“Then turn me. In the car.”

I frowned. “On my leather?”

“In the office then.”

“Fine. I will.”

Kat reached for my door but I stopped her and pulled her to me. I raked my tongue over the fang wounds I’d left on her pale skin so the blood would stop running.

Her eyes searched mine when I pulled away. “You like me.” She chuckled. “You really like me, actually.”

“Get in the car,” I growled.

She slid into the passenger’s seat and glared at me as I got in and pulled off. “It’s a shame.”

“What?”

“I’m going to destroy your little LoveBubble empire.”

I had never been more aroused. “What do you mean?” I ran my free hand over my cashmere coat. Damn gardener ruined it. I detested shopping. Now I needed a new one, and there was no way I’d convince Dimitri to send me something woven from the silk of a thousand sorrows. I’d have to wear cashmere yet again. Like a peasant.

“Best if you don’t know the details,” Kat replied, popping a new stick of violet gum into her mouth and fiddling with a charm bracelet I hadn’t noticed before.

“I did not think auditors razed companies.”

“I didn’t think men who drive pretty cars sped with this level of recklessness.”

“Me? I’m not speeding.”

“You are driving one hundred and twenty miles an hour, Fangs.”

“Well, I’m a bit stressed.”

“Because we weren’t finished with our...activities?”

“Because I have to buy a new coat.”

Kat chuckled. “I’m not immortal, you know. I’m a mere human. I won’t walk away from a pile up like you would.”

“I wouldn’t let you perish.”

“Because you like me. Admit it.”

“I don’t believe in ‘couples’ either, Katerina.”

“How did you know my full name?”

“Easy guess.”

“Well it’s not Katerina.”

I wove the car around a sluggish hatchback and tried not to sideswipe the obvious Aunt who was late to her eyeglass appointment or some such drudgery. Definitely someone’s aunt though.

“If it’s not Kat...what is it?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know your own name?”
