Page 14 of Daring Her Vampires
“Bring it on, vampire.” She tips her chin, moves inside the room, and slams the door.
“This is going to be fun, brother.” I open the door.
“Told you,” he mumbles. “Stay here. I’ll get the bags.” Nodding, I shut the door behind him.
I’m dreading the night. If I have to battle her whole family to have her, I will.
I can play nice.
Maybe.
Chapter Four
Sally
Rushing into my bathroom, I turn on the shower and dump my purse by the sink. It was torture listening to my phone ding with repeated texts and not being able to answer it. On the drive, I attempted to calm my nerves and accept this new development. It seemed like a good idea to challenge my mates, but what I said was true. They are important. This isn’t a fun night with someone. Our relationship will last forever, and I don’t want to fuck it up. I’ve been waiting too long to find them.
My hands shake as I unlock my phone and take a deep breath. The desire is still pounding through my blood. Our encounter wasn’t long, but it was powerful. I wasn’t prepared to be so drawn to them. They don’t have to touch me for me to want them. Being alone with them, their scent seeps into my home,and my body pushes me to complete the bond now. I don’t have any doubts about fulfilling my fate, but I want them to know me and the crazy family. I project a strong personality, and so do they. We all have hidden issues that have made us who we are, and I want to know theirs. The problem with that is I’ll have to talk about mine.
Opening the group text, I’m shocked to discover that Bash started it.
Bash: Micah almost killed them. I’ll finish it.
Ava is River’s mate and had a rough beginning with Bash. I’m not surprised when she snaps at him.
Ava: You can’t kill Sally’s mates.
Bash: I can.
Heath: I’ll help.
I’m stunned at Heath’s participation; he hates texting.
Saphira: No one is killing anyone.
She chimes in with the voice of reason.
Her mate, Kingston, joins the conversation.
Kingston: If they fuck with her, we all will.
Roxanne: Sally, why didn’t you call? I am your best friend.
She is one of my best friends. I have so many friends. Why should I choose just one?
River: She took them home. I’m sure she’s busy.”
He knew I would be busy.
Micah, my protector.
Micah: I don’t want to think about that.”
River: Dude, she’s a grown woman. She has sex.
Micah: Wolf, fuck off.
Marie: What are they like?
