there not facing her for a moment so she turned away from him finally shutting the apartment door.
    “I have so much to tell you,” he whispered.
    She walked slowly towards him stopping just short of him crossing her arms in front of her. “So start talking, Lukas.” He sighed at her words and she was reeling with a thousand emotions.
    He turned towards her, his eyes glowing with passion? He didn’t speak, instead he closed the gap between them and took her face in his hands pressing his lips firmly against hers. She tried to pull away only for a second before she melted into him allowing his tongue to slip inside her mouth and entwine itself with hers.
    After what seemed likes hours, he broke the kiss. “I love you,” he panted. Gloria’s heart dropped to her stomach. Oh my god! He loved her?
     
     
     
    Kai
    He had done it. Told the woman he loved just that, that he loved her. She wasn’t speaking she wasn’t moving, Kai wasn’t even sure if she was breathing. “Doll?” he said still catching his breath running his thumbs across her cheeks.
    “You love me?” She finally asked.
    “Very much, Gloria Keller.” He smiled.
    “But yesterday....” she began. He placed a finger over her mouth.
    “I have a lot of explaining to do. And I have a lot of making up to do. However, I’m truly sorry about yesterday morning. My head wasn’t in a good place.” He stopped before he started rambling.
    “You really hurt me.” He nodded in agreement. He knew that he severely hurt her and if he had to, he would spend the rest of his life making up for that.
    “I know, doll. Please just give some time to explain things.” She nodded and her eyes glossed over his face. Her fingers went to the bruised side and gently rubbed over his bruises.
    “What happened?” she asked quietly
    “Raiden,” he answered, her eyes widened. “Don’t worry, I deserved it for a lot of reasons. Can we go sit down?” She nodded and he led her over to the couch.
    He studied her a minute after they sat down. “Are you feeling okay.” She replied with a shake of her head. “What can I do?” She shrugged.
    Kai was disappointed she wasn’t confiding in him but he didn’t blame her. “How about some toast?” She gave him a smile and he kissed her briefly before heading towards her kitchen. It was a good thing he had so much to tell her and he needed to get his thoughts in order.
     
    Gloria
    She wanted to tell him, but she also needed to hear what he had to say first. The way he tossed her yesterday morning was different than all the other mornings. He was never particularly nice, but yesterday he was down right out of line.
    “Some juice, doll?” he called from the kitchen.
    “Juice sounds great, Lukas.” She couldn’t help but smile. This was what she wanted. She wanted the passionate and rough sex Kai, but she wanted to be taken care of as well. Not that she deserved such a thing, but she was hoping Kai Lukas could be her light.
    He walked back in with a plate of toast and a glass of juice. “Here you go, doll.”
    “Thank you,” she responded softly.
    “So...” he began, ringing his hands together. “I’m not who you think I am.” She paused mid bite.
    “What do you mean?” she asked, suddenly worried about the direction of this conversation.
    “I’m a vampire.” She busted out laughing. Kai wasn’t laughing though, instead he just stared at her with a serious expression across his face. She stopped laughing and her eyes widened.
    “I don’t understand.”
    “Well luckily, that was the hard part. I’m a vampire as is Raiden and Bethany and we aren’t the only ones. Years ago, before I was even born, when Lee Wyrick first became king of this land...” She held up her hand effectively stopping him.
    “King?” He chuckled at the question
    “Yes, King, Raiden is a Prince. And if we were to get technical I’m a duke and Bethany is a duchess.”
    “Ummm....” She started but stopped immediately. She
