Page 8 of The Blood Deliverance

“I'll keep you informed, but for now, have breakfast with your beloved and enjoy the morning."

“Will do.” With that he closed the call and headed to the guest room to shower and dress before ordering up some breakfast.

He was in the kitchen pouring coffee and getting the meal set out when James came walking in wearing his shirt from yesterday and a pair of Fane’s sweats. “You look lovely this morning.” Fane walked over and kissed him lightly on the lips and then guided him over to the island and helped him get seated. He handed him a cup of coffee and indicated the milk and sugar present.

“This looks delicious thank you.” He said as he tucked into the meal of eggs, bacon and toast that Fane had set out for him.

“You’re welcome.” Fane was surprised by how good he felt providing for his beloved. It was a new feeling, and he was pretty sure he liked it.

“I’d like to go to my apartment and pick up a few things. I need some clothes and I forgot my phone.” James finished his plate, and Fane dished him up more eggs and bacon. “Thank you.” He said as Fane poured him another cup of coffee.

“I have someone packing up your apartment, and they will bring all of your things here to you." Fane noticed a tightness in James’ expression, so he explained himself. “Hanover is going to try and pull something, and I’d like for you to stay inside today for your own safety." The expression softened to a smile, and James continued with his breakfast. “And don’t worry about your mom, I have someone checking on her.”

“You're the best thing to happen to me in a very long time, Fane Madden. If you’re not careful, I think I might fall in love with you.” James stated this and then took a long sip of his coffee, not realizing how much that statement had affected Fane.

"That sounds good to me, baby. I fell for you from the moment I held you in my arms and smelled your sweet aroma of orchids.” Fane closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “You smell like mine, baby.”

“I smell like orchids?” He asked with a smile and Fane nodded. “I thought I was crazy when I thought you smelled like chocolate chip cookies.” He laughed.

“Fate gives our intended our favorite aroma. I love the scent of orchids, and obviously, you love chocolate chip cookies."

“That is wild.” He exclaimed. He loved seeing James’ excitement over every new discovery.

James was stuck between fear of Jerry and his goons and the love and excitement over his new life with Fane. His mood was tilting back and forth with every new piece of information. He was just finishing up his breakfast when Fane received a call that seemed urgent. He left the room and when he return he had his jacket and was adding weapons to a shoulder harness he was wearing.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Some of Hanover’s people have been spotted in our territory. I’m going to check it out.” Fane came over and wrapped him in a tight hug and kissed him until he nearly passed out and then he stepped back.

“Be careful those guys are monsters.” James was aware that Fane was able to take care of himself but still he worried.

“I’ll be fine." He smiled indulgently. "Relax, call your mom and I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t leave the apartment. If you want company or want to speak with someone call this number. His name is Dean he’s my bosses beloved he’s human like you and a sweetheart of a guy.” Fane stared at him until he agreed to stay put.

"I won't leave the apartment. I know how dangerous Mr. Hanover is.”

“Good, I will be back as soon as I can.” He repeated and hesitated just for an instant before turning and leaving the apartment.

James was picking up the dishes from breakfast and placing them in the sink to rinse when suddenly he was wrapped in two strong arms and pushed up against the wall. Fane was kissing him madly and pressing his body against his. He plungedhis hand inside James’ loose sweats and took hold of his now hardening cock, and squeezed while sinking his teeth into the little scar on his neck.

He felt his body explode with the sensations elicited by the embrace, and he panted and shook and grabbed at Fane, digging his fingers into his upper arms. His cock was suddenly hard as a rock, and then he came with a sharp gasp pumping his seed over Fane’s talented hand. He pulled back, licked the wound closed, and placed a kiss on the ultra-sensitive scar.

"I can never get enough of you, baby." Fane pulled his hand free and licked his fingers, driving James completely insane, and he came again with no touch, no stimulation. He came with just that erotic vision.

Fane stepped back and smiled. “See you soon.” He said and left. James stood there leaning against the wall catching his breath and calming his heart. Life with Fane was going to be amazing. He looked down at his sweats and with a satisfied smile realized he would need another bath and another pair of sweats.

Fane was with Samuel watching the back door of the club while others were out front and Drakon was inside. Word had gotten to them that Hanover was moving on the Blood Rose that afternoon and they were ready.

Four jackals broke the lock on the back door and entered and Fane and Samuel followed them inside keeping back and in the shadows. There were so many vampire scents around that the jackals would not be able to pick them out.

Once inside, they could see that four others had entered from the front in the same manner. At the bar, wiping it down,was Drakon, who looked up at the intruders as soon as they made their way to the main room.

“You the only one here vampire.” One of the jackals shouted and moved toward him. “Too bad for you.” One of the jackals must have recognized Dragon because he started to backup heading for the front door but was blocked from escape.

As soon as the jackal moved on Drakon, Fane, and the others moved on the jackals. They were fierce and formidable but lacking in numbers. Drakon and his enforcers finished them and didn't even mess up the bar . . . too much. There was blood and tissue here and there, but overall, it would be easy enough to set it right before opening time.
