urging, something inside her snapped and the urgency of freedom wound so tightly through her, it felt like a noose around her neck. She knew if she didn’t get out of here now, she would start screaming in angst.
    She backed out of the cell, turned from him, stumbled down the rest of the hallway and pushed through the open doorway.
    I am free. She praised herself and stepped outside the cave into the fresh, sweet-smelling air. Before she knew what was happening, she was running and the huge mountains towered all around her. Cold air slapped against her. But she smelled the freedom. And its scent made her heady. Made her stumble over the rocks and into the valley of the dark forest nearby.
    Yes, she was free.
    Free.

    Mati awoke to that powerful word slamming through her senses like a sledgehammer.
    Freedom .
    Sweet vampire! She had been free from the moment she escaped that cave hidden in the Dolomite mountains. She had been free all this time.
    Free to love.
    Why had she run from it? Why hadn’t she seized such a simple concept?
    Being alone, being lonely, was not freedom. At least not for her. It was hell. Had been hell for decades.
    There was something else she realized too.
    Paolo and Gio had not come to interrupt her nightmares as they had been doing every night since reestablishing their mind link. Except tonight. Tonight, they hadn’t come.
    For months they had been saving her from the dreams. Saving her with their mind sex. Rescuing her from the fear that ate her alive every time she slept.
    But now another kind of fear washed over her. It melded and twisted into a guilt she could barely stand. Did they know she had come to the Vamp’s Bordella? Did they know she had taken pleasure from other males? That she had betrayed them? Had they come to her while she’d slept and somehow discovered her betrayal of them?
    What if they never came to her again? That last question devastated her. Oh sweet vampire! What had she done?
    Anxiety screamed through her as she tossed aside the sheet and scrambled from the massage table. Ignoring the pleasant soreness between her thighs—soreness the pleasurers left, compliments of their impressive cocks—she began collecting her clothing.
    She needed to get out of here before they came back. She needed to find a way to connect with Paolo and Gio. To confess her physical affair. To tell them she loved them and wanted them to come for her.
    Feeling flustered and off balance, Mati could barely dress. Immense relief spilled when she dematerialized and then rematerialized out in the empty parking lot of the bordella. Although she was vampire and could dematerialize and dematerialize at will, she made it a point to never allow a human to accidentally see her appear out of thin air. In her world, if a human discovered a vampire existed, the vampire was either killed or taken as a mind slave. She’d had to do that to her housekeeper. Thankfully the woman had no relatives and so now the housekeeper mindlessly served Mati in her Maine home.
    The moment Mati slumped behind the wheel of her car, the tears exploded in heaving sobs that racked her core.
    Sweet vampire! What had she done?

Chapter Five
     
    She’s devastated. I can feel her pain sinking deep into my flesh and it hurts so badly , Paul replied and winced at the raw ache sifting through his body. This was the first time he had felt a physical pain from her during his waking hours.
    The physical link must be connecting as we knew it would after we were with her again , his brother replied as they both watched from the second-story bordella window as Matilda’s car taillights disappeared into the mist.
    Paul nodded, his excitement building at this new phenomenon. Only true mates grew the mind links and physical links. It was rare, but it did happen. And it only happened between twin males who already shared the psychic and physical link and the female they both fell in love with.
    They had felt something instantly when
