“
Can I get up? I need to...I really have to pee, please.” She was squirming now, her need to go getting stronger by the moment.

“
I bet you could use a bath as well. Let me get that going for you.” He was up now, striding around the end of the bed toward her side and the bathroom. He was naked and hard, his erection jutting out from his groin beautifully. Her mouth watered. She no longer had to use the bathroom; suddenly, touching him seemed so much more important to her.

When she looked up at him, seeing the need in his eyes, she moaned. Colin’s eyes, they had changed to a dark gold. She stared, mesmerized, while he fisted his cock, stroking up and down twice.

“
See something you want, love?” He tightened his grip, moving his hand up and down. He was making her ache with need and he hadn’t even touched her yet. When he suddenly stopped and move toward her, she stopped him.

“
Don’t stop that, keep touching it.” Her voice took on a purr, her body suddenly restless and needful again. She could feel her pussy weep for him. She wanted to touch him again. She wanted to look, to watch what he was doing to himself more.

“
My cock, baby. It’s my cock. Say it. Tell me what you want me to do with my cock.” He continued to stroke himself, faster now. Her own body tightened and ached with need. How she could want him again so soon, she thought, after they had just had sex not but not a few hours ago? She sat up, spilling the sheet away from her body, it pooling at her knees, baring her for him. He moved closer as she reached for him. “Shade, tell me what you want,” he demanded of her in a growl.

She licked her lips, mesmerized as his eyes darkened to a deeper red. When she touched him, running her thumb over the blood filled head, a tiny drop of cum seeped from the end. She gathered the drop on her finger and put it in her mouth, sucking it clean, moaning with delight. That was all the encouragement he needed because he moved closer, cupping her head and pulling her mouth up to his, kissing her, his tongue tangling with hers, dancing a dance that lovers used. She wrapped her hand around his shaft, never breaking contact from his mouth. His hardness filled her hand, his width almost too much for her small fingers. He felt like velvet covering steel, thick and hard for her, just for her. Touching his mind gently, she knew what he wanted, what he needed, and she gave it all to him.

“
I want your cock, Colin. I want to taste more of you, please? Please, I need to taste you.” While she begged him, she moved her mouth down his delicious body, licking, biting, and nipping at his chest, his abdomen, moving closer to what she wanted. When her tongue touched his cock for the first time, he surged into the wet heat and began gently fucking her mouth. She pulled him deeper still, licking the underside of the head, forcing a groan from deep in his body.

Shade had no experience with sex, none in pleasing a man, and she so wanted to please him this one time. She gently reached out and touched him mind again, looking for his needs and seeing what he wanted. As soon as she touched him, it felt as if his mind wrapped around her, through her. She moaned at what she found there, his thoughts and images all centered on them and what he needed, wanted. This would be her last chance, she thought, and she was going to get as many of her own memories as she could.

She ran her tongue along the length of him, touching, and then cupping his balls. His moans vibrated through her, intensifying her pleasure. When she swirled her tongue around his head again and cupped his balls tighter, he gripped the back of her head and began pumping into her mouth none too gently now, his need to come driving him beyond reasonable control. She wasn’t sure how she knew this, but was sure.

His balls, heavy and hot, tightened closer to his body. When he tightened his fist in her hair, pulling it hard, she was afraid he wanted her to stop. There was no way that was happening, she thought, and sucked harder.

“
Shade, I’m going to come. I’m so close, baby. I want you to touch yourself. Give yourself pleasure for me; I want to watch you touch yourself. I want to watch you while you give yourself a climax.” She had never done anything like that before, but the look in his eyes made her want to try, for him. When she reached between her legs and stroked her clit first with one finger, then two, she moaned with his cock deep in her throat.

She experimented with her fingers until she found what brought her the most pleasure and began finger fucking her pussy with wild abandonment, her moans running along his shaft longer and faster. She could feel her climax racing to completion, her body taut and hard with the need to come. With her other hand around him, she pumped hard as she came, and he joined her. With a final push, he came, spurting his cum into her mouth, down her throat hot and fast. She swallowed him, taking all of his seed into her, not missing a drop.

When she flicked her tongue at the end of his cock, catching the last drop, he jerked her up to his body. Adjusting her legs around his hips, he crossed to the wall and pressed her up against it. He surged into her hard and fast. She was wet and her cream ran down her thighs, making his entry quick. It didn’t take long for them to reach their peak again; they were both so close. It took very little to have them both tumbling over the cliff of intense pleasure not two minutes after having a mind blowing orgasm on the bed.

The next time Shade woke up, for as much as she wanted to stay with Colin, she knew she had to leave. Her body tingled and ached. But she had never been so relaxed, or so sated in her life. She hadn’t known sex could be like that, not that she would have had it sooner. Shade also knew that had it have been anyone else, it would not have been nearly as good or so fulfilling.

She was able to get out from under his arms and Colin didn’t move, nor did he try to keep her to him this time. She felt for his pulse. It was then that Shade realized that it was daylight outside and he was in the deep sleep of his kind. She stood over the bed looking at the man she had spent the night with. He was so beautiful and so flippin’ stubborn. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to stroke his strong jaw line or smack it. She did neither, but slipped out of his room and made her way to the upper floors.

It was still early morning, around eight-thirty, when she stepped into the beautiful kitchen. Her hopes of getting out undetected were dashed when she found the rest of the house in there having breakfast.

Penny was making the biggest omelet she had ever seen with peppers, onions, cheese and mushrooms filling it to overflowing. When it seemed to satisfy the cook in her, she set it down in front of Sara with a glass of dark juice, toast and a full rasher of bacon.

