Keyanna and Kevin

By: divinelyinspired75



Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting a story of my own. I have been a longtime fan of the site and I have even become friends with a few authors. Thanks to their encouragement I am finally submitting my own work (yay). So here goes, please be patient as the story unfolds, and the plot is layed out. Thank you to Faith White for editing this first chapter and I hope she is ready for more. Enjoy, comment and vote! Without further delay I give you Keyanna and Kevin.. 

******************************

The First Meeting...

"Okay girl, get out of the car," That's what she kept telling herself. Keyanna was sitting in her car outside of the Hotel where they agreed to meet. "Shit, I can't stop shaking. I am nervous as hell," she said to herself. She had all kinds of thoughts running through her head such as, "What if he doesn't like what he sees in person? Is my breath okay? Why did I decide to wear this outfit?" she sighed looking down at and pulling on the yellow spaghetti strapped shirt. "I need to get out of the car now or I'll chicken out." 

Keyanna checked herself one last time in the mirror then opened the car door and got out. She adjusted her shirt and smoothed her form fitting denim capri's and headed for the front lobby. Kevin watched Keyanna from the window debating on whether or not to get out of the car. 

"God she is even more beautiful in person," he said out loud to himself. 

He knew she'd be nervous, and that she would hesitate, but he also knew she was curious and that was what would make her come to him. 

Keyanna got onto the elevator and went up to the 3rd floor. The elevator doors opened, Keyanna took a breath and walked out of the elevator and walked the short distance to the door she needed. She took a deep breath, "no turning back now," she thought and knocked on the door. 

The door opened and their eyes met. 

"Hi there, come on in," Kevin said with a smile.

Keyanna walked in slowly and stopped inside just enough for Kevin to close the door. She heard him turn the lock which made her heart beat faster and her breath come in little pants, getting deeper and faster as she stood waiting. 

Kevin stood behind her and just drank in the view. His eyes probed her every curve and detail; from the style of her hair to the color of her strappy shoes. He slowly walked up to her and gently kissed her on the nape of her neck. She can feel the warmth of his breath as he kissed her again then he moved his body to her, inching closer with every kiss until she could feel him pressed firmly against her backside. 

They decided that once she came into the room she was all his to do with as he pleased. He could start whatever, whenever, and in any spot in the room he chose. Right now that spot was in the doorway.

He turned her around and kissed her. It was slow, passionate and intoxicating. Unlike anything she had experienced with her soon to be ex- husband; it was different, hot and nice. He put his hands around her waist and pulled her even closer to him. Once he had her pressed against him, he allowed his hands to roam freely on her body; he gripped her ass, and cupped her breast teasing her nipples ever so slightly. Kevin broke their kiss and led her over to the bed and began to undress her. She watched every move as if it were the first time she had ever been undressed by someone other than herself. Every touch seemed to be sensual, soft and arousing. Even him removing her shirt and revealing her already erect nipples through her bra and unhooking her bra and kissing her nipples, teasing them with his tongue was arousing. She watched him unfasten her jeans sliding his hands down inside them to push them down and reveal the ass he had just been checking out at the door. Pulling her panties down and off revealing the sight of her neatly trimmed pussy which was already wet and yearning to be touched by him. Smiling he whispered to her,"lay back on the bed baby." 

Keyanna crawled up onto the bed and lay back thinking that they were going straight to the main event. Kevin had other ideas as he grabbed her under her knees and pulled her back to him near the end of the bed. Kevin lowered himself between her legs and lost himself in the sight and smell of her wet and waiting center. Where she was neatly trimmed up top her lips were smooth and hairless, swollen and glistening with her honey running between them. Keyanna could feel his breath on her and in between panting breaths she whispered pleads, "Please, please kiss it." 

While he was still admiring the view she reached down and slowly began to rub her clit. "Mmmm," Kevin groaned, "I like that, baby." 

Keyanna was spurred on by the sound of Kevin's voice so she proceeded to tease him more by plunging two of her fingers inside of herself. Keyanna began to moan in pleasure from what she was doing, and was pleased to have Kevin watching. She began to manipulate her nipple with her free hand. Not wanting her to have all the fun Kevin removed her hand from her pussy and begin to suck all of her juices off of them making sure not to miss a drop. He then lowered himself and proceeded to gently kiss her clit. She writhed in ecstasy arching her back and lifting her hips to increase the pressure on her pearl, while squeezing her nipples. Kevin buried his face in her pussy, tasting all traces of her sweetness he could find. Keyanna could feel his tongue moving in and out of her. Then he switched and inserted his fingers into her. "Yes, yes fuck me," she screamed, as she began to lose herself bucking against his skilled mouth. 

Kevin sped up, pumping his fingers faster and deeper inside of her. Keyanna ran her fingers through what she could reach of his hair trying to pull him closer. He stopped briefly to kiss her fingers and disappeared again into the wetness of her pussy. He licked her clit and tongue fucked her hole stopping for only seconds to kiss her lightly on the ass. He took his thumb and pressed it against her asshole. She opened up wider as an invitation to go further. Taking the cue Kevin slipped his finger into her pussy and then slowly entered her asshole. He fingered it gently, and then went back to feasting on her pussy. Keyanna could hardly contain herself. His finger felt so good in her ass, and she couldn't keep her hips still while he was orally exploring her sweet pussy. 

Feeling hot and bothered Keyanna began licking her breast, teasing her nipples with her tongue. Kevin looked up and paused to watch mesmerized by the sight. His cock couldn't get any harder. He withdrew His finger from her ass and began to stroke his cock.

Kevin wanted to be inside of her, but he loved the sweet taste of her vanilla scented valley and he wanted her to cum first. He plunged back into her pussy licking her and feasting on her clit. Keyanna was so far gone that she started screaming, "Yes, baby, that's it, yesss, Kev—in, I'm--- cominggg!" 

Keyanna's thighs begin to quiver and she screamed out her climax. Kevin stopped licking Keyanna, she felt cold missing his warm mouth on her. She could feel the weight of the bed shifting as Kevin climbed up on top of her and began kissing her. He could feel the head of his cock pressed against her throbbing opening. He pushed into her a little, then further and further until he bottomed out. Keyanna loving the feel of Kevin keeps panting and moaning in pleasure, as she takes every inch of him into her. He is so much bigger than anyone she has been with and he was filling her up completely. He held still to allow her to adjust to his size. He felt her starting to grind herself in a circular motion creating the sweetest friction on his cock, "Ooh baby," he moans as he starts to fuck her, "You're so tight.... so good!" 

He moved slowly and deeply pulling out and pressing all the way in and rolling his hips against her driving them both insane with passion. Kevin spurred on by Keyanna's moans picked up speed. Keyanna could hear his hips slapping against her. Kevin came down on top of her resting his weight on his elbows and passionately kissed Keyanna. She could still taste her sweetness still on his lips. He continued to go deeper making her moan and raise her hips to meet his every thrust. Keyanna can hear his breathing increase as he gets closer to his climax. 

"Turn over, I want to fuck you from the back," he said. Happy to oblige Keyanna rolls onto her stomach. As she raises her ass into position, he grabs her hips and pulls her to him. Kevin enters her from the back. He is so much deeper now. "Oh damn baby, you're so fucking deep," Keyanna moaned. 

Kevin reaches up and places one hand on her shoulder pulling her up towards him. He wraps one arm around her waist to hold her up, the other hand he places around her neck. Kevin tightens his grip around her waist and starts fucking her hard, squeezing her throat a little tighter as he picks up speed, "uuungh...shit! Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum," he moans, as he lets go of his cum inside of her. 

Kevin held her tight as spurt after spurt of his cum fills her. The arm around her waist hangs loose, the other hand lies almost limp on her shoulder. Kevin eases his grip and lowers his head onto Keyanna's shoulder. They both remain still, breathing heavily for what seems like forever. Then almost as if synchronized they both lay down; facing each other their legs intertwined, kissing......

Eight months earlier....

"I am ready to go," said Keyanna to her mother on the phone with a shaky but determined voice. 

Her mother replied, "Key, baby, your brothers are on their way. Do you have everything packed up and ready?" 

"Yes mom, I have all my stuff labeled and moved to one room. Deitrick helped me finish up last night. Hey, Mom, I .... I never thought it would come to this, that it would ever end; at least not this way." 

"I for one don't know how you stayed this damned long and you managed to hide all the shit he put you through from us," her mom said. "Personally he needs his ass kicked for putting his hands on my baby...Your daddy lost it when I told him what was going on. He wanted to come down there and kick his ass; it took all night to calm him down. Keyanna, honey, when your dad and brothers see Donovan, he is a dead man. They are going to fuck him up when they find him. They want to get you get you moved out and safe first. After that Donovan better have angels watching his back."

Keyanna fought back tears as she listened to her mother. Donovan had been cheating on Keyanna for years. They were married for four years when the rumors Keyanna heard about Donavan and his cheating finally hit home. The first time Keyanna confronted Donovan was when she walked into his office and saw him zipping up his pants after his recent blow job. The mindless slut was still on her knees gawking at him when Keyanna came in. Donovan was immediately pissed when he saw Keyanna standing in the doorway of his office. That she entered his office without knocking enraged him further, never mind that she was his wife. This was his office and dammit, today she will learn some fucking respect. 

Keyanna started to ask what the fuck was going on when Donovan suddenly grabbed the slut on the floor by the hair and dragged her towards the door. He threw her out of the office and slammed the door shut. Red in the face he turned to Keyanna grabbing her around the neck and proceeded to choke her. 

"From now on bitch you knock before you come into my fucking office!" he hissed to Keyanna through his clenched teeth. His nostrils were flared in anger as he added his other hand to Keyanna's neck and squeezed harder. "Mind your own fucking business from now on and we will both be fine, you got that?" he spat out menacingly as Keyanna's world faded to black. 

Donovan let her drop to the floor; he looked at her passed out form with contempt as he chuckled to himself while stepping over her body to leave his office. He got to the door and straightened his tie just before opening it and stepped out. He turned to his secretary who had witnessed the whole fiasco and glared at her. "Mara have the cleaning crew come by in the morning. My wife is resting in my office and doesn't want to be disturbed." 

Mara nodded as she replied "Yes sir Mr. Masters." 

Mara knew better than to believe her boss. Having been a victim of Donovan's rage before she was sure that if Mrs. Masters was indeed "resting" as he put it then he definitely had a hand in it, literally. Mara watched him get on the elevator. As soon as the doors had closed she called security, who knew of Mr. Master's tendencies, to make sure that he got off the elevator and into his car. When she was sure he was definitely gone, she got some smelling salts and a wet cloth and went to go and get Mrs. Masters up off of the floor. 

When Keyanna came to she thanked Mara for her help. "Thank you, Mara." 

Mara smiled and replied, "No problem. You may want to go get checked out, you were out for a while." 

Keyanna just nodded at Mara as she righted herself to try and stand up. There was an unspoken agreement between the two as Keyanna got to her feet and Mara exited the office after turning to Keyanna and nodding then closing the door as she left. That day became the first day of years of hell to follow. She never knew this side of Donovan existed. There was no sign, or warning. It seemed to come from nowhere. Or maybe it was always there and she was just too naïve to see it. 

When Keyanna met Donovan in college he was the perfect gentleman. He was smart, athletic, and a straight A student. Donovan Masters, she thought was her perfect compliment. He was six feet two inches and was considered bright skinned or high yellow as his friends called him. He wore his hair close cut and he had a gorgeous smile that made women week at the knees. Donovan always dressed to impress and made sure he smelled good. Keyanna was absolutely beautiful. Her skin was a little lighter than the color of honey and she had the most exotic looking brown eyes. They were shaped like almonds and gave her an almost asian appearance. Her hair was naturally curly, she wore it in a bun most of the time but when she wore it down it would reach the middle of her back. Keyanna, because of her exotic looks and smooth complexion was always defending her African American heritage. Her friends would argue that she was mixed race but Keyanna maintained that it was just good genes inherited from her parents. Keyanna was a well rounded student and athlete. She was an excellent volleyball player and she worked very hard to maintain her straight A average. Everyone who knew them thought they were meant to be together. 

They met in an English class they had together. Keyanna would arrive early as she did for all her classes. She was getting her books and other materials out of her back pack when she heard the sexiest voice echoing in the classroom. Keyanna looked up at Donovan and actually said out loud to herself, "Thank you Jesus for making something that fine." She was so lost in watching Donovan that she dropped the book and pens she was getting out of her backpack.

Donovan was talking to one of his classmates when he walked into his English class. He was laughing at his friend's tale about his date last night right before he looked into the prettiest pair of eyes he'd ever seen. Donovan's mouth went dry immediately. He had heard rumors about the beautiful Keyanna Adams, but seeing her in person put what he had heard to shame. She was gorgeous, and the honey color of her skin made her look even sexier. The dog in Donovan wanted her naked under him screaming his name, but that could wait. He wanted to win her over and charming her panties off of her was about to begin now. He walked over to her desk bent down and retrieved the book that had fallen along with the pens. 

"Let me get that for you," Donavan said in a smooth tenor voice. 

"Oh no, I can get it, you don't have to do that," Keyanna replied her tone clearly flustered with Donovan being so close so suddenly. 

"I don't mind, besides it's my pleasure to assist someone so beautiful," Donovan said with a wink. 

Keyanna blushed, "Thank you," she replied with a smile. 

"There you go," he said as he handed her things back to her. "My name is Donovan," He said and extended his hand to her. 

"I'm Keyanna, pleasure to meet you Donovan," Keyanna replied and extended her hand to shake Donovan's. Donovan took Keyanna's hand turned it and placed a kiss on it and at the same time replied, "The pleasure is all mine." Donovan smiled as he noticed Keyanna blushing again.

The teacher came in and Donovan released Keyanna's hand and went to his seat. 

Operation 'Get the girl' was in full effect. Donovan felt the attraction that was palpable between the two of them and it seemed as though they were the only ones in the room. From the moment of introduction until they graduated and began their careers as lawyers they were inseparable. They were both ambitious and pushed each other to be the best that they could be. 

Donovan was a law major as well as Keyanna. They both excelled but for Keyanna the accolades were overwhelming. She was beautiful, smart, and the best in her class. She was definitely one to watch. Donovan knew this and decided that if he couldn't be the best then he will be with the best and ride her coat tails if necessary. 

Keyanna didn't want to be popular, or draw attention to herself. She worked hard if not twice as hard as anyone else. She felt like she was always in a position to have to prove herself beyond her beauty. Once people saw her they treated her well simply because she looked like a walking, talking, wet dream, to some, and America's next top model to others. She had been approached countless times to model everything from swimsuits to lingerie. Keyanna just wasn't interested in that. She didn't want people to cater to her because of her looks or her body. She wanted to be respected because she had a brain and wasn't afraid to work hard for what she wanted. She wouldn't allow anything to just be handed to her; she wanted to earn it fair and square. 

Donovan on the other hand was quite the opposite. He at first was okay with being with Keyanna because she looked good. Her looks got her invited to the hottest on campus parties, to VIP in the hottest clubs and even to the skybox at a couple of sporting events. Donovan was as smart as they come. His family wasn't well off so to get into college he had two options, play sports or go the academic route. He has been a hustler since the 5th grade and could talk his way out of anything thanks to the teaching he got from his father who gambled and his grandfather who was a womanizer. They considered themselves good teachers and Donovan was like a sponge soaking up all they had to say all the while co-mingling what they said with the things his mother taught him about respecting women and being a good citizen. 

