see that they would be huge when opened.
“You! I though you dead. Hoped it. I kill you now, mother fucker. My mate, he and I will eat your innards for our sup,” the being hissed at the woman.
“Nope, not dead. Your mate is, however. He cried like a little babe when he died.
You will do the same. It has been sanctioned and you know how much I love it when I have those kinds of orders.”
Power burst from the being and looked to narrowly miss the girl. Suddenly, she was on the being’s back with a wicked knife at his throat. Aaron hadn’t seen it until that moment and wondered if she or the being had brought it. He’d not seen her have anything so assumed that she had taken it from the monster. She brought the blade across the monster’s throat and removed its head. Black blood oozed from its neck and onto the ground as it dropped. Aaron watched as she reached above her head, seemingly to gather energy from around her. The blue ball, small at first in her hands, seemed to grow with the seconds. When it was perhaps three inches in diameter, she threw it into the blood and body and it exploded, destroying everything it touched.
The woman dropped to the ground and when he moved toward her, she simply raised her hand to still him. He waited. He could feel her weakening state and wondered how she was even able to sit upright. The scent of fresh blood tickled his throat.
“I would really like to go now please. I don’t have...I must feed soon and go to ground. Please, give me a moment and I’ll be ready.”
“All right, we can go. I won’t even ask you again to take some of my blood. I know you to be stubborn enough to refuse.” He moved closer and kneeled down in front of her.
“I didn’t catch your name. I would like to tell whomever you work for what a great job you’ve done for our kind. And that you saved my life. For that, I thank you.” Aaron touched her mind and was immediately seized with a sharp pain in his. Wincing slightly, he backed out of her head. Sara had been right, she was strong.
“Keep out, master, or it will only get worst. And I didn’t throw it. I’m going to have to touch more of your skin this time. I need a better contact with you to move the three of us. I don’t mean to be rude, but could you please open your shirt? I won’t harm you.”
Aaron started unbuttoning the shirt he had on. He knew instinctively that he could trust her. She had saved the vampire when she could have easily have let him die. She had also saved him. He wondered if this being was created like another of his Kiss, Bailey. He was going to look into it as soon as he got back.
When he moved toward the vamp on the ground she stopped him. “I’ve got him. Just stand still. I’m weak, master, if you will please just not try anything stupid, you’ll be conscious when we get to our destination; otherwise, I’ll have to knock you out. Deal?”
Aaron nodded then watched her lean down and pick Samuel up. So, she was strong of both mind and body. He was impressed. Moving toward her when she waved him close, she turned his back to her hip, wrapped her hand around him, and splayed her figures wide over his chest.
“We’ll land where we departed. I know that there is no furniture there so we won’t have to worry about you getting staked when we land. Hopefully.” Before he could react to that scary statement, they were in the bar.
No one moved. Aaron was glad for that as he was dizzy again. He didn’t know the mode of transportation she was using, but it was incredibly fast. When she let go of him he stepped away and staggered slightly. Aiden and Tristan jumped forward to catch him.
“I’m fine. Someone take the man and be careful, he’s injured. As is she. Aiden, don’t. I can see in your stance that you wish to harm her, but for all of our sakes, don’t.”
“She owes me. I haven’t the slightest idea why she picked me to attack, but she owes me bl—”
“I attacked you because you were by
