“Oh no. That isn’t going to happen.”
“But I told you I have no more interest in killing you,” he says, hurt.
“And I while I’m not sure I believe you; I’m not scared of you. You, however, should be scared of me.”
“Listen to what I have to say to you and if you still want to kill me after that, then by all means.”
“There is no way that CK will allow you anywhere near me.”
“CK? The jealous lover? Hm, find a way. When will you be back in New York?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” I say mutinously.
“I could find out for myself, you know. It’s just easier if you tell me.”
“I won’t be back for a few more days. I have business to attend to.”
“In Toronto?”
“No.”
“You are exasperating,” he sighs.
“So I’ve been told.”
“I will always find you, Mrs. O’Dell. My reach is very far.”
“Catch me if you can then,” I say and hang up.
I’m inclined to believe that he won’t try to try kill me, but the fact remains he did kill a Vampire to send me a message. I also still believe he doesn’t know about Cole. I’m terribly curious about what he has to say to me that he would risk asking for a private meeting, but you know what curiosity did. I plan on setting up this meeting, even if it ends up me killing him, but I’ll keep this quiet. I will get blasted from all sides if my boys find out about this.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY
I ’m back on the jet, heading back to New York, very early on Tuesday morning, after a lingering goodbye with Cole. I miss him already and I can’t wait for this to be over so that we can go home together and start to rebuild our family.
I tell Jenna to let Jim know that I’m going to bed and to just leave me, as I won’t be getting off before the others get here. After much arguing, ending in another phone call to their boss, Phil and Ty stay with me while Tony stays behind to watch Cole. This is all getting a bit ridiculous. How much trouble can I get into alone on a private aircraft?
Ignoring the two guards, I go to the tiny bedroom, strip, and crawl into bed. It’s 4 AM and we are due to land soon. I should be seated and buckled in but it’s not like it’s going to kill me if I get thrown from the bed during landing.
My head hits the pillow and I’m flat out until I sense someone staring at me. I open my eyes and find myself staring into eyes so remarkably like my own. A type indeed. I glare at Sebastian.
“That’s just creepy,” I say, turning my back to him. “Where are CK and the others?”
“Our sire will be here anon. He is on the phone. The others came separately. Something about confined spaces and ancient Vampires.” He shrugs. “You look very peaceful when you sleep.”
Geez, this is just getting weird, everyone watching me sleep, and now I’m more convinced than ever I must look haggard and in torment while awake. Not a pleasing thought.
He trails his hand down my naked back, causing my Dragon to ripple first, in pleasure, but then something else I can’t figure out. “This is incredible,” he murmurs.
So is his touch, I think traitorously but flex my shoulders in protest. “You know he knows you’re touching me,” I say a second before he comes barging in with a thunderous look on his handsome face.
Sebastian pulls his hand back quickly. I smile and sit up, tilting my head up for a kiss.
“Hello, my sweet. Is he bothering you?”
“No. He’s harmless,” I say, chuckling at the insulted look on his face.
“You should get dressed. We are taking off soon.”