Donovan decided to put all of the advice in one big melting pot and from this he came up with what he called 'Donavan's Doctrines'. These "doctrines" would be the outline for how he would achieve the status he wanted in life and he wanted the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Donovan used sports to his advantage and put his understanding of academia to work for him. He bought and sold video games, comic books, watches, wallets, and school supplies. If you needed it "the Don" as they called him in middle school had it. When Donovan got to high school he became a triple threat in sports. He was the number one ranking high school running back, short stop in base ball and forward in basketball. Every year during Donovan's time in high school they won championships in the all three sports. Donovan also passed all of his classes and was valedictorian of his senior class. At recruiting time "Donovan's Doctrine" was in full effect. He skillfully manipulated and used people to achieve his desired outcome. He managed a full ride academic and sports scholarship that he managed to get legally binded so that the school couldn't renege. 


Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 02



This is a continuation of the phone call from chapter one. The story picks up on from the first night in the hotel and continues to the arrangement of their first meeting. Then it goes through the eight months alluded to in chapter one and comes back to the present. I would like to give my sincere apologies to all who read chapter one. It was not my intention to start this story and then leave it hanging for so long. I have had a lot of things happen that set me back. I have had some health concerns that were more pressing and required my time and focus, but I am doing better. I used to consider authors leaving stories undone a pet peeve and then I became one of those authors. (That will teach me..lol) Again I apologize for the long, long, long, long, loooong wait and will do my absolute best at not leaving you hanging again. I hope I have clarified the time line and that this chapter meets your expectations.

"Hi Keyanna, It's nice to put a voice with the picture you sent me," Kevin said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I can safely say that your picture is not at all what I thought you looked like," Keyanna said sounding animated as she spoke. "I pictured a lonely guy with glasses, a plaid shirt, pocket protectors and a geeky haircut," Keyanna said laughing at her description. 

"Ouch that hurt! Was I really that lame? And here I am thinking that my game was tight even online," Kevin said biting back a laugh. 

"You were an unexpected sight to behold. In my mind you were a middle aged bookworm complete with glasses, flannel pajamas, a terrycloth bathrobe, rollers and thick, very thick glasses!" Kevin said as he laughed out loud at his ridiculous description.

"Damn, all you were missing in that description was fat and a face full of acne! I thought my sexiness was oozing across the internet and streaming into your computer," Keyanna said as they both fell into a fit of laughter. 

"So Kevin," Keyanna recovered "How does a handsome man like yourself end up working behind a desk, on a drawing, and running around wearing a hard hat on construction sites where no one can see you?"

"Well, I always had a penchant for drawing. Stuff like building, designs, and seeing my work come to life from a simple drawing is gratifying to say the least. I have always been intrigued by it so that's what I chose to study," Kevin explained.

"Wow that is a mouthful. I am impressed. I know nothing about buildings other than how to get in get out and find the important areas like the bathrooms and the cafeteria," Keyanna replied.

"Well then I have a lot to teach you grasshopper," Kevin said with a chuckle. "So Keyanna, why law?" 

"Well, I wanted a challenge. Not that being a doctor, engineer, dentist or CIS major didn't pose a challenge. I was drawn to the fact that I could help people by using the law and due process in the right way to help good people who just made bad decisions" Keyanna replied thoughtfully. 

"So you're really passionate about it?" Kevin asked.

"Yes, I am. I love it. The people I get to meet, the unique cases I get to argue in court, and the sheer satisfaction of winning a case for someone who truly deserves to have something good happen to them. If I had to do it all again I think I would still choose law." 

"Are your parents proud of what you do?" 

"Proud is an understatement. My mom tells everyone she meets about her daughter the attorney, and my dad just walks around with his chest stuck out like a proud rooster whenever I come home. My brothers are proud but to them I am still just baby sis. They are always very over protective, I love them though. What about you Kevin? Do your parents brag about their architectural genius" Keyanna asked. 

"Actually I was uh, raised by my aunt and uncle. My parents died when I was around two and I don't remember anything about them." 

"Kevin, I am so sorry. I-" 

"Don't worry about it. You didn't know; besides I had a great childhood. My aunt and uncle made sure I went to the best schools, had nice clothes, a roof over my head and that I was a well rounded person. They always told me that my parents loved me and made sure that I knew who they were and what I meant to them." 

"If you don't mind me asking, how did your parents die?"

"My aunt said that there was an outbreak of some kind that killed a lot of people. It was one that there was no cure for; and well my parents ended up being infected by one of my siblings and passed away from the disease." 

"So you are not an only child?"

"No I was told that I had two brothers and two sisters all of which were victims of the outbreak."

"How were you not infected?"

"My aunt says that my mother sent me away as soon as she learned one of my brothers had the disease. My aunt and uncle lived In California while the outbreak happened in Texas."

"Oh my God Kevin, That is sad. I don't know what life would be like without those bullies I call brothers."

"Well it's good you will never have to know." Kevin said as he thought over whether he should mention his vampire heritage to Keyanna. He figured he'd wait. He didn't want to scare her off. They had been cyber friends for that last four years and talking to her seemed to solidify the friendship they formed.

"Do you know your parents names?" Keyanna asked allowing her curiosity to get the better of her.

"My uncle had a picture of him and my father together, He said my father's name was Kyros and my mothers' name was Myra and that I take after my father who apparently was very mild and not easily provoked."

"Kyros? That's an unusual name. I bet your father would be proud of you. I bet you would have been a mama's boy too" Keyanna giggled trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah probably, I do tend to favor my aunt over my uncle." Kevin said amused. "Enough about me, let's talk about you and your home life. I've cleared my schedule so out with it."

Well where I start. Keyanna got comfortable on the bed, She stretched out on her back, rested her head on a pillow. She held the phone with her left hand while absently playing with her hair with her right hand as she began to tell Kevin about her courtship, marriage and current attempt at leaving her husband Donovan. 

Kevin listened on the other end of the phone. He was perplexed at his reaction to what he was hearing Keyanna describe to him in detail the things she endured at the hands of the man she called her husband. He was angered to point that he was pacing the floor of his apartment, his eyes black and his fangs extended. Kevin considered himself even tempered. He has heard of things like this happening to women but hearing that it happened to Keyanna seemed to set something off in him. It was like waking a sleeping beast. He wanted revenge he wanted Donovan to pay for the pain he caused Keyanna; But why? He had never laid eyes on her until tonight. Before now all they did was exchange lengthy chats about random subjects never anything of importance. Once or twice they mentioned how hectic their lives were and how they looked forward to their chats but that was as personal as it got. They were just cyber buddies, kindred souls that happened to be fans of the same author. So why in the hell was he seething with anger towards a man he will probably never meet, about things done to a woman who up till tonight he only knew as exotic vampress? This wasn't making sense to Kevin. He kept pacing as Keyanna continued to tell Kevin more things that he realized he didn't want to know. He kept pacing. Kevin realized that the pacing was the only thing keeping him calm, that and the fact that this beast lurking inside of him was lulled by the sound of Keyannas' voice. 

Keyanna had reached the end of her story which concluded with them arriving at this conversation they were having now.

"When you asked me to call you and said you had time I decided to take a chance." She finished. 

There was silence on the other end of the line. Kevin was at a loss for what to say. "How do you reply to that," he asked himself. 

Keyanna sensed his apprehension and let him off the hook, "its okay Kevin. You don't have to say anything. Honestly it feels good to have someone to share this with. It's a lot for a person to carry around for years you know?"

"I can't imagine what you must be feeling Keyanna. You are a very strong person. You were going through all of that, still trying cases, and giving one hundred percent at work, that is pretty amazing," Kevin replied.

"I never looked at it like that." Keyanna said as she swiped away a tear. "Thanks Kevin, I really needed this tonight. The talk I mean. I just—" Keyanna pause as she began to cry.

"Shhhh, Keyanna. Don't you dare cry over what that bastard has done to you. He doesn't deserve your tears. Hey I tell you what. I have got to make a few phone calls and grab me a something to drink and you clearly need a minute, so why don't we break and I will call you back in about 30 minutes," Kevin suggested 

"Sure. I need to go to the little girl's room anyway. Would want you hearing all of that now would we?" Keyanna chuckled. 

"No thanks on that, maybe next time though," Kevin laughed. I will talk with you soon"

"Ok, talk to you later"

"Alright, bye"

"Bye"

Keyanna pressed the end call button on her phone and curled up on her bed and cried until her head ached. She finally got up went to use the restroom and called room service to see if they had any aspirin.

She thought about Donovan and what she was going to do. He was out of the country finishing up an acquisition overseas and would be gone for the next five months. Mr. Sinclaire started sending Donovan to handle acquisitions personally to give Keyanna a break to so she could think clearly. It worked out as she came clean to Mr. Sinclaire and confided to Kevin who was rapidly becoming her favorite person. Keyanna knew the moment she heard Kevins' voice that she was gonna like him. There were several times when they first started talking she would stare at her computer and imagine that they were video chatting instead of on the phone. Kevin's voice was a nice cool bass. It seemed to reverberate through the phone line. Keyanna found her mind wondering at times wondering how that vibration would feel on her nether region. The thought made her hot. She could feel the throbbing between her legs. "I really need to cool off," she said as she shook her head to clear her thoughts. She was moving way too fast. For all she knows he probably has a girlfriend. "I know one thing, " Keyanna said out loud to herself "there's no way in hell I could have a man that damn fine and not be all over him," she shook her head at herself as she headed to the bathroom. 

Kevin sat down on his sofa, sat back, dropped his head back and stared up at the ceiling. He put his hands behind his head, took a breath and sighed. "She is a piece of work." Kevin muttered to himself. He got up and walked back over to his desk and pulled up Keyanna's picture again. She looked absolutely beautiful. Her skin was honey colored with a gold tone to it. Her hair was straight in her picture and hung to her shoulder with blond looking highlights and those eyes. They were like a cross between hazel and green and the shape of them made her look as if she part Asian. Not that it mattered she was gorgeous and he hoped single. He wondered if he had never seen her would he be thinking of pursuing her. Yes he decided. They chatted consistently over the last four years and they flirted a lot during those chats. Whenever they were online they always were in the private chat until they set up their IM and kept in touch that way. It was almost like they were dating. They IM'ed their good mornings, and wished each other a good day, they communicated back on forth during lunch and also in the evenings. If they had a chance they would even wish each other good night. There was even the one time they exchanged erotic stories. If Kevin were honest he was attracted to Keyanna even before her saw her. There were times when he was out on dates and would be wondering what she was doing. He even stroked himself to images of what he thought she looked like. Now looking at her picture he is pleased to know that she is even more beautiful that he could have imagined. And by the way his cock was straining against his jeans he guessed he was more attracted to her too. "I wonder if she would be up for a little fun?" he said to himself as he proceeded to make his calls on the way to the kitchen to get his drink.

Donovan

Donovan was pacing in his hotel room as he listened to the phone ring and Keyannas' answering machine pick up again for the fifth time.

"Where in the fuck is she?" He fumed. He took a deep breath and ran his hand across his face. He hung his cell phone up and tossed it onto the bed. He enjoyed his time away from Keyanna but that didn't mean he wanted her doing the same. Donovan knew Keyanna was a dutiful wife after all he had plenty of insurance that said that she would be for as long as he wanted her to be. Truthfully he was growing tired if her but couldn't decide what to do about it. While the Sinclaire Firm was great he wanted more. Donovan wanted more money, more power and more women. He wanted to be the one who called the shots. Keyanna, he would keep as a plaything. Hell, she was hot. The kind of hot that made men and women want to be with her and he had the videos to prove it. He smiled as he thought back to the last ménage a tois he had forced his lovely wife into. 

Keyanna struggled and pulled as hard as she could. The restraints on her wrists and ankles were tighter than necessary. Donovan knew he didn't need them as tight but he wanted her to hurt a little. 

"There's nothing like a little pain mixed with pleasure is it my sweet?" he whispered in Keyanna's ear while pinching her nipple painfully hard.

"Don't fight love, just enjoy it. I know we will, wont we?" he said as he took the hand of his whore he brought home just for this little tryst and kissed it. Donovan kissed the woman and ran his thumb over her already erect nipples then told her "get to work I want to see you make her cum." 

"My pleasure," the whore replied, "I'm gonna enjoy making this bitch scream, maybe I can make her pussy squirt too. Would you like that daddy?" She said to Donovan with a sexy smile splayed across her lips. 

"I'd love that. Enough talking get to work and do what I brought you here to do," Donovan said to his slut with a smack on the ass. 

With she sauntered over to the bed bent down and took Keyanna's nipple into her mouth. Donovan watched with his cock in his hand as his whore for the evening, some nameless tramp he picked up at a clients office party, licked and kissed Keyanna's breasts and rubbed her clit causing Keyanna to cry and beg him to stop this. 

"Donovan, stop her please?" Keyanna pleaded, "don't do this, please don't do this," Keyanna cried talking to Donovan's whore. 

Donovan was stroking himself as he watched. He loved to hear Keyanna beg. At the office she was top bitch but here at home he could knock that ass down a couple of notches. In his mind she needed a daily reminder that it was him that was running shit and not her. She needed to know her place and he was just man to show her where it was. He had starting to leak as he watched the whore kiss and suck her way down Keyanna's body to her pussy. When she began to lick and suck on Keyanna's clit he couldn't take it anymore; Donovan moved behind the whore and thrusted his full length into her all at once. She gasped at the sudden invasion but kept he mouth firmly latched to Keyanna's pussy. 

Donoavan taunted his wife as he fucked his whore, "Let go Keyanna baby, cum in her mouth," he chuckled "don't you see she's thirsty honey, go ahead and give her something to drink love." He fucked his whore harder causing her to grunt into Keyanna's pussy and she ate her. 

"Please, don't do this," Keyanna beg her tears flowing in earnest as she tried to fight off the orgasm that was she felt coming. She struggled more and tried to buck the woman off of her but the whore had a good grip on her and was feasting on her as if she were desperate to taste her sweetness. Donovan laughed to himself when he remembered the scream that erupted from Keyanna when her orgasm overtook her reluctant body. 

"No, no, no, no-no-no-no-nooo!" she screamed through her tears as her orgasm hit her, "I hate you! I hate you, I hate you; I fucking hate you," Keyanna chanted over and over again amidst her sobs as her orgasm subsided.

Donovan came in his whore as he listened to Keyanna chant how she hated him. He pulled his cock out of the whore and unlatched the restraints and pulled Keyanna's limp weeping body from the bed and threw her out the room. Before he closed the door he kneeled down in front of her and lifted her chin so that she was looking at him and said, "you may hate me but you can't leave me, you are here to stay my pet and you will continue to do what I say when I say and with whom I say."

He smiled and ran his thumb over her trembling bottom lip and then kissed her. Keyanna was repulsed by the gesture and vomited as soon as Donovan's lips connected with hers. Donovan jumped back gagging and spitting Keyanna's vomit from his mouth. 

"Dammit bitch," he said as he grabbed her by her hair and slammed her head into the wall denting the sheet rock behind her. Donovan got up and spit one last time on Keyanna and left her bleeding and laying in her own vomit.

Donovan shook himself out of his revelry and focused on the impending meeting with the chairman and CEO of Aganon Law Office. It was almost time to go so he called the front desk and asked to have a car ready for him. He checked himself in the mirror, straightened his tie, fastened his blazer, grabbed his phone off the bed and headed out of the door. 

