quickly.
    “It's hot ! ” But he smirked which added a nice glaze to his chestnut coloured eyes. He drank it all in one and my mouth must have dropped because he started laughing. At least I think it was laughter, rather that or he was doing an impression of a bull grunting and getting ready to charge. He handed me back the mug which was still hot.
    “Good?” I asked determined to get more than a few words out of him but he just nodded so I gave up. I moved to the open front door and he watched me carefully.
    “I thank ing you” He said and it looked as though he found it difficult thanking a human girl for anything.
    “You ’ r e welcome, if you want anything else, just let me know . ”
     
    I had to a dmit that with my very own priva t e Hercules standing guard I didn't worry about my new stalker. I could imagine getting hit by Ragnar would be like being hit by a run away train. I decided while I was alone to do a load of washing, take a shower and ring RJ to let her know I was still alive. I felt a bit bad that I had waited so long and after what had happened to Jack and Celina , I really wanted to make sure he was alright. Plus this would be a conversation I didn't really want Draven to hear. When it came to me and Jack being friends, Draven didn't approve....that much was clear. I got the cordless and snuggled on the couch.
    “Hey RJ , its Kaz . ”
    “Oh my god! What happened to you, have you heard the rumours? People think the Draven s abducted you or something!” She sounded a little to o happy about this idea. I wondered if she wasn't the one to spread these rumours but then I dismissed the idea feeling guilty for even thinking it.
    “No , no, nothing like that, I just had some real personal stuff to deal with and the Dravens have been helping me with it.” At least I could get away with saying that without lying.
    “Like what? You know Jack has been really worried about you , he wanted to call the police! ” She did sound concerned but also relieved, which was sweet.
    “Some stuff from England but it's all over now . ” For some reason saying it out loud made it seem more real.
    “Is he there?”
    “No but you have his cell number right?”
    “Yeah, I will give him a call. RJ , I have something to tell you but I don't want you to freak out ….ok?”
    “O..k..” She said slowly.
    “You also have to promise me not to tell anyone and remember you’re the only person that will know , so if I hear that the whole town knows tomorrow then guess who I am pointing the finger at ? ”
    “OK , ok I got it, Jeez… deadly secret, pinkie seal and blood exchange! I promise . ” I didn't quite understand the other bits but I decided to trust her anyway.
    “Well…um… me and Dominic Draven are sort of.... well, dating . ” As soon as I said it I thought she had been hit with a brick, she was screaming.
    “RJ.....RJ? You still there?”
    “OH MY GOD, NO FREAKIN’ WAY!!!! That is some crazy shit! Tell me everything before I go insane with jealously and come round in a murderous rage . ” I laughed at the thought of RJ's face when she got here to kill me and met Ragnar by the door! I explained how Draven had helped me out with some issues with a stalker I had back in England and that's why I didn't like talking about my past. I didn't think telling her this would do any harm....well I hoped not . I carried on saying how Sophia wanted me to stay with them for a few days just to be sure he didn't come around looking for me.
    “So how did it happ en, you lucky bit ch ? ”
    “I don't really know but I guess after spending sometime together something just clicked . ” Ok , this bit was a lie but it sounded more believable than the outrageous truth. That I was bor n for him , even I couldn’t get my head around that stumper.
    “So have you jumped his bones yet? Because I'm telling you now it would not take me seconds to rip those...”
    “Ok , ok , I got it . ” We both laughed .
    “We ’ re
