I couldn&039;t get out of the car Ridiculous I was a badass vampire I knew this place, had been here a hundred tiood times but at least I&039;d had Jerry by my side Now Castle Campbell in all its ruined beauty was just yards away and I felt the determination that had carried ht out of h when I noticed the laird had let the National Trust open the place to tourists at five pounds a pop Not that the fa the day in the stone fortress above their heads The family would sleep like the dead in the luxurious quarters they&039;d built centuries ago belowground It was dark now and the tourists were long gone, the tea and gift shop in the tower closed

"Get out of the freaking car" I hit the plastic steering wheel Talking to e Because I wasn&039;t supposed to be here Jerry had asked for tiiven it to him? Of course not Glory St Clair worked on her own tiht now I needed, desperately, to seehere, staring at the castle where his ed ho back to reality

Maybe Jerry would be better off without ht he&039;d fallen for all those years ago He deserved better For once, his ainst the carWhat had I been thinking?

A knock on the glass next to me made me jump My vamp instincts sucked if I could be surprised like that I rolled down theEl cheapo rental car didn&039;t even have pos

"Aren&039;t you co in?" Jeremy Blade, Jeremiah Campbell III, my sire, whatever you wanted to call him, smiled at me

"Do you want me to?"

His ansas to jerk open the door and haul me into his arms "How can you ask that? Do you have any idea how much I&039;ve missed you?" He buried his face in my neck and just inhaled In vamp terms that was the equivalent of the "Hallelujah" chorus

"I was supposed to give you soainst the soft wool of his plaid, carelessly thrown over a cotton shirt I inhaled hily fa in me

"I shouldn&039;t have taken off like that You needed me" He leaned back and looked intosure I knew just how much he cared Tears pricked my eyelids but I wasn&039;t about to let thes would only get better once Jerry knew the truth about hoe&039;d met and fallen in love

I smiled as he pulled back "I have so ed to cross the Atlantic" He glanced at my rental car and dismissed it as unworthy "I would have sent a plane for you, Gloriana"

"The details aboutnews for you, Jer" I held on to hilad to finally be with hihthearted adventure I&039;d paint for hiet and the death sleep h said

"Come inside, lass Mara had just arrived when the servants spotted you on the security caed me toward the heavy wooden and iron door to the fa

"Mara" Not my favorite person She&039;d alanted Jerry for herself

"You can be nice to her for five ave me such a brilliant sain

"Are you sure we can&039;t slip away into the pasture for a real reunion instead? I rehed "Or twenty Not yet Da is inside and eager to greet you He always did love you, you know My mother is in Paris so you can relax on that score And we&039;ll make sure Mara is sent on her way quickly" Jerry slid one hand aroundneckline "Very quickly"

"See that you do" I sighed as he kissedover it as his hands explored e of Dollar down below the castle and booked a room so I could freshen up before I&039;d come here I wore a low-cut sweater in his favorite blue with a skirt that showed off lanced around "Where are these security ca some worker a thrill?"

Jerry nodded toward a dark corner of the doorway "Afraid so Da&039;s outfitted the entire area with ca on security and you kno the clan is about the feud with the MacDonalds"

"Don&039;t start" I held up et this deal with Mara over with Then we can be alone"

"Well, now, it was Gloriana Welcome to the castle, lass Mara, look who&039;s here" The laird, Angus Jere ed wintery smiles As usual, she was dressed expensively to show off her sliether perfect looks of a true Scottish lass I was the epitoht of myself that way It had marked me an outsider when I&039;d first arrived, on Jerry&039;s arus asked eneral way Apparently Jerry hadn&039;t told his father about the problems between us that had sent hi them up now, and the warm reassurance of Jerry&039;s hand on mine helped me know I didn&039;t need to be in a hurry to do so

"Well, Mara Jerry says you have big news" I was eager to lanced at Jerry then held out her left hand The huge diaiven us all a clue "I&039;uy?" I leaned back, happy when Jerry stayed seated next to ainst mine

"Davy McLeod You know hiether at New and actually looked happy

"Sure Davy&039;s a goodhe was thinking that I&039;d never accepted a ring from him But thenhad a clue why not, didn&039;t we?

"A fine clan, the McLeods Allies in ti MacDonalds" The laird got up and kissed Mara&039;s cheek "Well done, lass Well done I wish you happy"
