Chapter Thirteen

“Five more minutes,” Morgan mumbled sleepily as Travis’s alarm set off an annoying clamor and rudely interrupted their sleep. Shit. He needed to get his ass out of bed and get ready for work but he’d much rather spend a little more time watching the vampire, nuzzled tightly to his side, sleep. God. Last night had been amazing.

For the first time, he was tempted to call in sick just so that he could make Morgan Rhys breakfast, watch her as she did simple things like sipping her coffee as she checked her phone for the latest news updates, and listen to her opinions on what she had read as they ate bacon and eggs. Then, once they were dressed, he would take her out, walk with her around the city he’d come to love and revel in her smiles as he showed her hidden gems not listed on any tourist maps.

The thought was a nice one. Too bad duty called. He needed to look deeper into the recent killings. He’d known vampires were behind the killing of the last victim he’d discovered, had scented vampiric blood at the scene and hoped he might be able to connect it to Rodolfo, but what he hadn’t realized until Morgan had filled him in on her mission was that the victim was one of several and all had been associated with The Order.

It also explained the old man in the alley. He hadn’t been a random human the vampire had picked to satiate his hunger. He’d been targeted, the vampire quickly learning that despite the old man’s physical frailty, the power the man possessed had been anything but. The witches would not go down quietly.

Travis had often dreamed of assuming his other form and grinding Olivier Rodolfo into dust. Unfortunately, his other form wasn’t exactly subtle or discreet, and exposing his kind to the world at large was forbidden, much less making a scene in the heart of the Garden District for locals and tourists alike.

Destin Jourdain, however, was powerful – arguably one of the most powerful witches in the country if not the world – and if Travis wasn’t able to get Rodolfo through legal means as he’d originally intended, the Born’s destruction at the hands of a leading magic wielder might be the next best thing. He just hoped he was there to see it come about.

His alarm clock began squawking again and Travis forced himself to rise, dropping a kiss on Morgan’s forehead that was currently scrunched adorably in a frown, her eyes still closed in denial of waking. “I have to go to work,” he whispered against her hair, “But you can sleep in if you want.”

Her lids lifted slowly, and a sexy smile slid over her lips as she stretched sinuously beneath the sheets, making him groan. Her voice was sleepy, a velvet purr as she said, “Good morning,” just before she reached for him and pulled him down for a kiss. Calling in sick was sounding
