    She shivered. Kiara found herself inside a cold room where all the blood was stores in the Compton Mansion. The King seemed insistent in only bottled blood lately despite there being plenty of willing humans; especially ladies who wanted to get bitten by him. She shook her head as she continued to check off the inventory. She didn’t care much for the donors. Yes she ran a budding business but she could never see herself being that willingly bitten for money, but the same could be said for street workers wanting to support a family.

    After running inventory, seeing there was some blood that needed to be restocked she left the room. Once outside she shivered and rubbed her arms. It had been really cold in there and even her hotter than normal were temperature had dropped a bit. She waved to some of the guards who were doing their usual rounds and headed down another hallway that would lead her downstairs. She’d give the donors a look see, some of them were getting a bit stir crazy, and a few of the women were getting a bit King Crazy. It seemed the King like dessert with his dinner and the women couldn’t get enough. If all seemed well then she’d taken an early night and go find some real dinner.

    Bill Compton had been fully insistent that the cooler remain fully stocked with bottled blood, his firm expectations on remaining to mainstream was fully drummed into him, believing that vampires and humans could co-exist in the world together. Although this idea was not seen by all other vampires nor humans, but it was what Bill believed. Although as King he had the deep indiscretion of feeding on very many willing donors who would queue to be bitten, sampled and on occasion thoroughly sated by him physically. Having heard that his of uncanny abilities to satisfy woman with his fine tuned skills in the bedroom.

    After completing his daily duties which consisted of mounds of phone calls, paper filing and sending out emails requesting daily reports from his sheriff's, and also leaving a message with Pam that he wished to speak with Eric, knowing that he would have been with Sookie. Dismissing vivid images from his mind, he left his office catching the scent of something unusually different that the smell of arousal that was always thick and heavy in the air. He followed his nose as he ended up in the kitchen, seeing his new employee that he had snatched away from Eric Northman, gaining one up on his loathed Sheriff.

    "Settling in well Miss Griffen?" he quizzed as he stood at the doorway.

    Kiara had been talking with Martin; the good natured cook of the mansion. He had offered her a taste of some french toast he'd made which had made her moan in delight. People often forgot they could eat around a vampire, but Kiara had no desire to forget one of her primary pleasures.

    She had been chuckling up with Martin before he became silent and turned around. The reason for his change evident in the voice that came through.

    "Settling in well Miss Griffen?"

    Kiara wiped her fingers and lips with a napkin and nodded, turning around and putting on her polite face. A lesser man would have been gelded for interrupting her food pleasure but he was a boss so she figured he deserved some leniency.

    "Yes sir... quite well" she answered. The King was a study in opposites. A vampire yet he took good care of his human staff, he fed on blood yet he insisted on bottled blood. A seemingly unemotional creature yet from what she'd been told by Eric Northman, the King had fallen head over heels for a woman whom he was suppose to seduce and deliver to the previous queen.

    "Yes sir... quite well"

    Bill noted that his human chef Martin, whom he had hired to cater for his human guests and for all his other employees was becoming very friendly with Miss Griffen. Work relationships was not something that Bill approved of, especially since the Portia incident.

    "Martin, would you please leave Miss Griffen and I for a moment" he instructed him.

    "Of course your Majesty" he bowed as he left the kitchen instantly.

    Bill closed the door to the kitchen, leaving Miss Griffen sampling various foods that Martin had prepared.

    "I do hope that you find everything to your liking. I excel in making sure all of my employees are catered for in their every need" he spoke as he moved across the room in a glide of excellence.

    Kiara quirked a brow when the King ordered Martin out. She shrugged however and picked up a few strawberries to nibble on.

    "I do hope that you find everything to your liking. I excel in making sure all of my employees are catered for in their every need"

    She bit back the urge to laugh. She wasn't sure if "His Majesty" was aware that during the day his human staff resembled more of a college fraternity. They got drunk, the guards fucked most of the willing female donors. They played games and relaxed well.

    "Yes...everything is just perfect" she said with a smile. Things were great since she didn't spend her days in the mansion. She still drove home, got to go on runs as a wolf so when she returned to work she was quite mellow and willing to be around a Southern vampire.

    Bill perched himself on a stool as he sat at large oval table, his feet tucked under his stool as he leaned forward on his arm.

    "So...I am curious. How does a young girl like you end up working for Eric Northman?" he quizzed.

    Primarily he had found Miss Griffen working for Eric Northman, and to make sure that Eric knew where he stood whilst under Bill's ruling, he had taken her employment as a way of showing whom had the most power.

    She blinked. An odd question but one that wasn't private in its answer.

    "The same way all young girls find themselves with vampires. We were unfortunate enough to be pulled into their world. Unlike other girls however I made a profit out of the fangers" she said with a wicked grin.

