Chapter Ten

Kisa would make everything clear to Daniel while he waited for her to unlock her door. "I don't need you to sleep in my room. I have a lock on my door, plenty of family up and down the hallway, and enough sense not to open the door to a stranger." Maybe the bad guy isn't a stranger. A possibility. She'd make sure to cover her nose before opening the door to anyone. "And no offense, but you sleep like the dead. How much help will you be if an attack comes after dawn?"

Daniel took the key from her hand. "At least let me check the room before you go inside. And I don't 'sleep like the dead.' My rest is close to a human's deep sleep. It wouldn't take much to wake me. I can also stay awake a little after dawn and rise a little before sunset. A few of the perks of being a very old vampire."

He went into her room while she waited in the hallway, readying more verbal ammunition for when he continued the argument. And he would. It was in his genes. The gene even had a name. It was the alpha I'm-always-right gene.

Daniel came out of her room and handed her the key. "All clear." He took a step down the hallway before turning to look back at her. He grinned. "Sweet dreams are boring, so I'll wish you wicked dreams instead." And then he left.

Well, damn. She'd been looking forward to a fight. She had all these clever, zingy, sarcastic comments lined up to verbally blow him out of the water. Who would've guessed he'd give up? Now she was depressed. He didn't care enough about her to even make it a good brawl so she could get a rush from winning. Rats.

Kisa slammed the door behind her, locked it, and then got ready for bed. Finally tucked in, she closed her eyes. She was exhausted, so she wouldn't have any trouble falling asleep.

A half hour later she was rethinking her reasoning. She couldn't stop thinking about Voskie and the faceless person who'd killed her. And once she drove them from her mind, Daniel stepped into the void.

She'd just turned over for the fiftieth time when she heard the noise. It was only a small scraping sound, but it was coming from right outside her door. She held her breath. There it was again.

A brave person would fling open the door and confront whoever was on the other side. But a smart person would call Sparkle Stardust to check it out. Blessing her cat vision, she pressed the number for the desk without turning on the light. She didn't want to scare whoever it was away before Sparkle got a good look.

"Need help, Kisa? I'm getting ready to hand the desk over to Hal, the day guy. But if this is a sensual emergency, like you need some erotic props or a few inventive sex-play ideas, I'll hurry on up." Sparkle never took her eye off the goal.
