Chapter 10

Grace sat reading the newspaper and eating a bowl of mushy-looking cereal when Ian entered the kitchen from the basement. She laid the paper aside and smiled at him. He brushed dusty spider webs off his rumpled clothes and out of his hair with one hand, while gripping an old crate of books under his arm.

“Have a nice nap?” she asked as he set the crate on the edge of the island.

“I suppose.” He sat on the stool next to her. When he kissed her lips, they tasted of coffee and sweetened grain—and of the intoxicating elixir that was solely Grace.

She pointed her spoon at the books. “Where’d you find those?”

Ian had never been so free. He didn’t have to hide from her. But did she truly understand the enormity of loving a vampire? “I found them in the storage room. Hopefully, the dampness down there didn’t destroy them. I recognized a couple of the titles from the late eighteen hundreds.”

She set her spoon down and looked at him, her brow furrowing. “Dad must have put them in there after Mom died. She wouldn’t have stored books in that dungeon.”

“You know that little room has potential. If you add a coffin, it would be perfect for Halloween. We could have your birthday party down there. You already have enough cobwebs and big, fat, furry spiders.” He smiled when she shuddered. “For someone who was born on Halloween, you really are freaked out about bugs.”

She made a face at him, but ignored his comment about bugs and spooned up another glop of cereal. “I’ll consider it for all my vampire boyfriends.”

“So, I’m not the only one?”

“I don’t kiss and tell.”

He chuckled and looked at the half-eaten bowl of cereal. “How can you eat that stuff?”

She looked down at her breakfast. “You mean my cornflakes aren’t appealing to you?”

“Frankly, no.” He picked up the box from the counter, and dubiously read the ingredients. “You know there are more words on here that I can’t pronounce than words I can. Considering, I fluently speak twenty-five languages, including two that aren’t even spoken anymore, that isn’t good.”

Grace took another bite of the soggy flakes and smirked when he made a disgusted face. “This happens to be my favorite breakfast food. You really speak that many different languages?”

“Yes. I could speak five, including Gaelic and Latin, before I met Vivian. Afterward, I quickly learned the others.”

She pushed the bowl away and turned her body toward him. “Impressive. I know Spanish and speak it fairly well. At least, thanks to my time on the Philly PD, I can Mirandize someone flawlessly.”

With a grin, he looked at The Daily Mirror lying on the counter and quickly sobered. The entire top of the front page was a picture of the investigative team at the Markel place.

She picked up a large mug of coffee and took a sip. “I’m supposed to be off today. It’s my first day off in almost two months, but I’ll come in if you think I should.
