Night Vengeance

Chapter Fifteen

Devon met them in Justin's office, he looked at Rae dressed in her black pajamas and frowned as he watched her remove her hood. "Why are you still wearing that getup? You're a vampire now, you don't need to hide behind it anymore," he said.

"I don't?" said Rae.

"No, you can manufacture clothing, anything you need just by using your mind," he explained. "Plus you can shapeshift, so no more walking or running, unless your change into a four legged critter or a flying one. Didn't Justin here tell you?" he said and his eyes widened as he looked over her shoulder to see Justin making frantic cutting motions across his neck. It dawned on him then, that he had opened his big mouth…without thinking… and he smiled sheepishly at his friend.

Rae's face closed and her eyes glittered dangerously as she slowly turned to Justin.

Devon backed away, slowly inching toward the door.

Rae turned her head and waved her hand, effectively pinning him in place. "Don't you move," she growled low then turned back to Justin.

"What does he mean I no longer need this outfit?" she asked him sweetly.

Justin's mouth opened but nothing came out, he had no idea what to say other that she looked really sexy in it. When he looked at Devon, his eyes promised, that one day his friend would be in his position, and watch out then.

Devon blanched at just that thought, "Uh…Rae…could you let me go, I need to do some work?" he asked. The look in Rae's eyes when she looked back at him, had him miming zipping his mouth shut.

Rae turned back to Justin, "Well, are you going to answer me?" she asked.

As Rae had turned to look at Devon, the material of her black pajamas had pulled tight across her chest, emphasizing her breasts. He gulped and imagined how he'd remove her outfit; kiss every inch of skin revealed.

When Rae turned back, the look in Justin's eyes intrigued her, so she merged her mind with his to find out what he was thinking. Her breath caught when she saw his hands undressing her as he kissed each square inch of skin he uncovered.

Immediately she waved her hand, unlocking the invisible restraints holding Devon in place, "Get out Devon," she growled, her eyes glued to Justin's.

Devon instantly turned to the door, "Stay, don't stay, isn't that just like a woman, can never make up their minds," he muttered as he softly closed the door behind him, leaving them alone.

The soft click of the door, startled Justin from his imaginings, and the link they were sharing severed. He looked up, only to find Devon gone, and Rae standing before him, her passionate gaze hungrily looking at him.

He cleared his throat, "Umm…Rae…" he started to say, but stopped when she stepped towards him.

"So you really think I'm sexy in this, do you?" she said as she put her arms around his neck.

"Um…I don't think we should be doing this right now Rae," he said stopping himself from grabbing her.

"You did say we'd play later," she whispered just before her lips and met his.

His arms circled her and he raised her up, crushing her to him, and kissed her back, deeply. His hands under her buttocks, Justin lifted Rae and her legs went around him, her ankles hooking together.

Justin's hands roamed over her back as Rae moved her mouth to his neck and lapped at his pulse. She felt her fangs grow and nip his skin. She licked the blood; loving the wild taste of him, it was incredible. She felt his blood flow down her throat and mingle with her own, bringing her to completion as his hands continued stroking her back, and her buttocks.

Her shaking legs slid to the floor and she looked into his eyes. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips as he looked into her flushed face.

"You did that on purpose to get out of answering my question, didn't you?" she stated as she slowly stepped away from him.

"Now wait just one minute," he said incredulous. "You started this when you kissed me. Is it my fault you're irresistible?"

Rae looked at him, "Alright, I admit I started it, but it's your fault I did. If your mind hadn't been so dirty I wouldn't have," she said, her eyes twinkling.

"You're blaming me!" he exclaimed and began stalking her a glint in his eye.

Rae backed away then turned and ran behind the desk. "You stay away from me you overgrown…Neanderthal," she said, laughing. Before he could grab her, the door opened and Devon's head appeared.

"Is it safe to come in?" he asked. He looked first at Rae, then Justin. When his friend nodded, he opened the door wider and strode in carrying a blue file folder.

He gave the folder to Justin, "Here's the route to Mr. Leeds house. It's outside the city in an isolated area. No other houses within miles," he said.

Justin opened the folder and studied the route, then passed it to Rae who came to stand next to him. His internal clock told him dawn was quickly approaching; they had just enough time to get there and do a recon, but not to get back. He didn't relish the thought of taking Rae there, and then sleep unprotected.

"We'll leave on the next rising," he told them. Rae's eyes widened, as did Devon's in surprise.

"Why can't we leave now?" Rae asked.

"It's too close to dawn to get there and then come back," he said.

"We don't have to come back," she argued. "We can sleep in the earth anywhere, so why not find a nice safe spot and sleep there?"

Justin shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest. "That is too dangerous," he said. "There are bound to be guards up and I wouldn't have time to take them down before the sun rose. Besides, I don't want you sleeping anywhere he is near," he stated.

Rae looked at Devon for support; surely he would be on her side. Devon looked back at her and smiled weakly. He raised his hands as if in surrender and shook his head. "I am not participating in this discussion. Just think of me as Switzerland, I'm neutral," he said and left the room.

Frustrated, Rae turned back to Justin and stared at him. His face was completely closed; she couldn't read a thing on it, she merged her mind with his, and finally understood. He was afraid she would be hurt in some way. Afraid Salazar would get her while they slept. Her heart melted, she raised her hand and laid it on his cheek. "Okay, we'll go on the next rising," she said softly. "So what do you wan to do in the meantime?" she asked as she looped her arms around his neck and began kissing his throat.