**********************

Eldon Raynes

Eldon Raynes had contacted Donovan while he was there in China. It was getting close to time for the new King of the vampires to make his ascension to the throne. The interim King was only set to rule until the True King reached the age where he would become King even if he wasn't aware that he was royalty. Normally the next king would be of the bloodline of the original king; a son or daughter if no sons were born to the current king. He would have been trained from infancy to take his place as king when he was 25. He would rule under the mentorship of the former king until his one hundredth birthday at which time he would ascend and become the true king. He would inherit the wisdom, power, and gifts of the kings that came before him and if he were mated he would inherit her gifts as well as his mate inheriting his. There was only one way the true king could not ascend and that was if he and the former king were dead and there were no other living heirs. 

Eldon had been searching for Kyros W. Sinclair since he watched him kill his father when he was a child. His father's attempt at getting rid of the king and his children failed and ended with his own death. Eldon learned from his father's mistakes and planned to succeed and become king. Eldon knew that Kyros was still alive as was his youngest son Kevin. He just didn't know where they were. The last link they had to Kevin's whereabouts was a shifter who had been found dead in a field near Las Vegas. He started his search there and had no luck. After the king disappeared the council placed an interim king in place to rule until the ascension. With only several months left until Kevin turned one hundred the search was intensified. Eldon checked out every Sinclair he ran across. This current Sinclaire had a different spelling of his name but Eldon took no chances and would leave no stone unturned to find Kyros. 

Eldon had learned of Donovan Masters when he was in China a few months ago. He had come to see how research was going at the pharmaceutical company he owned. Donovan had been the lawyer working for the Sinclaire firm who was representing the seller of the company who was vampire. Eldon did the acquisition himself hoping that Weldon Sinclaire himself would be in the driver's seat of the transaction. To Eldon's disappointment he found that he wasn't. Eldon then sent one of the other partners to finish up while he got a lovely blow job from one of the ladies on the hotel staff. Later that evening on his way to dinner he overheard one of the hotel staff talking about the noise coming from one of the suites on the 26th floor. "It sounds like he is torturing the poor girl," he heard the woman pushing the cart say, "I didn't know what to do so I got the hell off of that floor," she whispered to the lady walking with her. Eldon was intrigued at hearing this so he vanished after he walked around the corner towards the elevator and appeared in the 26th floor. He could hear the animalistic grunting coming from one of the rooms. Eldon walked down the hall putting his ear near each door until he got to the door where the noise was coming from and stopped. He vanished into the room and remained invisible as he watched a man ravishing a poor woman's asshole while she was bound at the wrists, bent over a table where her ankles were bound to the legs of the table. There was a rope that led from the cuffs on the woman's wrists to an anchor that was screwed into the other end of the table. Her mouth was covered with the man's hand as he repeatedly rammed his cock in and out of her red and bruised asshole. The woman suddenly fell silent and was no longer crying. At some point during all of the brutal fucking she passed out and was now moving with the force of every thrust from the mystery man. Having seen enough Eldon vanished to the front lobby where he approached the front desk and compelled the clerk to tell him about the the guest in the suite on the 26th floor. The clerk obediently gave Eldon the information he asked for. The mystery man was Donovan Masters of the Sinclaire Firm. "Perfect," he thought. This was his chance to get more information on the elusive Weldon Sinclaire. 




Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 02



From that moment on Eldon kept tabs on Donovan. He found out that he was married, no children and was brutal womanizer. He had also heard that his wife was a vision of beauty, something that he wanted to see firsthand. He set up a meeting with Donovan as soon as he heard he was going to be back in China. Eldon was prepared to offer Donovan the moon especially if his information could lead him to Kyros. 

Eldon was in his office waiting for word of Donovan's arrival, "I will find you Kyros, you won't get away this time," he mused. A knock at the door brought him out of his thoughts. 

"Yes, come in," he called out. 

"Sir Mr. Masters is here," Eldon's assistant Dylan said as he opened the door and stepped in with Donovan following. 

"Mr. Masters, please come in and have a seat," Eldon said motioning toward one the chairs sitting in front of his desk. 

Donovan came in and greeted Eldon, "how are you Mr. Raynes? It's nice to meet you finally. I am a huge fan of your work," Donovan gushed already kissing ass in anticipation of getting what he wanted.

"Would you like something to drink Mr. Masters?" Dylan asked

"Yes, please a scotch on the rocks, thank you," Donovan replied

Eldon just sat watching Donovan during his exchange with Dylan. He was a self confident fool and was going to be the source of his own undoing. Eldon needed information and was prepared to extract it from him by force if need be but he didn't expect the stroke of good luck that was about to strike. 

Donovan took a sip of his drink and looked around the office. He spotted a picture of Mr. Sinclaire standing with some woman in a picture on the mantle over the fireplace. He got up from his chair and walked over to the picture and turned to Eldon and said "so how do you know Mr. Sinclaire? And who's this lady he's with?"

Eldon got up from his chair and walked over to the fireplace and took the picture down and told Donovan "He and my father were good friends. How is Ky- um Mr. Sinclaire?"

"He's doing well. Maybe even better depending on how this meeting goes," Donovan said to Eldon with a wink. 

"Ah, yes. I've heard that you are quite the head hunter when it comes to acquiring land and real estate. The work you have done for Mr. Sinclaire is almost legendary. I-," Eldon hesitated enjoying Donovan being on the edge of his seat, "I have an opening in my lands and acquisitions department. I need someone to head up the department and take it to the next level," Eldon concluded.

"You did say head up the department, as in run the place and call all the shots?" Donovan said standing up and pacing the floor of Eldon's office. 

"Yes, Donovan," Eldon replied as he stood and walk around to the front of his desk and leaned on it putting his hands into his pocket, " I am offering you the opportunity to be the Chairman of the lands and acquisitions department." Eldon replied smiling at Donovan's obvious excitement about the offer.

"When will you need me to start?" Donovan asked only seeing dollar signs. He would move to China in a heartbeat if the price was right. Donovan was getting ahead of himself he knew but he couldn't help it. 

"Let's do a trial run of sorts. I've had my eye on some land near a pharmaceutical plant that I own and the owner is- how shall I say um, reluctant to sell it to me at a reasonable price. If you can get me that land you can have the job. Everything you need will be delivered to your hotel room. Tomorrow I will have an office set up for you to use. You will have access to my offices, staff and research, with limits of course; we wouldn't want information leaked to Mr. Sinclaire now would we Donovan?" Eldon said.

"Of course not Mr. Raynes. So how long do I have to get you your land?" Donovan asked. 

"You will have one month for research and another to hand me the deed. No deed, no chairman position it's that simple Mr. Masters. What say you Donny boy, are you up for the challenge?"

"Absolutely, Mr. Raynes," Donovan replied coolly as he stood and extended his hand toward Eldon. Eldon took the extended hand and shook it. 

Donovan tightened his grip on Eldon's hand and leaned forward with a smirk on his face and said "You might want to get your decorator ready; I will be picking out the colors for my office in two months." With that said he release Eldon's hand and turned to leave the office. 

"Good night Mr. Raynes," Donovan said over his shoulder as he strode out of the door leaving Eldon standing at his desk smiling.

"A good night indeed, Mr. Masters," he said to himself with smile. 

He called to Dylan telepathically "Dylan I need to go to Georgia for a few hours to follow up on a lead. Make sure that Mr. Masters has all that he needs for the Yi Qua land acquisition. Also furnish the corner office and assign an assistant to Mr. Masters he will be arriving for work in the morning."

"Yes sir Mr. Raynes. Did you have anyone in mind to be Mr. Masters assistant?" Dylan asked. 

"Angela will be perfect. That whore will fuck anyone or anything plus she is excellent at her job. I'm sure she'll love Donovan Masters," Eldon replied to Dylan with chuckle.

"Very well sir, see you when you return." Dylan said and began to dole out instructions telepathically to the rest of the staff.

Eldon stood up at his desk and vanished. "Time to pay Kyros or should I say Mr. Weldon Sinclaire a visit."

Keyanna & Kevin

Kevin was lying across his bed listening to Keyanna's phone ring. Just when he thought the answering machine was going to pick up she answered. "Hello." She said her voice sounding like music to his ears.

"Hi there, are you better now?" Kevin asked. "Yes I am. It's amazing what shower and a snack can do," Keyanna replied crawling onto her bed and laying back on the pillows. 

"Tell me about it," Kevin replied. "So now that you have decided to leave. What are you going to do? You do have a plan right?" 

"Well not exactly. I have been saving money but he never left me alone long enough to look for a place to stay. He didn't care about me being on Yvray's site because it was something I did even back in college. I stay so busy at work that I don't have time to even think about things like that," Keyanna rambled.

"Look, there are some apartments I designed and built right outside of Savannah. They are more like luxury condos. They come equipped a security system and a panic room I think I have a few corporate units that are already furnished." 

"Seriously? A panic room? Who needs a panic room? Keyanna asked sarcastically "I don't know Kevin it seems like a lot to ask. I know we've been cyber friends for over four years but seeing as how we just officially met I don't know if I can let you do that."

This weekend at the hotel was wonderful. She knew she wasn't going to go back home but she didn't have anywhere else to go and here was her new BFF offering her a place to stay. 

"I will make a deal with you. I will go to your condos if you let me pay rent. It's the least I could do." She said.

"No payment. I'm not having any of that. We have basically dated each other over the last four years and now I am offering to help and I want nothing in return."

"I want to give you something Kevin, to say thank you." 

"I have something in mind but we can explore that later," Kevin said with a laugh.

"You are so nasty, Kevin you need a whoopin," Keyanna replied giggling. 

"If you only knew," Kevin replied his voice betraying him and giving away that he was aroused at the thought of what Keyanna could give him in return for staying in one of his condos

"Now you have me curious," Keyanna said slyly, "what is it that I could give you in return for you helping me?"

"Well, it's not exactly something that can be done over the phone," Kevin replied his voice low. 

"What is it you want to do that can't be done over the phone?"Keyanna asked her voice low and sexy. 

"It involves you, me and neither of us wearing anything," Kevin said "there's a lot of moaning and you say my name a lot," Kevin said chuckling at what he said. 

"Kevin, please don't think I am a slut but I was attracted to you even before I saw you. When you sent me your picture and profile I was even more so. It has been a long time since I have been physically attracted to a man," Keyanna hesitated "I would give anything to have someone to make love to- where my orgasm is for our mutual pleasure and not for amusement or power." 

"Keyanna, I hope that I get to be that guy. I would love to help you relieve all of your frustrations. Whenever you are ready let me know and I will come to where you are."

"Since you can't get here tonight, I guess I will have to take care of myself," Keyanna replied.

"Damn tease," Kevin said "How am I supposed to sleep with thoughts of you touching yourself running through my head all night?"

"I don't know but when we talk tomorrow you let me know how that works out," Keyanna laughed.

Keyanna changed the subject "Tomorrow is Saturday, is it possible that I could go and take a look at the condo? I want to get my things out of the house while Donovan is out of town. I may not get another chance after tomorrow. He is not due back in town for a while and I don't want to be anywhere around when he comes home." 

I can arrange for the property manager to let you in. Let me know what time you want to go over and I will have him on standby. Do you want a furnished or unfurnished?" Kevin asked. He was already online instant messaging the property manager about Keyanna pending arrival. The staff at the condo was a mix of vampire and werewolf. The vampire staff kept the place running smoothly over night and the werewolf staff during the day. They all worked well together and kept the property in tip top shape. Keyanna was mulling over her choice. With help she could get her things out of the house before Donovan gets back. She only wanted a few pieces of furniture, her clothes, toiletries, family pictures and a few legal documents she kept in the safe she had installed in her room. 

"I think I would like and unfurnished condo. I have some furniture I want to get and I would like to make the place my own at least until I can buy me a house and be safe. Speaking of safe I know I cracked you about it earlier but do the unfurnished condo's come with a panic room? I mean just in case he finds out where I moved to" Keyanna said her voice trailing off at the end. She was terrified of Donovan. She has been on the receiving end of his wrath and her not being there and her things being gone is going to make him murderous. She wanted to be brave but she just couldn't. He was stronger, bigger and he definitely hit harder than her. The panic room would ensure that even if he got into the condo he wouldn't get to her.

"Yes a few of them do. I will make sure the manager shows you all three floor plans. No matter which one you choose Keyanna, you will be safe; even If I have to move to Georgia and see to it myself. We have a very skilled security force and I will be sure that they place extra staff on duty once you move in." Kevin replied doing his best to ease Keyanna's fears. He was pacing again and his instinct to protect was even stronger now. His urge to keep her safe was now consuming him. Kevin chalked the feeling up to wanting to help a friend; but still that wasn't it. He wanted her safe, cared for, protected. It almost as if she was- "oh shit! " Kevin said as he ran a hand through his hair and plopped down in to the chair at his desk.

"Kevin? What's wrong?" Keyanna said sounding panicked. 

"Keyanna I --" Kevin didn't even know where to start. She was his mate! He was thankful to the fates for giving him such a brilliant and beautiful mate but with all that she has been through what if she doesn't want to be him? Then there is the whole vampire thing and let's not forget still married at the moment. "I just got some interesting news is all. It has nothing to do with the condo or getting you moved. It was just unexpected. Keyanna with all that you have been through, do you think you will want to be anyone again?" As soon as the questions left his lips Kevin found himself holding his breath as he waited for the answer he thought was coming.

"Honestly, Yes. Donovan is one man in a sea of many. I can't live my life believing that one bad apple spoiled the bunch. I think I could be with someone again. The thing is whether they will want me after I tell them why the marriage ended. People tend not to want damaged goods, you know?" replied Keyanna. "If you don't mind my saying Kevin, if you were single I would give you a shot in a heartbeat. You already know me; we have so much in common and you didn't judge me after I told you everything. That meant a lot to me or maybe it's that I have forgotten what it feels like to have someone care for me and want to protect me. It feels good. Thank you for that." Keyanna stated sincerely. 

"Keyanna there is no need to thank me. I am simply doing for you what I would if I was the lucky guy in your life. From the time I heard your voice I have been enamoured with you. All I have done since you opened up to me is try to figure out how to get you to safety, keep you safe once you get there and wonder what I could do put a smile on that lovely face of yours all while beating shit out of that asshole husband of yours." Kevin said as stood from his chair and began to pace again.

Keyanna found herself wiping away tears at the thought of someone wanting that for her. She knew she liked Kevin even before seeing him. She liked him even more after she saw his picture. She was drawn to him when she heard his voice, even when they hung up earlier she didn't want him to go. Now here he was saying all the right things and making her cry. She wished she could see him in person and told him so "Kevin I want to see you. Not a picture. I want to see you in person. I want meet you formally and I owe you a hug for all that you are doing for me." 

"I hope you don't think I am a perv but Keyanna I don't think I could just hug you" Kevin said with a chuckle. "I am attracted to you Keyanna. You were a constant companion over the years and talking to you just solidified what I believe I already felt. We talked every day and night as if were were in a long distance relationship. I hated not hearing from you the times when you were away for days. Now knowing what it was that kept you away makes me angry. It also makes me feel guilty for all the times I would pout because you weren't on the other end of the instant messenger when I logged on." 

"I don't know what to say Kevin. I have to admit that I have some feelings that I pushed away time and time again when we would chat. Hearing from you was the highlight of my day, and my nights most of the time. I saved a lot of our conversations. I even kept the quick notes you would leave on the IM. They got me through a lot of the time. Just knowing that someone that I didn't know valued me and looked forward to hearing from me made me press on through my days. I guess I was more attracted to you that I realized." Keyanna replied thoughtfully.

"So are you saying I won't have to keep my hands to myself?" Kevin asked amused at where the conversation was going.

"Only if I don't have to keep mine to myself" Keyanna said with a smile. "Kevin if I go here with you will you be sure to let me know when you get tired of me?" 

"I don't think that is possible, but yes if that will make you feel better."

