doorway of the inn he nearly ran into her.
Chapter 3
Lara scowled at Nicolas, her green eyes suddenly suspicious. \"Are you a ladies\' man? All sweet talk and syrup with no substance? Because I\'m telling you right now, I\'ve had experience with that kind of man and I can see right through flattery.\"
She was lying. Looking him right in the eye and lying her pretty little butt off. She had no experience with men. And she couldn\'t stop blushing every time she looked at him. The smile started in his mind and spread to his lips. Genuine. Spontaneous. A miracle in itself that he could smile-that he had a reason for smiling.
Nicolas wanted to carry her off to his lair and keep her to himself for a year or two, learning every detail about her. Desire rose sharp and painful. He kept his face without expression. \"I do not believe anyone has ever said I talk sweet or that I am syrup in all the years of my existence.\"
She gave a little undignified snort. \"Maybe not, but I\'ll bet they called you a lady\'s man.\"
\"I am a Carpathian hunter of great skill but I am certain I will have the necessary skills to become your mate.\"
She choked and turned away from him, stomping into the inn, her shoulders stiff. Nicolas moved in behind her, very close, aware as they entered that men turned to look at her. She was striking with her skin and hair, the glow many Carpathian women had, a sort of luminous quality combined with a fluid sexy walk that drew the eye. He flashed a message, letting them know without words that she belonged to him. Black eyes carried death as he looked directly at each man to emphasize the point. They looked away from her and two actually left, telling him the vibes he was sending out were just a little too strong. He was going to have to learn to manage his newfound emotions.
Nicolas followed her up the stairs to one of the rooms, taking the stairs two at a time. She reached for the doorknob. Nicolas\'s hand was there before hers. He inserted his larger body smoothly between her and the room.
\"I will go in first.\" He had already scanned the room. Two unknown human males and Mikhail, prince of his people. Still, even with the prince, he wasn\'t about to take any chances on her safety. He scented vampire blood.
\"It\'s my room,\" she objected, shocked at how smoothly, how easily he had taken over.
His black eyes moved over her face. \"Yes it is and you seem to have a surplus of male visitors.\"
He didn\'t wait for an answer, but pushed open the door, ignoring her outraged little squeak. Mikhail had been fully aware of his arrival, his gaze shooting past him, but Nicolas\'s much larger body blocked the doorway, preventing Lara from entering. Nicolas took in the scene, the man writhing in pain on the bed. A second man holding his shoulders in hopes to calm him while the prince seemed to be attempting to heal the injuries of the male on the bed. Nicolas stepped aside to allow his life mate entrance.

\"Nicolas,\" Mikhail stepped forward to clasp both his arms in the traditional greeting of respect and honor between warriors. \"It is good to see you.\" He didn\'t show the worry he had to be feeling that Nicolas De La Cruz had traveled personally from South America to bring him news. He understood that news couldn\'t be good or word would have been sent through the chain of Carpathians to their homeland.
\"I bring greetings from Zacarias as well as my other brothers. I hope you and your woman are well.\"
Mikhail nodded. \"I sensed a disturbance earlier.\"
Nicolas didn\'t change expression, nor did he look away. Of course Mikhail had sensed a disturbance. Nicolas had been close enough to turning that he had nearly taken his own life mate\'s life. Fortunately, she had a knife and hadn\'t hesitated to use it. The blood was gone from Nicolas\'s shirt, but Mikhail wouldn\'t be easily fooled.
Nicolas turned to his life mate. \"Mikhail Dubrinsky is the prince of the
