your story.” He rested his chin on top of her head, and she rolled her eyes at Suzanne, who laughed, but all the while she loved his attention.
    “Don’t think I don’t know what you did.” His hand slid under her shirt and he cupped her breast.
    “Nikola…” Lissa tried to push his hand away, but he kept it there.
    Nikola turned her head towards him and lifted her chin to stare into her eyes. “I’m not hurting you am I, Lissa?” she sighed, and gave up. Lissa curled up tighter against his chest while he caressed her breast.
    She glanced up at Suzanne. “The girls were lucky, he didn’t touch them. Towards the end, before I could escape, he’d come for me, because he knew my body would heal.” Nikola hissed behind her and grew still, but said nothing more. “He was the one Stephen handed me over to when they drugged me.” Lissa gripped Nikola’s shirt tight, not caring, as she continued her story.
    “Three days before the girls got me out of there, he came for me. He had huge chunks of his skin missing on his back and there were also claw marks. They were healed, but healed in a way that the skin just covered over the missing muscle, that should have beneath that area.” Like Suzanne she rubbed her arms, but Nikola brushed her arms away, and held her more tightly rubbing her arms for her.
    “That night…Well let’s say he not only took my blood, but part of my hide with him.” She inched out of Nikola’s arms and stood. She lowered the left side of her jeans, where a patch of skin now covered a hollow part of her hip, the size of a half-dollar.
    “It seems he also had the taste for flesh. It took Della a good two weeks to heal me after that. That is one of the reasons I needed more blood than usual. It wasn’t just the Calcitonin in my system, but his bite, which had some kind of acid that destroyed the skin around it.” She pulled her jeans back up and sat down on Nikola’s lap, feeling exposed.

Chapter Four
    Pierre and Adonis moved into the kitchen with the other men. Lissa stiffened in Nikola’s arms, but didn’t move as Castor bent down next to her and cupped her cheek. “You are a very brave woman, Lissa, I’m just sorry…”
    Lissa put her finger to his mouth. “We all made mistakes, Castor. Look at Stephen, he was my biggest.”
    “Well isn’t that cute. But you’re forgetting something…” Kimberly laughed, spit went flying everywhere. “The Bloods now surround this place, they know all the secrets of the tunnels, too.”
    Nikola released his mate, and helped her stand to face Kimberly. “You betrayed the Earth, Kimberly. She wants you back for good.” Lissa whispered and everyone watched as vines, leaves, and thorns covered her body, piercing her eyes, mouth and nose. The vines enclosed her and dragged her now small carcass out the window, back where the vines had come.
    “Oh crap…Jaycee…” Lissa turned to see Jaycee grab her mouth and run toward the sink. “Damn, I’m sorry Jaycee, I didn’t know it would get that gory.”
    Nikola and Castor moved next to Lissa, and waited as Jaycee puked all that she had eaten. When she was finally done, and had rinsed out her mouth, she turned and smiled. “Honey, that was the best horror/live flick I have ever seen. It’s just too bad my stomach was so queasy. Now, it’s obvious we can’t stay here, and we can’t go back to our home, any ideas?”
    Dane handed Jaycee a can of ginger ale from the fridge and moved her toward the kitchen table once more. Granger stopped in front of them and stared at her, then at Castor. “I was talking to Dominic last night, about Rose Island.”
    Nikola glanced at Castor who nodded his head. “Yes, that would be the perfect place to set up. It’s completely surrounded by water and it’s big enough to hold all of us. We’ll need to update the main house, but I think it will work.”
    Lissa listened for a little while, until she cleared her throat. “Um, excuse me, but we might want to
