back around.
    “Why, what?” Giselle quipped.
    Jesus, she was a goddamned infuriating person. She’d love to chip away at that outer layer to see if blood really flowed beneath her flesh or if it was a slushy frosty mixture that fueled her constant rage instead.
    “Why are you willing to help me now?”
    “Let’s just say it’s mutually beneficial and leave it at that,” she said, turning to leave.
    “How is this beneficial for you, Giselle? I have nothing to give you,” she called after her. If she thought Sarah would pay her back with something, she was sorely mistaken. She didn’t have a penny to her name or anything else of value to barter with.
    Giselle stopped and turned back around. “Do you want my help or not?”
    “Yes.” But at what cost, was the burning question.
    “Then you should just say thank you,” she replied, eyes singeing her in unspoken challenge.
    “Thank you.”
    And with that, Giselle turned once again and strode out, leaving Sarah to wonder what in the hell just happened and how Giselle had gained the upper hand so damn fast.
    As far as Sarah knew, Giselle didn’t do anything for you ; she did it for herself . So Giselle’s sudden interest in helping Sarah had her wondering. How exactly did this benefit Giselle? Sarah was quite sure the ice queen wasn’t doing this for anyone but herself.
     
     

Chapter 6
     
    Rom
     
     
    This was the longest meeting he’d ever been party to. Since Rom had been the one to interrogate Geoffrey, due to Damian’s propensity to burn his captives alive if he didn’t care for their answer, and Dev’s desire to torture Geoffrey indefinitely, he was the only one now privy to the facts. And the facts certainly led one to believe that Geoffrey was not exactly the traitorous vampire they’d all suspected him to be.
    Instead of sitting here, discussing what to do with Geoffrey and Xavier, the only thing Rom wanted to do was claim his mate, return to his home and spend the next month fucking her in every position, in every room, in every way. His sexual appetite had returned with a vengeance the moment he’d laid eyes on Sarah and it hadn’t subsided one iota in a week.
    Unlike many vampires, since the loss of his Moira, he didn’t frequently partake in sexual activity when feeding. Of course, he had imbibed over his long life, but it wasn’t an itch he needed scratched often. Even though he’d indicated otherwise, he hadn’t actually taken any of the women at Dragonfly. Damian had good intentions, so a little harmless white lie to throw him off track wouldn’t hurt anybody.
    Now, however, his rock hard erection hadn’t abated in days. And it wouldn’t until it was buried deep inside Sarah’s hot, wet and willing sweet little body. The connection between them was already so powerful, he could feel her somewhere in the main house and he had only one singular focus. To make her his . He was discreetly adjusting himself when Dev asked him to repeat himself.
    “You need to go over this again, Rom, because I’m just not fucking getting it. Are you trying to convince us that Geoffrey has been helping us all along? And that he was kidnapped as a baby from my village that Xavier burned to the ground and raised to be a sadistic, unfeeling killing machine, but now he’s suddenly grown a conscience and wants to be redeemed by the lords?”
    Jesus. Fucking. Christ. His excruciatingly thin patience was ready to snap like a taut rubber band.
    “Make no mistake. He’s done vile and inhumane things, inexcusable things, but what I’m saying is that the underlying reasons are not what we’d originally thought.”
    He sighed, continuing, “Yes, he’s grown up with Xavier and was unaware of his true origin until a decade ago when he overheard Xavier bragging to some new recruits about how he’d slaughtered his entire village, with the exception of yourself, Dev, and a few babies he’d spared to start his army. It was a story he’d told often, but in
