Vampire Food 8

He Smelled Like Peach Pie

Rory Laroche has found a love of science in the lower labs. Russell Cane is spreading his alpha seed among the women of his breed. Sylvester "Salt" Angelicas Lancaster Trantono is with Mia, and Em is suffering from vampire imprint depression. 

When Becka and her three cohorts set off a string of bombs, they accidentally release a thousand year old vampire/shifter named Shanagar. He smells like Peach Pie and Em can’t stop herself from biting him. Shanagar’s blood is toxic and has the potential to end her life. Instead it takes from her two of the things she loves the most, Rory and Salt. 

When Em, Russell, and Shanagar fly south with Rory, Salt and Mia, to track down Becka, they find that she had joined with a huge group of shifters. They are forced to retreat. They land on a deserted highway to wait out the sun, and Em does the unthinkable. It is the ultimate sacrifice that will either give her back her life, or end it forever.

DEDICATION

 

 

Thanks go out to my husband, who finds other things to do as I sit at the computer, writing for hours on end. I love to write and see what happens as the story progresses. No, I never know in advance, and even when I think I do, the story often takes a turn in a different direction.

I would also like to thank my good friends who support and encourage me to continue writing.

To you, my fans, I enjoy your feedback, and without you, I would be writing for only my own amusement. Thank you.

Happy reading. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1

 

Em was sitting in the lounger that she had pulled over close to the window. The sun was just coming over the horizon and it looked as if the late summer heat was going to continue. Her eyes took in the brilliant shades of pink and orange that seemed to drift above the mountaintops in the distance. It was an amazing sight, streaks of color forming and fading as the night receded.

She was alone with her thoughts. Salt had finally given in to Mia’s requests for him to be her first lover. It was an honor that Salt had questioned Em about on numerous occasions. He was reluctant to take the girl’s virginity, when he felt that there was no emotion between them. She could still hear the last conversation in her mind.

“I know what she wants, Em. I know that she has come to think of you not only as her mentor and her idol, but as her mother. Ruth is gone. She took off with one of the loggers who was going into the mountains to cut down wood to build the new houses. We are the only family Mia has, and I fear that sleeping with her will damage that connection that she has to us.”

Salt’s points were valid, and in many ways she agreed with him. It wasn’t as if Mia was still a child. There was really no way to know exactly how old she was, but over the last six months Mia had aged quite a bit mentally. If Em had to take a guess at her age, she would say around twenty-one or two. “I would tell you to say no to her, but I fear that is not what is in your heart. I think that you are so concerned about her because you want to be with her. You want to have sex with her and be her first, don’t you?”

She had made a point to keep the resentment from her voice as she said the words and had succeeded admirably. Now as she sat thinking about it, she wasn’t sure if she had made the right choice. She had given them a month rather than a single night. It would give Salt a chance to form an emotional bond with Mia, so he could sleep with her in good conscience. Em’s biggest worry now was that the bond would become too deep and Salt would regret leaving Mia afterward. It wouldn’t have been so bad had not Mia suddenly broken up with the man that she was supposed to love. Now Em was questioning Mia’s motives. She didn’t think that Mia would purposely try to take Salt away from her, but she wasn’t really positive. If Mia did, Em had no idea what she would do.

Em sighed and pushed herself to her feet. The sunrise was over and she was becoming fidgety rather than sleepy. It seemed that the longer she was in the caves and able to be in the protected light of the sun, the more her body was reverting back to human sleep patterns. Now she was rarely sleeping during the day or during the night.

Wandering into the bedroom, she gazed around. Her once-overflowing bed was empty. Rory had discovered that he had a real interest in the scientific inventions that were ongoing in the labs below. He was currently helping as an apprentice and learning how to use the various chemical concoctions that were created there. From what he had explained to her, the first step was to use natural substances to form the necessary chemical components that could then be combined into useful things. They were currently working on a liquid that could be poured over ordinary glass to make it sunproof for the other fortresses around the country. There were seven envoys from seven different fortresses living at the caves. Each envoy now had his or her own minihelicopter to fly back and forth when needed.

One of the very useful inventions had been a component that could be poured into a flexible sheet of plastic-like substance that could then be cut and molded to form any desired shape. When laced with conductive wire and cured for a week, the material was strong enough to be used for the helicopter frames that would absorb sunlight like the most powerful solar panels. Once the frame had charged over the day, it could be flown across the country during the night without any other source of fuel. The engine assembly was a simple turbine that powered the blades and controls.

Em flopped down onto the bed. She missed Rory, but couldn’t deny him his dream by asking him to stop. If anything, he had become obsessive about obtaining the necessary knowledge of the craft. Even when he was upstairs with her, he was reading and memorizing.

Russell, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly more convinced that Becka was unable to conceive a child. He had gone to her on and off over the last seven months to no avail. Four other strong female shifters had been chosen to bear his children, and two of them were now pregnant. The other two were patiently awaiting his attention. Em was not so patiently waiting for Russell to come back.

Em crossed her arms under her head and closed her eyes. She didn’t need to sleep, but she wanted to sleep. She wanted to stop thinking and questioning her life, her men. She had become too dependent on them, and now she had nothing to do without them. Maybe she should find a hobby. It could be an activity that she did in her human life or maybe something new. Em really needed to figure out what to do with herself. The only time she bothered to leave the room anymore was to go to the weekly discussions of the alliance or to go running in the gym. Maybe she should go outside and run. At least it would offer her some variety.

 

* * * *

 

A hand was softly rubbing her back, a single hand, cold and vampire. Em opened her eyes expecting to see Rory or maybe Russell. The face she saw surprised her and she blinked, wondering if she was dreaming. His smile was beautiful, his longish blond hair falling to one side of his head and over the arm that was bent beneath it. “Hey, sweets.”

“Hey. Are you real?”
