area with Britney’s parents. She hugged them all, thanking them for the party.
    “It’s going to be quite the hit. I should be
thanking you,” said Britney’s father. “I have people who weren’t invited paying
big money to be the one of the hundred or so extra we let in. The bands you
have playing have been a big draw.”
    Sasha just bet they would be. She had no idea how
Britney had got the bands to play. She eyed her friend, who winked at her.
    “Dad, I think it’s time to get the party started.
Tell them at the door to let the invited guests in first.”
    Britney’s father nodded and talked into a mobile,
and Britney dragged her away and down the stairs to meet her guests.
    A couple of hours later she’d meet all the people
Britney had invited. Sasha was now talking with some of her drama friends,
Jess, Zeck , and Travis, when the main band started.
Everyone screamed and rushed to the stage.
    Britney seemed to come out of nowhere and pull her
to the stage. They fought to get to the front until suddenly Savron was at her
side pushing people out of the way.
    “I thought you weren’t coming,” Sasha heard Britney
mumble.
    Savron shrugged his broad shoulders. “I couldn’t
stay away.”
    They made it to the front, and Savron stood at her
back, a solid unmoving force against the crazy crowd behind him. After a couple
of songs his arms came around her, and she eased back into his hold enjoying
the safety and comfort of his touch. When the band finished she turned around
and stood on her tip-toes to kiss him in thanks, but as soon as her mouth
touched his, her body came to life, and she ran her fingers through his hair
gripping him to her as he devoured her. His hands came to rest on her arse , and he ground his erection against her. Groaning, she
pulled away as the second band started up and cheers went up around them.
    The rest of the night he became her protector, and
she’d didn’t have to wait for drinks as he got them for her. At 11:00 they
brought out a massive blue and white three tier cake with an eighteen candle on
the top.
    Savron disappeared as her friends sang happy
birthday, and she blew out the candle. Sasha’s friends all hugged her, and she
danced the rest of the night away. Before she left for home she asked Britney
where Savron had gone.
    “He went to work.” Britney smiled, and they left in
the limo.

    The rest of her week was busy as she caught up on
dance practice she missed. Tuesday and Wednesday Savron had driven her to dance
class. He hadn’t said much, and he only gave her pecks on the cheek or brushed
his lips over hers, nothing like the kiss on Saturday or her party night. Sasha
felt like she was getting mixed signals.
    Britney invited her over Thursday night, which was
games night in her family. Savron came in late with takeout and was her partner
in crime on the games. By the end of the night, Sasha thought she’d needed a
rest from the Pride family. Something didn’t feel right, and Savron ran hot one
minute and seemed cold the next. She needed to sort things out.
    ****
    Savron had had the week from hell. He was happy the
colder weather was bringing out the vampires early so he could hunt longer,
because he was having a hell of a time not throwing Sasha over his shoulder and
taking her back to his house and claiming her. The more time he spent with her
the more he liked her. She was easy to get on with and happy to stay at home
with his family and talk or play games.
    Last night had been game night. They did it every
Thursday before they went out to rid the world of the nightmare creatures and
run their clubs. Sasha had fit right in with his family laughing, teasing, and
fighting. They’d been paired together for Pictionary. They’d almost won, but
his mom and dad took them out, keeping their undefeated status.
    Being that close to her and not being able to do
what he wanted had driven him crazy. This morning his mom had come into work
saying she was late because
