A/N: Any mistakes are mine and you are smart you can figure out what I mean if it's not perfect LOL Also I'm pretty sure I misspelled the Nosferatu Primogen's name but I can't find it in my heart to correct it if I'm wrong.

Chapter 06

The peck on his nose was quickly followed by a deep passionate kiss. Elena had never let him get much farther than second base with her. She said she saved her self for those she loved so when she started to frantically tear at his jacket and clothes to get them to come off Cash knew she loved him.

Cash by no means was foreign to sex. He considered him self quite good at pleasuring women, but he felt like a virgin when he was with Elena. She brought out so many doubts at the same time she was good at taking the control from Cash that he let her. He let his mate show her Alpha Female as she pushed him down on the bed in nothing but his boxers since she had stripped him.

Elena was in only her black lacey bra and matching panties when she straddled Cash's growing member and looked heatedly down upon his form. She growled a bit, and Cash growled back.

Cash heard the growl, it was human, but it was utterly the biggest turn on and his member engorged instantly after hearing that. Elena teased him by grinding her hips against him and then she looked down through her dark lashes.

Cash turned his head to the side in submission, something his animal had never let him do before but practically begged him to do to his mate. Elena is His Mate.

Elena took this show of his throat as something special instinctively and she bent down and kissed it sucking and the nipping down to his shoulder. Cash flipped them over and Elena showed her throat to Cash. A small twinge of a time passed flitted over Cash's memories but quickly left him. This was how Tressa had died. She had submitted to him just the same, but this time he fully understood why Tressa died. She was not what his animal respected as a Mate because this time he lowered his head to suck and nip just as Elena had to he and he had no desire to feed from her.

That was a lie he had the desire but her Alpha was equal to his Alpha and he didn't see this action as a time to feed.

Their lips met again in fiery passion and they fought for dominance but came to a rhythm that sated both and there was no more need to fight, just enjoy.

Cash had removed his boxers only to have Elena flip them again so she could rest her warmth against his cock. She flipped her head to the side and let Cash watch her hooded gaze find his and she took her bra off in a flick.

Cash admired her full breasts and kneaded them with both hands as he distracted Elena from her conquest of being on top to flip her yet again so he was able to remove her panties. This time she had no intention of rolling them over as she watched Cash ask for permission to enter her.

A small nod and then bliss overcame them both. Cash felt her as only a vampire could but she was perfect and Elena knew Cash felt right. They rocked together in perfect harmony of pleasure and love.

It was then that Cash's animal needed to taste her. There was no fear that he would hurt her to take too much and Elena seemed on the same page as she begged him to bite her.

Elena's orgasm was hard and rocked her to the core when Cash bit her. He soon followed the waves of pleasure and came hard as well. Her blood was liquid power and Cash had to coax his animal with a stern set of will power to pull him self from her. Both were panting but what Elena did next sealed them for life.

The wound at her neck had sealed but would remain and Cash was fearful of it showing to the Prince, but Elena took his finger to his mouth while his fangs were still protruding from his gums and scrapped it across the sharpness. He hissed at the small pain but watched as she took his now bleeding finger and brought it to her lips.

Elena had unknowingly completed the ritual of mates among the Gangrel and called into question Cash's lack of faith in the Fates. She was his in destiny more than just in chance.

Elena had sucked and licked his finger clean and pulled it from her mouth in a pop. "If I didn't know Cash I would say that look means you liked that a bit too much." She teased.

"Oh you have no idea."

The original plan of trying to deceive Julian was thrown out the window as he now didn't have to prep Elena for her interview with the Prince. "Just tell him all he wants to know." Cash told her while he inwardly added that if she told him everything with the aura of truth behind it he would be rewarded with Julian being in his favor and that would definitely help with the Conclave's decision.

"Yeah, I know Cash; let's just hope he likes me." She said knowing full well her personality can be a bit dominating and that may not be appreciated.

Cash had to stay in his room while she had this interview so he couldn't interfere. He truly wasn't fearful of what his Prince would ask her, he was however fearful of how she would respond if Julian pushed a button that he, himself has pushed once and regretted.

