The Vampire And Her Human Mate

2| All work and no fun

Bianca was bored. No wait, annoyed. No wait, both. She hated that she had to attend these dumb events. It felt like there was one every other week. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but it felt like it. And this was in another damn continent. She hated having to adjust to new time zones. She hated a lot of things.

Sighing, she straightened her spine and stepped out of the car. Her chauffeur held a hand out to help her. She didn't take it.

She could feel the appreciating glances she was getting from the guests of the hotel as she walked through the lobby. She knew she was hot. She was tall and leggy, her platinum blonde hair short in a shattered bob. Her eyes were naturally red, but she wore blue contacts when around humans.

She gave no one a glance as she walked through the hotel the event was being held in. She had an impressive resting bitch face. Beautiful and cruel. She walked confidently, knowing the way she needed to go. She had studied the floor plans, like she always did when going somewhere new.

She was as fashionably late as she thought she could get away with, so there were not many party goers outside the room. A short woman hastily opened the door for her, giving a welcome greeting. Urg, humans, she thought. Her nose wrinkled in disgust.

She had only taken a few steps in when she smelt it.

Here? Now? She thought incredulously. Her head whipped around, trying to stay calm as she scanned the room. There were too many people. She was just getting a vague direction. There were also too many damn humans around, messing up the smell, it was like it mingled into her mates scent.

"Bella Bianca, my pet!" Bianca's, let's say boss, called. Cordon was her age in appearance, though was actually much much older. He was attractive in that kind of way where you wanted to punch him in the face. At least that's what Bianca always wanted to do.

Bianca forced a smile, bowing slightly. "Evening sir."

"I thought you weren't going to show." His voice was light but she saw the fury in his eyes, even with the green contacts he wore. Okay, maybe she was later than she should have been.

"Have I ever disappointed you, Cordy?" She asked, jutting her hip a bit with her stance. She loved to push his buttons.

His eyes traveled up and down her body and she tried not to show how disgusted he made her.

"Come," he ordered, "I need you to meet your next assignment."

She followed him into the throng of people, trying to covertly sniff out her mate. Where were they? This wasn't really the most opportune time to find them, but hey, when in Rome.

And why hadn't they sniffed her out yet? Her mate's smell was amazing, it was like if a rainforest and a bakery had a sick little love child. Earthy and sweet.

"Mr Tannon, let me introduce Bianca Larsen. She will be joining you for your project."

The older man was round and balding. Human. Weird. She didn't usually get assignments for humans. He must have something Cordon wants real bad.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Tannon." She nodded in greeting. His gaze made the same journey as Cordons, and she tried not to roll her eyes. Every person here has done it. She looked fine. She was wearing a fitted black pencil skirted dress. It was sleeveless but had a high neck - the bodice was cut in a way that achieved fashion and form, with blocked sections. Her heels were black patent leather with red soles.

They exchanged pleasantries and confirmed the details of when and where she needed to be. France and by Sunday. There were no discussions on the details - that wouldn't be for public consumption.