    The moment her business had taken hold she remembered Mr. Northman almost demanding prime donors for his business and it had been a match made in profit heaven since then.

    "I suppose Mr. Northman found something he liked so he hired me"

    Bill smirked at her way of using the word 'fangers' as he leaned back in his seat.

    "Touche" he smirked "I know Eric Northman, far better than I wish to...He is not one to settle for just any kind of a business agreement...So if i may ask, what is it about your business that intrigued Mr Northman so much. Surely a donor is just a donor" he stated a fact.

    He folded his arms across his chest as he waited for her answer.

    She raised a strawberry to her lips and took a bite of it, making that simple gesture almost seem obscene.

    "Of course... just like a strawberry is just a strawberry. However there is a marked taste difference between what is pure... and what is tainted. Mr Northman wanted donors with the sweetest blood, free of drugs and vices. Donors whose diets I could regulate to alter the blood to his tastes" she said casually.

    She used her finger to pick up the fat bead of strawberry juice that trickled down her chin then brought it up to her lips to lick.

    "Perhaps even procuring donors of....rare pedigree" she added.

    Interesting, Bill knew that Eric always thought of himself much higher in the hierarchy that just the Sheriff of Area 5, and that he was entitled to the finest blood that was available to him. Although as King of Louisiana, the finest bloods were entitled to him, but Bill had chosen to steer clear of donors and resume drinking True Blood.

    "Perhaps that of a Fae bloodline I assume?" he questioned

    Kiara shrugged. "He requests...I procure. I don't ask questions as those tend to get anyone killed" she said with a shrug as she went for another strawberry.

    "But no, seeing as how you're going there... Mr Northman has not requested for donors under the fae bloodline"

    She never understood why vampires were so.. frosty against each other. Yes even wolves bickered but only if a pack threatened another. Aside from that wolves didn't bother those who didn't bother them. Maybe it was just something an animal could do better than a vampire.

    So it seemed that Eric was not exploiting his need to consume more Fae blood knowing the affects that it had on vampires, the ability to walk in the sunlight for a short period of time, he found it curious.

    "Well perhaps you should keep that knowledge of the Fae bloodline out of sight and out of mind Miss Griffen. I do not wish for it to become public knowledge, as it would put those i care about very deeply at risk" he instructed subtly.

    She grinned and extended her hand. "As with all my customers... you pay for secrecy your Majesty... one doesn't just keep secrets out of the goodness of their hearts" she said with a playful look in her eyes.

    She figured all this had to do with the blonde woman The King and Northman seemed to always fight over. She didn't care however. She ran a business and if the King wanted her to not advertise Fae donors then he better pay up the cost to be so selective.

    "As with all my customers... you pay for secrecy your Majesty"

    Bill smirked as he shook his head a little.

    "Business first as always I seem...Work out how much it would cost, and send me the bill. There shall an added extra bonus for you discretion on this matter"

    He stood from his chair as he headed round to the fridge, gently brushing past Miss Griffen to retrieve a bottle of cold True Blood as he popped it into the microwave and waited for it ping.

    She nodded, her mind already running the numbers. She felt him brush by her and paused. His skin was so cold in comparison to hers. Not that she spent much time thinking about his skin or temperature, although she did once get curious and asked one of the donors what was it like to shag an ice cube.

    "Oh sweetie...you ain't lived 'till you've done a vampire. Forget the energizer bunny...that man can go all night and never get tired" had been the response from the donor.

    Kiara found herself smirking. If only the humans knew how a wolf's libido and sex drive worked then they'd see no vampire could compare BUT perhaps she was biased in that respect.

    As he waited for the microwave to ping, a few more seconds on the clock it pinged. Opening the microwave and taking out the True Blood he shook it as he warmed it to the way he liked it. Taking a large mouthful of the now warmed thick red liquid, feeling it glide down his throat.

    "I shall be having some guests over for a celebration of sorts, to celebrate my reign as Monarch. I am fully satisfied with your capability to cater for vampire clientele, but there is something else that i must ask of you" he left out there.

    She nodded "And what would that be your Majesty?" she asked. Part of her was thinking about what things vampires liked, another part of her had gone off on a tangent about how she hadn't gotten laid in a while and how Quinn hadn't returned her call, and yet another part of her wanted to ignore the world and dig into the cheesecake she'd spied in the fridge.

    Bill cleared his throat as he took another sip from his True Blood, before placing it on the counter.

    "Well as the King of Louisiana, I have a certain image to uphold. I require as escort for the event. Of course you shall be fully paid for your attendance. It would not look good on me for attending my own celebrations alone" he smirked.

