~Nadira~
That hadto be the longest shift ever!Nadira thought as she jumped in the waiting car. Cyran closed the door, walking around to thedriverseat.
“Hi, Cyran,” she said, buckling herseatbelt.
“Princess.” Cyran nodded, as he pulled off the curb. “Badnight?”
“Yes, we had a couple more rogue attacks come through. One girl didn’t survive the change. It was so sad,” she murmured, staring off into the night as Cyran drove them home. Her phone vibrated, signaling a text. She glanced down, noticing a message from Cooper. Her heart did a littledance.
I hope I’m notwakingyou.
She quickly responded.Nope, just got off work. I thought you forgotaboutme.
I can’t forgetaboutyou.
She smiled, feeling bold.Oh, really, whyisthat?
Who could forget the most beautiful woman in theworld?
She laughed aloud at that. Cyran raised his eyebrow in the rearview mirror. She shook her head. A few minutes later, Cyran pulled their vehicle into the garage. She jumped out of the car, not waiting for him to open the door. She hurried to her room, snatching her scrubs off, and threw on a pair of comfortable leggings and a t-shirt.
Feeling brave for some reason, she hit his number, listening to the ringing. He answered on thesecondring.
“Hi,” she said shyly. “So, I’m the most beautiful woman in the world? Do you get many girls with thatpickupline?”
His husky laugh caused a flutter of butterflies in her stomach. She bit her lip, sighing at the sound of his laugh. Just the sound of his voice had her fighting her incisors fromdropping.
“I don’t think I have ever used a pickup line. I was just stating the obvious.” His voice sent a shiver down herspine.
“Oh.” That was all she had. She couldn’t think of a quirky response as she lay back onherbed.
“Would you like to grab coffee or something tomorrow when I getoffwork?”
“What time do you get off?” sheasked.
They made plans to meet for coffee. He wanted to pick her up but she didn’t think that it would be a good idea. She refused to tell him that she didn’t think it would be good for a human to meet her vampire family. She made excuses that she would be in that area anyway. Now she would just have to find a way to get there without anescort.

~Cooper~
He couldn’t believethat he was actually nervous. He peeked at the clock on the wall, seeing that only one minute had passed since the last time he looked at it. He glanced over at the door again, his breath catching in his throat. It felt as if something slammed into his chest as he watched Nadira walk throughthedoor.
Her long brown hair hung in waves down her back while her icy blue eyes searched the coffee shop for him. Her skintight jeans and t-shirt looked like she had been poured into them. Looking at her feet, she wore high heels that had him promising himself if he ever got her alone and naked, the heels would be the only thing he would allow her to wear. Her eyes caught his as she walked towards him. Every male in the coffee shop eyed her as she made her waytohim.
“Hi,” she said, smiling up at him while giving him a small hug. He gestured for her to have a seat at thetable.
“What willyouhave?”
She told him her order. He went and ordered their coffees. He turned to glance back at her, catching her ogling him. A blush crept up her neck as he winked at her. He felt his anxiety grow, wanting to get back to her side; he wanted to examine her flushed skin upclose.
“Here you go, sir,” the teenage barista said, grabbing his attention from Nadira. He turned, catching the eye of a guy who was staring at Nadira. His glare caused the guy to look away quickly. His possessiveness towards Nadira was something new and shocking to even him since they had only just met. As he walked back towards her, he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. She smiled as he sat down nexttoher.
She took a sip of her coffee, moaning with her eyes closed. His cock jumped to attention.Down, boy!He shifted, trying to adjust himself, as he watched her lick the whip cream from her top lip. His eyes locked on her tongue licking her bottom lip clean. He had a strong desire to capture her plump bottom lip between his teeth while burying his hands into herthickhair.
“Oh my, that is so good!” she gushed, her blue eyes twinkled. He was at a loss for words. His mouth felt like someone had glued his tongue to the roof of his mouth. “How isyours?”
