Marissa’s brow knitted as Ricco crawled off her body and went to his desk. Surprise and relief filled her as Ricco brought back the key and release her from the chain. Marissa didn’t think about making a run for the door. Now that she understood  his actions a little better.<br/><br/>Sighing a little when at Ricco’s kiss on her ankle were she had scratched it earlier that night. Enjoying this sweet gentle side of him. Soaking it up while she could. Knowing that she would not always get to see this side of him often. Why she knew this she couldn’t say. Perhaps because Ricco’s early actions or because of him telling her he did as he pleased. Whatever the reason, Marissa was going to enjoy this tender moment for as long as she could.<br/><br/>“No, of course not.”Marissa smirked  back at him. Ran a hand over his bold head when he laid it on her chest. Loving the closeness that thy were sharing. Her hand stilled as his dark brown eyes lock on to hers. It was as if he was trying read her soul. Shacking  off the feeling.<br/><br/>Maybe I have better luck than they did.” She said hopeful. Knowing that it was not going to be easy to know this man. Once again she got lost in his handsome brown eyes. Not know what he was searching for. She had no answers. Only thing she did know that she felt as if she was meant to be with him.Not knowing the why of it.<br/><br/>“I try to remember that.” She gave a gantle smile. Her hand went back to idly caress his head.  “ This isn’t going be easy for either of us. I fear. But I’m willing to give it a go. If you are.”<br/><br/><br/>“I know that you must be tried. But when you wake will you tell me more about you and your world, Maybe what you expect of me .” Marissa wanted to get to know this man. Vampire she amended. It might best to keep that in mind. She told herself. Something hard to do when he looked like a normal man.  A normal sexy handsome man.  Pushing that thought aside. If she was going to be his mate it would be good to  get to know him.
