. Mike wants to talk to you. Shit, Chris!Shock didn t begin to describe the look on his face.She merely handed him thephone and leaned against the door frame, looking him up and down.Dear God, he washuge.Yes, sir, class had officially begun.He was the mold with which all men should becast.His shoulders were rounded with muscles, his pecs were flawless, and his abs weredefined to the point it caused her to drool.And it only got better from there.Hello, Mr.Johnson, let me show you to your table.He was rock hard, and as she looked up to meet his gaze, she finally knew sheaffected him.Good. Your sister s an imp.She licked her lips.There was a knock at the front door.Without thinking she turned to answer it.Gabeput a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back. Oh, she mouthed.Duh.She forgot she was in peril.All she had been thinkingabout was Gabe s booty.Well, that wasn t all she d been thinking about.He shoved her into the bathroom, wrapped a towel around his waist, and went toanswer the door.Why couldn t she concentrate on important things like imminent death at the handsof crazy men out to destroy rogue vampires? Instead, she was thinking up ways to seeGabe naked.Again.She left the bathroom and went to the door of the bedroom and pressed her ear to it. No, thank you.She heard the front door close.Gabe opened the door and walked into the bedroom. Housekeeping.She wanted to know if we needed anything.He started talking to Mike again as he walked to the bathroom.She was so tempted to pull that towel off him she had to slap her own hand away.Coffee, coffee, coffee.She went into the kitchen again to get her cup, only to find a strange man leaningagainst the countertop.He was wearing a fluffy blue bathrobe and tiger-print slippers thatdid nothing to ease her anxiety.Fear took hold of her, and Gabe s name was set to roll offher lips when the man spoke. Good morning, Chris.She recognized the voice instantly. You re that asshole vampire from last night. Refusing to be scared, she motionedfor him to move aside so she could get into the small kitchen. Do you make it a habit topop in whenever you please?He looked offended as he allowed her access. I am not a vampire. Yeah, right.No offense, buddy, but normal people don t just pop in and out ofpeople s abodes like you just did. Again, I am not a vampire.Notice the teeth?She leaned forward and peered at his opened mouth.Nope.No fangs there.Okaaaay. Then what are you? He was just leaving. Gabe came out of the bedroom.He had thrown on whiteboxer briefs and a black T-shirt, apparently forgoing his shower for the moment.Fromthe look on his face, he was less than pleased with their guest.He handed her her cellphone.Holy sweet Jesus, she could look at him forever.Weren t some relationships basedsolely on sex? Sure, he might be leaving soon, but what was wrong with a little actionbefore he left?She tore her gaze from the muscles in his thighs. Hey, how does he hide his fangs?The vampire started laughing. Leave.Had Gabe mentioned his name last night?  What s your name?He brought his light green eyes to hers. Lucifer.Satan, if that s your preference.Igo by both.I won t answer to the Devil, however.That name lacks power and respect,and it sounds ignorant by itself.She nodded her head and held out her hand.She d heard some great stories in hertime, but this one topped the cake. Well, the name s Mary.Nice to meet you.You canalso call me The Virgin.I ll go by either.Lucifer shook her hand. Why are you chasing Gabe around? He kissed the back ofher hand. I, on the other hand, would let you catch me. Enough. Gabe stepped up beside her and glared at his friend. You need to leave. He always was a deadbeat, Lucifer whispered to her. Tell me about it, she whispered back.She went to the cupboard and got Lucifer acup. Want some coffee?He got a strange look on his face. No one has offered me a beverage before. Okay.Well, there s always a first. She rolled her eyes. Actually, you can drop theSatan act.It s getting old. Do you think it would work to lure unsuspecting women into bed?He was by far the most interesting person she d met in quite a while.Then again, shedidn t get out much. Sure.The kind of women that go after bad boys.Lucifer took the offered cup and poured himself some coffee.Chris sat down at thekitchen table; Lucifer sat opposite her.She figured Gabe was finished with trying to kickout the vampire, because he merely filled his coffee cup and sat down next to her. Toast? No, thanks, Gabe said.Lucifer shook his head.She got up to butter the toast she had been working on before the cell rang.As shemade it she couldn t help but think about last week.Things had been so normal then.Novampires.No hunters.Now she was sipping coffee with two vampires.Both were uncommonly good-looking.The newcomer had short, brown hair and unnatural green eyes.He was leanerthan Gabe, and had an air of authority about him.Definitely a head-turner.She wonderedwhat his real name was. So, what s with the robe? she asked. I just woke up and thought I would pay you two a visit.Actually, I have someinformation for Gabe.Gabe looked about as interested as a gay man in a strip joint. It s Tom. What s Tom? she asked.Gabe didn t say anything. I wasn t going to tell you, but I like your woman.And you d figure it out soonenough. Lucifer turned and winked at her. The only reason she is being nice to you is because she doesn t believe you re reallySatan. Why are we talking about Tom? A ripple of unease sliced through her. And areyou really Satan?
