Jerry rained sucking kisses all over her neck, collarbone, and shoulders. He moved to her face, kissing her eyes, her cheeks, her chin while they laid in the bed in the woods. Her hands were moving over his back and shoulders. She loved the feel of his muscles as he moved. She loved feeling him completely naked and against her.

" The sun will be setting in a hour." He muttered against her lips.

" So you will have to release me from the dream." Winter said. He looked down at her and swept his hand over her hair.

" I will. I need to take a shower. I didn't undress before I pulled you into the dream so my pants are going to covered in cum." He said.

" So our bodies had orgasms?" Winter asked.

" Yes, Love. Your beautiful, sexy little panties are going to be soaked with your own amazing, sweet wetness." He said, making her smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

" I can't wait to see you for real." She said.

" This will be different for us, I promise. Check in with Raphel, let him show you that I am being truthful and holding nothing back. I'm a completely open book. Tonight, when I get you home, you need to feed from me to being your strength again then we will sit down and go over all the marker/child rules. We will go over what powers I have over you. We will talk about the powers we have over each other as a mated couple. This is something we should have done from the beginning but I was caught up in being with you. I was caught up in finding a mate and the changes I was feeling in myself. I'm sorry but I can promise you that I wouldn't let that happen again." He said.

" I know you won't. I don't need to go to Raphel." Winter said.

" No, Love, I want you too. I will speak to him about it as well. I want you to have a meeting with him at least once a week for a while." Jerry said. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips. " Wake up, my beautiful mate." He whispered.

Jerry's eyes snapped open and he was grinning. The front of his pants were sticking to his groin and wet but he didn't mind. He sighed and sat up. He slipped from their mated bed and moved across the room to the bathroom. He reached down the bond to her but she was still under the sun's pull. He had released her from the dream but she hadn't woke up yet. Her lack of feeding right, and feeding from her mate, was effecting her in many ways, including being able to wake early, with the sun still up.

He stood in the middle of the bathroom and pulled his shirt off. Jerry opened his pants and pushed them down with his boxers. He stepped out of his clothes and moved to the shower. He kicked it on, still with his grin in place. He was excited and couldn't wait to see her. He was going to wrap her in his arms and lift her off the ground. He was going to kiss her and hold her close before they left Raphel's.

' Thank you, my father.' Jerry sent to Raphel as he stood under the water.

' You're welcome. I love you and I love her.' Raphel's voice rang in his head. ' I am glad I could bring you back together.' Jerry grinned as he washed up.

' I'm awake.' Winter's voice floated through his head as soon as he was done in the shower.

' I can't wait to see you.' Jerry sent excitedly. Just when he didn't think he could grin any wider, she laughed and he did.

' I can't wait to see you either. I'm just going to pack and I will let you know when I'm ready to go.' She said.

' No need, Love. I am getting dressed now. I will be there and help you pack up then bring you home and give you my vein.' He sent.

' Are you impatient?' She asked.

' Yes. I need to see you. I need to touch you. I need you to touch me and I need to kiss you.' He sent.

' Hurry, Jay.' Jerry was dressed in record time and heading up the stairs, taking them two at a time. He disarmed the basement alarm and opened the door. He walked over to the front door and undid the alarm there.

' Leaving the house, my Mate.' Jerry sent to her. Winter giggled and it struck him right in his heart. He opened the front door and was surprised to see Giselle and Nickolas standing there.

" What the fuck are you two doing here?" He snapped.

" Coming to see you." Giselle said. Nickolas quickly brought up a small pipe to his mouth and blew a dart out. It hit Jerry in the neck. His hand threw up and ripped the dart out but the poison was already in his system. He hissed with his fangs out.

" What have you done!" He yelled a second before his eyes rolled back and darkness swallowed him up.

" Raphel, can you reach Jerry? I can't feel him and he's not answering." Winter said when she came out of her room. Raphel frowned and tilted his head.

" I can't either." He said.

" Maybe he is trying to surprise me by sneaking up here." Winter said with a smile. Raphel shook his head slowly.

" No. As his marker he can not hide his presence from me. Something is wrong." He said with a frown. " He isn't answering me either and I can't get a line on his presence. We need to head to your house."

Raphel and Winter hurried out to his car. The other vampires that lived with Raphel had left for the night so it was only the two of them. Both were feeling uneasy as they drove. Raphel reached out and took Winter's hand. She squeezed his hand as they both continued to try and reach him. Winter closed her eyes and threw all her energy towards him.

" Anything?" She asked.

" Nothing, My Darling." Raphel said. " We are going to park in the woods and ran to the house. If there is a problem we can sneak up on it." Winter nodded.

Nickolas chained Jerry to a chair in the middle of the living room while Giselle spun around in the computer chair and sang to herself. Both knew the chains won't hold Jerry when he woke and came fully out of the drug so Giselle was going to shoot him up again. Nickolas stood up after fastening a lock on the chains and grinned at Giselle.

" I'm going to cut him and I want you to drink the blood. Winter will feel someone else taking his blood and think he is cheating. Both Raphel and Winter will feel the pain of the cut and come running." Nickolas said, pulling out a small knife. Giselle jumped up and walked over to him.

A searing pain shot through Winter and Raphel, making them both look at their right arms. Raphel tighten his hold on the steering wheel as he hissed and his fangs descended. Another pain shot through Winter's chest, over her heart. She grabbed her chest and leaned over as she whined. She forced herself to take slow, deep breaths, trying to overcome the pain.

" What are you feeling?" Raphel asked quickly.

" My chest, it hurts! Can I be having a heart attack?" Winter gasped out.

" No. It is your mated blood telling you someone is drinking from your mate. Someone cut our Jerry and is now drinking from the wound."

" It hurts so bad!" Winter said.

" If Jerry were to ever cheat on you, either by drinking from another vampire, have another vampire drink from him or sleep with someone, you would feel it. It will feel very much like a human heart attack. Breath through the pain, My Darling. Someone is setting us up. Someone wants us to come to him. My guess is he isn't even awake." Raphel said.

" Who would do this?" Winter asked with her eyes closed. She was starting to sweat. Raphel reached out and placed his hand on her back.

" You know who." He said as he rubbed her back. He pulled the car over and started to drive through the woods. " We have to bring him out of the haze he is in." He said, digging his phone out.

" How?" Winter asked.

" You're going to drink from me. I am calling my mate to tell her what we are doing and to bring others to Jerry's aid. My blood is strong, it will give you the strength you are going to need to face off with Giselle. I am hoping the pain Jerry will experience from you taking me from will force him awake." He said. " I'm going to cut my wrist and you are going to drink from me."

" Won't we be bonded?" She asked.

" No. Because your mate is alive, and we aren't doing a mating ceremony, I will just be tuned in more to your emotions. It will be that way until one of us dies, which won't be tonight. That I can promise you, My Darling."