"It does." When and where are we going to meet?"

"I have several building projects that I am in the middle of. I won't have a free day for the next six months"

"Jeez, you can't possibly have a social life. How do you even find the time to be on the instant messenger?" 

"Most of my work in computer drafted using 3-d imagery. I am already on my computer working so when you get online and message me I work and talk with you at the same time."

"A mutli-tasker; I like a man that can do two things at one time."

"Woman you have no idea; I can't wait till we are face to face although I can't promise I won't bite."

"Now, now there my VampireKing, you have to earn a taste of my blood, dear. It is as exotic as I am and downright addictive. Do you think you could have a taste and not be addicted to it?" Keyanna asked seductively.

"That remains to be seen my ExoticVampress. Let's make a deal. When we meet, I can do whatever, whenever and wherever I choose. We start from the time you walk in and go from there."

"I like that. No talking until we done, ok?" Keyanna replied.

"Deal, I'm looking forward to it." Kevin answered with a smile.

**********************

Three months later....

Saturday after the call with Kevin came and went. It all seemed to be a blur. Keyanna loved the condo and hearing that Donovan was going to be gone an extra two months was the icing on the cake. Keyanna called Mr. Sinclaire and told him that she had a place and that she would be moving some of her things out of the house over next four months before Donovan got back in town. Mr. Sinclaire was happy for Keyanna. He offered to have a moving company move her but she declined. He had done so much for her already. He paid for the hotel for her and refused to let her pay for anything including meals or tips for the staff. In his mind she was his daughter and until her true mate or husband as humans called it showed up and took over caring for and protecting her he would take care of her himself. He made sure that there was nothing more he could do for her to assist with her transition. 

"Keyanna dear I swear it is not a burden cover the moving truck for you. I want to help, that's all" Mr. Sinclaire said. 

"it's ok really, you have gone above and beyond for me with everything, I appreciate the offer but I have plenty of money put away and I need to handle this part on my own" Keyanna replied.

Mr. Sinclaire finally relented after insisting that she call him immediately if she ran into trouble. Keyanna agreed that she would call. Before hanging up Mr. Sinclaire had some information for Keyanna. 

"Keyanna I just wanted to let you know that I have a contact at the bank where Donovan has the safe deposit box. They confirmed that it is pass code protected and will send him an alert if it is tampered with. We have another contact that could possibly get into it without tripping the alarm. It's risky but we will need the evidence he has in that box before we serve him with the divorce papers. I don't want you to worry about anything; we will have the contents of that box before he arrives back on US soil." Mr. Sinclaire said his tone firm but full of concern. 

Keyanna was relieved. Without those DVD's she would be chained to a life of misery and abuse. She was hopeful at best. Donovan prided himself on being two steps ahead of the enemy. Maybe this time those stupid doctrines would backfire on him for once. 

"Thanks for letting me know," Keyanna replied "it's at least a glimmer of hope. Mr. Sinclaire I can't begin to repay for all you have done for me" Keyanna began but was cut off.

"No, Keyanna I'll hear none of that. You deserve to be cherished, treated well, cared for and protected. I am doing no different for you that I would my own child and I am happy to do so. You concentrate on moving and let me worry about the rest," Mr. Sinclaire finished his tone indicating that he was through with the conversation.

They chatted a little while longer and ended the call. When moving day came a month later Keyanna had her work cut out for her. She had a lot to get done and she wanted to go ahead and get it out of the way. She started with what she wanted out of different areas of the house. She wasn't planning emptying the house she wanted to get her bedroom furniture; She had a separate room from Donovan. He never went into her room and he had never slept in the new bed with her, so in her mind it was untainted with unpleasant memories. She also wanted some of her pictures, her clothes, shoes, and personal items. The rest she could buy brand new as a symbol of her new start. Deitrick was a huge help. He went everywhere with Keyanna. Amelia, Mr. Sinclaires personal assistant also helped. With Donovan out of her life for the next five months Keyanna busied herself with moving and getting her condo set up the way she liked. She worked a very light load of cases in between all of it just to keep herself occupied. Keyanna got the last of her things took one last look around and walked out of the house. "Good riddance, Time to move on." She got into the car that was waiting for her and drove away headed to a better life. At least she hoped.




Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 02



Eldon

Eldon appeared at The Sinclaire Firm's entrance. He made himself invisible as he wanted to take a look around before revealing himself to Mr. Sinclaire. He walked into the lobby and was impressed with the décor. "Kyros, you have impeccable taste" he commented. He continued to wonder the first floor. In and out of the various offices he went taking in what he saw. Humans working side by side with other being that they thought only existed in books, movies and fairytales. If they only knew the truth, he mused as he disappeared from office into another. Eldon had planned to go from floor to floor, making it like a game of hide and seek. The thrill of finally locating the elusive Kyros W. Sinclaire had him vibrating with anticipation. Meanwhile the security picked up his presence and alerted Mr. Sinclaire that an unfamiliar vampire had entered the premises.

"Where is he now?" Mr. Sinclaire asked. "He is on the 8th floor atrium, our guy up there says he is just looking around" said the head of security.

"Let me know when he reaches the tenth floor, I don't want unfamiliar any further than that. I will go and greet our guest myself." Mr. Sinclaire said.

He knew that Eldon would be visiting. Amelia his personal assistant was a seer. She was one of many of his old coven that never lost their bond to Mr. Sinclaire even when he denounced his throne while grieving the death of his wife and children. It was Amelia that found him at the safe house in Colorado and told him what she saw in his future. How he had to keep going and form the Law Firm because he would employ his son and future kings mate. She also told him that he would one day confront the son of the vampire that killed his mate, children and almost wiped out the vampire race. Mr. Sinclaire sighed. The ascension was drawing close and he no idea where his son was and no idea who his son's mate was. He opened the firms' doors and hired some very beautiful and very talented lawyers. He thought a few times that he had connections with ladies he felt were great candidates for Queen, but they would either leave or be mated to another. The phone ringing brought him out of his revelry. Mr. Sinclaire answered the phone

"He is on the tenth floor" the voice on the other end of the phone said. 

Weldon disappeared from where he was "Let's get this over with then." 

Eldon had just arrived to the tenth floor and was about to enter an office when he felt a very powerful presence behind him. He turned slowly to face the vampire only to come face to face with the very object of his obsession. "Kyros, you old dog; this is where you have been hiding all this time." Eldon said with mock sweetness in his voice. 

"Eldon, I see you have not deviated to far from the path of your father." Weldon said doing away with the formalities. 

"Oh, Kyros" Eldon said putting his hand over his heart feigning hurt "you aren't happy to see me? I am certainly happy to see you. Why if it weren't for your former lands and acquisitions man then I wouldn't have known where to find you." He said with a smirk "Donovan masters is a piece of work. I am going to love having him as chairman of the lands and acquisitions at my firm." He said amused with himself.

"Save it Eldon, why are you here? It is against our laws to trespass on another's territory. You are in violation and I am within my rights to defend these premises. Leave now on your own or you will go injured by force" Kyros said totally bypassing that it was Donovan who ousted him and was conspiring with the enemy. He would deal with that little problem soon enough. 

"Fine, Kyros. I will leave but you will see me again. We have unfinished business, I am not my father and I will not repeat his mistakes. I will be the new king and your death will be my reward," Eldon said as he disappeared. 

Weldon extended his senses throughout the building, and beyond the perimeter of the city to ensure that Eldon was indeed outside of the territory of the reining Ambassador. 

He disappeared to his office where Amelia was waiting for him with a scotch on the rocks. "He came?" she asked simply.

"Yes, "was his simple reply. 

"Then it has begun."

"It has" 

"I hope Kevin and his mate are ready"

"They are more equipped then they know. Sir, his mate she is part psychic. "

"How do you know that?" 

I saw it last night, when the fates showed me who she is"

Weldon looked at Amelia surprised. The fates always showed her bits and pieces of events to come. The only time she saw specific people was when there was something major coming that involved the royal family. "Who is she?"

"Sir his mate is Keyanna."

Weldon drained the last of his scotch and set his glass down. He walked over to his chair that sat facing the fireplace and sat down. "Good. Very good" he said with a nod, "that will be all Amelia."

"Yes sir." Amelia said and vanished from the office to her apartment. "Now all we have to do is wait" she thought to herself. 

Four months prior to the first meeting...

The next four months came and went. Keyanna felt like she was dazed and in a fog most of the time. With the move completed, a new office and Donovan's pending arrival in the next month she felt like she was in suspended animation. The new office had a camera so she could see who came and went as they entered the doors in to the area she shared with two other junior partners at the law firm. She could lock her door from her desk with the push of a button and as a safety precaution there was a panic room and an alternate exit that led to Mr. Sinclaire's office and to the security console. Keyanna had also settled into her condo. She purchased and had living room and kitchen furniture delivered along with a desk, chair and hutch for her office since she also worked from home. Having her cable and internet installed was a breeze and the Condo's had free wifi so that was one less expense for her. Keyanna was set; the only thing she couldn't prepare for was the upcoming confrontation with Donovan. Weldon told Keyanna that there was a visitor from a rival firm who bragged about Donovan doing some moonlighting with their firm. 

"Keyanna if we find out that what we were told is true we will have to let Donovan go." 

"I understand do what you have to." Keyanna said as she walked through her condo to the panic room door. "I will be fine; he can't get in here without permission so no worries there." She said as she opened the door and went inside and closed the door behind her. 

"I just wanted you to know. I was also able to get a man inside the bank where Donovan's safety deposit box is. We will have all the contents of that box before the week is over. As soon as we have the dvd's and everything else he has on you we will proceed with the divorce."

"Thank you Mr. Sinclaire, I know I keep saying it but, owe you so much." 

"Nonsense; as I said before you are like a daughter to me, my reward is your happiness"

"Thank you, I gotta go I have another call coming in"

"Take care I will check on you later. Bye" Weldon said.

"Okay bye," Keyanna replied. 

Keyanna came out of the panic room and closed the door. She Clicked over and answered her other phone line.

"Hello" she answered

"Well now, how is it going baby? Are you missing big daddy?" Donovan said his voice oozing with sarcasm.

"Uh hi Donovan, umm how are you? How umm are you enjoying China" Keyanna stammered. 

"China has been good to me. So good in fact I am considering moving here." Donovan replied 

"Wow, moving to China. Um why all of a sudden?" Keyanna asked nervous.

"I like it here and so will you. We will discuss when we move when I get back next month. You need to start arranging for your resignation," Donovan said "you -- ow fuck! Hold on!" Donovan said.

Keyanna listed to the line that had gone silent contemplating on how to reply to the news that he was moving to China. She wasn't going anywhere, but she couldn't tell him that until Mr. Sinclaire had contents of that safe deposit box. 

"What the fuck did you bite me for?" Donovan yelled at Angela who was busy sucking his cock while he was talking to Keyanna. 

"I told you, no calling the wifey will I blowing you. You know how I hate to share." Angela replied as she bent down and placed a kiss on the head of Donovan's cock before taking him back into her mouth. 

"I will only be a minute, I promise. Then when I am done with this call I plan on fucking every hole this dick with fit into. Would you like that baby?" Donovan asked and he fucked Angela's mouth, " Hmmm shit girl you know how to suck a cock, ooh fuck baby." Donovan said as he held Angela's head while he fucked her mouth before returning to his call. 

While Keyanna was on hold she went to her office to go over one of her briefs. Her instant messenger was blinking with a message from Mr. Sinclaire.

W.S: Keyanna, we have the DVD's. We also have your marriage license, and a file full of photos. The stuff in the safe deposit box is the master copies. He has a list of places that he has copies. We have tracked down and retrieved all copies except what he has on his laptop. Does Donovan have another laptop other than the one we gave him? 

KMasters: No he said he didn't need one. He put all kinds of software on it to keep you from tracking what he does on it.

W.S: We know. We have a contract with the company that he brought his program from. They alerted us the moment he completed the installment. We have a failsafe installed on all our laptops to keep us from losing valuable information and to avoid breeches in security. Donovan is about to have a very unfortunate problem with his hard drive. 

KMasters: He is on the phone now. He says we are moving to China. What do I say; he is so certain that I am going with him.

W.S: Tell him you are not going and that you are leaving him. One of the firms' representatives will arrive at his hotel in the next few hours to give him his pink slip and serve him your divorce papers. I will talk with you later. I am certain that I will be hearing from him soon.

KMasters: Thanks, talk with you later.

Keyanna signed off and waited with nervously for Donovan to return to the phone. "Well here goes nothing." She said as she heard Donovan return to the line.

"Sorry about that babe. Are you excited about the move love?" Donovan asked his teeth clenched as he was trying to hold back his impending orgasm.

"No Donovan I am not excited. As a matter of fact I don't plan on moving to China at all. I won't be going anywhere with you now or in the future. It's over Donovan," Keyanna paused "I am leaving you and filing for divorce."

Donovan pushed Angela off of hi s cock. He stood up and fixed his clothes "What the fuck did you just say to me bitch?" 

"I said I am divorcing you, you asshole." Keyanna said angrily as tears burned her eyes.

"Are you fucking crazy? Bitch I will ruin you! Do you know who you are fucking with? Who the fuck do you think you talking to? You can't fucking leave me, bitch!" Donovan yelled into the phone.

"I can and I will. Fuck you Donovan! It's over motherfucker, find you some other bitch to be your pet, because I am done. I don't have to put up with your shit anymore you fucking asshole and I won't be there when you get back. Don't ever call me again you sick bastard."

"Keyanna I swear-"

"You swear what? Go to hell Donovan!" Keyanna said as she hung up her phone and sat down in her chair and cried. She was angry, relieved and scared all at once. It was finally going to be over. She needed to talk to Kevin. He calmed her. She needed him to be here with her but she would settle for a phone call for now.

"That bitch!" Donovan screamed as he threw his cell phone across the room. "Who the fuck does she think she is!" 

"She thinks she can just up and leave me?!" Donovan said talking to himself and pacing the room. He forgot that Angela was still there. She was in the kitchen getting them both something to drink. 

She came back into the living room and handed him a scotch on the rocks. 

Donovan took the glass and drained it passing it back to her for more. 

Angela waited on him patiently. She knew as long as he was attached to another he wouldn't feel the pull of mates. Angela knew the moment she met Donovan that he was hers and it was solidified the first time they fucked. She would wait until the end of the world to have him. 

Donovan drank down four glasses before he calmed. He walked up to Angela and grabbed by the head and kissed her hard while pressing his erection up against her. She put her arms around him and moaned into his mouth. Angela broke the kiss and took his hand to lead him to the bedroom but a knock at the door stopped them. 

"Who is it?" Donovan asked his tone terse.

"Ansen Baker sir" the person at the door replied. 

Donovan was expecting to have some paper work delivered to him that would complete the acquisition he was working on. He opened the door "yes, how I can help you?'

"I am Ansen Baker and I represent The Sinclaire Firm. Are you Donovan Masters?"

"Yes?" Donovan answered puzzled.

"I am here to let you know you are being dismissed as an employee of the Firm. As of this moment you have been terminated and I am also here to give you this." Ansen said.

"What the fuck? What the hell is this shit?" Donovan opened the papers and just stared at them.

"Mr. Masters you have been officially been served. Have a good evening." Ansen said as turned and walked away leaving Donovan standing in the doorway staring at a pink slip and divorce papers.

Donovan closed the door. He walked over to the phone and placed a call out of China to the US to his buddy at the bank. 

"Hi, Greg, this is Donovan. Look can you go check my safety deposit box for me. Yeah I'll hold" Donovan said as he sat down still numb from being served. He had leverage he thought. Enough to make her take back these damn papers and come back to him begging not to be ruined. 

