Christian is the exception to Tiffany’s rule that all males are louses. For years Tiffany has lusted after Christian and of late she can’t help but wonder what it might be like to have a brief fling with him. The opportunity to explore her secret fantasy appears when Christian offers her a job as the IT person for his practice, the V clinic. She knows if he gives her the green light, she’s going to have a romp with her sexy vampire. When the night finally arrives and she and Christian have sex, the experience is so overwhelmingly powerful, Tiffany backpedals and tries to turn down the heat between them. She’s human. He’s a vampire. She can’t afford to fall in love with him.
Christian has other ideas. During their sexual encounter, he discovers Tiffany is his life mate and he vows to change her thinking. His intentions are put on hold when he gets caught up in an angel of death’s vicious plan to chemically terminate V clinic patients’ pregnancies. Tiffany herself falls victim to a lethal dose of arsenic and Christian can only save her by turning her into a vampire. She’s furious when she wakes from her turning and discovers what Christian has done. She wants nothing to do with him ever again, but when she’s kidnapped by this angel of death and used as a guinea pig for deadly experiments she only has Christian to turn to save her life.

Christian’s
heart was pounding when he pulled up in front of a huge machine shed, just the
size and color Tiffany had described. He knew in his heart she was inside. The
confirmation was the black Jeep Cherokee sitting in front of the overhead
doors. The license plate number was an exact match to the Jeep in the Walmart
video footage.
He’d
found her!
Christian
wanted to ram the overhead door with his truck and tear apart anyone who
blocked his path to his woman, but logic prevailed. This offensive attack
needed to be organized.
Nathan’s
men began to pile out of the SUV’s, all packing semi-automatic weapons and
covered with body armor. Like ants they split apart. Half streamed single file
around the building looking for other entrances, the other half positioned
themselves in front of the overhead door, weapons drawn. Christian, a split
second behind them, hopped out of the truck and retrieved a twelve gauge shot
gun from the bed. He handed off another to Asa then headed toward a side door
right of the overhead.
“Try to
keep a cool head, Chris. I know you’re chomping at the bit to get to her, but
organization is paramount.”
Nathan
along with Dominic and Dimitri approached him. “We’re going to do this swat
team style. This side door comes down then we enter behind my men.” He nodded
at the six positioned around the door. “No renegade justice if possible,
Christian. I want to take them alive.”
“No
arguments here. We need Charla alive in particular. She created the serum and I
have to know what’s in it if I have any hope of treating Tiffany and the other
women.”
Nathan
nodded then gave a hand signal for his men to proceed.
Christian
shucked a round into the chamber and waited as two of Nathan’s men positioned a
battering ram in the middle of the door. One mighty thrust and the door caved
inward, hanging awkwardly by the top hinge.
Nathan’s
men rushed inside, Christian at their heels. He flipped up his sunglasses and
looked about the inky darkness of a huge garage, plenty luminous for vampire
eyes. Another standard door led to the belly of the building in the far right
corner. He headed toward it, behind Nathan’s six men. Asa, Dominic and Nathan
took up the rear, single file behind him.
At this
point most everyone inside had surely heard the door come down. Christian
needed to alert Tiffany and make her ready for whatever transpired once they
emerged into the building’s interior.
We’re
here. Get ready. Say nothing and stay calm. I’ll be there before you know it.
You’re
here? Thank God, Christian.
Are you
alone?
Yeah,
I’m still alone and tied down to this damned bed. My heart is about to beat out
of my chest. That’s my only tell, but no one except a vampire could here it.
I’ll
hear it soon enough and it will be music to my ears.
Be
careful.
You
too.
Two of
Nathan’s men took the battering ram to the interior door. Once it was relieved of
it’s hinges, Christian rushed inside behind four of Nathan’s men. He expected
to be met by the very least the brother armed to defend his turf, but instead
two young thin vampire girls with hideously gray skin and gaunt features stood
in a long hall just out a doorway to his right. The scent of chili wafted from
the room, and Christian assumed it to be a kitchen.
The two
girls appeared terrified, frozen in place, eyes wide and flitting from one
armed man to another.
“Hands
in the air!” one of the humans ordered.
They
instantly obeyed.
Christian
raised the barrel of his gun toward the ceiling. These poor little things were
no threat. “Are you here by choice?” he asked them.
Both
shook their heads, still wearing petrified expressions.
“Take
us to the four women they brought here three days ago,” he demanded.
Just
then a man walked out the doorway, hands in the air. Christian saw a holstered
gun on his hip. The others must have too. Every man took aim on him with their
weapons.
“Get
down! Face down on the floor. Hands behind your head!” two of the human men
yelled.
He did
their bidding without a word. Seconds later he was swarmed by three humans,
stripped of his gun and handcuffed.
Christian
glanced at Asa who stared at the two frightened vampire girls with pity. He
felt the same emotion himself, but he needed them to lead him to Tiffany and
the others.
“Where
are the women?” he asked again with less rancor.
The one
closest to them finally answered. “D-down this hallway, take a left and you’ll
find them in the curtained cubicles.”
Christian
wanted to bolt in the direction they’d indicated, but he held back, glanced at
Asa then behind him at Nathan, Dominic and Dimitri. They all wore an expression
similar to what was on his mind. This was just too damned easy.
“Are
you Terry, Charla’s brother?” Christian asked, stepping up to the head of the
prone man who craned his head to glare up at him with equal doses of hate and
spite.
“How do
you know my name?”
“Never
mind that. Get up and lead us to the women.” Christian yanked him up and onto
his feet so fast, he’d probably dislocated his shoulder. A harsh grunt of pain
said he was correct, but he didn’t care. This man was part of this kidnapping
and drugging ring. He deserved a bullet between the eyes, but right now he’d
serve just fine as a hostage.
The
young sickly girls did not deserve such treatment. “Dominic, Dimitri, could you
escort these young ladies out of the building? That is if you want to leave.
We’ll make sure you get home, back to your lives, families, whatever.”
Both
shook their heads adamantly and the two men corralled them around the small
posse in the entryway then out of the building.
Christian
shoved the barrel of his gun against the man’s spine. “Lead us to them now.”
Terry,
craned his head back and gave him a look of disgust. “I’ll lead you right to
them, vampire, but it won’t do you any good. By now they’re all on their way
out. I’m sorry about that. I really am. I liked that one with the mouth.”
“Tiffany.”
“Yeah.
That’d be the one.”
“You’d
better qualify that comment and quick if you want to live. Where are they being
taken?”
“I couldn’t answer that, but maybe you can. Where do vampires go
when they die?”
