We stared at each other, then before I knew it, my pussy was slick with wet heat and my whole body hummed with a burning need.

What the fuck?

Mate material! Sy peeked out in approval, then preened as the stranger’s intense, dangerous gaze pinned us in place, as if he could see through me and sense Sy like no other could.

Woo, powerful! Sy tilted her head to study him further.

The longer I stood in his presence, the deeper my desire went. It was like my sexuality just awoke with the intensity of a thousand fucking suns. For the first time, I understood Sy’s urge, even though I had no need for sexual feeding.

He’s most delicious, isn’t he? Let’s fuck him, right here, right now, Sy urged, licking her lips. Want me to do it?

Fuck off, I told her.

She blinked. I thought you’d be over slut-shaming me now that you’ve just found a fuckable male yourself.

“Who are you?” the powerful male demanded, his deep, rich voice sending a shiver of renewed need down to my toes.

Even his voice had an effect on me. Before I knew it, I was beaming at him, my skin buzzing with pleasure at his rapt attention. Unable to help myself, I reached for him, and he let me, gazing at me expectantly, as if I was a delicious puzzle.

Before my fingertips touched his taut chest to explore him, a sudden gust of wind shuffled the trees around us and stirred up dried leaves and pine needles. A blur dashed toward me, then strong hands grabbed my shoulders possessively.

“Killian, I see that you’re stalking my new servant boy. He’s tried to run away from me twice today.” Louis swept me off my feet and tossed me over his shoulder, all in a swift move.

I’d been so captivated by Killian that I’d forgotten everything else, so now I was caught in my pursuer’s net again.

Louis shot toward the end of the woods before the stumped Killian could demand an answer. Trees and bushes blurred by as the vampire sped on, carrying me like I was precious cargo.

I couldn’t kick him since he’d grabbed my legs, so I pounded my fists into his back, but it was like hitting a giant rock and bruised only my muscles.

“Good massage, little Bob.” He chuckled. We were out of the woods and under the starlit sky. “You’ll need more training though to hit all the right spots.”

One day, I’d let Sy out to finish him off, and then we’d see if he still fancied our massage.

“You’ll regret kidnapping me, vampire!” I issued a threat.

“What if I give you a promotion in my house?” he offered.

What?

Let’s hear him out, Sy advised. We need to get a foot in the door here. This is a good place for us. If we aren’t happy, we can always run.

I stopped punching the vampire. “What promotion?”

“You’ll be my squire instead of a servant,” he said. “It’s a very big promotion.”

“Does it come with good pay and decent health insurance coverage without co-pay for every visit?” I asked, intrigued.

Not that I needed any health coverage, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t being taken advantage of. I didn’t want my new boss to be a cheap scumbag like some human employers.

“That can be arranged.” But his voice was laced with disdain, as if talking about money was beneath him.

“Why squire? You aren’t a knight, and you certainly don’t look like one, sir.”

“I’m a prince!” He sounded offended.

“So, you want me to carry your shield, accompany you to tournaments, and ensure your honorable burial if you’re killed?”

“Your most important duty is to provide me with nutrition,” he hissed.
