Spirit Sorceress: Spirit Sorceress: Book 1 by D. L. Harrison Page B

hard to read a
soul to get a list of drinks and how to make them in my head.
    After that, it would just be practice.
    The first time a man bumped into me and just started dancing
with me I was taken off guard, but I have to admit, it was kind of fun.  I
wasn’t interested in anything more, I had too much going on already, plus,
after finding out who my soul mate was earlier, the last thing I wanted to do
was settle right now.  Still, a little flirty dancing was exhilarating.
    After about six songs, we went to the bar and got some
drinks.  Lisa said something about iced tea, and a long island of some
kind I think.  It didn’t make much sense.  Whatever it was, it was
really good, so I had a second glass.
    The night got kind of hazy after that…
     
    Ugh, light, bad.  I reached over to the night table and
pulled on my sunglasses, and then squint glared at my curtains, which obviously
weren’t thick enough.  I looked down, and saw I was wearing the sexy black
panties and matching bra that I’d had under my dress last night.  Then I
felt a presence next to me and turned my head in alarm.
    At first I was relieved, it was just Lisa.  But then I
noticed she was in her under things too.
    “What the hell happened last night?” I asked dazedly.
    Lisa looked at me smolderingly, and her voice was sultry,
“You were fantastic last night lover.”
    I gaped at her like a fish and was completely speechless, and
finally she giggled.
    “Sorry, that was just too easy, you should’ve seen your
face.  Kidding, we were both a little drunk.  Okay, I was a little
drunk, you were three sheets to the wind.  You can’t hold your liquor
girl, so watch that.  Anyway, after getting you in bed I kind of passed
out next to you.”
    “Without your dress?”
    She shrugged, “I don’t remember that part, maybe I took it
off in my sleep, it was uncomfortable.”
    “Umm, did I do anything… bad?”
    She grinned, “Like dance on a table, or tease all the guys?”
    She was enjoying this way too much.
    I glared, “Yes, like that.”
    Lisa snickered, “No, nothing like that.  You were a
little wild and flirty on the dancefloor, but no more than anyone else.”
    I pictured the way some of the woman around us had been
grinding on men on the dance floor last night, from both the front and back,
and wondered if what she said should make me feel in any way relieved.
    Oh damn…  what the hell did I do last night?
    I considered reading my own soul to find out.  It was
like a black box on a plane, it never forgot anything and couldn’t be tampered
with, unlike the physical mind.  Maybe later, I wasn’t sure if I truly
wanted to know anyway. 
    I groaned.
    Lisa giggled at me, again, “Poor Miku.  I need to get
to work, just think of the rumors when I do the walk of shame from your
apartment to mine.”
    I glared at her as she hopped up.  I knew damn well she
didn’t swing my way, no more than I swung hers.  There wouldn’t be
anything wrong with that of course, it just wasn’t either of us.  If I’d
been thinking straight when I woke up she couldn’t have fooled me like that
earlier.
    I did smile as she put on her dress and left, after all, I
was almost positive she was a friend.  An evil friend that liked to tease
me a little too much, but still a friend.
    I groaned and rolled out of bed, and went into the
shower.  After putting on a dressy casual skirt and blouse, with two inch
heeled sandals, I went downstairs to hunt down breakfast.
    That’s when I realized I wasn’t thirsty at all, which was a
little disturbing, I wondered who I drank from last night.  Later, I’d
look later if my feeble mind didn’t recall it.  It was a plan anyway.
    As I devoured breakfast I felt Melody come in the
room.  I could hardly miss her, she was a beacon of power.  It would
be like ignoring a nuclear reaction.  It was strange to realize none of
the other vampires could feel that, just another sorcerer or sorceress.  I
hadn’t
