vanished.
    Jaymes inhaled a deep breath and caught a lingering faint scent of Satin. His cock swelled and pulsed with eagerness. His headache dissipated as his anticipation rose. Soon they would have Satin. Then they would make her pay for leaving them the way she had. Her punishment was something he’d been waiting for half a century. He could hardly wait.

    Lisbeth wandered back and forth in front of her living room window of her final destination—her luxury home nestled on a veiled island just twenty miles west of the Gulf Islands off the British Columbia coast. Ordinarily she would be standing outside on the extravagant wood deck beside her outdoor gas fireplace, sipping on some synthetic blood. She’d be admiring the tall pine trees, the green grass hugging the rocky shores and the sparkling dark-blue ocean with the pink and pale-blue clouds in the evening sky. But after a day of materializing and dematerializing, she was exhausted. Yet, due to her increasing nervousness, she simply could not do anything but pace and think about her three ex-lovers who were surely on her trail.
    She owned several homes throughout the world. And she’d traveled to each and every one of them, stayed for an hour to rest before traveling to the next. Because of the scent disguiser she’d taken earlier, it would be near to impossible for anyone to follow, but her males were good at tracking. They would keep searching for her.
    If it was just the three males coming for her, she could handle it. She would love it. But because they were slaves to the Queen, Lisbeth dared not trust them. Ever. The fact that they were hunting her meant the Queen must still have a hefty bounty on her head. Or maybe…
    Lisbeth held her breath as hope flared. Maybe they were coming just to be with her? Had they perhaps escaped slavery as she had done?
    She shook her head and hugged herself. No, they didn’t have the help available when she’d had the opportunity to escape. She hadn’t been with a male since she’d been with them—all three of them at the same time.
    For over the last half-century she’d taken care of her sexual needs on her own. It had never been enough, but she’d accepted that in her new life in Vampira the need for sexual fulfillment would be out of her reach.
    Outside, the sky grew dim. She slid open her patio doors and stepped outside. The early July air was cool against her bare arms and she shivered. But she needed the fresh air to help keep her awake.
    Out across the bay seagulls swooped low over the ocean waves to catch their supper of fish. In the water, several white swans leisurely swam. Such a serene sight. She just wished she could calm down and enjoy the view but Zeena’s descriptions of the three males kept racing through Lisbeth’s thoughts. It was as if she was reliving her past over and over again. Hearing their voices calling out her name as they orgasmed inside her, one after another.
    Lisbeth’s breaths quickened as her body tensed with awareness. Three males having sex with her. All at the same time. They’d been such sexual vampires, using any excuse to get into bed with her. Yet her bed had been in a slave quarters area of Queen Crimson’s mountain palace. Windows and doors had been barred.
    But Lisbeth had defied the Queen by accepting help from an unlikely source and then she had hidden in the human world. She should have remembered that no one got away with disobeying the Queen. Ever.
    Oh sweet vampires ! She would never be at peace, would she? She’d had a good run of it though, making herself believe she was free.
    From the corner of her eye, a flash of red caught her attention and Lisbeth froze. A lone crimson rose lay on her wooden bench. Had it fallen from her rose bush that was on the other side of her house? Or had the males placed it there? Memories zipped through her mind again. Of her males lavishing her with crimson roses, knowing it was her favorite type of flower.
    The air
