by U
dress.
Dalton lifted his head, Casey's blood dripping down his chin. "You
would kill yourself for this useless piece of shit?"
Paige ignored his comment and pleaded with Casey to take what
she was offering.
Dalton rushed around and pulled her away. "You mean to say you
will choose this punk over me? You are going to give up on our
marriage?"
That tactic would have worked on her before, but now it just pissed
her off. "Are you freaking nuts? Me give up on our marriage? You
made that choice when you slept with that slut and allowed her to turn
you!". Jerking away she turned back to Casey. Dalton grabbed her
shoulder, spun her around and punched her in the face, knocking her
to the ground.
Casey fought against his chains. "Stop!" he glared at Artur. "I will
do it, make him stop!"
With that, Artur snapped his fingers.
Dalton fought for control, trying to go after her but Artur's power
over him was too strong. His body became rigid and he was no longer
in control of his own motions. Dalton ceased moving towards Paige
and was forced to step away.
Paige ignored the blood running down her face where Dalton had
split her cheek and ran back up to Casey. She felt weak and ready to
pass out from the blood loss. Lifting her arm, she placed the wound
against his mouth. Her eyes met his, pleading with him. "Please
Casey. Please don't make me regret trusting and loving you."
Twin tears slipped down his cheeks, his fangs emerged. Closing
his eyes, he allowed his fang to sink into the cut. Paige winced at the
pain, but refused to cry out, or stop looking at him. She heard his
shackles being unlocked and he pulled away from her arm. Rosa
stood behind her, supporting her from behind so she didn't fall.

She felt faint and had the sensation of falling. She expected to hit
the floor, instead was swept up into strong arms. Her eyes fluttered
and she would have sworn that Casey carried her.
A silly smile slipped across her lips when she heard him growl at
Dalton. "You ever lay one finger on her again I will kill you. In fact,
if I ever see or hear that you have come anywhere near her, you'll
wish you were dead by the time I'm done with you!"
Her head dropped against his chest and she didn't hear anything
further, she fainted in his arms.

CHAPTER SEVEN
Paige lay on the bed and stretched. She was awakened by kisses
along her neck. "Hmmmm." She enjoyed the feel of his lips and
tongue. Rolling towards him, her finger found and began circling a
taunt nipple that stood at attention for her. She laughed softly and
opened her eyes to the soft blue eyes looking down at her.
His face showed emotions she felt.
His lips covered hers lazily and he pulled her over on top of him,
his erection hard against her stomach while their tongues danced
across one another. Paige giggled when he flipped her quickly and
then he was on top of her, his knee nudging her thighs apart. The
images of him thrusting inside of her and going at it flitted across her
mind and she couldn't help but think of Dalton.
Casey tensed and stilled above her. Paige opened her eyes. "Please
don't ever think I am going to treat you as harshly as that prick did."
"I'm sorry, it's just hard for me to change my way of thinking after
years and years of being subjected to what I now realize was his
abuse." Paige stared at him, knowing she had offended him.
"Well you." He kissed her collar bone. "Need to." His lip latched
onto her nipple and he suckled one, then the other. "Remember." His
tongue circled her belly button. "You are." He kissed the soft skin at
the juncture of her thigh. "With me now." His tongue delved between
her lips and moved gently across the hard bud he found there. "And I
take care of you." His finger slid inside of her and his tongue
continued flicking back and forth across her clit.
"If this is how you remind me." Paige spread her legs and allowed
him full access. "Then I may just have to be a slow learner." She felt
the vibration of his laughter and smiled.
"I am a patient teacher." Casey told her, nipping and sucking on her
until he had her squirming, calling out his name.
When he leaned back, Paige moved quickly and shoved him onto
his back. Straddling his hips, she slid herself down onto him and they
groaned in unison.
105
Being turned into a vampire, Paige found her body strong and toned
and she was horny all the time. Now she understood why Rosa was
so sexual.
Casey read her mind. "She is sexual, but you are damned sexy in
my eyes."
Paige grinned. "Well, you make me feel that way." She rotated her
hips, grinding herself against him. Rocking on his hard cock deep
inside her, her head fell back and her hands came up, holding the
weight of her full breasts, her fingers pinched her own nipples.
