to face her. “I was a knight under King Edward III.”
    “Wow! How interesting. It must be amazing to see a world so different than the one you were born to.”
    “It was so long ago. Most of it doesn’t even seem real anymore.” Again he was quiet, lost in his memories.
    “What was your name then?” she wanted to know.
    Suddenly his face brightened and he smiled. “Sir Jonathan of Lincolnshire … at your service, my lady.”
    Nicole laughed. “A knight … a real knight. That’s awesome!”
    She was seeing a side of Alec, she felt few people had ever seen. “You must have been a noble and fierce knight.”
    “Not fierce enough, I’m afraid.” His mood turned somber. “I searched for the answers for centuries … there are none.”
    Nicole put her hand on his shoulder. “Maybe you were not searching in the right place?”
    Alec stopped suddenly and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her so close that her body melded with his. “Tell me Nicole … are you afraid of me? Do you trust me?”
    Nicole’s heart was pounding furiously, as it did whenever he touched her. “Yes and yes.”
    His velvet-smooth laughter was so dark - yet so wonderful. “Hold on,” he told her.
    She put her arms around his neck and rested her head against his chest. Suddenly the ground was no longer beneath her feet. They were moving through the night so fast that they seemed to be riding the wind. Never had she known such exhilaration, or such a feeling of pure freedom.
     
     
     

Chapter Five
     
    Flying high above the city - the lights of New Orleans seemed magical. With the moon and a blanket of stars as their backdrop, Nicole flew through the night in the arms of an Immortal. They stopped moving, but still they were floating somewhere between heaven and earth. 
    Alec’s lips were on hers - his tongue forcing its way into her mouth. She relented, allowing herself to get caught up in his hunger.
    Nicole eagerly returned his kiss. Even when she felt his fangs with her tongue, she did not pull away. The thrill of exploring the night in such a way - was second only to being in his arms. 
    Could she be falling in love with a vampire?
    She thought about how crazy her situation was, but only for a moment. Nothing seemed important anymore - nothing but being in his embrace. Nicole had finally come to accept that she wanted him, even more than she wanted to breathe.
    They slowly began to descend.
    “Let me love you Nicole,” he whispered in her ear.
    Tilting her head back, she gazed into his eyes and felt herself falling into that place of no return. They again came together in a searing kiss of need - a need that transcended the cravings of the flesh. In that moment, Nicole knew she was exactly where she should be.
    They came down on a soft blanket of grass. Alec slid his hand over her - caressing her, as he removed her shirt and bra - exposing her soft mounds to his hungry eyes. His mouth was on her flesh and she felt an explosion of mind-numbing need course through her body. The pain of his fangs piercing her skin finally pushed her over the edge. She had to have him. There was no way she could deny her desire any longer.
    “Alec … I want you,” she gasped. She needed to feel him possessing her - fulfilling her aching need.
    He lifted his head to peer into her eyes. “You are so warm … so beautiful my sweet Nicole.”
    “Alec … I want to be with you … always. I want you to give me your blood.” She didn’t even know where the thought had come from - only that she was running on pure need.
    Her body needed his touch, but her soul needed him. Nicole could not catch her breath. She was being consumed by something she couldn’t even begin to understand. A longing that she must satisfy at all costs.
    He froze suddenly.
    A chill settled between them and he pulled away. Nicole was left lying in the grass - desperately wanting him to put out the fire that was now out of control.
    “You don’t know what you are
