“I’m so sorry Victor. I truly am.”
“It’s okay.” I tell her and she looks surprised to hear it.
“It’s not okay and it was wrong of me to charm you in the first place and mess with your head. I saw you and … well. Elves aren’t known for being with night creatures of the dark like vampires. I never meant to hurt you.”
I shake my head. More tears stream down her cheeks and I wipe them away.
I lower to meet her lips and she moves to me too. The kiss that follows is the kind that is filled with greed and a mingle of desire.
I only pull back to place the vial in my jacket and put it down, when I reach for her again it’s with every intention of making her mine.
Again.
Chapter Four
Selene
The kiss was the kind to fill my thoughts with everything I’ve ever dreamt of.
A kiss from a man I desired for so long, day in, day out.
It makes every fiber in me tingle with the wild sensation of him. only him. I’ve only ever felt like this about him.
We kiss the clothes off each other. I just manage to admire the masterpiece of his naked body before he turned me to face the wall and lines his cock up with my entrance.
I gasp when he plunges deep inside me and soon the sounds of our bodies slapping together envelope us.
I get lost in him. Lost in the pleasure he gives me as he pounds into me and lost in the pulse of sizzling hot electricity that sparks over me.
He speeds up and starts rutting into me hard and sure, relentless, making my core quiver and my soul shiver.
The tension roils within me and comes full force to claim me and we both come together in a shared release that severs me from reality.
His pumps slow languidly and he holds me against him, right against the corded muscles of his chest.
I want to stay here forever, I do, but we don’t have time. He pulls out of me and turns me around to face him. His hair, wild and ruffled looks off the charts sexy, but so does the sweat dripping down his shoulders.
“You…”
“You…” I say too.
He places his hands either side of me and lowers to brush his nose over mine. He doesn’t move away though.
“You’re coming with me to the Starlight realm. You’re mine now, Selene.”
That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
“Yours?” I beam unable to contain my excitement.
“Mine. That is where I’m taking you.”
I run my hand over his cheek. “Victor… I’m human in the future. Something must happen to me.”
“It will not be something bad. I will never allow anything bad to happen to you. And, whether you’re human or vampire, I will love you.”
I throw my arms around him and hold him close to me. He holds me too. Those words will forever be imprinted on my soul.
“I love you,” I whisper.
“And I you. Let’s get out of here Selene.”
We gather together after and plan.
At ten to midnight we make our move.
Victor, Heath and Phoebe go to the ship. I stay back to cast the spell.
It’s strange that I know exactly what I have to do. I know exactly what to do.
I make my way to Roth’s office just like I did earlier.
He’s always in there late doing what he calls paperwork. I don’t give a shit what it is he’s doing to night.
No one would dare walk into his office uninvited and not knock, so the look of fury on his face is a sight to behold when I push the door and walk right in.
“What are you doing in here?” he fumes, nostrils flared.
That’s all he gets to do. I wish I had the power to destroy him. I truly do.
Maybe one day. I’m happy to allow someone else to do it for me though.
I’m also happy with what I can do now.
I raise my hand. That is all it takes.
I’ve enchanted the ship the guys are in so they won’t be affected by the mass spell I’m about to conjure.
Roth stills and stares at me blank as the invisible controls of my spell begin to take effect and I start to control his mind.
“You will not remember us. You will release the ship that’s about to leave the hangar and leave us be. The names Victor, Heath, Phoebe and Selene will not exist to you. We were never here. Never existed to you or anybody else.” That is my command and he will follow.
I thank Leora for the powers she’s given me. I know it is no mere thing because right now I’m beyond vampire and anything I’ve ever been before.
Roth nods and I leave.
I make my way to the ship where Victor takes me into his arms.
“Is it done?” he asks.
“It’s done.”
Heath and Phoebe join us. I learned a lot about those two in the last few hours.
“It seems so easy,” Heath states. “It doesn’t sit well with me to leave the fae.”
“We must.” I tell him.
Phoebe nods and links her arms with his.
“Come on guys, let’s get the hell out of here.” Victor smiles. His smile is infectious. It’s a rare thing. But I get the feeling I’ll be seeing more of those.
It’s a good reward.
Epilogue
Victor
It feels easy all so easy, but maybe it’s our reward for the hard journey we faced.
Heath uses his magic to get past the hollows and we fly far, far away from Thebe.
I don’t even look back.
I don’t want to.
We won’t be remembered and I don’t want to remember the horror of that place.
All that I want to remember is right here with me.
Selene next to me and Heath and Phoebe.
Selene smiles at me and reaches for my hand. I take it and bring it up to my lips to kiss.
“Journey starts here, guys,” I say looking from her to
