cell phone out of her bag and dialed.  A Hey, Keelie, it’s Brea.   You are not going to believe this!”
     
         Angel was aware of Brea the moment she entered the front gates.  He could smell her, even in his sleep.  It pleased him that she made herself at home in his house.  That was what he wanted.  That was the purpose of letting her have free reign during the day.  He wanted her to be comfortable. 
         He heard her gasp when she found the lingerie he had left in her drawer.  He had no specific reason for buying it, wishful thinking, maybe.  He knew she would be stunning in it.  A man could hope, couldn ’t he?
         Even though he was awake, Angel made no move to go to her.  He listened as she talked to her werewolf friend on the phone, and he finally settled back into his slumber when he heard the steady breathing from the next room.  She had fallen asleep.  Good.  He would see her that night.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

SIX
     
        Brea was still brushing her hair when someone knocked on her bedroom door.  She dropped the brush on the bathroom vanity, ran her hands over her blouse to remove any stray hairs, straightened her skirt, and moved to open the door.
     
         The man on the other side was most definitely a vampire.  He was tall, six foot at least, pale skin and sharp, angular features.  His black hair was so black that it had a slight blue sheen to it.  It was restrained neatly behind his neck with a leather tie.  He stared at her momentarily with icy blue eyes, so pale that the color almost wasn ’t there at all. 
         Brea just stood there in the open door, staring at the man open mouthed.  She couldn ’t get over just how beautiful vampires were.  It was one of their weapons.  Prey would fall easier to something that was pleasing to look at.  And this man was definitely eye-candy.
         “Hello, Breanna,” he caressed her with his voice, “I am Sebastian.  I am head of vampire security.  It is an honor to meet you.”
         “Brea,” she corrected.
         “Brea,” he said, nodding.  “I am supposed to prepare you for your duties while you are here.  Will you walk with me?”
         Brea nodded and stepped out into the hall.  “Where’s Angel?” she asked.
         “He is seeing to his responsibilities right now, he has asked that I see that you are entertained until he is able to return.”
         “You mean he is out feeding on some unsuspecting fool,” she muttered under her breath.  Sebastian laughed.  Brea hadn’t meant to say it out loud, and she felt the blood pooling under her cheeks.   “I’m sorry, that wasn’t fair.”
         “It is fine.  You don’t know much about vampires, do you?” he asked, smiling.
         “No,” she admitted.
         “I will be happy to inform you of anything you wish to know,” Sebastian offered.
         “Do you feed on humans?”
         “If the human is willing,” he answered honestly.  “When a willing donor isn’t available, we have supplies.  We keep blood on hand.  One never knows when there will be a willing partner.  We do prefer it fresh, however, it is not necessary.”
         “Oh,” Brea said. 
          “So you need have no fear of becoming dinner, my dear.  No one here will touch you without permission.  Angel has forbidden it, and it would be just plain rude.”  That was a relief to Brea.  “Besides,” he continued, “Angel will be joining us for dinner in one hour.  He will be most displeased to find you anything other than content.”
     
         “What is for dinner?” Brea asked, her stomach rumbling.
         “We will have steak.  If that is not satisfactory for you, I will ask Freida to prepare something different for you.”
         “Don’t be silly, steak will be fine.”
         “Very well, now, as for your job here.  You are to assist Angel