Elena came into the Prince's office when asked to and sat across from his large desk. It was covered in organized piles of paper work making it look bigger than it probably was. The hearth to the right of where she was sitting had a small fire in it although it was still warm for the winter months in California.

Elena figured it was for ambience more than for heat. She continued to look around the office at the bookshelves behind her to the heavy curtains drawn away from the large windows. The sun didn't feel the same coming through the windows so she figured they had been treated for UV protection.

Julian sat patiently as he watched this human that was adored so much by Cash that he bent rules to bring her here surveyed his office. She was astute beyond her years and he was pleased with how she spent time appreciating the details of his office.

Her gaze was transfixed on the heavy curtains to the side of a window and to the back of the office and she wouldn't stop looking at them. That is where he had Daeldius hiding for the interview.

"Excuse me, your Highness," Elena began before Julian could pose a question to her, "but if you want me to be truthful as respecting you dictates then who ever you have hiding behind that curtain should give me the same respect and come out."

Julian let the surprise cross his face momentarily and then he called to the corner and told Daeldius to come and join them.

Elena was a bit surprised by what the man looked like that had come from the corner but knew him to be Nosferatu as Cash had explained so she calmed down instantly and held her hand out to him.

Julian not only watched this strange human hold her hand out to properly introduce herself to a "scary" Nosferatu, but noticed how she reeled in her wild heart beat back to normal.

Daeldius looked at her hand and smelt her lack of fear of him and extending his clawed fingers to her. She took his hand and gave him a firm shake, "I'm Elena, nice to meet you. By the way that curtain didn't do you justice as a good hiding place."

"Daeldius." He offered, "And no probably not." He gave her a polite smile.

"I would like to know how you knew he was there, Elena?" Julian asked perplexed.

"First off I would like to say thank you for the warm hospitality I've been shown here and that I want to answer each and every one of your questions truthfully. Cash suggested I do that not only because you would be able to tell if I'm lying but because I want to." Elena said and when she had both of their attentions again she spoke, "I felt him there."

"Felt?" Daeldius asked since he was more into the abnormal he felt it wasn't going beyond his Prince to engage her in questions as well.

"I have this feeling when vampires are around. It's hard to describe but it's like a chill but stronger in my head than in my body. So I knew you were there, I felt Cash too." She smiled with the mention of Cash's name.

"I see." Daeldius said. He deferred to the Prince but he was in far contemplation so Daeldius continued. "So you knew what Cash was before he courted you?"

"Yes, but it's not his fault really. I was exposed to vampires, I know you guys are called Kindred but let me explain. I'm a different species of vampires' supe called the Doppelganger. I had several years of vampire politics I had to deal with and long story short, I died, was brought back by a spell and since then have been able to sense vampires and apparently Kindred too."

"Did this affect your courtship with Cash?" Julian asked this time.

"At first yes, I didn't want to go through more vampire bullshit because of my past experiences but feelings came of this courtship as you call it, and now I love him for him, not just because he's Kindred."

Julian wanted to ask more and of course Daeldius was beyond intrigued by this human girl but she interrupted. "Not sure if you wanted ears in on this conversation but someone has been standing outside of the office for longer than should be necessary."

Julian didn't sense Kindred outside and Daeldius was taken back but a short knock was on the door and when opened revealed Lily the Toreador Primogen. She tried to smile off the fact that she had been discovered by the human but Julian was more than sufficiently suspicious.

"I didn't want to intrude but Julian I need to discuss with you about The Haven and wasn't sure if I should wait."

Julian seemed to calm down but Daeldius was not fooled and by the look of the human she wasn't either.

"I will conclude this interview for now. You have given enough information for me to conclude that you were telling the truth and I would like time to confer with Daeldius, but once I know what the decision is I well tell Cash." Julian saw the dark heated look Elena gave him, "and you of course." The look all but disappeared and Elena took her leave as Josh took her back to Cash's room.

Daeldius mused to himself how the human put Julian into his place and he allowed her to be treated as Cash's equal. He also saw the ill affect this had on Lily and the subtle change in her body language. This could not be good and he knew he silently vowed to pay attention to the Toreador's activities from this point on until Cash Embraced her.