    She quirked a brow. "An escort? I don't think you would look very well taking a wolf into a den of vampires... last I checked your kind and mind were not on the best of terms" she said casually.

    Granted she'd been Northman's escort a few times but mostly because that way he could party and she would be stuck with all the work.

    He nodded simultaneously as he left his bottle of True Blood on the side, of course he had not taken her second nature into consideration.

    "I thought this was a free country and vampires and wolves could get along for one evening" he smirked.

    He reached for his True Blood and drained the entire bottle in one swift mouthful before he deposited the empty bottle into a trash can.

    "Well..Perhaps if you change your mind Miss Griffen....And please call me Bill" he smirked as he turned and left the kitchen and headed straight back into his office.

    Kiara sighed. On one hand the money would be great. She'd been looking for funds to add another wing to her work compound and hire a doctor full time for the donors, on the other hand spending the night trying to make nice with vampires....


    money or pride....money or pride....

    "Your Majesty wait..." she found herself saying, turning around and rushing at normal speed to his office. In the end she was always a bought woman... her real pride had been killed long ago.

    "...if the compensation is fair...I shall accompany you..." she said, again doing her best to put on a pleasant face.

    Bill was already sat at his desk and had begun working through his new load of files that had been delivered to his desk.

    "...if the compensation is fair...I shall accompany you..."

    Bill laid his pen on the desk as he looked up to see that Miss Griffen had joined him in his office.

    "I can assure you that the compensation shall be very fair" he smirked.

    He reached into his desk drawer which held various papers as he pulled out a cheque book. Bill had obtained a certain amount of wealth when his Maker Lorena had met the True Death by the hands of Sookie Stackhouse, and as he ascension to King of Louisiana added more wealth to his own personal pocket, he had more money than sense. Espcially when it came to spending on his progeny Jessica Hamby. As he began to write down the amount as he signed his signature on the bottom. He handed over the cheque which displayed the total amount of $10,000

    Kiara looked at the check. Woah... she wished she could just drop 10 large without batting an eyelash BUT...

    "Thank you sir... " she said, figuring she'd dip into it a bit, buy a nice dress then put the rest back into her business.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the night of the party~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Kiara had been spending several hours trying to get ready. Curse the female genes of perfection. She'd already chosen her nicest, most comfortable lingerie, not that it mattered since no one would be seeing that tonight.

    The better nights  2mournl

    As she looked at the dress she'd chosen she had to remove the straps of her bra, leaving it strapless. A bit of well placed body tape kept the bra on her body before she slipped on her dress.

    The better nights  17660-2

    She figured she couldn't go wrong with black. A nice jeweled bodice added some sparkle while keeping everything elegant. A pair of diamond earrings and a few bracelets on her wrist and that completed her look.

    She was barely grabbing her purse when her doorbell rang, signaling the arrival of the car the King had sent. Well, it was now or never as she made sure her hair looked nice before she headed outside, letting herself be whisked away.

    "I want guards stationed around the perimeter...There are some important guests arriving tonight. I shall not take the chance with anything. Sort it immediately!" Bill barked at a team of his guards.

    Bill's guests would be arriving soon and the kitchen staff were busy preparing for any humans that his vampire guests would bring with them. Everything had to be in order, perfect for the occasion. He had sent a car to collect Miss Griffen from her home to arrive prompt at 8pm which is when the other guests should arrive.

    Bill had opted for a simple black tux with no tie as he did not like those things to begin with. He could hear cars begin to approach his home, he glanced at the clock, it was 7:30pm, his guests were arriving early.

    As Bill cleaned himself down, he went to approach the main entrance to his home, as two of his staff opened the door he found someone whom he had not seen since his visit to Texas; Isabel Beaumont.

    "Mr Compton...What a pleasure to see you again" she smirked.

    "Miss Beaumont. Such a surprise to see you" he smirked.

    "Are the others arriving? Perhaps a date for yourself. How is Miss Stackhouse?" she questioned.

    "Miss Stackhouse and I are no longer together...But yes, my escort shall be here momentarily....A drink?" he asked.

    "Of course" she grinned as she headed into the grand hall. Where was she? She was supposed to be here, he only hoped that she would arrive early. As more cars pulled up into the drive, everything was now getting into full motion.

    The car stopped right at the door of the mansion. The driver opened the door for her and she got out. She could sense a few vampires around, and more than a few eyes landed on her, wondering who she was here with, or for...

    She was escorted inside and taken directly to the King. She did a quick walk by one of the reflective surfaces in the hallway, checking her appearance. She looked fine, and with the use of a subtle de-scenting body wash she smelled only of fresh peaches and not of wolf.

    "Your Majesty... Miss Griffen has arrived" said one of the guards as he escorted Kiara to him.
