Hi Trader,
A lot of people have suspected as you do that Vlad's feelings for Cat are more than friendly. Here is an answer from Jeaniene in a recent interview. Also, here is the link if you would like to read the entire interview: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=816&start=10

14. In relationship to Cat and Vlad, is there an underlying meaning to their closeness? It seems as though there was an instant trust between the two of the (faster than Cat trusting Bones). Granted Vlad has stated that he means nothing more, but is that really true? There seems to be so much more to that relationship/ friendship than Vlad is leading on.

Yes, Cat trusted Vlad quicker than she did Bones in the beginning, but Vlad didn’t have all those “vampires are evil!” prejudices to overcome that Bones did. Cat and Vlad do have an unusual bond considering they haven’t known each other very long, but that sort of thing isn’t unheard of. In my own life, there are a few people I’ve met where I felt an instant, unexplained affinity and become fast friends with them – and there have been other people who immediately set off my internal warning bells. Sometimes, you just “click” with someone. And sometimes, you meet a person that makes your skin crawl within ten seconds flat. A few people have wondered about comments Vlad made in AGE that hinted at an attraction to Cat. Let me clarify: Cat’s a beautiful, unusual woman and Vlad’s a red-blooded male, so yes, an indecent thought or two crossed his mind when they first met, but it really didn’t go further than that. Vlad’s continued interest and support for Cat is based on friendship, not romantic feelings. This is something of a spoiler but I want to be clear: a Bones/Cat/Vlad triangle is NOT going to happen.
"If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again…" --Bones

I am so glad that Jeaniene mentioned that, now I can home beyond hope for a Bones/The Mrs/Vlad triangle ;)

Remember, Cat is a vampire now. I would delete the Bones part of that wish if I were you. That vamp jealousy thing and all. Besides, I can't see Bones and Vlad cooperating at the same time anyway!

I LOVE Vlad! I'm glad to see that Cat has a friend she can talk with who lives in her world. And I love the part when they are talking about publicity stunts. And Vlad says "What, did Anne Rice not return your calls, Mate?"
"Kitten, you need to make a decision. Either we stay here and behave or we leave now and I promise you” his voice dipped lower and the words fell against my lips “if we leave, I won’t behave." ~ Jeaniene Frost

I love Vlad, i think Vlad has been portrayed in an excellent way. Ive not read many Drac books. I have seen a few movies of him. BUT i have to say i love him in this series.

As for there being more to his feeling for Cat, well i think there is something. as cliche as it would be i wonder if she is a reincarnation of Vlads wife. hey she was so quick to want to throw herself off the cliff, just as Vlads wife did. Did Vlad pre-empt her decsion, he obvioulsy heard it in her thoughts, else why was he at the cliff too. I think his feelings could be more than platonic, but as a Vampire he knows she is out of bounds and isnt going to start a war over her, or risk his death by making a move. He knows what Crispin thinks of Tate for being openly in love with Cat and he doesnt want to risk it. There is a connection between Vlad and Cat that is for sure, will we find out more, i hope so.

I think a Vlad book would be awesome. i think that he has a massive following. PLEASE do a book on him. :D

just read that a Bones/Cat/Vlad triangle is not gonna happen, not that i thought it would, but there is some sort of deep connection between them, even if its not sexual or romantic. there is something there. :?:

This is the first time that I ever read anything about Dracula (although I think I watched a movie where Jack Nicholson was a vamp, think it was Drac... no idea) But I have always avoided 'him' because i knew it wasn't a pretty story. And this last two books (and Ian's quip about him in Spade's book) has me super curious about him!

I LOVE Vlad Ţepeş!! He is my favorite secondary character, and thou I fell in love with him on the cliff scene, my heart did little flip-flops on the movie theater. (It bugs me that no1 here has even mentioned that scene, he was both awesome and adorable!) That was when I started noticing him with more than just a, 'huh...famous...okay' kind of attitude.

Cat and Bones are the MUST couple, and always will be. But, is it so wrong of me to want a sexual tension filled scene with Cat and Vlad? Even if nothing happens, and they both shake their heads and take cold showers and all? I have to admit, that if an evil Muse inspired Jeaniene to spilt C&B for good, I would be screaming VLAD, VLAD, VLAD, hoping Cat would hear me =D

*sighs dramatically* Vlad is honest, if not blunt; if he had deeper feelings for Cat i doubt anything could have stopped him from at least expressing it. He has never been afraid of admit his feelings to her, that he is lonely, that he regrets not telling the truth to his wife sooner, that he would help her as long as it doesn't get him or his' killed... see?

I can always dream of my own slumber party with Dracula ^_^ my back pressed against his bare chest, his scared hands embracing me.. *sighs*

lanilani26 i agree with you about the movie theatre scene, it was pretty cool having Cat teasing him, i too had little flip flops in my heart during that scene, im not sure why though. Must be be awesome way that Jeaniene writes.

also agree that it would be awesome to have a sexual tension scene that has them walking away going no no no cant do this. but SHE has already said that there wont be a a triangle between Vlad/Cat/Bones. Sad as it as.

I hope that Vlad appears lots in the next few books as he is very impressive and somewhat important to Cat. Cat has been told that she must be something special as Vlad has named her as his friend which is pretty impressive

I just wouldn't like a sexual tension scene between the both of them. It would just stick to the story, just imo. And for once we have a couple which lasts and love each other in this kind of series, let's not waste it^^ :D
