up dead, but couldn’t. Zachariah
decided that he’d take the man to the dumpster and heave him inside.
The girl in the alley came to him again.
She’d been there, her and someone else. He knew it as surely as he was standing
here. And he knew that he’d have to go back to the hotel and see if it was
them. Because he also knew that the male, the young vampire he’d smelled there
also, had been there with her.

Andi moved to the upper levels. She
needed to breathe and couldn’t in the room with Mac. She shivered when she
thought of the fact that neither of them seemed to have any problems breathing
last night. Christ, but the man could make her scream.
After the meeting he’d taken her down to
the lair, he’d called it. It was strange to know that they’d had sex there only
hours before, but now she felt shy around him. Mac didn’t say much, but went to
the bathroom and started to run a bath. She walked to the wall of CDs and
looked at the titles.
She’d never been much of a music person.
She’d only turned on the radio the other day just to annoy him. Singing along
with it had been mostly her humming, but it played into her plan of pissing him
off. She was just putting a brightly-colored case back on the shelf when he
came out of the room.
“Come here. I’ve run you a bath and
thought you’d enjoy me washing your hair.” He sounded so unsure of himself that
she went to him without making a comment. “Then I thought I’d give you a body
massage. Would you like that?”
“I’ve not had a bath in years. Most of
the places I stay at have showers and nothing more.” She looked at him when he
started to unbutton her shirt. “I can do this, you know. I’ve been undressing
myself for a long while now.”
When she tried to push his hands away he
kissed her nose and put her hands on the sink behind her. “Leave them there
until I get you naked. A bath is so much more enjoyable when you’re naked.”
A lot of things were more fun when you
were naked, but she didn’t say that. She watched as he moved the buttons
through the tiny holes and then slipped it off her shoulders. He moved between
her legs when he sat her on the counter. He didn’t touch her sexually, not
really, but it was the most erotic thing she’d ever had done to her. When he
let her hair down from her ponytail she felt as if he had freed each follicle
and massaged it. She moaned once and looked up at him with hooded eyes.
“You’re going to be in big trouble here
if you stop right now.” She almost didn’t recognize her own voice. “Make love
to me, Mac. I want to remember this night for the rest of my life.”
He paused for a few seconds before he
stepped back. She thought he was going to leave her, but he only unsnapped her
pants and, when she lifted her ass up for him to take them off, she watched him
run his fingers down her thighs to her knees and back up again.
“Your skin is so soft. Warm and soft.”
When he touched her belly, she felt the air rush from her lungs. “You’re
beautiful. Very beautiful, and all mine.”
She watched him as he finished filling
the tub. Then he added bath salts and lit large, fat candles. The room was
aglow with them and when he turned off the light it gave the room a romantic
flare. Pulling her to her feet, he took her to the edge of the tub.
And what at tub it was. It had to have
been made just for him. It was long and wide and she was sure that several
people all his height could easily fit into it. She thought of something just
as he put his hands on her hips.
“How many women have you had here? In
this room? How many have you seduced in this way?” He had to have heard the
hurt. He didn’t say anything, but she knew it.
“No one. You’re the only woman I’ve had
in this room, in that bed, and especially in this tub. I’ve never brought a
woman to this house before you.” He dropped to his knees to pull off her
panties and she watched him as he barely touched her skin
decided that he’d take the man to the dumpster and heave him inside.
