Rico was watching Marissa closely while she was talking and kept seeing her looking in Dawn’s direction.  He knew she was worried and he knew he was going to have to tell her everything.  If he told her everything then maybe she would understand things a little better.  This might not happen overnight, but she would not be allowed to leave without him or one of the guards he will be placing on her.  His clan will not touch her now that is of course they want to stay immortal anyway.<br/><br/>“Marissa I want you to understand some things about me and my life.”  Rico stated as he took a drink of his wine.  “This is my world.”  He stated as he moved his hand out and around showing off his club.  “Everything in here is under my control.  I control the vampires who hang out here, and I also control the humans allowed in and out.”  He took a moment for that to sink in while he took another drink.  “No vampire in this bar will touch you, because they know that you belong to me.  That was Dawn’s problem to begin with; I had not staked my claim on you yet.”<br/><br/>Rico assumed this was probably a lot to take in at one time, but she needed to know what she had walked into.  “There are other clans out there and they might want to take you from me.  There is something about you blood I cannot explain right now, but it calls to vampires.  You must not let any other vampire drink from you but me.”  That was the one thing that scared him, because if another vampire got a hold of her they would taint their blood and it would taste foul to him.  “This is way you must stay with me from now on.”<br/><br/>Rico looked at her and give her a slight smirk, “Well becoming like me will be a choice of yours.  It doesn’t have to happen right away but sooner or later you will grow older and what would you want?”  Rico would never push her into anything.
