Angel smiled more when he smiled back. "Hey little cousin, it is good to see you again."

"I am surprised to see you; I didn't think I would see anyone until I went up to Maine." She moved to the window to make a closer inspection of her cousin. He hadn't changed much since she had last seen him a couple years ago. His hair was a longer by like four inches he was growing it out she could tell he wanted to look more like he belonged in the family, plus she once told him she liked him with longer hair.

"You cannot think that we would let you go around unprotected; there are many enemies that would not mind you dead. You cannot be let alone so people can try and kill you, even though I know you can very well take care of yourself." He leaned back taking one hand off the steering wheel to ruffle Angel's hair. He pulled up to Angel's office and let her out. Angel left with a smile and waved her good bye to her cousin.

She went inside and gathered her employees around so she could make her announcement. "Everyone, everyone, I have an announcement. I will be leaving during the days. My new boyfriend wants me by his side during the day so I will only be coming in after dark. But in about six weeks I will be leaving for about a week, it is right over Valentines Day so everyone will be getting that week off." She smiled when there were cheers of getting a brake.

Angel left to go into her office and work on her new dress that she would wear to her night with Zacarias tonight. It was a nice design, a two piece dress that was mostly black with a red rose on her bust and her hip with petals falling down the dress. She worked very hard and finally got it finished right as the sun was starting to set. She changed and did her self up right and went out to the car to meet her fate that was her mate.

Getting in the car she saw her cousin staring at her through the mirror, "You cleaned up Angel, may I ask for what?" He looked back to the road.

"I have a date tonight he is meeting me at my house right after you leave and I swear if you stay and watch me I will hurt you Jamie, and you know me I'll do it." She watched as his eyes flicked to hers then back down to the road as he pulled up to her building.

He turned around not looking in Angel's eyes, "I understand, my lady, I will make sure that no one will bother you this evening is there any other orders you need to give?"

"Yes there is I will not be out in the day any more most of my dealings will be at night I will use you for transportation at night but I will need your services during the day I need you to guard the house excpecaily while I'm inside, is that understood?" She looked severe she had always been good at giving orders.

"Yes, my lady." He looked back to the road as Angel left the vehicle.

She walked inside to find the rooms done up as she had the night before only the trail stopped in the bed room. As she walked into the room the door shut behind her and the lights went down lower. She walked over to the bed; she soon found arms around her waist fingering the top hem of the bottom part of her dress. "Evening, Angel. You look well."

"I am well, so what do you have planed for me tonight, Zacarias?" She smiled as she felt him pull her more fully against him, feeling the evidence of his desire.

"I have all sorts of plans for you. You will enjoy them I can assure you that." Zacarias turned her around and took her mouth with his, being rough but gentle at the same time. He backed her into the bed and quickly laid her down and climbed on top of her. Zacarias waved his hand setting all of the candles around the room ablaze. He kissed down from her lips to her neck causing her to arch up long enough for Zacarias to unzip her top and her bottom. He pulled his head up for her to see him smile with his fangs protruding a little under his top lip.

"Zacarias?" Angel gasped when he put his head back in the crook of her neck.

"I won't hurt you; you will like the feel of me taking your blood tonight." He pulled her clothing off and his was gone, he leaned his weight down on her, loving the feel of her curves against his hard muscle. He kissed his way back to her lips as he entered her, oh so slowly. He sat there and just kissed her then he started to move. He moved faster and faster, he kissed down her neck to her chest. He sucked her nipple into his mouth playing with it with his fangs. He kissed his way to the swell and scrapped his fangs over her pulse there once, twice then they sank deep. It caused Angel to cry out and arch up at the pleasure she felt because of the bite. He loved the taste of her, the sweetness that was her life's essence.

He closed the opening in her breast and kissed up to her mouth so she could taste what her blood tasted like. After he kissed her he moved up a little more so his chest was hovering over her mouth, he put a wound right over his heart and told her to drink. That was what she did, she took enough for an exchange, but he let her take more than was necessary, so she could get used to the taste of what her new sustenance would be. She finished and he closed the wound, he leaned down with his mouth at her ear and whispered, "I claim you as my lifemate,"
