What else can I do

Back on Black Rock Island

Van set in a lounge chair on the patio and Harper set between his legs leaning her back against his chest in a trance like state as she watched the sun gradually dipping lower in the sky, casting it's bright orange glow on the clear turquoise water. As the sun descended lower melting into the endless sea. The sky burst into beautiful brilliant colors that reflected on the surface of the water ,she became temporarily breathless. Mummers of ooh s and ah's escaped her lips, that she wasn't ever aware of.

Van watched her from the corner of his eye with a big smile on his gorgeous face,

pleased to know that the sun setting over the ocean makes his little witch this happy.

He wondered how much she knows about abilities. If she knows anything at all about vampires having abilities it would be easier to tell her about his ability to teleport .His castle isn't on the beach,

however popping over to the beach every evening wouldn't be a problem.

She has lived in Evanston all her life among vampires. She's also worked for Alexander and in a restaurant frequented by old aristocrats.

Surly she has at least heard stories ,or seen one of those old aristocrats use one of their abilities as a bar trick. It's not uncommon for them to do so, well there's only one way to find out.

" Darling,"Van called "how much to you know about the old aristocrats that lives in Jackson's neighborhood."

She grinned " they like to drink a lot."

Well, not the answer he expected to hear, however it's a true statement. He chuckled"I'm sure they do darling, other then that ,do you know some of them possess a few unique abilities?"

" I've heard that."

" What about Alexander have you heard anything about him having unique abilities?" He ask, hoping she's heard at least a few stories about how powerful Alex is. She seems to admire and respect him as a king and she's definitely not afraid of him, or she wouldn't work in his castle.

"I have," she replied, glancing up to look at him, her beautiful face holding a serious expression , "I've heard that King Alexander can be a very dangerous man if provoked."

He grinned, " That's true Darling, Alex possesses some very unique abilities that he inherited through his Royal bloodline. And if someone challenged him or provoked him he could use those abilities to end that person's life. But he's a very good man and don't go around just killing people for no reason, right?"

She nodded, " That's right, I don't believe I have ever seen King Alexander angry at anyone before."

" So would it make you happy if I told you there's a way that no matter where we are, you can watch the sunset over the ocean anytime you want to."

" That would be magical " she gushed,her beautiful face lighting up with wonder.

" Well darling stand up,and hug me,and I'll show you how I can make that happen." He grinned , helping her to stand up beside the chair they were setting in. " Now darling put your arms around my neck and close your eyes." He instructed ,which wasn't necessary for him to teleport them, he just likes her delicate little arms around him.

With in a blink of an eye he teleported them to his bedroom inside his castle."Now open your eyes Darling "

She blinked, her eyes wondered around the room " Wow! What , where, how did you do that?" She stammered dazed as her eyes scanned the lavish, over the top bedroom.

Decorated in soft gray and warm cream tones. The hand carved,dark rich gray wooden panel walls, and elaborate moldings reflected old world craftsmanship at it's finest.

The huge bronze chandelier hanging from the muraled ceiling,and the elevated platform in the center of the room with a king sized bed adorned in elegant cream and gray bedding.added texture and elegance to the room.

And the gleaming polished white marble floor with large plush cream and gray hand woven rugs scattered through the room. Spoke volumes about the wealth of the person that lives here.

He grinned " welcome to your new home darling."

" What?" She whispered

"We're in the castle at Vital, in our bedroom darling, do you like it?" He smiled , releasing her from his embrace and guiding her over to the sofa to set down. She was looking a bit dazed and confused,he was afraid she might faint any moment. "Are you okay darling?"

She nodded wordlessly

" Okay, good, now let me see if I can answer some of your questions. You see Darling, I too possess some abilities ,and the ability to teleport from places to place is one of them. So if there's anyplace in the world you would like to go,for example, if you would like to watch the sunset over the ocean, or if you would like to be one of the first people in the world to watch the sunrise on the beautiful Taveuni island in Fiji . Or perhaps ,you just want to go shopping in Paris, we can go anytime." He explained, watching her beautiful little face. Seeing she still didn't say anything. He coaxed her. " Darling you're scaring me say something.

"Wow " she breathed

"Darling, is that a good wow or a bad wow?" He ask with a gentle voice. Seeing she didn't answer. He tried to read her thoughts, finding her mind too muddled to process anything. He coaxed her to say something else. "Darling, please say something, I know this can be a bit overwhelming for you, but it's just an ability the same as those Alex possesses . However mine are slightly different."

"Wow that's so cool." She finally whispered

He grinned, " I'm glad you approve darling, would you like to look around your new home, or perhaps take a moment to relax and have a drink?"

" I think I need a few minutes." She replied, still sounding a little disoriented. Her eyes darting left and right over the room as she tried to take in her surroundings.

" Okay darling, just set here and relax,I'll make you a drink." He replied,patting her hand he was holding, before he stood up and walked over towards the mini bar to make them a drink. Using the same demon liquor he used in his helicopter. He made her a drink ,but this time he made it bit stronger. She definitely looked like she needed a strong drink.

"Here Darling" he handed the electric blue colored drink to her, making sure she had a secure hold on the glass before releasing it. She was already having a hard time, he didn't want to drench her in alcohol.

Taking the drink in her hand she took slow sips, her eyes still darting around the exquisitely decorated room,noticing it wasn't masculine or feminine. And unlike King Alexander and Queen Alexis newly decorated bedroom, it didn't have masculine and feminine touches mixed within the space.

This heavenly oasis is totally gender neutral,through out the whole room,

making it perfect for anyone. The high end design,made it fit for a King. At that thought she chuckled to herself, of course it was fit for a King .That's exactly who this godly handsome ,soft spoken man,that treats her special is. With that thought, a small smile bloom on her beautiful lips. She never thought that a man as handsome and powerful as he is would even spare a glance at her. But here she is,in a beautiful room with this handsome man who treats her like a Queen.

Seeing the little smile on her beautiful face he raised a dark brow " Darling, you're smiling,do you want to tell me why, if you do I promise to do what ever is making you happy more often."

" Oh Van" She gushed ,flinging her arms around his neck she hugged him tightly. "It's you, you make me happy." She wailed

A bright smile graced his face,as he peeled her arms from his neck to steal one light pecking kiss after another speaking to her between each smacking little kiss. " Tell me darling.xxx. .what else can. I do to make you happy.xxx anything darling, you name it.xxx would you like to go shopping,xxx perhaps go watch the sunset in a different part of the world.xxx. or maybe go to Niagara Falls."

"Stop" she giggled, placing both her hands on his cheeks holding his head in place to stop the kissing frenzy . " I don't want anything or to go anywhere"

" Are you sure darling" he asked with a wide smile plastered on his face.

"Maybe some dinner?" She replied

"Where would you like to dine darling? London, Paris, New York ,anyplace you want darling."

"How about here."

" Are you sure darling?" He questioned, he was slightly taken aback by her answer. His mate was a very contemptuous woman from an old aristocratic vampire family. A ravishing beauty that was bold, and arrogant with fiery red hair and a temper to match. She demanded elaborate shopping trips. Dresses made from the finest silk and dining in the finest restaurants around the world.

" Yes, anything is fine, if we have already missed dinner. We can just raid the fridge or have a pizza delivered." She replied,giving him options, just in case the kitchen staff has left for the evening.

" Raid the fridge" He repeated slowly with his dark brows furrowed in confusion. He had never heard the term before. He has raided villages, towns, countries and houses but never a fridge. " What does that mean darling?"

" You know , just go through the refrigerator and find whatever, like fruit, cheese,some ham" She shrugged " just whatever, like we did this afternoon when we had a snack." She explained