"Hey. Yeah I am still here. What? How? What about the pass code? Fuck! Ok, yeah, later." Donovan hung up the phone. He put his head in his hand and rubbed it down his face. "I'm fucked. I don't know how she did it, but she won't get away with this shit. I am not going down without a fight." Just then Donovan remembered the copies on the hard drive of the laptop. He went to turn it on and it started leaking fluid that looked like melted metal. The laptop started smoking and sparks started coming out of it.  

"FUUUUUCK!!!" Donovan shouted. His last recourse was gone now he had nothing to fight with. 

"You win round one bitch." Donovan said his teeth clenched and nostril flaring in anger. 

"Sir, it's done. I just served him." Ansen said over the phone to Mr. Sinclaire. 

"Good job Ansen. Thanks for going on such short notice. Have a safe trip back." Mr. Sinclaire said as he hung up his phone. 

"Amelia set up a meeting with Keyanna. If what you saw is correct I need to tell her who and what I -- we are before we go any further. I don't want her caught off guard." 

"Yes sir. The female that is with Mr. Masters is his true mate. She cannot mate him until the divorce is final. They both will feel the pull of mates as soon as the divorce decree is issued; then it will be a matter of who mates first. Sir Donovan will be deadly once he is turned, if he and his mate bond before Keyanna and Kevin do then Keyanna's life will be in danger" 

"Thank you Amelia." Mr. Sinclaire nodded. Weldon stood up from behind his desk and grabbed his coat to leave the office for the day. He opened the door, turned off the lights and walked out. 

"Okay, Eldon. Your move." 

**********************

Keyanna & Kevin - present

Keyanna was still on cloud nine lying in Kevin's arms. So much had taken place and this was a much needed escape from the mess that was her life. She felt safe with Kevin; she sat up on one elbow to look at him. She was overwhelmed with a sense of belonging and love. She wasn't ready to admit the love part yet but she felt like she definitely belonged here. She was going to be spending the weekend with him and she was going to spend every moment of it in his arm if she could. Now that all of the nervousness was gone she was glad that she didn't chicken out. Keyanna didn't want the weekend to end. Her heart felt heavy and waves sadness hit her at the thought of being apart from Kevin. She pushed the feelings away and laid her head on his chest and listened to his steady breathing until she fell to sleep.

* 

Kevin was elated to be holding his mate. He knew she was looking at him so he kept his eyes closed and continued to breathe slow and steady. He felt the sadness in her and wondered what she was thinking that made her sad, but just as the feeling came it went away just as fast. He felt the warmth of her body pressed against him as she laid her head on his chest. He already loved his mate and wanted to yell it from the roof top, but first things first; he had to tell her what he was and then he needed to find Donovan and have a little chat with him. He put his arm around Keyanna protectively and breathed in her scent. Cocoa and vanilla washed over him confirming what he knew to be true. She was his forever.



Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 03



Here is the next installment of Keyanna and Kevin's story. I hope that you all enjoy it. I was hoping to lessen the time between posts but...I am in an awkward living position due to the loss of my home to a tornado in 2011. Unfortunately the mortgage company has not been cooperating and we have been forced to pursue legal action. I have had to do a lot of work for the case producing documents, pictures so forth and so on. I am working on finishing chapter 4, however it will be in between work, school, depositions and the such. Thank you all for your patience and for sticking with me. Thanks to Kalamazoo707 for beta reading it for me, though I did add to it afterwards (lol). Thanks also to kala for her encouragement...w/out it I never would have posted in the first place. Now without further ado... 

*

The weekend with Kevin was over too soon for Keyanna. She didn't want to be away from Kevin and it baffled her that she had become so attached so fast. She thought that maybe she was having what she called rebound feeling for him because he treated her so good compared to Donovan. She was getting dressed in a daze. Kevin was in the shower and Keyanna found herself staring off into space and daydreaming more often that she care for. Her thoughts and emotions seem to be all over the place and it was starting to work on her nerves. "Get it together dammit" she chastised herself for what seemed like the hundredth time, "I have to get to work and so does he; it's not like we won't see each other again". Keyanna got up off of the bed and began dressing. By the time she got her shoes on Kevin was out of shower and coming into the room to get dressed. She looked at him all wet with beads of water still on his chest and couldn't help the heat that was starting to build inside of her. She licked her lips and closed her eyes trying to will her body to behave. She opened her eyes to find Kevin watching her with a smirk quirking his lips and a semi-erect cock pressing against his towel. As if in a trance Keyanna walked towards Kevin intent on having her way with him one more time before check out. Keyanna walked up to Kevin and kissed him while reaching to remove his towel. Just when he deepened the kiss and placed his hands on her hips to pull her closer Keyanna's cell phone rang. "Dammit," she said against Kevin's lips, "let it ring," was Kevin's reply as he pulled Keyanna closer grinding against her with his aching stiffness. 

"I can't I have to be in court today and this could be about my case," Keyanna said taking a deep breath and a step back from Kevin's embrace. 

Kevin let her go with a low groan and proceeded to the closet to retrieve his clothes so he could get dressed. Keyanna went to the counter of the kitchenette where she sat her purse and rummage through it to find her phone. "Hello"

"Hi Keyanna this is Amelia, Mr. Sinclaire asked me to call and request that you meet with him today after you finish in court".

"Sure Amelia, is everything ok?" 

"Yes ma'am he needs to go over some information with you and wants to meet with you before certain things take place. Mr. Sinclaire will explain the rest when you arrive".

"Okay will do Amelia. Tell him I will see him around ten-thirty or eleven at the latest"'.

"Yes ma'am good day Mrs. Masters," 

"Good day to you too Amelia". 

Keyanna hung up her phone and put it back in her purse. Kevin came out the bedroom with their bags "You ready to go?" Kevin asked

"Ready as can be" Keyanna replied.

Kevin opened the door to find the bellhop waiting to take their bags. Kevin passed the bags to the bell hop who loaded them onto the waiting baggage cart. While their bags were taken down in the service elevator Keyanna and Kevin were left to proceed to the guest elevator. As they were walking down the hall Kevin felt the presence of another vampire. 'That's odd' he thought to himself. They came around the corner and nearly collided with Eldon Raynes. 

*

Eldon was startled. He wasn't expecting to see Keyanna with someone. The vampire he ordered to keep an eye on her said that he saw her come into this hotel and that she exited on this floor but he didn't mention that she had or was meeting company. Eldon could see that the photo's given to him didn't do her any justice at all. She was breath taking in person almost goddess like in appearance. Any man lucky enough to catch her attention would be envied and she would be a trophy to any that could snare her. Donovan was a fucking fool he decided. He had this goddess at home and he chose to lie with dogs. 'Imbecile' he thought to himself as he thought of Donovan's arrogance. He kept his eyes on Keyanna as she and Kevin proceeded to the elevator he had just exited. As the doors closed he didn't miss the flash in the eyes of the vampire she was with nor did he miss the possessive way he held her around waist and kissed her while watching him as the doors closed. 

*

Kevin could sense the vampire they practically ran into still staring at his mate. He didn't like it one bit and the beast in him was ready to kill the interloper for perusing his mate so blatantly. As they stepped onto the elevator Keyanna leaned forward to press the button Kevin's eyes flashed in warning to the staring vampire. When Keyanna stepped back Kevin put his arm around her waist and pulled her to him and kissed her. Keyanna closed her eyes but Kevin kept his open and on the other vampire until the doors closed. Kevin broke the kiss and murmured mine under his breath. He kept Keyanna pressed against him. He will have to find out who the vampire he just saw was but in the meantime he needed his mate to be safe until he could arrange to move his headquarters to Georgia. 

*

Donovan spent the last few months racking his brain about how Keyanna was able to outsmart him. As he dressed he kept going over different scenarios in his mind and he kept coming to the same conclusion. She had help. The DVD's and recordings in the safe deposit box were guarded by password and even if the password was guessed you had to have his key to get in. The only other person who had a key was the manger of the bank. How did she get him to her access? "Maybe she fucked him," he mused out loud with a chuckle "seems I was able to turn her uppity ass into a slut after all". Never the less the fact that she manage to get away from him and get to the copies of the recordings he had of her had him seething with anger. More than that she had the recordings of the women he had taken against their will. If she decided to press charges he was in deep shit. If she contacted the other women and talked them into pressing charges he was in even deeper shit. He would have to wait before he could return to the states. He had a few contacts he could make that could see if she was going to be gunning for him before he made his next move. For now he will make good use of his time in China and come up with a plan to make Keyanna pay and take down Mr. Sinclaire too. "I will get you Keyanna, you will never be done with me, not until you are dead" Donovan said to himself as he went to go find Angela. 

Angela was working on her laptop at the table in the living room of the suite Mr. Raynes leased for Donovan. She heard Donovan's little tirade but though nothing of it. Soon he will be divorced and the mating pull will begin. Two things were for sure; one she will be mated to Donovan Masters and two once he was turned they will find Keyanna and torture the pretty bitch until she begged for death then turn her and torture her for the rest of her miserable life. Angela had nothing against Keyanna except that she felt like she was keeping her mate from her. His obsession with her wouldn't end until they mated. She smiled at the thought of Keyanna chained up, broken and abused. She would ask to be the one to turn Keyanna and then she would "accidentally" kill her in the process. Donovan would believe her because she is his mate and his instinct to love and protect would be stronger than the feelings he had for his ex. She smiled at that thought and went back to work on her laptop. "Soon my love, soon" she said out loud as Donovan walked into the room.

*

Mr. Sinclaire was sitting in his office in one of the big leather chairs by the fireplace. He had a glass of scotch, his third glass that day as he waited for Keyanna to arrive from court. He was nervous about what he had to talk to Keyanna about. He was about to reveal to her who and what he was and it wasn't going to be easy. Amelia kept telling him that she would be able to sense a lie within him but he still had a hard time believing it. Amelia noticed the stress on Mr. Sinclaires face and tried to assuage his anxiety, 

"Sir she has power within her, even though she doesn't know it's there it has always worked for her when it was needed. Sir her husband tried to break her but her power made her resilient and stronger after each incident. Her power will be awakened soon and she needs to know what is coming so she can be prepared. Sir you will need to have her to speak with her parents too. They are the key to the initial release of her powers her mate with wake the rest. Please try and be at ease sir all will be okay" Amelia said.

"I know Amelia but it doesn't get any easier. Thank you. If you don't mind I would like to be left alone until Keyanna arrives. Hold all of my calls; change my appointments and no visitors. Once we are done I am going home for the evening. One more thing" he paused "Amelia will she really have the power to call souls back from beyond as the prophecy says?"

"Yes sir" was Amelia's simple but confident reply as she turned to leave the office. 

*

Keyanna's day at court was pleasant. She was able to get the case dropped against her client so she was done early for a change. She took the opportunity to call Kevin to see if his plane landed yet. Keyanna walked through the parking deck to her car. She unlocked the doors got in, took out her phone, dialed Kevin's number and started the car. She backed out of her parking space as Kevin's phone was ringing. She was driving out of the parking deck when he finally answered. 

"Hello Kevin Weldon speaking" Kevin said in his business voice.

"Hi Kevin, I miss you," Keyanna blurted out at the sound his voice.

"I miss you to beautiful," Kevin replied with a chuckle.

"I see you made it back okay," Keyanna said with a smile.

"Yeah, but I want to come back. It was hard leaving you," Kevin said truthfully.

"It was hard for me too. It actually hurt, like literal, physical pain. I had to take a minute before going into the court room this morning. I am okay now probably shouldn't have skipped breakfast".

"Maybe not," Kevin replied knowing the truth of why she was in pain and sickened that he had caused it. "I will let you eat a real meal next time I promise," Kevin said.

"I have to go, I have meeting to get to. I will call you later, okay?" Keyanna said.

"Okay, baby. Have a good day and if you don't call me I will call you. Bye babe," Kevin said

"Bye". 

Keyanna hung up her phone and sat in her car a few minutes to get herself under control. She was actually crying and she didn't understand where these feelings had come from. She dried her eyes and got out of her car and headed to Mr. Sinclaire's office. She couldn't imagine what this meeting was about but knew that if he was calling a meeting it was important. Keyanna got on the elevator and pressed the button to the 35th floor. She leaned against the back wall of the elevator and closed her eyes listening to the low dinging of the bell as the elevator ascended past each floor. With her thoughts all over the place she tried to figure out why she was so emotional lately. She was sure her being with Kevin over the weekend had a lot to do with it. She missed him and the way he made her body crave him was wonderful. 'Focus' she said to herself and forced her thoughts to the impending meeting. The bell chimed and she stepped forward to exit the elevator. The doors opened and Keyanna stepped off the elevator. She expected to see the other partners in attendance and was surprised she was the only one there. She approached Amelia's desk "Hey Am, where is everybody?" Keyanna asked.

"There aren't any other attendee's just you. I will let Mr. Sinclaire know you are here," Amelia replied. 

Amelia picked up the phone and buzzed Mr. Sinclaire "Sir Mrs. Masters is here for your meeting," she said and hung up, "he said for you to go on in."

Keyanna walked on into Mr. Sinclaire's office to find him sitting with a glass of scotch in front of the fireplace. She sat her briefcase by the door and walked over to the where Mr. Sinclaire was standing as he got up when he heard her come through the door. They greeted each other with a hug and Mr. Sinclaire offered Keyanna a drink which she refused. They sat down and Mr. Sinclaire began talking.

"Keyanna, there is not easy way to tell you what I have to say. I will start by saying keep an open mind; listen to your inner voice to know that I speak the truth. Also know that I view you as family and trust you with all that I have," He started.

"You are scaring me a little. You aren't about to die or are terminally ill or something are you?" Keyanna asked curiously. 

"No my dear but you can be the judge of how to best file what I will tell you. I will cut to the chase. Keyanna, do you believe what you see in the movies about vampires, werewolves and the like?"

"I don't know. My parents always taught me that we were not as alone as we think. I thought that was there way of keeping in line. I also think that all movies have a small element of truth to them. Why do you ask?"

"I ask because what I have to say will test the limits of what you believe to be real or make believe. What would you say if I told you vampires, werewolves, witches and fairies did exist?"

"I would tell you that I would have to see it to believe it".

"That is fair I suppose. Let me tell you who and what I am and if you still require proof in the end I will give it to you. Is that okay?"

"That is fine by me," Keyanna replied her curiosity piqued. 

"Keyanna I am a vampire; a very old vampire. My real name is Kyros W. Sinclaire...

Kyros W. Sinclair

Kyros W. Sinclair was the King of all vampires. The Sinclair bloodline came from the United Kingdom to settle in the United States six hundred years ago. Though his rule went far he governed the other countries by way of Primordial vampires in the larger countries. The Primordial's were vampires that were as old as time it's self. The smaller territories were governed by Elder Vampires. The Elders vampires were almost as old as the Primordial's as they had been sired by them. Kyros was the son of a Primordial and the first born of his father's mating. The rule of the vampire race would always remain with his bloodline to be passed on to the first born of his mating. Altogether the ruling vampires made up a Council that Kyros ruled. They would hear a matter weigh in on it but the final word was always the word of the King. 

Life in the U.S. seemed to agree with Kyros and the coven he presided over. The grounds that housed the vampire estate thrived with life, activity, and a peaceful existence. The estate was more like a small community within the city in which they lived. Being self sufficient they rarely had to go outside of the grounds of the estate anything. If one was to happen upon the estate it looked like a little town or an upscale retirement village. There were individual houses that housed mated vampires and their families. There were apartments and condominiums for the unmated vampires, guards, and those who worked in the main house where Kyros lived. The main house was situated toward the back of the estate. After traveling through the houses, condos and shops of the industrious vampires who made clothing, operated clinics, ran restaurants, gas stations, salons, grocery stores for those who could still eat human food; you would come to a place that on the outside looked like a sprawling mansion. 

