When Theodore finds where she works and offers her the chance to be a personal photographer for his company, it's an offer she can't refuse. Her saving grace, her personal angel, whatever he needs to be. And once she accepts the offer, he has much more to give to her.

No one will know a Duke laid a hand on me." I tug on the door handle begging it to release. The soft leathers chill against my warm skin mocking me of the current predicament.

I need my dog." Think! Think! That got his attention. A horrid about of alcohol is in my system causing me to sprout idiotic ideas. I mean, what if the vampires eat dogs, "You'll be a good girl if I get your dog?" "On a vampires blood promise." I make an 'x' on my heart.

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts.

He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping.

His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin."Firefly? About done?"

True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance...I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates…
