Twilight and it's characters belong to Stephenie Meyer, her publishing house, and Summit Entertainment.

Pre-read by Heather and Abby…I sorta love them.

This chapter has been officially "Tripped" out by my magnificent BETA, Trip! Thanks!

First bonus chapter…


"None, but I should call my friends let them know I won't be back for dinner."

"Good. I was just on my way back to the house for a veritable feast made by my esteemed cook, Mrs. Cope. Would ye do me the honor of sittin' for a bite with me?"

"If you'll give me just a moment please, Mr. MacCullen?"

He nods, I bite my bottom lip, and smile as I pull my cell from my purse and dial my friend Renata's number.

While I'm disclosing my plans I pin him with a gaze meant to convey many things, namely the fact that people will know where I'm going and whom I'm with. Just in case I go missing because he truly is planning on selling me on the black market.

As I hang up, promising to call periodically so she doesn't worry, I straighten myself out.

"Ready when you are, sir." I put emphasis on the last word, and watch his eyes turn stormy, the smile he'd been sporting falls just slightly. He recovers quickly, though the ghost of a storm still lurks in the depth of his eyes.


Enjoy…:D
