He wasn’t there when she woke up, which was just as well. She didn’t regret what happened, but she didn’t want to dwell on it either. It never happened. That was what she would tell herself. Despite the throbbing between her thighs, that could not happen again. She was a human assassin, and he was a vampire prince. Nothing would ever happen between them.

And honestly, that was fine with Lizzie. She was satisfied. She was content. And she had a job to do.

"This is kind of weird," Rachel said as Lizzie slid into her best friend's beaten up sky blue Chevy. Her almond-shaped eyes glanced around at the dark sky before finally resting on the castle. "You know, when I go shopping – like serious shopping – I have to map everything out, have a list of exactly what I want, and the greatest likelihood of any particular store having any item on my list."

"Yes, yes," Lizzie said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. After everything that had happened two nights before, Lizzie had been prone to sleep fully both days. In fact, she nearly forgot that she had called Rachel in hopes that she would help her find the perfect dress for the upcoming masquerade. Thankfully, Rachel had the decency to call before she left, and by six thirty that night, Rachel had pulled up and was waiting outside the entrance of the castle, just like Lizzie had instructed her to.

"So tell me," Rachel said, her eyes glancing over to the looming castle, a familiar mischievous smile touching her dark eyes, "why am I not allowed to go into your new home?"

"My temporary new home," Lizzie corrected as she felt her body relax against the car seat. She had been in this car numerous times before and knew how much Rachel adored it. Rachel wouldn't even consider buying a new car, despite the fact that she could easily afford one. "And the reason why I don't want you in that castle is because there are more occupants in there than just Nikolai and his servants. I don't want the vampires to hear another beating heart in the vicinity and then jump and eat you."

"Obviously, you would protect me," Rachel pointed out as she started to drive away. She threw a glance over at her friend. "Right Lizzie?"

"Of course," Lizzie said, nodding her head a couple of times. "But vampires are fast. I just don't want you getting hurt at all, Rachel."

"I know, I know," Rachel said with a teasing smile, rolling her eyes. "Okay, but you're going to have to tell me how, exactly, to get to this dress shop because, honey, I have no idea where I'm going and I've never heard of the town you mentioned before in my entire life."

"Apusul Soarelui?" Lizzie asked, pushing her brow up and tilting her head so she could get a good look at her friend. "Yeah, me neither, but I stumbled across it while I was out jogging. I got my dress that I wore on the Coran mission there.