Inside it was tastefully decorated with best of the best. 

Kyros was a judicious, patient and compassionate as King and leader. He believed that the members of the estate should have a trade, or a skill of some sort. Being industrious was the future and he never wanted the members of his race which he affectionately referred to as his family to be left behind. Each new century brought with it new advances in medicine, dentistry, architecture and technology. They embraced the changes and even contributed a few of their own to the world around them. He also encouraged them to move away from the estate and venture into the neighboring cities and to go to other states. Some left but refused to be away from their King. The 18th century brought about death and chaos for vampires as a rogue alerted humans to their existence. Once the threat was taken care of the coven was safely relocated, its members that survived had come to bask in the safety that came with being near the king and were reluctant to separate. The younglings of the family born to those who survived had different idea's and weren't afraid to venture out. For that Kyros was grateful as it forced the families to leave the security blanket of the estate to go and visit with their offspring. Kyros also made sure to have private jets that they could use for travel knowing that it would ease them in their travels as contact with humans still made most of them weary. 

Kyros was mated to Myra Travers . Myra was human when she met Kyros. Their meeting had been an accident; she was leaving the library as she was an avid reader and loved books. She had just gotten a copy of book she ordered and couldn't wait to get home and read it. She had paid for her purchase and was headed out of the door with the book open to the preface when she collided with what felt like a brick wall. She stumbled and almost fell when a pair of strong hands caught and gently steadied her. Myra regained her balance and looked up to thank her rescuer and ended up looking into the eyes of Kyros Sinclair. She stared at him as if she were hypnotized by his emerald green eyes. 

Kyros or rather I was headed to the library to get a copy of the newly published law review. With him completing law school and passing the bar he wanted to stay abreast of the happenings in the human world where law was concerned. He chose law because as much as he encouraged those he ruled to be industrious and to blend in with the society around them it came with a cost. The more they interacted with humans the more they became human in their thinking with their action soon following. He was finding himself more and more on the legal side of human laws than he cared for so law was a logical choice. He and a few of the members of his coven had gone into law. They started a Law Firm called Coven Inc. They represented their own in court and were well versed in human and vampire directives and bylaws. Since they were semi- public they were judicious in the cases they took and violators would be dealt with once the human courts were done they were subject to the King and the edicts of the council. 

Since Kyros was the king his sightings in public and in the courts had to be kept to a minimum. There were members of the coven and other beings that felt that Kyros had grown soft and too westernized in his thinking. To eliminate the threat of someone trying to assassinate their King, they would use Kyros as an advisor and he would only be active on cases that would require him to be. 

The day he was run into by Myra at the bookstore changed his and her life forever. Kyros was well over 400 years old and had given up on finding his mate. Elation would best describe what Kyros felt at finding Myra. He was as mesmerized by her as she was by him. Their courtship was not a long one. They spent every moment from the time they met together. When he revealed that he was a vampire Myra just smiled and told him she knew he was different. She also told him that she didn't care what he was as long as he was hers. That made Kyros the happiest vampire in the world. Kyros lived and breathed to protect his Myra and make her happy. Together they reigned for another two hundred years. Myra was a fast learner thanks to her love of reading; after she recovered from being turned she would spend countless hours in the estates library surrounded by books.




Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 03



Kyros taught Myra about all of the secrets of the vampires that were in existence. He told her of the gifts that were endowed by the fates to many of their brethren. There were Primordial's and elders who due to their advanced age could walk and live a normal life in the daytime. There were also those who were gifted as he called them. The gifted were born with unique powers. Some were telepaths, empaths, daywalkers, shape shifters, seers, and healers. Some could teleport and move objects by telekinesis and of the rarest breed born those with power to recall souls back into the bodies of the departed. 

Kyros enjoyed Myra's wide eyed fascination with learning of the world she didn't know existed until she met Kyros. Myra trained hard and became a strong, skillful and formidable opponent in battle. She also became a professor. Once Myra was changed she inherited the abilities of her mate as well as awakening a few of her own. She found she could read the minds of vampires and dreamspeak. Myra's talents were extremely rare as vampire minds are usually impervious to mind readers and being able to appear and interact in their dreams was even rarer. Kyros was a born daywalker and being the son of a Primordial he also had the abilities of his father which were telepathy long distance teleportation; which meant from the day he was born he was able to withstand sunlight and be unaffected by it. He could also teleport himself from city to city, state to state and country to country. His gifts also made him capable of being able to feed less often than those who weren't day walkers and he could eat human food where some couldn't. Myra was grateful she could still eat human food because she was an excellent cook. 

During the two hundred years of their mating the fates were kind to Myra and she birthed five children for Kyros, three boys and two lovely girls. Kylan was the oldest boy, followed by Kyle, then Kelli, Kristi and Kevin was the last. As the centuries came and went so did the world around them. Since the children were born with the same gifts as their parents they attended human schools and chose human careers that they felt would be useful to their kind and beneficial to the coven and their father the King. 

Kylan graduated and entered the armed forces, and was a Marine Corp General. He was responsible for training the guard, and security protocol for the estate, and the surrounding community. Kyle became a doctor. He was also a born healer so his choice of medicine suited him. He ran the estates medical and research center. Kelli became real estate and property developer. She was instrumental in find great locations for vampires who were industrious of enough to start businesses. She also located obscure properties to be used as hideouts if the coven ever needed to disperse. Kristi became an architect. She was currently running the largest architectural firm in the US. She and her sister worked closely and a lot of projects. She had also helped her mom renovate and redesign the estate. Kevin was a late addition and still just a baby when Kristi completed college. 

Around Kevin's third birthday a strange infection began to spread throughout the region under Kyros's rule. The infection only seemed to affect true born vampires not those that had human ancestry. In its beginning stages it caused abdominal pain, fever and chills. Around day four uncontrollable blood lust and delirium. In its final stages it would cause the vampires brain to swell rupturing the vessels and distending the skull until fractured, and raising the heart rate until cardiac arrest occurred or the vampire bled to death from the brain hemorrhage. At first it was one or two with complaints of stomach pains, fever and a headache. Then the numbers grew by leaps and bounds. Reports began to pour in from all over their territory of the masses that were infected with this rogue disease.

Kyros and Myra were perplexed. Only the vampires under Kyros rule were being infected. The covens in the North east, and south east were unaffected. This was an attempt to eradicate them but who would concoct such a thing and release it upon their own kind. More than that how was it being spreading so quickly? 

When Kyle started seeing cases at the estates medical center he knew this had to be the work of Edwin Raynes. Edwin Raynes was one of those members who felt Kyros had become soft, weak, spineless and and too relaxed to be king. He held the opinion that Vampires were a superior race and should be ruling not just the western hemisphere but whole world and not just merely existing in it. He didn't just dislike humans he hated them. They were ugly, stupid, inferior and they smelled horrid. Edwin felt was of the opinion that they should be servants cowering before them in fear begging for their worthless lives as opposed to being allowed to mate and members of a vampire society. 

Edwin had developed a hatred for Kyros, and the coven. Kyros was inadequate, and delusional with his ideas of integration and industry within human society. Kyros in his opinion was leading them down a path of destruction. They were livestock being led to slaughter by Kyros and that filthy human bitch he called queen. The coven and estate residents were considered mindless drones who would do anything their beloved King said including fraternizing with those disgusting humans. Edwin believed that vampires should not be living in peace, mating and fucking their food. Vampires were at the head of the food chain all else was dispensable. He intended to make that his first change when he took over. Humans would be harvested for their blood and when they were drained he would kill them and feed them to his pet werewolves another race he detested. Edwin was set to put his plan in motion over two hundred years ago but Kyros found his mate and she was a fucking human! "They will all die" Edwin said to himself the day Kyros announced that he found his mate. He was full of rage and wrinkling his nose, at the foul odor of her as she and Kyros stood holding hands after the announcement. "They are food dammit not mates" he murmured angrily under his breath before vanishing from the Grand Hall where the announcement was made. 

Edwin had become a doctor and he specialized in genetics and epidemiology. He knew he wasn't strong enough to challenge Kyros for the throne. He also knew the scepter of royalty would always remain with his bloodline so a physical challenge would be grounds for immediate death. Such a challenge would be seen as treason. He decided to go a different route to rid himself of the King and that creature he called a queen. He developed a virus that could be introduced to a vampire through tainted blood. That worked on the average but Kyros was a day walker and didn't need blood as often as those who were not born with that gift. Plus he could obtain nourishment and strength through human food as could his precious queen and the hybrid abominations born from her. Plus the infection didn't work on humans turned vampire or vampires with human ancestry. If he wanted to get to them he had to develop a strain that could be ingested in human food, would not die during the cooking process and yield the same result as the original infection he created. "Yes that is what I will do and Kyle would be my test subject". Kyle knew too much, he had heard too much and he knew the Kyle had copies of his research hidden away somewhere. It was only a matter of time before he told his father the infection was his creation. He had to be ready. When Kyros finds out he will come for him he had to be prepared. When Kyros came for him he would die and Edwin could take his place as king. Maybe he will make the queen his slave. Maybe fuck her to see if she was better that his kind. 

Kyle knew he needed to tell his father about Edwin. He treated the most recent infected patient; A man who was a guard with a mate and children. Since the disease could not be stopped Kyle had opted for just making the infected vampire comfortable by way of sedation. The vampire remained unconscious as the final stages of the disease ran its course. "At least they won't suffer this way" he said to himself as he watched helplessly while a member of their coven shook with violent convulsions. Blood poured from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. The monitors attached were going haywire as the poor vampire's heart rate increased and then stopped. Kyle picked up the phone to let his father and the vampire's family know that the patient had expired. He also called the nurses to prepare the body for the family of the infections latest victim. 

Kyle stepped out of the patients' room after speaking with the family and went to his office. He loved coffee and his assistant kept a fresh pot made for him. He walked in grabbed his cup and poured a cup of the fresh hot coffee and went to his desk to write his notes for the patients file. He took a sip of his coffee. It tasted funny. He took another sip. Now it tasted fine. He smelled the coffee. "Strange" he said to himself. The smell was familiar but he couldn't place it. He sat the cup aside and poured the remaining coffee out of the pot then went back to his desk and begun writing his notes. 

Edwin stood in the security control room of the estate watching with pride as Kyle ingested the antibodies that would eventually kill him and his family. "It's done" he said to himself as he grabbed his lab coat and vanished from the estate knowing he would never return.

Kyle on his way out took the coffee by the lab. He took samples and tested them. The test wouldn't be complete until the next day so he left word for the lab to call him as soon as the test was complete.

Kyros stood in his room staring out the window still asking himself who would do this to them. Who hated vampires so much that they would make them suffer in this manner knowing their death was emanate. He had no answers and the council was seeking to stop the spread of this disease to other vampire covens even if it meant eradication of the whole Western Hemisphere' s coven. The council demanded a meeting with Kyros and Myra. They had to leave for a few days and left Kyle in charge in their absence. 

That next day Kyle received a call from the lab. "Hello" Kyle said "Dr. Sinclair the coffee was tainted with the same infection that the other vampires had but this strain was different" the lab tech said.

"How so"? Kyle asked "Sir it's like a super strain of the original. The last one was relegated to tainted blood; this one can go air born and can also be passed through an open wound."

"Is there a way to kill the infection?" 

"Sir, with last infection all we had to do was get rid of the tainted blood. This new strain was meant to make us all extinct. The infection can only be killed if it died with the host." 

"What happens if the host scratches or bites someone?" 

"If the one scratched or bitten lives they will have the infection, at which point they will have to be extinguished to prevent it from being passed. If they die then the infection can't thrive. There is one more thing,"

"What is it"? Kyle said 

"Sir this new strain is especially deadly to vampires that have human ancestry." 

"What?!"

"This new strain cancelled out the old one; to a vampire who has human ancestry it is the previous infection magnified." 

"Thanks for the update" Kyle said as he hung up the phone. Kyle sat on his bed staring at the floor. He was going to die and he couldn't stop it. He had to tell his parents as soon as they came back.

Over the next few days Kyle fell ill. The King and Queen returned home to the news of Kyle being ill. He had a high fever and complained of terrible stomach cramps. This went on for three days. On the fourth day Kelli came home. She was concerned about her brother and had taken a few days off to be with family until Kyle was well. Kelli went to Kyle's room to check on him and to bring him some soup since it was the only thing he could keep down. Kelli wanted to surprise her brother so she asked her parents not tell him she was there. Kelli knocked on Kyle's door. When there was no answer she knocked again. Upon getting no response Kelli became concerned and opened the door to find Kyle covered in blood and his eyes completely black. Bloodlust. 

Kyle was consumed and he attacked all who came near him and Kelli was no exception. Though she was a strong fighter and an expert in hand to hand combat she wasn't prepared to use her skills on her brother. She thought to reason with him but she could sense that this wasn't her brother so she began to retreat out of the room. Kyle moved with speed she didn't know was possible and before she could protect herself Kyle had her around the neck. She reached out to her mother and father through their bond alerting them to Kyle's state. Kyros and Myra vanished from where they were to Kyle's' room in time to see Kyle rip Kelli's throat out and feed on the gushing blood that poured from her. Myra screamed in agony watching helplessly as her son killed his sister and fed from her like a ravenous animal. 

Kyros was frozen as the scene unfolded in front of him. He was paralyzed as his mates despair course through their bond. His second in command flew past him and restrained Kyle being scratched by one of Kyle's talons in the process. Another guard came to assist with restraining Kyle and he too was scratched. Kelli lay on the floor gasping for air reaching for her mother. Myra crawled to her body and lifted her torso so that her back was resting against her chest. She was frantically trying to stop the bleeding. She placed her hands over the gaping wound in Kelli's neck and tried to apply pressure. The more she pressed the more blood spilled from her. Myra's eyes were so flooded with tears that she couldn't see what she was doing anymore. She closed her eyes as the tears fell. She listened as Kelli took her last labored breaths. Through their bond Kelli sent her love and deepest affection to her parents as she died in her mother's arms. Myra screamed in pain as the familial bond shared with her child dissolved. The pain was so intense that Myra passed out. 

The next day Kyle was screaming in pain with a headache and bleeding profusely from his nose, eyes and ears. The two guards that had been scratched were now infected and were place in quarantine and locked down so that there was no repeat of what happened to Kelli. The rest of the children also arrived home to witness the final stages of the infection as it took another one of their siblings. Kyros stayed in his room with Myra. She couldn't take seeing another one of her children dying, and she was preparing for the pain of another bond dissolving. They stayed in their room with Myra curled up on the bed and Kyros was laying next to her curled form holding her as she sobbed. In the final stages of the disease Kyle's delirium caused him to scream out about Dr. Raynes and his reckless experiments and how he couldn't stop him. These seemed like mere babblings except he was projecting his memories to his family. Like a movie all that Kyle had witness played in their minds. The experiments, the conversations heard by Kyle about Edwin's hatred of the royal family and how it was time for new blood to rule the coven. They even saw how Kyle had become infected all in a plot to kill off the family. When Kyle took his last breath his family felt his love, and remorse for not stopping Edwin Raynes. 

