All for One

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there was a sane, single and happy private investigator named Victoria Nelson……Not.

Vicky sat at her desk and tried to enjoy a strong cup of coffee with a side of extra strength aspirin.

“Would you two just stop, we really need to get something accomplished today.  She glared at the men in the room.  Mike ( Read more... )

Chapter Fourteen

A New Beginning

Later Vicky and Henry were snuggled up together in his bed.  They had made love more than once and were both trying to catch their breath.   Suddenly Vicky nudged Henry.  “Henry, HENRY. You left the light on in the living room!” she said excitedly.

“Hmmm, I’ll turn it out later” he then started to nibble ( Read more... )

Chapter Thirteen

Mike entered Vicky’s office a little before 3 in the afternoon. He stuck his head around the door and peeked inside.

“Can I come in?” he asked quietly.

“I can’t stop you” she replied.  “Although I’m not the one you need to talk to”

“I’ve really made a mess of things haven’t I Vick?” ( Read more... )

Chapter Twelve

Just before the sun streamed into the bedroom, Henry had closed the blinds.  “I’m feeling brave but not stupid. Until I know this is working I’m playing it safe”   Later as he drifted off to sleep, instead of passing out like the dead, Vicky again asked Henry where her clothes were.  Sleepily he’d replied “In the dresser, with mine” ( Read more... )

Chapter Eleven

Awakening

Vicky stretched her arms above her head and almost purred.  She had never felt so satisfied and happy in her life.  And so stupid, how could she have denied herself this feeling for more than a year.  And it was all because of Henry.   HENRY! Where was Henry?  And where were her clothes?  Taking the top sheet off the bed ( Read more... )

Chapter Ten

The Kiss

“You mean we can mate for our lifespan?” Henry asked hopefully. He had moved to the loveseat where Vicky was and sat on the arm. He hadn’t noticed that his hand had slipped to stroke along her neck.  Vicky had, and found she was holding her breath, waiting for Kathy’s reply as well.

“Of course you can.” They both breathed again ( Read more... )

Chapter Nine

“After Byron’s discoveries became more widely know and used, it was decided that a governing body would be needed to create laws and to enforce them when necessary. It was decided that if we were to indeed coexist with each other, and the rest of the world, this Congress would be needed. Even the old guard is beginning to accept this.”

Chapter Eight

The look on Henry’s face was one Vicky thought she’d never see. He looked totally dumfounded. He finally managed to say “Excuse Me? Did you just say lifemate? She wants Celluci for her mate? CELLUCI?!”

“Uh huh” Vicky quietly said as she nodded her head.

“Did she say why?” he asked quietly, too quietly for Vicky’s comfort.

Vicky went ( Read more... )

Chapter Seven

“Ok Vic, just what were you trying to pull last night” Mike asked as he entered her office with two large coffees.

“You look like hell Mike, what time did you get to bed, and where?” Vicky said as she accepted one of the large containers.

“Late, and it’s none of your business. Now answer my question. What’s going on, why are you ( Read more... )

Chapter Six

A couple of minutes later Mike walked into the office.

“What’s going on with Fang Boy?” he looked around and saw that Kathy was there as well as Vicky. She was looking at him with her eyebrow raised in question.

“Sorry didn’t realize Vicky wasn’t alone, just a friendly nick name for Henry.” He added quickly.

“Did you talk to him?” Vicky ( Read more... )
