Chapter Sixteen

Claire's POV

Eve and Michael are taking Rose and Nathan for the night so Shane and I can have the house to ourselves. We turn on a movie, I'm not quite sure what it is because Shane starts kissing me. The first few kisses are sweet and hot and then they slow down, turning loving and perfect.

Everything about Shane appeals to me. His lips, his hair, his attitude. He's the one person that balances me out. This kisses begin to escalate. Shane, out of habit, picks me up and carries me up stairs.

(Time Skip)

Later that night, Shane and I are curled up downstairs, waiting for the food to finish cooking. Were making tacos, a family favorite. There's a knock on the door just as the timer goes off.

"I'll finish cooking if you answer the door," I say, getting up. Shane sits up and stands, grinning at me.

"You drive a hard bargain," he says jokingly. I laugh. He heads toward the door and I step into the kitchen.

Shane's POV

"Yes?" I ask, answering the door. There are a few unfamilar men at the door. I blink, confused. Vamps, the whole lot of them.

"We would like to see a Ms. Danvers," the man says, formally. I blink. Claire? What do these men want with my Claire?

"There isn't a Ms. Danvers here. Just a Mrs. Collins," I say, looking at the men with a hard gaze.

"Were not asking young man. Either you hand her over willingly or we take her by force. That's how it works around here," the man says, his eyes flaring red. Shit. I slam the door shut. I pull out my phone and speed dial Michael.

"Shane? I thought you were having your honeymoon. Is something wrong?" he asks. There's banging on the door. I dash into the kitchen, needing to get to Claire.

"Big problem, Mike. Group of vamps outside the door looking for Claire," I say, turning off the burners and grabbing Claire around the waist, hoisting her up. She yelps in surprise. I walk into the secret room in the pantry and set her in it. I stay in the pantry, shutting the door behind her.

"Shit. Ever stay with the kids. I'll be back as soon as I can," Michael says, hanging up. All there's left to do is wait.