Kyros was livid. He stayed put and held Myra until the pain of the dissolved bond passed. Once he was sure his mate was back to normal Kyros came out of his room with Myra following behind him until she was stopped by one of the seers. Kyros called his guards to the Grand Hall and demanded that Edwin be found immediately and brought to him. As his guards left to carry out his orders, members of the council had showed up uninvited and heavily armed. Edwin had given an anonymous tip that the royal family was infected and needed to be eradicated in order to contain the infection. The council reacted on Edwin's warning with fear that this was the 18th century all over again. They were determined that it would not get as far as it did in those times and for the first time in their vampire history went against the King. 

Myra was nowhere to be seen. When they emerged from their room one of the gifted ones stopped her. This one, Amelia had the ability of a seer. She told Myra of the councils coming and that she was to send Kevin away with one of the caretakers that was a shape shifter. She will be able to get away and get him to safety. Amelia had already told the care taker to be ready so that she could take Kevin away before the council arrived. She also told Myra she had to get out and take the king with her. Amelia could not get to the King and Queen in time to tell them what was going to happen. She told the Kings second but he ended up getting scratched and locked away. She had to wait outside of the King and queens rooms until they came out to warn them but it was too late.

Myra was able to get Kevin to the caretaker whom she was told could shape shift and get away unnoticed according to Amelia. She had just returned to the Grand Hall to find the Council. 

The Council took one look at Kyle's disfigured body and demanded that Kyros and Myra renounce the throne and admit to being incompetent leaders. Kyros flew into a rage. He grabbed the arrogant council member around the neck and threw him across the room. When he went to grab the other member he heard a blood curdling scream. Kylan had been shot and had vanished from where he was. Kristi stabbed through the neck and was bleeding profusely. The militia had turned and taken aim at Myra but she vanished from where she was before they could fire on her. When they turned to where Kyros had been standing he too had vanished. 

"Search the house" members of the council ordered. The council cleared the grounds and ordered all who resided on the estate tasted and given a clean bill of health. Those found to be infected were disposed of. In all twelve of the coven were infected including the two guards that were scratched by Kyle. The council left the estate after three days. Those who were determined to be clean were free to return to their lives. Some remained on the premises of the estate others went to stay with relatives. The ones who remained began clean and rebuilding what was destroyed in the wake of the councils arrival. Others went into hiding. A few faithful knew their bond was intact and would await ordersfrom their beloved king. They grieved to loss of children of the King and sent their love and strength to the King and Queen through their bond. 

Kyros and Myra vanished to their bedroom. Together they agreed to go to one of their many safe houses. They decided to teleport to their safe houses in the mountains of Colorado. This was one of many that only they and the children had knowledge of. They figured they could stay there until everything blew over and Kyros could deal with those involved with harming his family.

Back at the estate Edwin was brought back hand cuffed and beaten. Edwin Raynes, his mate and his children were cut off from the bond with the King. The moment Edwin's betrayal was discovered his link was dissolved along with his family. They had become outcasts among their own kind. 

The caretaker had taken Kevin to California where she had family who thrived outside of the coven. There she kept Kevin as instructed until the King and Queen could come to get him.

Over the next few days Myra fell ill. Kyros knew she wasn't infected. She was heartbroken. All but one of her children was dead. She felt like a piece of her died with each of them. Kyros tried in earnest to encourage Myra for Kevin's sake but she couldn't bounce back. Kyros sat with Myra caring for her, lending her his strength, and giving all his love until she had just given up. She called to Kyros her voice barely above a whisper as she told him she loved him, and she was sorry that she was't strong enough to go on with him. She made him promise to find and take care of Kevin. Kyros pleaded with her, his tears freely falling as he begged Myra not to leave him, not to leave them. He told her how much she and Kevin needed her how they wouldn't know how to make it without her. It fell on deaf ears Myra was too far gone and for her she couldn't face life without her children. Kevin she knew would be okay. And Kyros would be too. 




Keyanna and Kevin Ch. 03



The night of the council's invasion, Amelia told Myra of all that was going to happen but Myra could tell there was something Amelia was holding back. "What else? What aren't you telling me?" Myra demanded of the seer. Trembling, Amelia told Myra that she saw her death, the death of Edwin, his mate and the caretaker would die protecting Kevin with her life. She told Myra that the King with be driven to madness after his death and that Kevin would grow up safe and would not know the events that took place nor would he remember her or the king. Myra's heart broke into pieces at that revelation. She couldn't bring herself to tell Kyros so she kept it to herself. Even lying on her death bed gazing into the emerald green eyes she loved so much she still couldn't tell him. "Kyros" she whispered "I—I" She took her last breath and sent all the love she could summon through their bond as she died still staring into his eyes. 

Kyros was broken. He was delirious with anger and the lust for revenge had taken him over. Kyros stood and picked up Myra's lifeless body and vanished back to the coven Estate that had been their home for centuries. Many of the coven members had returned as they felt the Queens demise and came to pay their respects and to lend the King their strength during the burial. The queen would be laid to rest in the family plots on the grounds of the estate. The coven members watched as the king walked to the plot and laid his beloved to rest. Kyros stood at the grave site for what seemed like forever. He turned to his coven gave them one last look then vanished to the one place he knew he needed to go...Edwin Raynes' home. He was going to kill him and anyone that tried to stop him was going to die with him. 

Kyros appeared in Edwin's front yard. Edwin was waiting for him. He had heard of the queens death and knew that he would be Kyros first stop after the burial.

"Kyros, so nice of you to stop by; I've been expecting you" Edwin said smugly. 

"Good. Then you know that you will die tonight" Kyros said back to Edwin glaring at him. 

"Did you enjoy the little show? Hmm Kyros? What was it like to watch your son die? How did it feel to see your son kill and feed from his own sister, you miserable fucking animal?" he bit out through clenched teeth.

Kyros fangs extended and his talons grew. He was trembling with rage. 

"You sick fuck. You are a coward! You did not have the guts to challenge me so you created a disease to do your bidding for you. You will pay for what you've done. When I leave your head is going with me you spineless son of a bitch!" Kyros spat at him.  

"Would you like to know what I call my little concoction" Edwin asked amused. "I named it Kyrosseamyrae Disease. I named it after the one it was intended for" Edwin laughed. 

Kyros had heard enough it was time for Edwin to die. Kyros launched himself at Edwin. Tackling him to the ground, he slashed Edwins stomach disemboweling him. 

Edwin felt the pain rip through him. He knew this was the end. He looked toward his house and saw his wife and son watching everything in the window if his sons room. For a split second he felt remorse. He hated the feeling and seethed at Kyros for making him look weak in front of his mate and son. He flailed around and slashed wildly at Kyros's face missing him completely. Kyros raised his hand and decapitated Edwin with one strong precise slash of his talons. He stood up and looked down at Edwin's' lifeless body. He picked up Edwin's head and vanished. 

Edwins son watched with no emotion. He glanced at his mother as she cried from the pain of losing her mate. His father was a fool he decided. He would become king and wouldn't be as reckless as his father. His father told him what would happen. He knew his mother was going to kill herself, and that he hired a rogue to seek out and kill Kevin. Eldon Levi Raynes vanished to his aunt's house like his dad told him to. He would be there until he got out on his own and when the time was right and he could have his revenge on Kyros Sinclair. 

Kyros went to the council headquarters with the head of Edwin Raynes . He entered the meeting quarters and set about getting retribution for those who trespassed in his home and took the lives of his family. Kyros was ruthless in doling out his judgment on those who boldly opposed the king. Kyros killed all of the council members who had come to his home and the ones who agreed with course of action taken that night. He gave them an opportunity to confess their wrong. Those who lied were beheaded those who told the truth were spared but removed from the council. The others watched in horror as Kyros brought a council of thirty down to a mere eight members. Kyros's anger sated her left the head of Edwin Raynes on their doorstep and vanished back to the home in Colorado. Kyros wanted to die but knew Kevin needed him though not even that seemed to matter. Even if he managed to find Kevin he didn't think he could care for him. His heart broke into a million pieces as he mourned his kids and his beloved Myra. The King of the vampires did the one thing he thought he would never do. He renounced his throne. At the moment he did it all bonds with his coven was broken and he lost track of Kevin. The pain of the bond breaking was excruciating to Kyros who had passed out. To little Kevin it meant a trip to the ER where a rogue working for Edwin tried to kill Kevin. The care taker was able to defend Kevin and get him back to her family safely before she died. They too were seers and knew that mantle of protecting their next king was passed to them. 

When Kyros came to he settled in his mind that the renouncing of his throne not only meant that he was no longer king, it also meant that he would no longer live as vampire. Edwin's betrayal almost wiped them out, and the council had behaved too hastily in using deadly force to eradicate a threat that they could have easily probed Edwins mind to get an anecdote to. There was no honor, or respect for him as a King among his people he decided. Kyros no longer wanted to carry his name either. He could no longer hear his beloved say it and Edwin had used his name for the disease that almost desecrated his kind. Kyros decided to go by his middle name. No one knew that the W in Kyros W. Sinclair stood for Weldon. Whenever he was asked about the initial he would simply change the subject. His oldest son Kylan and Myra were the only ones who knew and they were both dead. He also altered the spelling of his last name. His line of Sinclair's was dead. Kyros also aged with renouncement of his throne. His hair was now silver as was his beard and mustache. Being king slowed the aging process to a crawl the renouncement sped it up. That day Kyros Sinclair died. Weldon Sinclaire emerged. 

Weldon stood in his office nursing a drink. He was concluding his confession to Keyanna telling her that he still had some coven family who refused to accept his renouncement almost 100 years ago and remained loyal to him in service. They worked for his company in different capacities and he allowed the bond with them to re-establish itself. 

Keyanna was sitting in the leather chair staring at the fire. She had so many questions and there was so much to take in. With all that she had heard the one thing that stuck out was that Weldon said he had a son named Kevin. That plus he said his name was Kyros and his wife's name was Myra. Could Kevin be the child that Weldon lost? If he was that would make him a -- a vamp- her thoughts were interreupted by Weldon calling her name and waving a hand in front of her face. Keyanna blinked and looked up at Weldon. 

"Are you ok dear," he asked concerned.

"I-I am fine, I just, don't know what to say,"

"You don't have to say a word. It's a lot to digest, it will take some time." 

"You said your name was Kyros and your wife, her name was Myra?"

"Yes" was his simple reply.

"You also said that you didn't know what became of your son Kevin, right?"

"Right"

"What if I told you that I knew where he is and how to get in touch with him?"

"I would be overjoyed," he replied his eyes welling with tears "I would also ask if he is well?"

"Yes, he is well and he doesn't know that you are alive. I don't even know how to begin to tell him that you are not dead"

"Keyanna I- have missed so much of his life, I don't know that he will even accept me or find me it in his heart to forgive me".

"He will do both, I'm sure he has missed you and his Aunt and Uncle spoke fondly of you from what he tells me. Weldon, I hate to change the subject but why are you telling me this? I mean I have worked for you for over five years now and you never felt the need to confide this to me then. So why now?"

"Well," he began with a heavy sigh "You are important to the future of the royal bloodline," he replied watching her reaction. 

"Me? How is that possible, I am not vampire nor am I mated to one, Donovan may be a lot o things but a vampire isn't one of them," She replied her tone disbelieving. 

"Keyanna, honey there is a battle coming. The son of Edwin Raynes is planning to take his revenge on me to take out the last of my family including me. You are the mate of legend and soon to be Queen of all vampire," Weldon replied. 

"What legend?" Keyanna asked not liking where this was going but unable to stop her curiosity.

"There is a legend," Weldon began as he got up from his chair and walked over to a bookcase to retrieve a book. It was an old leather bound book that had worn golden embellishments around the outer edges of the book and down the spine. The book was tied closed with a blood red silk ribbon. Weldon took the book to his conference table, untied the ribbon and began to flip through the delicate pages of the book and started speaking, "the legend tells of a forgotten heir of the royal throne whose mate had beauty to rival the goddess Aphrodite," he said as looked up at Keyanna who was blushing at the comparison.

"Ah, here it is," Weldon said as he allowed the pages to come to rest on the passage he was searching for. 

"Keyanna please," Weldon said with a hand extended to Keyanna as an invitation to join him to view the legend. 

Keyanna rose from her seat and walked over to where Weldon was standing, taking his hand she allowed herself to be led to a chair in front of the book. 

"Read here," he said pointing to the handwritten passage simply titled The Prodigal Ascension: The son of a king lost to his heritage. Unaware that he is a royal heir knowing not of his parentage. He is a prince reared by strangers his destiny to be king, to rule and to vanquish danger. He will arise with his mate at his side. She will have grace, upon her head will rest wisdom and honor and she shall be mighty; she is blessed with beauty; a rival only to the goddess Aphrodite. She can manipulate the elements, a truly gifted healer in word and deed; she will restore life, limbs, minds and emotional needs. They two will rule with power re-establishing the name, reign, and bloodline of former King. No more tears, no more heartache and no more grief for the former King. 

Keyanna looked at Weldon after reading the last line and said "you still miss her?"

"More than anyone will ever know. I wish even now that I had taken my life after confronting the council to be with her" Weldon replied as his tears fell freely.

"I'm sorry Weldon. I don't think she would've wanted that for you."

"No dear she wouldn't, but that doesn't make it any easier or the pain any less after all these years."

"Weldon this person, the Queen, she can't possibly be me. I am nothing like the woman described in that text."

"Keyanna before you settle on that could you do me a favor?"

"Of course,"

"Let me say this first dear, Amelia is the seer I spoke of; she knew who you were the moment your application to work here came in. She also knew that while you are not mated to a vampire now you will be. Up until a moment ago I didn't know that you and Kevin had already met. Amelia told me that I would meet you. I thought that I was to keep you safe until the fates were read y for you and Kevin to meet. My dear the fates destined for you to meet Kevin. You are his mate. He knows who you are but because your divorce with Donovan is not final you do not feel the mating pull. She also said that your powers have to be unbinded by your parents."

"My parents? What do my mother and father have to do with this?"

"You have latent powers that have to be unlocked they binded them at birth and they have to be the ones to release them"

"How do you know that?"

"Unfortunately it is not my story to tell dear, talk with them they know the time is near and will be waiting for you."

Keyanna got up from the table and went to gather her things. She was warring with her emotions and anger being the one she was battling now. 

"I have to go" she said abruptly "I will call you once I speak with them." She had tears in her eyes. Why would they withhold something as vital as whom or what she really is from her, How could they? Keyanna was hurt, confused and angry. She had endured so much with Donovan and all the while she could have had the power to stop it, stop him to make it and him go away. 

"Keyanna do not be angry with them. They were protecting you. There are those who know of the legend and would have sought to take your life before it even began," Kyros pleaded.

"I just- Donovan almost killed me. I could have stopped him," she shouted as she began to sob.

Weldon walked over to where she was standing; he hugged her and rubbed her back trying to comfort her. 

"All will be well, dear I promise, just give them a chance to explain, please?" Weldon pulled back from Keyanna to look at her. He loved her as if she were his own daughter and it pain him to see her so hurt. He hugged her again and mustered up to courage to ask her for one more favor on top of all that he has burdened her with. 

With a deep breath he decided to now or never, "Keyanna could you do something else for me?" Weldon asked his voice cracking with emotion.

Keyanna looked up at Weldon's large frame and into his emerald eyes that were glistening with tears, "Would you please help me to meet my son?" He said as tears rolled down his face. 

Keyanna reached up and placed a hand on the side of his face swiping at the trail of tears with her thumb. 

"Of course I will," she said tears flowing from her eyes "I will be honored to."



Keyanna and Kevin



Donovan got around too with the girls in high school. His school and a few of the other local schools had heard of him and his conquests. He learned from his father that words to a woman were a very powerful weapon. His grandfather otherwise believed in heavy handed force. Meanwhile his father believed that the power to negotiate was a strong suit when it came to dealing with women especially with the right bargaining chips and mom, well she said good old fashioned respect and honesty was the way to go. 

