Free Vampire Lane by Anjela Renee

he just waited until she finally spoke.
    “Um...Hi, I just wanted to say hi,” she said barely above a whisper.
    “What is your name?” he asked.
    “Mmmm ...y name is Mindy.”
    “It is nice to meet you, Mindy. It is very loud in here. Would you care to join me for a walk? We could talk and get to know each other better.”
    Mindy looked around nervously. He thought she might actually decline his invitation. How could such a thing occur? No human should be able to resist his vampire suggestion.
    “Well, I don’t know, I guess that would be fun. We need to stay nearby, okay? Safety first,” she joked.
    He faked a laugh and took her by the hand. He led her out of the noisy bar. He knew of a place that would be perfect for the fun activities he had planned.
    “My dear, the driver will take us to a well lit park where we can take a nice walk.”
    “I don’t know. Getting in a car with a man I don’t know wouldn’t be very smart of me, would it?”
    Of course it’s not, but I hope you will anyway.
    “I understand if you decide not to, but either way, I will still be going for a nice walk in the park. Do you have a vehicle? You could just follow.”
    “No, I don’t have one. I will just text my friend your name; that way if something happens, she knows who I went off with.”
    He smiled. She was smart girl, but neglected to think about whether or not the name he would give her would actually be his real one.
    “Come inside; we can take a selfie to send her, too.”
    Mindy nodded and followed him inside the limo. She took out her phone and they snapped a picture together. He gave her a fake name of Paul Chambers and she typed it out, but before she could send it, Shane took her face in his hands, and stared her in the eyes and sent her a suggestion that it was already sent. He reached for the phone, and then he erased it completely. The driver drove them about thirty minutes to an abandoned house in the bayou. He led her out of the car. It took a lot of vampire power to keep her calm, because she was scared and wanted to scream and run. He finally just picked her up and carried her inside. The furniture was covered with sheets and smelled musty from the moisture getting inside. He set her on the couch gently then put her to sleep with a final suggestion. She was exhausting to control. He sat in a nearby chair to rest a moment. He looked at his prize—a brunette virgin, who now belonged to him.
     

 
     
    Chapter 18
    Natasha sat at the desk in her family room. She hadn't done much with the room; it was mostly an office with a feminine white desk, and a small flowery love seat on the other side. She was working on the bills Maureen grabbed for her. She knew Tanek would hate it, but she didn’t want to see him. The easiest way to avoid him would be to work from home. When Tanek wanted to speak with her, he could call her. She knew he would have to talk to her eventually about work, but as far as she was concerned, there was no Tanek. She would have to see him at the baby shower, and she doubted she couldn’t really avoid him forever, but she would sure try.
    Natasha knew Maureen was working all night, so when she heard the doorbell ring, it was a surprise. She walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. And there at her door through the little hole, she spotted her sire, Godfryd. If she wasn’t dead already, she would swear she died on the spot, as she felt herself have a bit of a panic attack. She didn’t know what to do. Her door was vampire proof, and she had no intention of letting him inside. She considered running, but knew he loved a good chase, and eventually he would catch her anyway.
    “Natasha, my child, I can hear your sweetness from here. Let me inside. I only want to talk with you. I am not angry. I won’t hurt you.”
    “How do I know you are telling the truth?”
    “You are from my blood line. If I lie, you would know it.”
    Natasha knew he meant what he said, but that
