into a hell that was not of her choosing. She was ‘Owned’ but she was free to live her life in the safety of the club. She did feed a few vampires, a select few she trusted and was glad to call friends, Lochlann being one of them.
“So I heard that you have purchased a new… being,” she said with a raised brow once he ha d had his fill.
“Yes, a remarkable young woman named Amber I believe.”
“Amber? The dancer?” The shock evident on her face, “I'm guessing I will see you a lot more then as you will not be able to feed from her. Are you sure this is wise? I know you are in control of yourself but still.”
“Tristan has said the same, but there is just something about her, I want her in every way poss ible and though I know that is not going to happen I will take whatever she is willing to give.”
He left Marcy and headed to his s uite to check on the room that had been set up for Amber. They had been planning on putting her in the small guest room but he had told them to place her in the main room instead, he would take the small one. The room had been cleaned, bed freshly made, and her costumes and makeup from the dressing room back stage had been brought up, along with a few new items he had selected for her himself. Dresses with matching shoes, even underwear, though he didn’t know if she would dance for him in anything other than her outfits, but he hoped that she would. He was anxious to get this first meeting out of the way. He didn’t know how she would be in his company, nervous no doubt but he hoped to put her at ease soon enough. He and Tristan had had a little chat about the arrangement, about what she was comfortable with as a performer. She had done a few private dances before and even some lap dances during her employment, he definitely planned on having her do that, but not until she was ready of course. Now he sat waiting for Tristan to bring her into his office.
When they entered his eyes immediately went to hers. Hazel, finally an answer to one of the many things that had been rolling through his mind since he first saw her, her eyes were hazel. She glanced at him for a second then quickly looked away and focusing on the floor. He could hear her heart picking up speed, the blood pumping through her veins, could taste it in the air, making his mouth water. Yes it was definitely a good thing he had been to see Marcy first.
Tristan invited her to sit on the small sofa opposite him alongside Rachel. No doubt Rachel wan ted to check him out also. He didn’t think the young human was all that keen on leaving one of the girls alone with a vampire. She had not long met him herself so he couldn’t blame her, he was worried himself. Amber tested his control like no other. What was it about her?
“Amber, this is Lochlann. All the arrangements have been made; you will still be paid by the club but will perform only for Lochlann until f urther notice. You will also receive an extra bonus pay to account for the tips you will miss out on during that time.” Her head nodding in thanks but she remained silent.
“Now we will leave you two alone for a moment to talk,” Tristan said getting a shar p look from Rachel as they both rose to leave.
“I’ll be right outside,” she whispered to Amber as she followed Tristan through the door.

She had almost lost herself in his crystal blue eyes; they were the first and only thing she had n oticed about him. Only now that they were alone did she slowly move her eyes from the spot on the floor she had been staring at and take in the man before her.
Vampire , she told herself. I have to remember that .
He was wearing a black tailored pinstripe suit trouser , the material hugging the large thigh muscles beneath as he sat ankles crossed in the chair opposite her. His crisp white shirt was left open at the top allowing a small view of his hard smooth chest, the sleeves rolled up over his bulging muscles. She had never been fond of