Donovan of course found a way to mesh the three and make them work for him. He stole a lot of virginal pussy from the girls in high school with the smooth respectful façade he would put on. 

Once he had them naked he would talk them into just letting him kiss and fondle them a little bit. Then a nibble by the ear and a touch on the butt, a rub here and there, a lick on the nipple and kiss on the clit and before long she would be putty in his hands. He would tease and arouse them relentlessly until he had them almost at their peak and begging to be pushed over the edge. When they can't take the teasing anymore and were almost in tears from the frustration he would climb on top of them and shove his cock into them before they could register what was happening. When they began to fight him he would cover their mouth and restrain their hands above their heads and fuck them hard and deep until he came all over their pussy or ass depending on the position. When he was done he would tell them that if they ever said anything about rape then he would provide proof that it wasn't. Then much to the girls dismay he would produce a recording of them begging him to fuck them or make them cum. The poor girls would end up too ashamed to say anything and would in turn keep their mouth shut. 

Yes, Donny boy thought he had it all figured out. After he got to college he realized these same tactics wouldn't work. These women, college women, were more mature, more sexually experienced, and much less inhibited than the "wanna be" good girls in high school. 

Instead of being in pursuit of pussy; pussy was pursuing him. He became like royalty on campus. He loved being catered to and though Keyanna wasn't trying to be she was getting the same treatment. Since Donovan thought himself to be the self appointed king then it was only fitting he should have a queen and he set his sights on Keyanna. 

Keyanna was in love with Donovan; Donovan was in lust with all that he could have with Keyanna by his side. To him she was a perk in his quest to get ahead. When he proposed marriage he was thinking of the future and all the doors that would be open to him as a result of his arm candy. Keyanna on the other hand was looking forward to a future as a partner in a law firm making a comfortable living and doing some traveling with her man. She was in for a rude awakening. 

After graduation she took a job at a local prestigious Law firm called The Sinclaire Firm. She was recruited before she could finish her senior year and was all too happy to accept. Donovan was offered a position at The Sinclaire Firms competitor Aganon Law Office. He was going to accept until his fiancé pointed out that it would be a conflict of interest for them to work at competing firms. So Keyanna used her power of persuasion to get Donovan pulled into the Sinclaire firm in the real estate and lands acquisitions branch of the firm.Both Donovan and Keyanna excelled. After being with the firm for a year, they had a decent savings put away and decided it was time to tie the knot. 

Donovan knew he could never settle down with just one pussy for the rest of his life. The men in his family, as far as he was concerned didn't have the genetic make up for monogamy. He kept his affairs or dealings as he termed them away from Keyanna as he didn't want to mess up the good thing he had going. He figured as long as he fucked her as requested and took her out to dinner every now then, that he would escape any scrutiny. For the first four years he was able to keep up appearances. By year five the glass front started to crack, he got careless and Keyanna had found out. He now had to implement his contingency plan. He didn't want to mar that pretty face of hers but he would be damned if that bitch fucked up his lifestyle or took his money.

Keyanna on the other hand wasn't the fool Donovan thought her to be. She saw his wandering eye and had heard rumors about Donovan while at the firm and before they finished college. She figured all these people saying the same things about him couldn't be wrong so she erred on the side of caution and decided to make sure she was protected in the event something happened or if a rainy day came about. When Keyanna accepted her position with Sinclaire she arranged for a portion of her pay to be placed in a dummy expense account with the firm. Her boss Weldon Sinclaire, senior partner and co-founder of the firm, understood her reasoning and having a daughter himself would do the same to make sure she was able to be financially secure should she have to be, so he had the account set up with the firms info but Keyanna was the sole signer on the account and instead of going though accounting within the firm it was set up through the outside bank that held the firms account as well as the account of some of the larger acquired acquisitions. 

Due to the amount of cases she won and the bonuses she received she made enough money to put it away in the account as well as put money in their joint accounts without Donovan knowing about it. Keyanna also had emergency cash on hand that she kept hidden away at her parent's house. Keyanna would make a withdrawal every month and tell Donovan it was a monthly deposit she wanted to make for her parents as a way of thanking them for taking care of her. Donovan thought it was an excellent idea and never questioned it. So every month she would take fifteen hundred dollars out of the bank and go over to visit her parents house and put the money in a safe her parents bought her when she was a teenager. The safe was in her old room in the back of the closet and Donovan had never been in that room and never would. 

Donovan first kept his indiscretions out of the house. Then one night he brazenly brought one of his drunken hussies home with him. The first time it happened Keyanna woke her up by pouring water on her, then dragging her by her hair to the door and kicking her out along with her things. 

She then woke Donovan and confronted him, "How dare you bring them stray bitches into my house!" she yelled at him, "I can give a fuck what you do when you leave here but don't bring that shit to my house!" 

Donovan was pissed off. He didn't appreciate Keyanna being in his business let alone waking him up about shit that didn't concern her. This was his house too and he could do whatever the hell he wanted and it was about time his bitch wife knew that too. 

Donovan looked at Keyanna and calmly asked, "Are you finished?" 

Keyanna saw the cold look in his eye and started to panic. Donovan started walking towards her, "You need to learn some respect," he said through clenched teeth, "I can do whatever I want to and fuck you even if you don't like it! You obviously didn't learn your lesson when I choked that ass the first time so now it's time for you to learn the hard way." 

With that Donovan punched Keyanna in her stomach. Keyanna fell to the floor and he started beating the shit out of her. Then to add insult to injury Donovan raped her when he was done. He left her on the floor of the house, bloody, clothes ripped, and crying. He showered and stepped over her on his way out to meet up with his buddies to play golf. 

Keyanna crawled to her phone and called the one person she could trust Weldon Sinclaire.

From that day on things got progressively worse. It went from her looking the other way to him forcing her into threesomes and sometimes putting her in restraints and allowing his flavor of the month to have their way with her all while recording it on video. It had all got to be too much. On a daily basis Donovan would threaten Keyanna's life. He would tell her that if she ever left he would find her and kill her but not before he ruined her well earned reputation and then he will make her watch as he took her family out one by one until she was all that was left .Then he promised to torture her and let her die a slow painful death. So out of fear Keyanna stayed put like a good little girl. 

Last year Donovan started staying out all night and would at times be gone for days on end outside of the times that Weldodn sent Donovan to personally handle large acqusitions. It was his hope that with him gone Keyanna would have time to think and maybe even leave. Eventually it worked. 

Keyanna had wised up to Donovan and decided if he was going to whore himself out she was no longer going to be a party to it. No more forcing her to be the plaything to some wonton bitch that all of a sudden had bi-sexual fantasies when they saw her. She finally broke down and told Weldon all of what had been going on between her and Donovan. 

Weldon was livid. Keyanna was like a daughter to him and he was pissed that she waited so long to tell him about all of this. Weldon knew something was wrong. When Keyanna started at the firm she was full of life, excited about everything she learned and had zeal for every task she was given. All of that plus the sheer genius of the way she put her law degree to use and all she studied to work made her a force to be reckoned with. In three years at the firm she had made a name for herself. When other firms found out that "Killer Key Masters" was on the case they would offer pleas, want to settle out of court or would withdraw their lawsuits altogether. 

When Keyanna called him the day Donovan beat and raped her, he saw red and wanted to kill him. He took Keyanna to his home, called a doctor to the house and nursed her back to health. When Keyanna was better and the bruising gone he tried to talk her into leaving Donovan but she wouldn't hear it. She swore she had it under control and kept saying that it wasn't easy to just up and leave. 

Now sitting here in his office listening to her recount this last year he finally understood. 

Upon hearing the horrific things Keyanna was forced into Weldon encouraged Keyanna to leave Donovan and press charges, but she couldn't. She told him about the threats to harm her loved ones and the videos that he kept locked in a safe deposit box so that he could blackmail her if she tried to leave. He would ruin her, her reputation and take The Sinclaire Firm apart too if he had to. Her hands were tied. She knew that Donovan knew it too. Its why the abuse had escalated, the nights out got longer, the threats were constant and the having sex with her against her will was almost an everyday occurrence. 

Weldon was seething in anger as he looked at Keyanna sitting across from him. She was sobbing uncontrollably, hugging herself, feeling dejected and helpless something he never saw in her. How had she endured all of this over the years and still do her job so efficiently Weldon would never know.

Weldon, unbeknown to Keyanna, was a pure blooded Vampire. He chose to live as a human after being disgusted with how the council handled him, his coven, his mate and the other vampires. He remained friends with some of his kind and had even represented some of them in human court when they were caught and prosecuted under human laws. He knew what needed to be done so that Keyanna could make a clean break from Donovan but humans couldn't carry out the task. He got up walked around the desk and hugged the sobbing woman and held her until the tears stopped. He decided to send her to a hotel. Weldon paid for the penthouse suite and told Keyanna to stay as long as she needed to and don't worry about money, charge everything to the room. He would make some calls and see what he could do to help her out. Weldon called his driver Deitrick and told him to take Keyanna straight to the hotel and by telepathy ordered him to guard her throughout her stay. 

Keyanna took her laptop with her and headed to the hotel. They made a few stops to pick up some essentials Keyanna would need for her stay. Keyanna bought clothes, enough for the week, underwear, socks, pajamas and a toothbrush. Deitrick insisted that they would have one in the room but Keyanna always hated hotel toothbrushes and always packed her own. 

Once she was in the room, she showered, ordered room service and decided to go on to her favorite author's blog and see what was going on. It was how Keyanna would escape her own reality. Donovan didn't care to read if he didn't have to and found other ways to occupy his time. He didn't seem to care that she participated in the chatrooms and had made friends on line. He decided those were the only friends she could have. He had alienated her from everyone except her family and co-workers. So over the last four years she became a constant on the site and had a steady online friendship with one member in particular. 

Yvray707 was a self publish author and Keyanna had a kindle full of her books. While on the blog other fans could log into a chat room and talk about the books or recent chapters added to Yvray707's current works. She was a member of the blogs fan link which allowed her to set up a user name and had access to an inbox for private messages and enabled her to have separate private chats with those members that like herself was considered a regular on the site. When she logged in she had a message. 

To: ExoticVampress

From: VampireKing

Vampress,

Where have you been? I look forward to our chats and miss you when you are not here. Come back please, I promise to be a good boy **wink**

Your King

Keyanna smiled. She and her king had the best chats. They could be chatting hours after all of the other fans had logged off of the site. They chatted about almost everything and nothing at the same time. Whenever Mr.VampireKing would ask a personal question Keyanna would abruptly end the chat and log off. That is what happened the last time they chatted and that was why he promised to be a good boy. Keyanna felt guilty for making him feel he had done something wrong. She decided to email him back and apologize.

To: VampireKing

From:ExoticVampress

King,

Please accept my apology. You did nothing wrong. Things on the home front have taken a turn for the worse and I wasn't ready to talk about them at the time that you asked. I am sorry if I made you feel as if you had done something wrong. That was not my intention. I wish I could make it up to you.

Always,

Your Vampress

A knock at the door got her attention just after she pressed send. 

"Who is it?" Keyanna yelled through the door while peeking through the keyhole. 

"Room service," The man in the hotel uniform on the other side of the door replied. 

Keyanna opened the door to let the server in and went to get her wallet to tip him. 

"No ma'am that is not needed your gratuity has been taken care of already," he said politely. 

Keyanna surprised replied, "Oh, okay. Umm, thank you." 

"You're welcome ma'am. If you need anything else please let us know. Good night and enjoy your stay," he said as he walk out of the door closing it behind him. 

Keyanna took her food off of the tray and went to the table. She sat her food down and got her laptop so she could read while she ate and saw the chat indicator.

VampireKing: Vampress are you there?

Keyanna continued to eat her food and typed into her laptop at the same time.

ExoticVampress: Yes, I am. How are you?

VampireKing: Great now that I can talk to you. Where have you been? Thanks for the apology. Are things at home better?

ExoticVampress: I'm glad to brighten your day! I have been dealing with some personal issues. No things at home are a wreck. 

VampireKing: anything I can do to help?

ExoticVampress: I wish it was. 

VampireKing: I am a great listener!

ExoticVampress: It's a long story too much to type.

VampireKing: Then call me....

ExoticVampress: I can't do that. First of all I don't know your real name, and I have no clue what you look like. I know we've been chatting for a few years now but...

VampireKing: that is a fair assessment. I will give you that. How about this, I'll show you mine if you show me yours. 

Keyanna was staring at her laptop as if it had grown a head. She was gearing up to tell him that she wasn't that kind of girl when she saw the indicator that she had a message in her inbox and an then an IM from Vampireking.

VampireKing: Check your inbox. 

ExoticVampress: ok.....just a sec.

Keyanna went to her inbox and opened the email. The body of the message just said to open the attachment. So that's what she did. When she opened the attachment she gasped. There was Vampirekings profile and a picture to boot. He was absolutely gorgeous if you can use that term to describe a man. His features made him look Italian. His profile said white male but he had the sexiest damn tan she had ever seen and mesmerizing green eyes. He had dark hair that was pulled into a ponytail, a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee and lips that looked like they would be fun to kiss. He was 37 years old and owned an architectural firm. Never been married and had no kids. The profile also contained his real name and telephone number. His real name was Kevin S. Weldon.

"Holy shit!" Keyanna thought. He has got to be the hottest damn thing walking. If she was honest with herself he was nothing like she had pictured him. In her mind he was just an average looking guy that shared a like interest in her favorite author. What she was seeing on her laptop was everything but. Keyanna also noted the almost instant attraction to him. Sure she had never physically seen or spoke to him but there was something about him that made Keyanna hot. It was refreshing, she didn't feel anything for Donovan anymore and he repulsed rather than aroused her. She shook her head to clear her mind and focused back on Vampireking/Kevin's picture and profile. "That is the sexiest vampire I have ever seen," she said to herself with a giggle. 

Keyanna believed in the put up or shut up philosophy so she returned the email with her profile and a picture too. She then replied via IM.

ExoticVampress: Nice Kevin, really nice! You are very handsome! I am pleased to finally meet you...the REAL you. LOL. Check your inbox..

VampireKing: Thanks for the compliment. Hold on a min...

Kevin opened the email and read the body of the email that said "Introducing" (see attachment)

Kevin smiled and proceeded to open the attachment. When Keyanna's profile came up her picture was first. Kevin literally could not breathe at the sight of her. She was beautiful and those eyes, clarified her use of the term exotic in her screen name. He was oblivious to the fact that she was black. Kevin was smitten just from seeing her picture and he knew it. He read her info and saw that she was only 28 years old with a birthday approaching. She worked at a law firm was separated and had no children. She was the complete opposite of what he expected. He was expecting a middle aged, bookworm with glasses. He definitely wasn't thinking of the exotic beauty that graced his screen at this moment. Kevin IM'd Keyana.

VampireKing: Wow! You are beautiful. Thank you, for sharing. So are you gonna call so we can talk? I have as much time as you need.

Keyanna decided that she suffered alone long enough. She had made the decision to leave Donovan the moment she went to see Weldon. She needed a friend and Kevin was offering himself and his ear. Besides Weldon Sinclaire she had no one else to talk to. So she figured what the hell. 




Keyanna and Kevin



ExoticVampres: Are you near your phone? I hope so...talk with you soon.

With that last line she logged off and grabbed the phone and dialed Kevin's number. The phone rang three times before Kevin answered. 

"Hello." 

"Hi, Kevin, This is Keyanna."
