I walked slowly down the halls, thinking about the next Full Moon Ritual I would be having less than 24 hours from now. Couldn't i ever get a break? I suppose not. I sighed loudly and entered the library. I nodded toward the desk and continued toward the shelves of books on my right. The library was empty. Now, this library was huge, full of books about anything and everything. Thankfully everything was put away, organized in its place.

I reached one of the many shelves and raised a finger, slowly reading, the titles and my finger grazed over then. Well hell. Their really was a book for anything and everything. Huh. Damien was right, no shocker there. I dropped my hand letting it fall to my side. I looked down at the floor. This was going to take me forever. I sighed and looked up again. Moving to my right scanning the many rows for a book that would be helpful.

"Zoey." The sexy call of my name drifted to my ear, Loren. I turned slowly facing him. Why did we always meet in the library?

"Do you follow me?" Oh, my goddess. I did not just say that out loud. I could feel my face getting hot. But i had to admit, it what as pretty creepy that we would meet in the library, and at the worst times to. Not that i didn't like seeing him, cause i totally did, but every time I'm in a hurry and need to get something done. Poof, Loren just magically appears.

He smiled lazily. It was rather boyish, and rather cute. It made me smile. "I'm sorry, am i bothering you?"

"No!" I answered too quickly. I cleared my throat, telling myself to clam down. I mean he was only just about the hottest vampire poet alive. "I enjoy your company." I said calmly.

"That makes too of us." He smiled again, flashing his perfect white teeth. He was so fiiiine as Shaunee would say. I returned his kind smile. It was so hard to think around this man. He stepped forward looking over the books.

"Looking for something certain?" He continued to look at the books. I turned to face his profile, he really was sexy from any angle. Which made me feel guilty. I was dating Erik what was i thinking?

"Uh, not really, just browsing." Lie.

"I see." He turned to face me, which caught me off guard. He looked over me a few times while I drank in all his features. He turned his head and raised an eyebrow. "You truly are beautiful Zoey." I blushed.

"As if sealed in glass

The frozen branches are still...

I am missing you."

Oh my. 'I am missing you' does that mean be was missing me. Oh boy. He reached his hand up and placed it on my face. It send shock waves through us both. When we touched each other it was electrifying. I took in breath sharply. I could tell he was having the same effect from me that i was having from him. Before I knew it, I was in his arms. He was muscular and strong and sexy. And at this moment, I wanted him. As if he read my mind he kissed me, full of the lips. At this moment I knew he wanted me too. Out lips melted together. Our tongues danced with one hand played with my hair the other on my chin, mine remained on his chest. Things were getting hot and fast. I was longing for this, for him.

He broke away from our kiss leaving us breathing hard. His lips traced my chin line and he kissed my neck. Somewhere inside of me I got excited. Which was strange. I've drank blood but never had to drunk from me. Heaths reaction told me it was amazing. Some part of me wanted to feel that, to experience that, but the thought was quickly drowned when Loren's lips returned to mine. Things were more intense this time. Lorens hand slipped up my shirt.

Suddenly the beautiful connection between the two of us was broken by an all two familiar voice. "Excuse me." I abruptly stopped kissing Loren and grabbed his hand to remove it from under my shirt. He was processing this slower. After a seconds notice he broke away from me to look behind me. I looked at the floor, disappointed . I didn't want to look. I didn't wanna see the expression on her face. I already knew what it looked like. I forced myself to turn around. Slowly I lifted my head to meet her eyes. "Neferet"
