I will melt if you don’t.” Her words came out in little gasps.
Plunging his shaft deep inside her - he thrust wildly, rocking against her.
Nicole screamed.
The pain went hand in hand with pure erotic sensation. She propelled her hips to meet his, as he slammed into her swollen - hot flesh. Wrapping her legs around his hips, she pulled him in deeper.
Again Nicole screamed as she felt the fire within her grow into an uncontrollable inferno, but then it erupted - spreading its flames through her body. Her release was as complete as her passion had been.
“Nicole,” he growled.”
The exotic look of his eyes, as his own need surged - sent her into another orgasm. Again she reached that explosive point when she felt his hard flesh pulsate within her, as he soared to his peak.
For a long time they lay still, their limbs still entwined - their bodies as one. Nicole began to shiver with chill. Making love to Alec was better than she could have ever imagined, but he lacked body heat.
Alec separated from her - leaning over to kiss her softly. “That was incredible,” he whispered.
“Thank you Alec,” she told him, lifting her head to kiss him again.
He chuckled. “You’re kidding, right? It is I that should be thanking you.”
“It was the most unbelievable experience,” she told him. Sitting up - she took the blouse he was holding out to her.
In the aftermath of their passion, Nicole finally remembered what her mother had told her. “Do you know of a vampire that calls himself Donavan Ashe?”
Alec’s brows came together, and he asked, “Why?”
“He’s my father,” Nicole told him.
The expression on his face shifted from a look of contentment - to alarm. “No wonder Omar wants you.”
Chapter Nine
Turning away, he told her, “This cannot happen again,”
Surprised by his behavior, Nicole reached out and touched his arm. “Why? What’s wrong?”
“It’s too dangerous. Not just because of who your father is, but because you share the DNA of a very ancient vampire. Just a trace of the vampire poison would probably turn you.”
“But I am fine. Nothing happened.”
He looked back at her, smiling sadly. “We were lucky this time. I can barely control my urges when I am making love to you. It would be too easy to poison you through a wound. If my blood gets into your system …”
“Who is Donavan?” Nicole asked.
“He is Omar’s brother. This is why he wants me to bring you to him. He wouldn’t want to risk getting Donavan’s attention. If you go to him on your own … what could Donavan do? But he will take the risk … if I don’t bring you to him soon,” he added.
Nicole was silent.
Alec continued, “He offered to tell me what I want to know about the Place of Light if I did. I told him I would consider it, but that was only to buy some time.”
“But if you brought me to him, it would not be of my own will,” she pointed out.
“But Donavan wouldn’t know that. If you went with me, it would appear as if you did. Your father probably has Watchers.”
Nicole was relieved. Finally she felt as if she could truly trust Alec. His heart was not cold. She knew that now. “Where can I find my father?” she asked.
“I don’t know. It’s been years since he’s been in New Orleans. He disappeared, but like I said … I am sure that he has followers watching you.”
“If he was so concerned … why did he leave?” Nicole asked, her bitterness evident.
“He probably didn’t want Omar to know about you,” Alec told her as he was getting into his clothes. “If Omar can turn you and become your maker … you would be a powerful ally. Many of us that oppose Omar have suspected he was up to something, but didn’t know what.”
“So his intention has never been to kill me, but to turn me?” She was trying to wrap her mind around this bizarre twist.
“That is now what I suspect.”
“How did he find out?”
“You likely came to his notice
