“God. I can’t believe it. If you keep touching me, I’ll come again and I don’t think I have it in me.”
    Sebastian raised a challenging eyebrow as she gently brushed Alex’s clitoris. Alex moaned and whimpered again. “You’re a beast.”
    “No, I’m a vampire,” Sebastian said and tenderly rolled the throbbing clit between her fingers and thumb. “So wet, love,” she whispered. “Look at me, Alex.”
    Alex’s green eyes fluttered open and gazed into the intense hazel eyes. “Oh, God, Sebastian. I’m gonna come again.”
    Once again, her orgasm started. This time, Sebastian brought her over the edge gently, never losing eye contact.
    Alex’s breathing hitched and she arched her back into Sebastian’s loving touch. “Yes,” she whispered. She reached down and held Sebastian’s hand against her as she trembled through the aftershock. “If you touch me again….”
    Sebastian emitted a low laugh and kissed her forehead. She lazily ran her fingers across the top of Alex’s breasts, then down the valley between them.
    “I’m not kidding, Sebastian.” She glared at the smirking vampire. “How come I’m the only one naked here?”
    “I’m not quite sure.” Sebastian pulled the afghan off the back of the chair, tucking it around Alex.
    Alex laughed and curled up on Sebastian’s lap. Sebastian wrapped her arm around her hips and held her close. Alex chuckled as she felt wayward fingers caressing her bottom. “You’re an octopus, for heaven’s sake. Sit still. How do you feel?” Alex saw the faraway look in Sebastian’s eyes. “What are you thinking?”
    Sebastian’s lips twitched with amusement. “Which question shall I answer first?”
    “Take your pick.”
    Sebastian ignored both. “I must meet with Gaylen this evening—”
    “Alone?”
    “No, love, I want you to meet him. William got this blood from Gaylen . He too believes as I do,” Sebastian said. “Besides, I want him to meet the doctor who saved my existence.”
    It struck Alex then just what Sebastian meant. Since she met Sebastian, Alex had thought only of her love for this brooding vampire. The extent of her research would soon reach far beyond her and Sebastian.
    Once Sebastian destroyed Leigh, an upheaval in the vampire community followed. Alex had no idea what that really meant. However, as she watched Sebastian’s intent gaze, she knew her research would be a catalyst for more upheaval. Alex carried the serum in her bloodstream for Sebastian, but there were others like Sebastian who needed it, as well.
    “We need a lab,” Alex said.
    Sebastian looked down into the green eyes and nodded. “We need to meet with Gaylen .”
    “He can help, right?”
    When Sebastian didn’t answer, Alex shivered and held Sebastian tighter.

Chapter 5

    “You didn’t indulge, Sebastian, so you can’t come with me,” Alex insisted while Sebastian brooded. “It’s still daylight and I want to see this property of yours.” She looked at her watch, then kissed Sebastian’s cheek. “Come join me when the sun goes down.”
    Sebastian grunted. “Don’t stray far.”
    Alex heard the concern in Sebastian’s voice. “I love it that you worry about me,” she said lightly and turned.
    Sebastian grabbed her elbow and pulled her back. “Don’t take this lightly. You must be cautious when I’m not with you. Why can’t you just wait until—?”
    “Sebastian, we can’t live in fear of everything. I’m just going for a walk.”
    “Damn it, you’re stubborn!” Sebastian waved her hands in a helpless gesture as she let Alex go.
    “Yes, and so are you, so stop scowling.” Alex kissed her on the lips and left.
    It would be twilight in a few minutes, Alex thought; Sebastian would join her then. She walked down the gravel drive and took a path through the woods. When the English Channel came into view, Alex took a deep breath of sea air. As she took in her surroundings, she realized that Sebastian’s house was situated on a hill
