as I looked over the scene before me with the knowledge that Vince had been responsible for it. Vince had attacked two girls and injured a third for no reason what so ever. He had called over the radio knowing that we would all respond within an instant. And I had felt his want and desire for Eve the night before when we discovered that girl’s body…
As the realisation hit, my eyes swung to where Reese stood talking to the human police officer that had just pulled up. He was meant to be watching Eve. If he was here, then that meant…
“Trent. Reese. Chad. With me,” I ordered as I sprang for the door.
I had failed her. I had been trying to protect her, and, all this time, I had been assisting the one trying to harm her. How the fuck could I not have picked up on it sooner?
Probably because the fucker always avoided me. But still, this was unacceptable.
“Thayne, what’s wrong?” Chad asked, catching up to me.
“Vince is the stalker.” That was all that needed to be said; they would put the rest together themselves without my help. It didn’t take long either.
“Shit! I left her alone.” Reese almost stumbled as the knowledge hit him. “Thayne, I'm so sorry.”
“We don’t know if anything has happened to her yet,” I ground out, but I didn’t believe my own words. “She may well be fine.”
As we entered the corridor leading to Eve and Gideon’s offices, the faint scent of fresh blood hit me. It wasn’t strong, so at least that meant there was only a small drop that had been spilt, but it was a scent I would know anywhere. A scent that sent my throat burning and my fangs pushing through my gums and into my lip.
“Wow,” Chad gasped as he and the other guys had the same reaction. “What the fuck is that scent?”
Stopping in the doorway of Eve’s office, I glanced at the smashed remains of her room, my eyes narrowing on a small dark patch on the carpet by the desk. All three guys zeroed in on it, their eyes black with hunger. “That my friends is the sigh that our stalker has got his mark.”
Eve
I was a nervous wreck. Feeding Gideon hurt, a lot. And now he was expecting me to feed him more often than before. I was in no doubt that he would expect that first feed tonight either.
It had actually surprised me at first that he hadn’t demanded that I give him a feed then and there, but when I left the room I knew exactly why he hadn’t. Thayne and the guys had been following me since this whole mess of dead bodies started, and they still were. Reese had been stood a little down the corridor when I’d exited Gideon’s office, pretending to view something on his phone, but I wasn’t stupid. He was watching me, and the moment I entered my office I was in no doubt that he’d informed Thayne of my whereabouts.
I tried my best to concentrate on the papers before me, but it was hopeless. If I wasn’t thinking about the pain that was to come from feeding Gideon, I was thinking about Thayne and how much I wished that it was him that would be sinking his fangs into my flesh, draw my power-giving blood into his body. And then my mind would hit the gutter and the image of Thayne, his naked body pressing against me, would enter my mind. And then all I could think about was those other parts of him that I wouldn’t mind sinking into me.
Argh! I would never get anything done at this rate. Thayne seemed to have taken up residency in my brain since his appearance here, and it seemed like he was in no rush to vacate it.
What was it about him? I’d never had this kind of instant attraction to a vampire before. Not that I’d ever really had the chance. Until I had come to the club, I’d only ever know four other vampires, Gideon being the forth. The three that came before him I tried my best not ever to think about, it just brought up bad memories, ones that I’d done my best to suppress since my escape.
Would Thayne be the same as everybody else if he knew? Would he force me to submit to
