I don't own this show or book. It belongs to Lifetime and Tanya Huff.
This is another Fluffy scene. If you don't like it oh well don't read on. But thank you to all those that have read it and reviewed. I am sorry for not writing sooner. My life was in an upheaval and nothing was going right. But I promise I will right a chapter sooner than that. Thank you and enjoy.
Vicky was really annoyed at the men in her life. First of all she was not a toy to be thrown around and to be tossed aside when the big bad vampire and the testy detective wants to get into it. I mean, who do they think they are anyway!
"Vicky …VICKY! Wait up!" Henry was following at an easy pace, but he knew when Vicky was mad and this moment was it. Getting fed up with her ignoring him, he grabbed her arm and tugged. She stopped abruptly and sighed in exasperation.
She huffed and looked at Henry with anger, and said "Look, Henry I realize that you and Mike are like competing with each other and all that, but for once I would like to be treated as a human being with feelings and not a toy that you can play with and toss around when you feel like it. I have a job and some of us take our lives seriously!"
Finished with her rant she started to walk off, but was stopped by Henry pulling her back to him. Looking at him with incredulity and anger, she was going to say something, but something stopped her. Henry was looking at her with pure love and devotion. Oh Great! I can't deal with this. He can't make up his mind if he wants me and I don't know if I am over Mike. NO, NO, NO! Oh please don't say it. Vicky looked at him with questioning eyes, and when he leaned in, she thought he was going to kiss her, but instead, he leaned down close to her ear, and whispered softly, "Vicky, you are so cute when you are mad." Then with that still stunning her he quickly bent down and kissed her pouty lips and then said, "We could always go back to my place, and well….."
Looking shocked and mad all at the same time, she looked him straight in the eye, and then leaned in and kissed him with more passion then she had ever felt before. This kiss was different than any other kiss that she had experienced before. This one was explosive and turned her body to mush. This was a kiss she only dreamed about. Pulling away, she stared into his gorgeous eyes and before he could say anything she ran to a cab and got in. "To the library and step on it!" Henry was at her side in a heartbeat. "Where do you think you are going all by yourself?" "I am leaving you. Now get out." Surprised but not shocked, he replied, "Why Vicky? What are you afraid of?" Sighing she said quietly, "I am afraid of Norman and these marks and I do not want to die Henry! I am very afraid that you will leave me and I will die old and gray and never love you the way I want to because you don't want me and I love you a lot. I love Mike but differently, but you only want sex, and I want more! God I am so frustrated! Just please go, Henry. Please?!"
Henry was shocked. He had never heard of Vicky being vulnerable and scared and that SCARED him more than ever. Quickly recovering, he scooted closer to her, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Vicky, you are so beautiful, sweetheart, and I want you, badly. But I don't want to hurt you and I want you to be sure before you go and say things like that, do you understand?" Slowly, she turned her head and stared into his dark orbs and whispered, "You want me? Then what are you waiting for? Do something about it." Grinning he leaned down and kissed her nose, mouth, jaw, and finally again her mouth. They never did find out about Norman until the cab driver cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Miss, we are here, at the Library." Giggling, Vicky and Henry got out and paid the cab driver.
