Chapter 9

The doorbell, tinny and obnoxiously loud, had Quinn literally falling out of her bed, stumbling over Carl, who’d fallen fast asleep after they’d read together.

Buffy and Spike stirred only briefly from their spot on the pillows before yawning and settling back in, curling together in a warm ball of contentment.

Grabbing her bathrobe, Quinn made a break for the door in the hopes whoever it was, holding their finger to the damn doorbell as if they were demanding entry to Heaven, wouldn’t wake Nina.

Because she did not want to be the one who ruffled those bat wings.

But it was already too late. Nina held the door wide open, the freezing rush of air whooshing around Quinn’s ankles.

The vampire folded her arms over her red thermal shirt with black bats on it, crossing her long legs covered in matching thermal underwear, and cocked her head in Quinn’s direction. “Ding-dong, parental unit calling,” she growled.

Oh no. No, no, no.

“Quinn?” Her mother rushed in, pushing her way past Nina to stop directly in front of Khristos, whose big body was sprawled awkwardly on her couch, sound asleep. His beautiful face took her breath away, relaxed and serene as though his liver wasn’t in dire danger of being pecked out.

His muscled arm was flung over his forehead in abandon, and his chest, covered in a T-shirt, lifted in a slow, mesmerizing rhythm of rippled goodness.

Her mother stabbed a finger at Khristos without saying a word, her disapproval ringing in the still apartment air as surely as if she’d expressed it verbally.

Nina strolled up behind her mother’s left shoulder, the floppy bunny ears on her slippers bobbing up and down. “Cat got your tongue?”

Her mother’s eyes went wide at Nina’s presence. “What is this?”

“Hot dude.”

“Explain!” Helen Morris demanded.

Nina scratched her head, “Um, hot dude I’d consider hittin’ if I didn’t have my own hot dude at home?”

“Why?” she spat, adjusting her yellow and blue fanny pack around her waist.

The vampire frowned. “Why is hot dude on the couch?”

When Helen didn’t answer quickly enough for Nina, she said, “Look, lady, are we free associating or playing charades or somethin’? Because it’s damn early for me, and I don’t have a pen and paper. There’s a hot dude on your kid’s couch. He’s a nice hot dude, by the way. If you’re lookin’ for anything more in-depth than that from me, you’ll have to come back in about five hours when I’ve fed…er, myself and showered.”

Her mother’s lips thinned when she crooked her neck and looked up at Nina, her sharp green eyes assessing the vampire. “And who are you?”

Nina grinned. “Me? Not the hot dude, that’s for sure.”

“Nina!” Quinn hissed in reproach, tightening the belt on her robe. “Mom, why are you here? Why didn’t you just use your key?”

Her mother planted her hands on her hips and narrowed her gaze. “Well, the row of shoes outside your door was an indication you might have guests. I didn’t want to just barge in.”

“Since when?”

Her mother’s eyes flashed all kinds of warnings.
