seem to drink her in.
You are beautiful, Vanessa, he said as his hands caressed her
lower belly. Nessa loved the way he said her name, sounding more like
Varr-nessa. Do you know you carry my child, Vanessa?
Nessa gasped; how on earth did he know she was pregnant? How
do you know? I only just found out I was& and I thought Larry&
Neman gave a growl of disapproval. Never mention his name
again, Vanessa the child is mine. His arm tightened around her
possessively as he looked down into her eyes. The fates have anointed
you to be mine, Vanessa. In a way, you have always belonged to me. And
now I have you.
As much as those words sent a chill down her body, her mind
instantly rebelled at the thought of being a mere possession. Nessa quickly
rolled out from under him, scrambling off the bed before turning and
glaring at him.
I don t care who or what you think you are, Neman. I m not just
some floozie you can pick up off the street to join your little cult. There is
no way I could be pregnant by you we only had sex three nights ago.
And for your information, I don t belong to anyone but me, so you can
shove that up your drainpipe and choke. Nessa spun around, heading

for the door.
Where are you going, Vanessa?
To find an Australian embassy and get my naked ass home.
The demons that destroyed your apartment weren t sent to kill
me, Vanessa they were sent to kill you.
Nessa s hand froze on the door handle; what did he mean, sent to
kill her ? She turned around, and her mouth went dry. He had removed
his shirt, and his fine muscled chest looked as decadent as sin where he
lay casually on the bed, his head propped up on his fist, the
shoulder-length black hair fallen over his strong bronzed shoulders as he
watched with his alluring golden eyes. He patted the bed next to him,
trying to tempt her back. Oh yes, he was more tempting than her favorite
double chocolate strawberry liqueur ice cream. It then hit her with full
force that he was a god, a real live god. Nessa had been fucked by a deity!
How many girls get to boast about that?
There is much more you should know, Vanessa. If you still want
to leave after you know all of it, I will take you home.
Nessa was of two minds, for something told her that once she did
know it all, there would be no way to leave. But if she left now, ignorant
of the truth, maybe she could just get on with her life. A life alone as a
single mother. Then there was Darren. Oh cripes, Darren he must be
frantic about her if he d come to her apartment.
I need to call Darren! she blurted out. Neman sat up, and she
could see an angry glare in his eyes.
Another lover, Vanessa how many boyfriends did you have?
Nessa actually cracked a smile at the jealousy in Neman s voice and
expression; he looked like he was about to murder any man who had ever

come within six feet of her. How sweet, how very macho, how very
wrong no, not wrong, this was something none of her previous
boyfriends had ever done. Not that Neman was her boyfriend, just
because they d fucked a few times. She was pregnant, yes, but that was all
there was to it, wasn t it? Nessa tried to clear her head; now wasn t the
time to ponder over such things. She stalked back to the bed, launching
herself up and landing on top of Neman. She pushed him back on the bed
as she straddled his chest, placed her hands on his shoulders, and looked
into his eyes.
Now listen here bozo, I don t have time for your archaic jealousy.
Darren is a near and dear friend to me. He was meant to be visiting me
tonight, to make sure I was al; right after the shock of finding out I was
pregnant. So either get me to a phone or go back and make sure he s all
right. I don t want those things, demons or whatever they are, to harm
him got that?
A smile split his handsome face, and a mobile phone suddenly
appeared out of thin air.
He gave it to her. I thought dealing with demons was difficult.
He chuckled.
Neat trick. Can you magic some Tim-Tams to me as well? I m
starving.
Doesn t work like that. I can only teleport objects from where I
know they are. Just dial the direct number. He looked in no hurry for her
to move off him as she sat on his chest, dialing Darren s number. She tried
his home number, got his voicemail and became worried. Neman s hands
had snaked their way up her hips. Calloused fingertips rubbed against her
skin, raising her internal temperature.
She slapped at his hands, but he only slid them up to cup her
breast. I m not getting any answer you sure this thing is working? She
looked at the phone.
