who stayed in touch with him the most and annoyed him the least. When his cousin had explained the young woman was his blood mate’s younger sister, Julian had reluctantly agreed to shelter her as a favor to both Dominic and his new vampiress.
    Eleni was not at all what he expected. When she’d stepped into his office looking like a lost lamb, her pale blue eyes resting on his face, an instant heated attraction had soared through him. It had also angered him. Of course, the one Acolyte he’d agree to take into his home would have to be striking, with the features of a living Venus—her beauty incongruent to his monstrous scars.
    Brooding over this, he went to the mini bar, and pulled out a chilled bottle of Sévigné wine. He shouldn’t have been so harsh with her. The deal had been made before her arrival. And he couldn’t say he was displeased with her. That was far from the truth. He had never seen a more attractive Acolyte. A tall, slender body to offer him pleasure, full lips for sucking him to ecstasy. If she had been born two hundred years ago, there would have been sonnets written in her honor of her ethereal beauty. Vampires would have lined up with trinkets to entice her into accepting their sponsorship. With the right selection, she would have been immortal not long after her debut into society. But that was not the case. She was a modern woman, and now, she was his. He fully intended to show her the pleasurable benefits of living under his roof.
    Apparently, she was well aware of her poor state. He had not missed the sadness in her eyes, and something in that had touched him. He understood sadness. He’d lived through lifetimes of it. And he could not fathom how such a lovely creature could have been so ill used. The vampire who mistreated her was a fool.
    He wanted to run his hands through her pale hair, feel the cool silk flow through his fingers. Her mouth was round and plump and completely fascinating. He wondered how it would look with her kneeling before him with his cock sliding between those cherry red lips. He intended to find out.
    A light rap on the door, he looked up. Already his cock stirred to semi-hardness. “Enter,” he commanded, and settled back, expecting, anticipating Eleni. He didn’t realize how much he wanted to see her, to simply look at her again, attempt to unravel the mysteries of his new protégé, until the left side door opened, and Gisele stepped through. A wave of disappointment flowed through him when she entered the room and closed the door.
    Her hands hidden behind her, she stood there wide-eyed, like a child with a secret. A thin smile curved his mouth as he reached beneath the bar for a corkscrew. “You helped my new protégé settle into her room?”
    “I showed her the room. I assume she is still upstairs unpacking.”
    He looked up, fixed his eyes piercingly on her face. “ She is unpacking?”
    Gisele froze. “It was her decision. I offered, but she declined.”
    Interesting. Gisele often left Claudette to take up her chores. The housekeeper was getting older, and he feared the day he would lose her. She had been a trusted servant to him for many years. He would have to bring Eloise from Paris if something happened to Claudette, and that was far from ideal as Eloise was not getting any younger herself. He didn’t know how the woman would handle moving from the city to the chateau, but on the other hand, he didn’t think Gisele wouldn’t be able to handle the running of his house.
    His brow furrowed. For the past few years, he had been wondering what to do with Gisele. She was a woman now, twenty four, probably not many years younger than Eleni. Still, he would always think of her as a child, as she was Claudette’s great niece, and he had watched her grow up in his home. Whenever he looked at her, he couldn’t help seeing the bright-eyed little girl Claudette had begged him to take in, but it seemed like Gisele should be doing something more with her life.
