She felt the shift and Lara collapse backwards onto the bed, between her legs. Lucky for her she had an extremely soft landing. Ella quickly let go of her girlfriend’s thighs only to pull the enchanted webbing from her eyes to see again.
“Lara!” She gasped.
The vampire snapped up and checked all the signs she could think of to make sure she was okay. The heartbeat was starting to steady and return to normal. Her breathing was solid and good. From an outside perspective Lara simply seemed exhausted. It didn’t help she was still recovering from the fight. Ella hated seeing those bruises.
She leant down, pushing back Lara’s hair off her face and gently placed a kiss to her forehead. “Why do I think you will make me pay for this?” Ella whispered, not knowing if Lara could hear at this moment in time.
For a while she stayed with Lara and carefully nestled her in the bed sheets on now what Ella was calling her side of the bed. An odd thought considering the Dean never thought she would be sharing any part of her apartment let alone her bed. After a couple of hours had passed Ella wrapped herself up in her usual red robe and headed for the kitchen. It was moments like this she was thankful her apartment was open plan as she could keep an eye on Lara sleeping, making sure she was okay.
Barely half way into making them some food her security team flashed up on one of her TV screens alerting her to someone coming. When the photo of the man popped up Ella dismissed the call, signalling the team to stand down. Shortly after that there was sharp knock at the door.
Ella opened the door and allowed a dwarf to walk into the apartment, pressing her finger against her lips to tell him to keep quiet. The dwarf who was dressed extremely smart with a white shirt and glamourous waistcoat, got the message and glanced over to the bed, almost shocked that someone else was in Ella’s apartment.
“Food?” He whispered, an eye brow of curiosity up at his vampire friend. Ella smirked, closing the door behind him and pointing to the mirroring couches in front of the fire place. “Girlfriend.”
He looked confused by the statement and wandered over to the couches as quietly as he could. In that time Ella fixed the two of them a drink and used her limited magic to start the fireplace. “I take it you got my invite for the weekend?” He climbed up onto the spot closest to the fire and grinned. “I did indeed. Very excited to finally meet what all the buzz has been about” Lars nodded to a mass of bedsheets which were slowly rising up and down.
The vampire traced the rim of her glass with her finger. “Why do I get the feeling this is being made a bigger deal than it is and you’re here to tell me about it?”
“The bar has been full of rumours my dear but as your friend you know I always give you the heads up of what I hear. In return you have kept my secret. It’s the least I can do.”
Ella looked up. “Nothing has changed Lars.”
“Ella, if the board, if the werewolves think you have a weakness and know it is her she will not last. You need to end this right now before you put her life in danger.” Lar’s took a sip of his drink, trying to calm him nerves. “They do not know of her yet but it is a matter of time. They knew something was up when one of your own kind betrayed you and you failed to kill him.”
Ella rolled her eyes. “So I have a reputation for killing. Sometimes it works in my favour to set an example.”
The dwarf stared at her. “Or is it because the human is making you soft?”
Lar’s spoke louder than he had meant to. It was loud enough that Ella looked back over her shoulder to check if he had woken Lara up. Convinced she was still asleep Ella’s eyes narrowed.
“I would watch your tongue.” She snapped. “I appreciate the warning but the board won’t find out and even if they manage to it will be a cold day in hell before anyone touches her.”
The dwarf knocked back his drink. “I want to meet her. Bring her to my bar tomorrow night?
Before she could answer Ella heard a noise coming from the sheets and waited to see if it was Lara waking up or rolling over.
