“Ruby! Ruby” he shouts, banging on the door.

“If you break down that door I swear I will stab you!” I yell back, and in that moment, I mean it.

A few hours later, I find out about the war breaking out between the shifters and the vampires. Shelley, a friend of mine comes by from the club saying all hell has broken loose with all the bikers being called to duty. It was all anyone was talking about and fear was running high that ordinary people would get caught in the crossfire.

“Are we safe?” Shelley asks me, worried. “Maybe Grace had the right idea.” She looks around, nervous, worried that someone might overhear her. “What if the vampires come here and kill all of us?”

“I don’t know that we are the ones they want,” I say, trying to be reassuring but the thought of a war makes me nervous too. I almost think about not showing up for work that night, but I don’t want any more trouble with Tomás.

A bloody brawl happens that night at the club. It starts outside, with some of the shifters attacking another gang. Everyone rushes outside when they hear shots being fired and suddenly one group is chased off into the night by a pack of wolves. We can hear the most terrible snarling and growling, then a few shouts and screams and the wolves come striding calmly back, disappearing around the side of the building. These are Tomás’s guards, and nobody dares to mess with them.

As I go home after my shift, I feel my fears mounting at the thought of the danger this war will bring. I worry about my mother in hospital and I wish I could reach her. I’d borrowed Shelley’s phone earlier to call her and let her know that I’d call her as soon as I had a new phone.

“What happened to your phone?” she asked me.

“It… ah… nothing really. It just broke,” I said.

“Are you okay?”

“Sure, sure,” I lied.

There was silence on the line. “If there really is a war, I want you to go somewhere safe, don’t stay here for me, please,” she said. “I don’t want you to die, sweetheart.”

“I’m not leaving you,” I say quickly.

My mother is in a hospital in Burton, the city closest to Buzzard Creek.

“I know what they’re like,” she said quietly. “The shifters. It’s going to be dangerous for you there, you should leave, get out of the way. Let these animals kill each other.”

“Only if you’ll let me move you to another hospital,” I said. “I’ll find a place that has a kidney unit, that can help you.”

“Ruby…”

I interrupted her, “I’m not leaving you, okay? Let me make some calls!”

The other hospitals are too expensive. I know I don’t have that kind of money. The little I’ve saved up so far would last for a few weeks and what then? My mother needed round the clock care.

I was deep in thought when I arrived home that night. As I reached the house, I stopped for a moment and looked around. I could feel something in the air. Someone. Even though I couldn’t see him, I could feel Luc was there. It was madness, coming here at a time like this. I couldn’t believe he’d do that but at the same time, my heart started beating faster.

I went into the house and did not switch on the light, going to the back door instead and opening it. I didn’t hear him come in but the next moment, he was there.

I looked up and he’d closed the door behind him, just standing there, looking at me.

He didn’t speak and I didn’t want to talk.

Instead, I went to my bedroom, knowing he would be right behind me.

I took off my clothes, dropped them in a heap on the floor and stepped onto my bed, lying back, waiting for him.

He followed me into my room and stood at the end of the bed just looking at me. He didn’t say a word. Slowly he took off his clothes and lay down next to me. His fingertips lightly trailed my body, caressing my skin. I felt shivers of anticipation as his hands moved over my body. His eyes, burning intensely, stared into mine as his fingers trailed my skin, tracing every muscle, every tendon in my body. I couldn’t help myself as a small moan escaped from my mouth. His hand moved down, over my belly and towards my legs, sliding between my thighs. I tried to lie still, not to move, but it was becoming increasingly difficult as I felt my desire stir and build. I could feel his fingers entering me, gently caressing me. I leaned back and felt the slippery wetness of my body, wanting more. All of the pent up worry and stress of the day disappeared as I could feel only want and desire.

He leaned in to kiss me, hungrily, and he moved closer. I could feel his erect penis pressing against me and eagerly turned my body towards him, but he moved away, to prolong the pleasure. I caught a small smile on his lips. What was he up to? I wondered as he kissed my ear, then my neck, his tongue licking its way across my skin, all the way down my body until finally, he spread my legs and expertly found my clitoris, licking it and sucking as my body exploded with desire. I had never felt anything like this. I had no control over what was happening to me, could only feel myself arching my back, wanting more, moaning in the most delicious agony as I tried to get more of him inside of me, to get closer to this incredible source of pleasure. What was he doing to me? I couldn’t believe the sensations that were coursing through my body, it was like he had more than one tongue, more than one way of pleasuring me. I was going to come, I could feel it, it was like I had no way of stopping the mounting urgency in my body.

He seemed to know exactly how I was feeling. Right before I was going to climax, he paused and slid between my legs, over my body, slick with sweat. In the half-light of my room, I could see his muscled chest, the strong arms coming towards me. I wanted him to kiss me, to taste his sweetness and have all of him inside of me as we locked together, our bodies becoming one.

He was teasing me, I knew this and I didn’t want to say anything as he slowly made his way up my body, pressing into my skin. I felt his mouth on my breast and I felt the slightest tingle as something sharp grazed my nipple.

I didn’t care if he bit me though, I was in the throes of desire. I could have died right there and it would all have been worthwhile. I was too far gone to care about anything but what I was feeling right now. It was the most exquisite sexual experience I had ever had.
