To Tame a Beast book 2

Beastly

There was no getting around it. I could not deny Julius, he was right as usual. I grabbed the papers from the counter, wiping the tears from my eyes and clearing my throat. I was going to have to call them out on this. I could not just allow them to live in my home clear and free of the mess that they created.

"I don't understand. If they were going to kill me then why haven't they?"

"I am not too sure why..." He was cut off by a voice all too familiar.

"I was trying to tell you out there at the picnic. I was going to tell you about both Mark and myself. We were young and not in control of our actions. It took us a while just to be able to be around people. "

I turned looking into the deep green eyes I had come to love. Was I a magnet for this kind of relationship? First Julius and now Logan? Kat? She had been parading around with mark. She was in danger. As if Logan read my thoughts he shook his head.

"Kat is perfectly fine.... It was mark who helped me to gain control. After that woman changed us, she left and never came back.... We had to figure out what horrible beasts we were on our own. We would lose control over the smallest drop of blood and now.... Well, Liz you cut your hand that one time and I was scared as hell... but I think because it was you and because mark helped me I didn't lose it. I am better.... Mark is better."

I looked at Logan unsure of what to believe. I was going to speak up but I couldn't find my voice. All I could do was feel relief. He wasn't truly a brutal murderer. I moved before I could stop myself. The feel of his skin on mine did not feel like ice but fire. It was not the same as when Julius would hold me in his arms. I loved Logan but did I love him enough? As I pulled away from him his eyes shown remorse and sorrow.

"I need a moment with Julius..... a moment alone."

With a nod, Logan began up the stairs. I watched as he retreated into the darkness. How was it that my life would come crashing down in only one day? How? I looked to Julius and got my answer. He was trouble and would always be trouble.

"Take a walk with me..." I began out the door before he could say anything.

I let my feet drag a bit as I made my way to the barn, flipping on the music box and the large fan. I knew all too well about a vampires hearing. Letting Mark and Logan hear what I had to say was not an option... hell I didn't even know what I wanted to say much less what I was going to do with the two little baby vampires that went on a murdering spree.

I leaned against the wall of the horse stall and sighed. What was I going to do?

"You can't turn them in.... people would find out about them and humans would be back on the hunt. We live in somewhat of peace at the moment. Whoever that woman was that turned them .... She broke about a million rules. They didn't have control and I have to say it wasn't their fault." I never thought I would hear Julius stick up for someone... He was just full of surprises today.

"I know that!" I snapped and looked up. It was a mistake to look up into the stormy blue eyes that could make me give in a wrap my arms around him. I was caught in their pull. I had nowhere to run....

"Liz look... I am not saying they have to stay here but... I am saying that you are going to need to make a decision. "

"There is no decision to be made... I have made up my mind."

"Well that was fast... come back with me. Home, come home." He was now standing in front of me. He was so close I could smell him, his body heat radiating off of him... but he wasn't touching me.

"Have you lost your mind?" My voice was soft as all I could think about was his lip on mine.... His body against mine.

"When it comes to you.... I have no logic. You make me crazy and all I can do is let you because ...." He paused, the three words that threatened to leave his lips caused my heart to start racing. Why did he do this to me? Why did he make my world stop?

"Julius...." My words were breathless and almost a whisper. I did not even recognize my own voice. It was needy and hot. The memory of that night flashed in my head. Every detail from the way he tasted to the way he felt inside of me.

I knew he could see the need in my eyes; his eyes were just as loud with need. His body rigged from holding himself back. He was trying to be this gentleman when I knew the true beast within. My lips parted ever so slightly, my back arched just enough to cause our chest to touch. That was all he needed to lose all control over himself.

That beautiful beast came at me.... His mouth cashed to mine in a heated rage.
