Chapter 25
I’d expected Megan to be angry at discovering that the incubus had attacked me again, but I hadn’t anticipated the intensity of that anger. After she calmed down enough to consider how it got through the barrier, she realized that she’d put the barrier up against physical intruders, not demons or spirits. The fact that we hadn’t seen a spirit since we left my old house made us forget all about them.
“Now that I think about it, we haven’t even seen your aunt Lily since we moved in here,” she said to me as she accepted the glass of brandy that Evan offered her. “That surprises me.”
“I’ve been so busy settling in and setting up that I hadn’t noticed, but you’re right,” I said as I sipped on the iced raspberry herbal tea that my fiancé had fetched for me. I looked at the engagement ring on my finger and wondered how she’d react to my hastiness in accepti

I’d spent the two and one half hour flight with my head rested on Evan’s shoulder and my eyes closed. Part of the reason was because I was exhausted from the trauma of the day, but it was also because I had a foreboding feeling that I wasn’t ready to talk about. He was very astute when it came to my moods and I was afraid that he would pick up on it.He gently shook me alert so that I could enjoy the city lights as they boasted the excitement that awaited us once the plane landed. Since I’d never flown into a city of such magnitude in the dark before, I thought the lights a sight to behold. I kissed him on the cheek and thanked him for waking me while the flight attendant announced that we were about to land and everyone should be secured in their seats.The energy of the city consumed me as soon as we stepped out onto the sidewalk and hailed a cab. I found it a completely different feel to that of Las Vegas.

Evan had purchased a dozen boxes of condoms in anticipation of our wedding night and we put them to good use. In fact, we didn’t leave our room for several days. There was something very sacred and special about consummating a marriage commitment that we just couldn’t get enough of. We were in agreement that, somehow, the sex felt different. Better.By the time Megan called to tell us that the coast was clear and we could come home, we’d been behind closed doors for three days; opening them only to receive the meals that Evan had convinced his friend to supply us with, rather than make us join the others in the dining room.Although we would have liked to continue with a nice long honeymoon, I was eager to get started on my research for vampirism. Fortunately, Evan understood.We purchased tickets for a flight back home the following morning. It was a very early flight, so Evan went to the front desk an

Megan was waiting for me at the airport when the private plane landed. She’d brought Evan’s van to transport him in. I found that to be a touching thought. He’d like that rather than to be loaded into a hearse.Since he wasn’t human, we couldn’t offer him the traditional burial service, but I didn’t think he’d want that anyway. We took his body to Megan’s land and buried him beneath the ancient oak tree that he was prone to sit under when we were staying with her and he wanted to think. He said it gave him a peaceful feeling. As for attendees. It was me, Megan, and my aunt Lily.I’d asked his proprietor friend to take care of notifying whatever vampire committee needed to be notified of his death and he’d agreed. I had to trust that was enough. I didn’t know how to contact his army people and, quite frankly, after what Roman had done, I had no desire to rea

I leaned my head against the window as I stared out into the darkness. The moisture laden clouds hung low over the mountaintops. The heavy rain that poured down from the dark masses blanketing the sky made the night so black that even our headlights did little to illuminate our way more than a few yards ahead of us. It was a fitting night that perfectly matched our mood and the occasion. A dry, bright, and starry night would have been insensitive to the emotions that permeated the car’s interior as Max and I made our way home from an eight-week honeymoon that had been reduced to four weeks by the news that his house had mysteriously burned to the ground. Upon my insistence that we marry right away, Max scrambled to make arrangements for law and order to be carried on by his office with the same attention given to the area when he was around and then booked us two tickets for Las Vegas. Within a week, we were happy newlyweds. I k

Megan was on the front porch when we pulled into the drive. She braved the pelting rain to rush to the car and give us both a heartfelt hug; both as a welcome home and for sympathy over our loss. When she tried to help with our luggage, Max not only refused her help, but he insisted that she and I both go into the house and he’d follow with the luggage. Sensing that he needed some time alone, I didn’t argue.“You should have come through the house to greet us,” I said as I pulled on the hem of Megan’s rain-soaked shirt. “You should have known Max would pull right into the garage. Now, you’re soaking wet.”She stopped before stepping into the breezeway that connected the garage to the house and rung the hem of her shirt out as best as she could.“I wasn’t thinking,” she said with a shrug. “To tell you the truth, the rain felt marvelous. I’d go b

The following week was relatively uneventful as Max and I settled back into life at the former funeral home that I’d rented. To my relief, both Angela and Evan were away on a mission, so it was only Megan, Max, and me in the house.To my disappointment, Max was so devastated and preoccupied with his loss that I felt disconnected from him. It didn’t help that he hadn’t made love to me once since our return. For a man who’d wanted sex with me on a daily bases more times than I could count since we’d gotten together, this was a shock.When he wasn’t working, Max spent a good deal of time in private conversation with Megan, but I didn’t ask the topic. Knowing the history between them, I guessed that he was processing the loss of her sister, Melissa, on a permanent basis. Having her ashes in his possession for all of those years had to make him feel like he still had a part of her with him; becaus

The sound of blood mixed with adrenaline that rushed through my body almost drowned out the heartfelt greeting that he gave me as he dropped his luggage onto the floor near the door and rushed in to hug me.His lips brushed the flesh of my ear as he told me, in a soft tone, how good I looked. “Marriage must agree with you.”I felt a sense of relief and joy in seeing him that I hadn’t expected. I cared for Evan; deeply. I had to admit that to myself and come to terms with it. Had Max not been in the picture, I was certain that there would be something between us that was more than the friendship that we’d developed or the cat and mouse game that we’d played since Peter left and I’d started dating Max.Perhaps it was because of what I’d been through with Max just an hour earlier, or perhaps it was my discussion with Megan about the incubus, but I found myself wrapping my arms around Evan’s nec

Max dropped me off at the house with the promise to be home in time to take me out for dinner. I practically skipped into the house and rushed up to my bedroom to freshen up after my impromptu lover’s tryst.As I walked past the porcelain jar containing Mellissa’s ashes when I came out of the bathroom to select a fresh pair of panties, I couldn’t help feeling resentful. “Why won’t you go away?”“Where would you like me to go, baby?” echoed a man’s voice that came from nowhere.Not only was I freaked out because the voice was a disembodied voice, but it was a familiar one. I recognized it as the voice that had chuckled so wickedly after doing those things to my body while I slept that afternoon, not so long ago.Too freaked out to take the time to put my panties on and grateful that I’d changed into a sundress so that I was covered, I clutched my panties in my trembling fist and
