Night took over from Nick, adding information on the location that he had a personal
knowledge of. He didn t offer how he d come across this information, and no one asked.
He also alerted the team to the fact that most, if not all, of the men would be vampires.
When they started discussing their plan of attack, both men looked at me and told me
I was staying here, out of harm s way.
I adamantly refused.
Night relented first, knowing how stubborn the Coventry s were. In the end, Night
set me up for the role of  distraction while he and his men would execute the remainder
of the plan. At least I was going to have an active part, if just a small one.
Night sent one of his men to retrieve the items I d need for my cover, then everyone
trooped out to the vehicles to see what arms Night had brought to the party. Ice was
admiring a rocket launcher when I glanced in his direction. His lips curved in a wicked
smile as he stroked the barrel of the weapon. I shivered.
 Are you carrying? I jumped when Night spoke from behind my shoulder.
 Didn t have time to grab my gun when I left home, I said.
He placed a Vektor CP1 in my hand.  Don t lose it. Then he turned his attention
back to disbursing the rest of the equipment to the other men.
His man returned with a bundle under his arm. Night took one look at him, grabbed
the package, then motioned for me to follow him into the building.
He took me to the room we had used earlier, setting the bundle on the bed. Opening
the bags, he removed articles of clothing, a handbag, and shoes.  Put these on. He tipped
his head at the articles, then sat next to them and waited for me to comply.
Laid out for me were a very short skirt, a tiny skintight shirt, thigh-highs, and spike-
heeled shoes. A push-up bra, but no underpants. I changed into the clothes, thinking
about the diversion I was supposed to create at the house, and feeling appropriately
attired to achieve that goal.
His man had also supplied some makeup, in colors that complemented my skin tone.
I also noted a curling iron, a brush, and hairspray.
 Did you specify what makeup he was to get? I had to wonder.
Night just grinned at me. He followed me into the bathroom and watched avidly
while I did my face and hair.
 Haven t you ever watched a woman do this before? I asked.
 No, actually. He moved to stand behind me, and placed the palms of his hands
over my hip bones.  It s kind of sexy. He continued to watch as I finished.
I walked back into the other room to gather my things together, and placed the
Vektor in the handbag. When I turned around, Night s eyes were glazed.
 Guess I ll do. I sashayed towards the door.
 Christ, Night breathed, then followed me out of the room.
I opened the outer door and sauntered out onto the parking apron. Every last man
stopped what he was doing to watch me as I approached. I surreptitiously glanced at a
few midsections, and couldn t help the grin that spread across my face at the sight of so
many attentive males.
Night snapped them out of their captivation.  Remember, we take McIntyre out of
there no matter what. He glared at his men.
My heart suddenly dropped to my feet when I realized what he was really saying.
They were to save Rand. Even if he was dead.
The men loaded up, dividing their numbers between four vans. Soon, Night, Nick,
and Ice were all that were left standing around me on the apron.
 I ve wired a charge in the left front tire. Ice began as he held up a remote.  When
you re close enough to the main gate at the house, I ll activate the charge, causing your
tire to blow out. You know what to do from there. He leered down my shirt, his tongue
snaking across his lips.
I shuddered and moved closer to Nick. Nick slipped a hand up the back of my skirt,
and squeezed my buttock. I swatted his arm.  Hey.
He just grinned at me, sending blood rushing through my body.
Ice grunted, and I saw that my nipples had hardened.  Let s get this show on the
road. I twisted away from Nick, intent on getting in the car.
All three of them groaned when I bent to get into the driver s seat.
With an innocent smile plastered on my face, I rolled my window down.  Something
wrong?
They shuffled around, cleared their throats, then climbed into the car.

Rand could hear several men enter the room behind him. The sounds of cans being
opened and chairs scraping against the concrete followed.
A different man from before moved to the side of the bed.  I m going to taste you,
and if you re good, I ll even make sure you enjoy it. His captor laughed harshly.
The bed dipped as the man settled onto it. His head was roughly shoved to the side as
the weight of the vampire settled over his back. He felt the warmth of the man s breath on
his neck, then the wetness of his tongue as he swirled it over his flesh. The vampire
nicked him with a fang while he ground his erection against his back.
Rand went insane. Bucking and writhing under the man, praying to throw him off.
Anything to keep him from what he was about to do.  I like it when they fight, it happens
so rarely. The husky voice only added to Rand s fury. He bucked harder, twisting while
he did so.
The vampire clung to him, snaking an arm around his throat, then tightening his hold
before he struck. Pain lanced through Rand s shoulder, stilling his movements. Then the
creature sucked, drawing his blood in long sensual pulls that caused an unwanted arousal
to build in Rand s groin.

I pulled behind a closed gas station about a mile from the house. As the men exited
the vehicle, Night asked me to stay put for fifteen minutes before continuing on with the
plan. He bent through the driver s window, intending, I think, a quick kiss, that turned
decidedly heated before he backed away.
With a wink he turned, and the three of them disappeared into the darkness.
I fidgeted while I waited for the fifteen minutes to elapse. Checked my makeup in
the little mirror over the visor, freshened my lipstick, then fidgeted some more.
Finally it was time, and I put the car in gear, remembering to turn on the headlights
as I pulled out onto the street. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
