Chapter 9

Nick was at the council meeting even though he lurked quietly in the shadows.  That was one thing about being a vampire.  He also had for some strange reason become psychically linked to the Empress Menarche. Or some link of some kind it just might not be psychically but anyway he was to follow the Empress into her chambers after the meeting.

 

Nick stood in the door way just kinda leaning on the jamb watching the Empress mess with one the many human slaves she had in her ensemble.

 

“Ahh, young Nickolas, please come in and sit.  I have a special gift for you.” Empress motioned for him to sit. Nick calmly entered the small room and sat on the first available seat stretching out his long legs as he slumped downwards.  He looked at all the human slaves as the Empress still went about busing her self.

 

“What is this special gift you have for me?” Nick’s soft voice cut the silence that was almost deafening. The Empress went into a back room of sorts and returned with a young woman who looked not older than 25 years of age. She chocolate brown eyes and mocha skin, a body that wasn’t terribly thin nor was she considered fat or even big boned just a nice shape.  She had hair that came to about her shoulders with curls much like the young lovable Shirley Temple of the silver screen.  Nick knew that this must be his special gift.  He very much liked that he was gonna have something that was his and not the groups.

 

“This is Dema; she has been trained to serve her master well.  She is also one of my best slaves so I expect her to be treated with respect and she will do the same to you.” Empress stated with authority that nobody could deny.

 

“Yes, Empress, I promise to treat her fairly.  I just ask is there any chance that the other guys will also receive a gift as special as this?” He asked almost shyly

 

“No Nickolas.  Alexander and Kevin have each other as well Brian and Howard.  Though as a group you may receive gifts if you deem yourselves worthy.” She left no point of argument which Nick just bowed gracefully to her highness and walked out with Dema.
