for one day Miss Derry. Any further exertions would be detrimental to the
health of your unborn child… as would a high velocity projectile travelling
through your abdomen. Please consider this when my men open the door and enter
the room in five… four… three… two..”
    Defeated, we let the phone slip
through our fingers as half a dozen guards entered the room, their weapons
drawn. They were followed by an ugly, bald man and I immediately sensed he was
the almost-German who had been speaking. His pale complexion and sunken cheeks
almost made him look like a…
    And then another contraction hit
and the whole world exploded in a bright white light.

    “WhathehellNaziVampire!”
    I awoke with a gasp and sat bolt
upright in bed. I felt woozy. I wasn’t sure exactly where I was. Or even who I
was. I still felt the remnants of Miss Derry… Helena, rattling around in my
head.
    “Did you just say Nazi Vampire?”
    I nodded.
    There was a handsome man sitting
at the end of my bed. He spoke with a British accent. Was he with me? Alarm
bells were ringing in my head but I wasn’t sure why. Was I in a hospital? It
didn’t look like a hospital.
    “I don’t know how you… but I can
see why you’d think that. He’s actually neither. There’s no such thing as
vampires.”
    “And next you’ll be telling me
there’s no such thing as werewolves. Who are you? Where am I?”
    I instinctively reached out with
my senses, trying to read the man I was alone with. I felt something. Something
that drew me to him. He was a shifter! Like James, but not like James.
    I was embarrassed to feel my
nipples stiffening and a growing dampness between my thighs. Just for a split
second I wanted him… and then my memories came flooding back. Although I was
drawn to him it wasn’t the same as it had been with James. It felt purely
animal. Lust, but with no emotional component.
    “Wait…”
    He shifted uncomfortably on his
chair, unable to disguise an impressive, yet somewhat lewd, bulge at the crotch
of his trousers. He felt it too. This attraction. He’d felt it before… at the
club.
    “Edward? Wait… what the hell is
happening? Did you kidnap me?”
    I tried to shake the wooliness
out of my head. I was sure I’d been drugged. Drugged and kidnapped and taken to
who-knows-where.
    “Kidnapped is an ugly
word. Let’s just say I claimed you. You’re very important. More important than
you realize.”
    This was not happening .
My head was spinning and I tried to get a grip. I should have been freaking
out. I should have been screaming. But for some reason I felt
uncharacteristically calm.
    “He’ll come for me.”
    “Hmm?”
    I crossed my arms defiantly and
held Edward’s gaze with my own.
    “He’ll come for me. He’ll find
me and he’ll come for me.”
    “Oh, I’m counting on it.”
    That was not been the response I
was expecting. Edward clearly knew who I was talking about and he didn’t seem
to be impressed.
    “I doubt he’ll be here for a
while though. In the meantime, you’ll be staying here. Unless you want to…”
    “What?”
    “Oh, dinner perhaps? A walk? The
sunset through the pines is spectacular. Or if you’re not really into all that,
my room is just down the hall and we could…”
    Despite the circumstances there
was some kind of quirky charm to his clumsy advances. Maybe it was the accent.
That, combined with the way my body was responding to his presence, almost had
me considering his offer. But it was insane. The man had kidnapped me.
    “Are you kidding me?”
    He shrugged, “another time
perhaps. There’s a guard outside the door, so don’t try and escape. You’ll be
here another couple of days at least. I’ll try and find you some magazines or
something. Do you like fishing? For some reason there’s a shed out back
completely full of old fishing magazines.”
    “And then what?” The matter-of-fact
way that Edward seemed to address my captivity was beginning to grate on
