Passion After Dark (43 page)

“
I ask myself that everyday cara.” He said.

“
So it worked then? Your plan fooled Fabian? You know, I’m so lucky that you have such better intuition than I do. How did you know he would not let us just leave with that contract being all that kept us bound to his requirements?”

“
I’ve known Fabian a long time cara and I’d like to have thought he’d let us go simply by agreeing to a few requests on a contract but I know he would have been fuming after what you did to him and he would hate the lack of control he has over you. The only way my sire could feel really back under control was to kill us. We were lucky he fell for my deception, booking two planes and paying that journalist to spread the word we’d been on that plane. It was such a mess no bodies were found and it saddens me that those few poor people died because of Fabian’s need to destroy us but there was nothing I could do to keep everyone safe. I had to protect you cara.”

“
I know baby. You can’t blame yourself for the evil mind of your sire. He wanted us dead. You did what you had to do to save us. We will send large cash settlements to the families of those who died onboard ok?”

Dominick nodded and lowered his head to kiss me. The kiss was gentle and loving but held that touch of sadness o
ver what had happened, what we’d had to overcome to get to where we were now.

Just then one of the air hostesses came through and asked us to fasten our seatbelts and I had to put my seat upright again.

Dominick held my hand while the plane came in to land and once it had taxied up to the terminal, he popped our seat belts undone and took my hand to lead me off the plane.

When I stepped onto Italian soil, or the tarmac in the late afternoon sun, I turned to my gorgeous vampire as he looked down at me. He
reached out and pulled me into his arms, kissing me briefly before holding me close to him.

“
Welcome home l’amore della mia vita. Ti amo cara, ti amo for eternita.”

I felt that usual thrill inside as he whispered to me in Italian in that sexy deep husky
voice of his and all I could think to myself was, I’d come home. I had the man, the all consuming love and a future that stretched out endlessly before us and that future would be filled with nothing but happiness spent with the man I loved more than anything else in this world.

The End.
