I woke up to the sun shining through the shut balcony doors, the rain had finally stopped. Alec must have closed them after I had fallen asleep. I sat up, stretching and then jumped as I saw Alec lying next to me. He was topless and lying on his back, so I had a clear view of his abs. I didn't want to look at him too long incase he woke up and saw me, that would be embarrassing. He was striking in his appearance, carved like an angel. I shook my head, subconsciously trying to get rid of the thoughts. As quietly as possible, I moved out of the bed, trying not to wake Alec up. I went to the bathroom and reaslised that I wasn't wearing the same clothes I had fallen asleep in. Maybe Alec had changed me because I had fallen asleep in my damp clothes and then I remembered that he had kissed me and drank my blood! That was a day to remember. I had a quick shower and then walked back into the room to grab some clothes. Alec was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed. I had a horrible feeling that he was awake and just pretending to be asleep. I walked back to the bathroom, changed and walked back into the room.

"That's nice," I heard Alec's voice, I looked towards the bed to find he wasn't there. I felt arms snake around my stomach and pulled me into an embrace. Alec's appeared by my right shoulder.

I jumped slightly. "What is?" I asked, not sure what he was talking about.

"Your dress," he replied.

"Oh."

It wasn't anything special, but it was pretty. He spun me around gracefully to face him. The closeness of him shocking me. I still liked him; I just didn't want things to go too fast. He kissed me unexpectedly and all thoughts went out of my head. Before I had a chance to regain control, there was a loud knock on the door. Alec pulled away and I thought I heard him growl.

"What?" He said quietly.

The bedroom door opened and a man, probably a vampire, stood in view.

"Sir, there's a complication downstairs, Maveric asks you come down immediately."

"Fine, go, I'll be down shortly," Alec replied.

The vampire closed the door and Alec and I were left alone again.

"I'll come back as soon as it's sorted," Alec said to me before he left quickly.

I walked to the balcony doors and pulled them open. A cool breeze hit my face, blowing back my hair.

"Hello Darcy," I jumped as I heard the voice, not expecting it. I looked around for the source but I already knew who it was. Lex jumped down from somewhere above landing neatly and elegantly in front of me.

I felt my eyes widen in horror as I came face to face with this vampire yet again. I started to move slowly backwards towards the bedroom door.

"Ah, ah ah. You're not going anywhere," Lex said to me in such a calm tone.

I turned away from him and bolted towards the door. I didn't get very far before a felt my body being yanked backwards.

"Alec!" I yelled before I could stop myself.

It took me a moment to realise that I was on my back, Lex was crouched over me covering my mouth with his hand to prevent me from yelling again. He looked angry now.

"Listen hear, you little human, you'll do as I say or you'll be dead within a second, understand," he growled. "Now, keep quiet."

He took his hand away from my mouth and pulled me to a standing position. He turned my body so my back was pressed against his stomach and walked me towards the door.

"We are going to pay Alec a little visit," he said smiling.
