Rhett leaned over and placed a soft kiss on top of our baby’s head “Just like her mother.”
She’s so tiny, so fragile, and so different from the rest of us. Her cream colored skin and dark brown hair were a mirror image of what Rhett looked like before I turned him. She’s not completely human and not completely vampire. She has developed characteristics of both kinds just like Luna.
We all thought Luna was one of a kind, but apparently she isn’t. Although Luna was special because she was conceived naturally, we have come to find out there are many, many other female vampires giving birth to babies, well, half-breeds.
The information we found at the lab that day has been crucial to our investigation and we are getting closer and closer to finding more of our kind, but doing so was not an easy task since others seem to be hiding from the Hunters as well.
We still haven’t found out who The Dark One is yet. He or she made it a point not to leave a trail leading back to him, or her. Keira works tirelessly to uncover new information every day. She even hired an IT guy to help her do some more analyzing. Of course he doesn’t know why we need this information, but he was the only one willing to help us with no questions asked.
Jesse Cooper, or “Coop” as we all know him by, is covered in tattoos and has several piercings on his face. There’s one in his eyebrow, one in his lip, and several in his ear. He looks nothing like a nerdy computer guy should look like, but Keira said and I quote, “If I have to be stuck in the office all day doing work, I might as well enjoy the view of a hot guy to pass the time." That’s Keira, always looking at the bigger picture and the brighter side of things.
I was about to put the baby back in her bassinet when Keira walked in with Jesse following behind her. We usually leave the door open unless we want privacy. We have never had a baby in the coven before and the girls love spending time with her.
Jesse also has a weakness for the baby. He was already working here when I gave birth to her and in the few months he’s been here he has become a fast friend to us all. He passed Keira on the way in, holding out his arms to me. “Where is my beautiful little girl?” She looked so tiny in his big muscled arms, but I know she’s safe with him and so does Rhett.
“Aren’t you afraid you’ll ruin your bad boy image holding a baby and making those cutesy noises at her?" Rhett asked jokingly.
Jesse looked down at Ava for a fraction of a second, then turned back to Rhett. “Nope.”
Jesse told us he came from a broken home. His mother died when he was a baby and his father was too busy chasing women to take care for his own son, so he handed Jesse over to children’s services.
I can’t imagine how someone could do that to their own flesh and blood. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have Ava in my life. Having that baby was the best thing that ever happened to me, besides Rhett of course because without him there would be no family for me.
Keira pleaded behind Jesse. “Can I get a turn holding the baby please?”
Jesse peered down at Ava sleeping in his arms and looked over his shoulder. “Maybe later.”
Both Rhett and I laughed as we watched him hand the baby over to Keira. We have been so lucky to have so much support surrounding us and I have a really good feeling that Jesse will be a part of the family soon.
“Is it my turn with the baby yet?” Noah called from the doorway.
I turned to Rhett as I pointed at Noah. “Doesn’t anyone come to see us anymore?”
Rhett shrugged and nodded over to the three of them hovering over Ava making cooing sounds. “I don’t think so.” His smile melted my heart. It has made me beyond happy that I could give him such a beautiful gift that he completely adores.
He held out his hand and pulled me into his arms, squeezing me lightly. “Maybe Auntie Keira and Uncle Jesse would like to babysit for a while so I can have some time alone with my sweet cheeks.”
I squeaked when I felt his hand lower to my ass in front of everyone. “Stop Rhett.”
“That’s not what you said last night. In fact…”
My hand slammed against his mouth. “Don’t start.”
“You guys are so gross, get a room.” Keira pretended to cover Ava’s ears. “There are little ears here.”
Rhett pointed at Keira. “We do have a room, but you’re always in it.”
They both stuck their tongues out at each other and I was left feeling as if there were more than one child in the room. “Enough you two. Noah where’s Caressa?”
“She’s in the office finishing up the inventory. She said she would be here soon.”
“Do you think you and Caressa can take Ava for a little while so we can take a nap please ?” It was very odd that I had been so tired because I was a vampire and shouldn’t be at all, but I was and desperately needed some rest.
“Sure. We don’t mind.” Noah was about to take the baby from Keira, but she turned around so Noah couldn’t reach her.
“No, I want her.” With Keira pouting Noah couldn't refuse her. He was such a wuss; a good man, but a wuss when it came to any of us, which only showed us how much he really cared.
Jesse took Ava out of Keira’s arms and placed her on his chest. “Yeah, we can take her Gia.”
“We?” Both Rhett and I said simultaneously while glancing over at Keira and Jesse.
“Shut up.” Keira grabbed the bag of diapers and a few bottles and began to walk toward the door.
I followed close behind and pushed all three of them out of the room. “Fight over the baby outside and don’t come back for at least three hours.” I slammed the door and could still hear them arguing down the hall over who was going to take care of the baby for the next few hours.
Rhett closed the distance between us before I even turned around. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m going to go take a nap.”
“The Hell you are.” He grabbed my shirt and lifted it over my head, uncovering my bare breasts. His hands slid down my hips, bringing my pants down with them.
“Rhett what are you doing?”
“First, I’m going to lick every inch of you. Then I’m going to fuck you up against this door until I hear her scream my name over and over…” He took the hardened peak of my breast in his mouth and sucked it hard before letting go with an audible pop. “And over again.”
My feet were lifted out of the pants that were now pooled on the floor. His tongue skillfully mapped its way up my thigh, then glided between my slick folds. He made slow, sensuous circles over the swollen bundle of nerves, torturing me with exquisite pleasure. I was so close, so very close to reaching that point of ecstasy only he could bring me to.
My knees buckled under me as he palmed one of my breasts to hold me in place. With a few hard strokes of his tongue I came undone. I shuddered as my release coated his glorious mouth and my body shattered into a million pieces. My voice was barely a whisper when I said his name. “Rhett.”
He stood, driving himself into me so hard I thought the wood behind me was going to splinter. “I can’t hear you sweet cheeks. Louder.”
He slammed into me over and over, harder and harder until I gave him what he wanted. “God, yes Rhett!”
“That’s my girl.”
