WARNING: THIS CHAPTER HAS A SEXUALLY EXPLICIT SCENE AND IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 16!

The conversation went on for what to her seemed like hours, most of the tea she had boiled was gone and both of them sat on the lounge quite close together for her own comfort. Victoria listened to him describe his home and what the customs of his coven were like as well as the vast amounts of food they would eat, explaining how vampires should only feed at least seven times a year. Victoria then began to explain how she had to feed a bit more than normal because her body react to the plasma in non-artificial blood from humans, but animals were okay because of the different proteins that gave her less of a reaction.

After an extensive conversation that went on for hours, Troy began to fall asleep on the lounge beside her while she watched the fire slowly die out. She went to stand up to go to the bathroom only to have her arm grasped onto by Troy. She placed her hand on his and told him to go to her bed and that he could sleep there tonight and she will organise his own quarters tomorrow, when he nodded and went to bed she went to the bathroom and come back out to see Troy had stripped himself of all of his clothes and climbed into the bed without pulling the covers over. Her initial reaction was to close her eyes and turn away but she paused, looking at his lean, muscular, defined... Victoria shook her head and sighed, what was she thinking? They had only just met and already she wanted to bite into that delicious neck of his. She slapped herself this time and slipped into her night gown, then climbed into bed with Troy and pulled the covers over them both before slipping into a long needed sleep.

Victoria was the first to wake up with a slight jump, not expecting Troy to move over and wrap his arms around her. She didn't want to disturb him, and his arm did feel natural there so she let him be, turning over and facing him to study him more. She waited, and he didn't stir, not even so much as miss a breath. He did look handsome in his sleep with his tussled hair and flawless complexion, and his lips, she wanted to feel her own upon his and almost gave in when she saw he had opened his eyes.

"I don't like it when people gawk at me. But for some reason when you do it, it doesn't bother me." Troy chuckled softly and pulled her close to him in an embrace, thinking that he had made it somewhere with her only to have it all crashing down when she pushed him away.

"Don't make a habit of sleeping in here, especially naked." Victoria gave him a stern look, knowing he had a full case of the morning wood and it stood out, quite largely, against the covers that covered it. He looked at her with a sombre expression before he smiled softly, accepting her need for personal space.

"Alright my dear, no sleeping in here naked often and give you some personal space. Would there be anything else?" Victoria slapped him across the face at his snarky comment and told him to get out. Not knowing what he did wrong he stepped out of the bed, got dressed and walked out into the hall and towards the dining room where breakfast was being served. Victoria was pacing angrily around her study, having a conversation with herself.

"Can you believe the nerve of that guy? Calling ME dear!? LET ALONE HIS!!!! His beautiful face and amazing body is just... well... UGH!" she kicked the leg of the desk and immediately regretted it when she felt the searing pain of her foot rise up through her leg. A knock on the door was heard and she walked over, probably someone wanting to bring her breakfast. When she opened the door, she could swear her stomach dropped when she saw the sight of Troy standing there in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt.

"Oh... it's you." Victoria looked at him with disinterest and he just smiled coyly, little did they know that Alistair was walking up the hall to bring her breakfast and stopped when he heard voices.

"Hey don't be like that; I thought that you knew..."

"Oh I know. But I have other interests than marrying you got it? So don't think that you can come here to my home and instantly play husband with me. It doesn't work like that!" She slammed the door in his face and pressed her back against his, fine tuning her hearing to what was going on outside.