“
Good morning, Shade. You look better this morning. How about you have something to eat?” Sara had spotted her first and the big man across from her turned around to look at her. She had never met him, but knew he was a vampire immediately, sensing his signature. The other man, Aaron, nodded in her direction, being totally engrossed in watching his mate eat. For whatever the reason, Shade could not fathom.

“
No thanks, I was just leaving.” She moved closer to the back door, but was brought up short by Aaron’s cool but authoritative voice.

“
Don’t even think about it, young lady. You and I haven’t had our little talk, and it’s long overdue. Dominic, I’d like to introduce you to Colin’s mate Shade Doe. Shade, this is Dominic Marshall. He’s a friend of ours and the tracker we hired to help us find you. You’ll be seeing a lot of him around, I’m sure. Have a seat please.” While he said please, Shade knew a command when she heard one. It made her bristle a little.

“
Why would you believe I’ll see him again? Never mind, I don’t care. I’d like to get this over with so I can leave. I have things to do today. While I’m sure you’ll find this hard to believe, things that I do don’t revolve around you. Where can we talk?” The smell of the food was making her hungry and slightly weak. This man, this master, drove her crazy on so many levels that most of the time she wanted to smack his smirk right off his arrogant face. She wondered, not for the first time, when she had become so violent and hostile. Then she glanced at Aaron and remembered.

“
Really? And I thought you and I were going to be the best of friends. Here is just fine. Sit. Penny will fix you something healthy to eat and while you’re enjoying it, we’ll talk. And don’t count on leaving when we’re finished either. Colin will have a say in that, I’m sure.”

“
No thanks, she doesn’t need to go to any trouble. I have this to eat. And Colin isn’t my boss or my mate. Whatever the hell you seem to think either of you are to me, Mr. MacManus, I answer to no one. If you believe otherwise, then you’re as nutty as he is.”

She pulled out a package of Ramen noodles from her pack and began eating them dry like a large cracker.

Shade had been eating them for so long, and dry like this, that she didn’t think how odd it must look to others, not that she would have cared overly much. When you couldn’t count on having electricity or sometimes water, you made do with what you had.

Apparently, Aaron thought that what he said was law and moved accordingly, snatching the dry noodles from her hand and asking Penny to add bacon and sausage to her big breakfast as well. When Shade only glared at him when asked what she wanted in her eggs, he told the nice cook to put the works into it.

“
And you will eat every bite of it if you know what’s good for you,” he said to her with a sneer.

Arrogant asshole,
Shade thought. It would serve him right if she were to puke the whole mess right down the front of his nice, probably very expensive suit.

“
You bloodsuckers certainly are a bunch of asses, aren’t you? Lording over all of us peons as if we are too stupid to know which way is up. I got news for you, fang face, you may be bigger, but I carry a much larger stick with these friggin’ abilities I’m stuck with. Now, back the fuck off. Ask your questions so I can leave here. And don’t even think about trying to stop me.” She wanted to leave right then, but she also wanted them to get this question and answer session over with so they would leave her alone for good.

Her hair, loose from her shower, started to lift and blow from an unseen breeze. She could feel her magic fill the room so full that it settled on her tongue, bitter and hot. Shade realized what she was doing and dropped her head down to her chest and took several deep, calming breaths to bring everything down and back under her rigid control.
Damn it
, she thought,
I’m a harpy and a flippin’ time bomb because of these people.

“
If you had more practice with your powers, Shade, they wouldn’t get away from you like that. I told you before that I’d help you with them and the offer still stands. I really think it’s necessary that you let me before you hurt yourself or someone else.”

Shade had never met a bossier group of people in her life. She wondered how they managed their own lives what with trying to run everyone else’s. She glared at the two of them. She knew she didn’t have much control. She never used the flippin’ things, so what was the purpose of wanting to get better at them?

Shade looked from the woman to the man, ignoring for the moment Sara’s offer of help. “Well? Are we going to get to this or what? I suppose I could wait until high day and watch you fry up like a burnt offering, but like I said before, I have things to do. Though, I will admit that the thought of you as a pile of ash does sound kinda fun.”

CHAPTER FIFTEEN~

Shade sat and toyed with the plate in front of her, moving the food from one side of it to the other. She was actually afraid to eat it. She didn’t think they would poison her; she just didn’t know if she could handle rich foods anymore. It had been years since she’d had any eggs, even longer for anything like meat. She did eat the wheat toast with a little bit of jam and drank most of the juice. And she had to admit, those were ambrosia to her taste buds.

Aaron, seemingly just realizing what he had done to her with the food, took pity on her and reached over and took the plate of food, asking Penny to make Shade some cereal. It was Penny who suggested cream of wheat. While it cooked, Aaron began asking Shade his questions. Just the three of them sat around the kitchen table as Dominic had already left. The sun was too high for him to stand.

“
Where are you from? I’m guessing you don’t live in a traditional setting, nor do I think you live where there is much in the way of amenities such as heat, water...you know, luxuries,” he said.

Aaron didn’t seem to realize that the simple pleasure of four walls had become a luxury to her over the years. That surviving every day had been so hard, though she had never given up, nor would she. It was such a struggle some days.

“
I live close to the city, as I’m sure you know, in one of the abandoned warehouses on Merchants Way. I have water now, not that it’s any of your business. When I don’t, I make do with what I can find. I’m very resourceful. I’ve lived in that general area for about six years now in different buildings. I’ve actually just moved into one of the newer buildings a few days ago, but I believe that I’ll be finding other accommodations as soon as I’m done here.” Leaving Aaron in no doubt that she was still planning to leave as soon as they were finished. She noticed that Aaron chose to move on for now.

“
Why don’t you have an apartment, or a job at least, and not one that pays you under the table? You seem able bodied enough, and you’re certainly not too terribly stupid. You know enough to come out of the rain, at least some of the time.”
