The doorbell jangled itself to silence as Ethan studied his final
customer of the night.
“Iâm afraid Iâm virtually cleaned-out. You Americans do take this
premature saturnalia seriously, donât you?”
“Not a Yank.” The handsome face transformed. “Donât need a mask either.”
Ethan edged away and came up against the counter, bare of anything he
could use as a weapon. He still had his wits and a ready tongue though.
“Do tell me; as youâre nocturnal, will I be breakfast, not supper?”
The laughter brought back the human facade. “Neither, mate. Druâd have
my guts for garters and I like ‘em where they are.”
“Ah. You know what I plan to do, then?”
A careless nod and suddenly the creature was hard up against him.
Literally. “And Iâm grateful. Bloody boring night, usually, but this
time Iâll be going home with a sackful of goodies. And a belly-full of
Slayerâs blood.”
The counter dug into Ethanâs spine as exhaled air, smoky and metallic,
cooled his face. Just fed then. Handy.
“No need for thanks. Iâm happy to be left alive,” he said politely.
“Did I ask you if you wanted them?” Temper sparked deep in the blue
eyes.
“Sorry.” Really, having to propitiating a vampire was the last bloody
straw. His feet were killing him.
“You worship Chaos, donât you?”
Ethan eyed him cautiously. “I do, rather. Is that a problem?”
A hand came to his shoulder and pushed him down.
“No. Iâm in the mood for a bit of worshipping.”
Ethan resisted the tiniest bit. “Youâre evil. Contrary to popular
belief, itâs not quite the same.”
The strong fingers bit deep and he swallowed a moan of pain.
“Want to be dessert?”
An empty threat? Not worth testing. Ethan lowered his eyes and the
vampireâs zip, and raised hell.