Then she felt his finger in between her legs and she looked down
into his eyes. He flicked her clit and her rhythm pick up speed. A
smile of pure satisfaction on his face, he watched her ride him.
Knowing he would be ready any time she was, he didn't hold back.
Paige loved the feel of him swelling inside of her. Her pussy clamped
down and they both sought their release.
Paige lay on top of his chest. "You know, you have the most
beautiful eyes I have ever seen."
"And you my lady are the most beautiful person I have ever seen,
inside and out." Casey ran the knuckle of his finger along the skin of
cheek bone that had healed perfectly. "I know our relationship started
off quick, but I wouldn't change it for the world and know, that you
are the only one for me. I will never ever stray."
Tears filled her eyes and she nodded. He understood how betrayed
she had felt. Breathing deeply she blinked away the tears. "You were
willing to sacrifice your life for me. I have never had someone love
me that deeply. When I saw what they were doing to you, I was
heartbroken, then just pissed that he would try to destroy you."
She raised her hand and touched his neck where Dalton had tried to
drain his life blood from him. "I will never forgive him for what he
tried to do to you, and he will never hurt me again."
"After the whippings he took from pissing off the Sire by striking
you and fighting to keep going after you, I don't think he will come
within a hundred miles of you. Plus, he knows I will shred him into
tiny pieces and feed them to that bitch if she ever tries to attack you
again."
106
Paige laughed at the thought. "Well, now that you have taught me
a few things about being a vampire, I have a feeling I can hold my
own with her."
Casey smiled, his fingers tracing patterns on her skin. "Yeah, you
are a fast learner."
Paige grinned. "Well, there are just some things I am good at."
With that, she slowly inched her way down the front of him and he
sprang to life i
nstantly in her hands. "I think I am going to enjoy this.
Sex any time I want it."
He moved quickly and pinned her shoulders to the bed. "We make
love, sweets, not just have sex."
When his mouth lifted from hers she smiled brightly. "It looks like
we won't be leaving the bed any time soon." Paige lifted her head and
bit his lower lip gently. "Remember, I'm a slow learner when it comes
to this, so you will have to teach me some more."
Laughing, he kissed her again.
"Casey, I do have a few questions though." Paige frowned slightly.
"How did you convince Artur to forego the rules? I thought it was set
in stone that a human had to convince five people to be changed?" She
wasn't quite used to calling him Sire yet.
"I met Rosa through my sister, and stop glaring at me like that. I
didn't sleep with Rosa." Casey grinned at her jealousy. "My sister had
cancer and was about to die. Rosa was helping her to change. I
figured out what was happening. My sister was too weak to try to
persuade her fifth person, so I volunteered. Rosa took me to Artur
and I guess he liked me or something. That's why he allowed me to
try to save you."
Paige stared at Casey. He was truly a knight in shining armor, out
to save the world and heard him laugh when he heard what she was
thinking.
"You will learn to read my thoughts soon enough." He nudged her
with his shoulder. "Give it time. It's only been two days since you
were changed."
"So if you can read my every thought, then why haven't you told
me all this before now?"
107
"Because we still need to talk, I want you to know that I will
always listen to you."
"Then tell me. Have you persuaded me? Is that what made me fall
for you so fast? Are you sure this isn't some long drawn out dream or
me in a psych ward somewhere?"
When he stopped laughing he answered her. "No, this is not a
dream. No, you are not in a psych ward." He chuckled again then
became serious. "And no, I never persuaded you. I wanted you to
come to me willingly and I refused to allow you to die, to become a
vampire just to be with me." Casey shook his head and told her
honestly. "When you cut yourself like that, I thought my heart was
going to stop I was so afraid for you."
"Well, you were willing to die for me Casey. That is the ultimate
sacrifice and I love you for that."
The dimples appeared in his cheeks and she smiled at seeing them.
When those appeared, she knew he was genuinely happy. "I love you
too Paige."
"And that is something I will never forget." Paige watched her
finger slide along the dimple, a smile still on her face.
"That is something I will never let you forget." Casey sealed his
promise with a kiss.
