The male who wore Scepter’s face, but in her mind, wasn’t as handsome, lifted a brow.She could see he was waiting.There was a hint of humor on his features, but beneath it was a boiling cauldron of rage.She tried to get a sense of who or what he was so angry at.His immediate response to her digging shook her to the core.The male allowed her to see his need to be the one taking Astaroth’s head.The images were gruesome, but they were clearly from the past.She recognized Astaroth killing the male's father and his bonded mate.
She hoped like hell Scepter wouldn’t get too angry at her for what she was about to do, but the male who had to be his twin deserved the kill.Without giving herself a chance to change her mind, she used her Fey power to launch Astaroth into the waiting arms of the look-alike named Severin and turned in her male's arms.
“Hello, my love.How has your evening been?”Starla asked, fluttering her lashes.
Chapter Nineteen
“Ah, Anima Mia.Youare in so much fucking trouble.Dare I say, I’m angrier than I have ever been in my very long life?”Scepter asked, the muscle in his jaw bunching and un-bunching.
“Now, before you give yourself a vampire equivalent of a heart attack, I would like to point out I had the situation totally under control,” Starla said.
“Oh, did you now?”he asked.
Starla jerked her head up and down, biting her lip.“Absolutely.”
Scepter closed his eyes and counted to ten.When that didn’t calm him down, he did it again.“He could’ve killed you in five seconds or less, Starla.”
“How?He obviously tried with his glowing sword.Look how well that worked.”She brushed her hand down her abdomen, showing the untouched lace front.
His eyes took in her attire.A black lace corset that framed her breasts with skin-toned mesh all the way up to her neck, where more of the black lace went around her throat like a collar.The design extended down her arms and legs, with a skirt-like tail along the back that resembled a few layers of tulle and lace, while the corset bodysuit hugged her curves like a second skin.Where the lace covered the important parts, the mesh was skin-toned, giving the illusion of transparency.His cock was so fucking hard, he was surprised he could control himself from fucking her where they stood.
Scepter puffed out a breath.“We’ll talk about your transgression when we get home.I need to get Savage to handle this.”
“Why can’t you?”she asked.
“Because he’s got the entire club warded with his signature.It’s a matter of respect.”He sent a call to Savage, needing the male to create a bubble around his twin and Astaroth and to sanction the death of the other vampire.If he didn’t, Severin would still kill the male, but there would be issues Scepter would have to deal with.
The familiar static washed over him.He gave his brother a slight nod, indicating the path was clear for him.
Savage appeared next to him.Time froze around them.
“Aurora would like her sister to sit with her upstairs,” Savage said.
Scepter looked at Starla.“Would you go sit with your sister, Anima Mia?”he asked, working to keep the impotent rage from his tone.
“I’ll do as you ask because I’m understanding like that.And in turn, you calm your jets and promise me you won’t demand we leave immediately after you finish your business.I really want to stay and enjoy a dance or two with you on Valentine's Day.I know you’re upset.We can discuss your reasoning later.”She stood on her toes, kissed his lips, then flashed away.
