When Nicole opened her eyes, Keenan was gone. She blinked, rose quickly, and pulled the sheet with her. “Keenan?”

“We don’t have much time.”

His voice came from the darkness on the left. Night had fallen, once more cloaking the house in its shadows. Nicole turned her head and found him unerringly. Sometimes vampire vision could be a good thing. “Wh-what do you mean?”

“You’re going to die.”

Not what a woman wanted to hear moments after rising. She licked her lips. “The sex was good,” she told him quietly. Way better than good. More, please. “But we’ve really got to work on your pillow talk.”

He pounced. No other word for it. He caught her arms and pulled her against him. “I’m not making a joke here. You’re going to die. I saw it.”

Goose bumps rose on her arms.

“Death angels always see the end coming for their charges. We know exactly what it will look like.”

“I-I didn’t think you had those powers anymore.”

She saw the sad twist of his lips. “Not sure it is my power.”

That didn’t sound good. She stared at his face, that perfect, sculpted face, and saw the rage lurking in the tightness near his mouth and the darkness of his gaze. “I don’t understand.” And she didn’t. There was still so much about this Other world that she didn’t know.

“Az is jerking me around. He sent the image because he wants me to know what’s coming.”

My death. She had to swallow to ease the lump in her throat. “Maybe there’s no escaping what will come.” She’d tried. Twice. But if death was just going to keep coming after her ...

“You got out of that alley.” His fingers tightened on her.

Yes. Part of her had gotten out.

“Nothing is written in stone. Humans have choices, and now, so do angels. Az can take his fucking rules and screw off.”

Not very angel-like. But then, angels weren’t exactly cute little cherubs carrying harps.

They were big, dangerous men who could burn an enemy to dust with a thought.

“Get dressed.” His hands dropped. “We’re going back to the Quarter.”

“Why?” She’d already told him—

“Because if we’re fighting Az, we’ll need help.” He turned to leave.

She grabbed his hand. “This fight isn’t yours.” Did he think he needed to do some kind of penance because of what happened before?

“It is,” Keenan gritted out. He looked over his shoulder. His gaze seemed to burn her. “Because you are.”

Her breath froze in her lungs. “We aren’t—” Okay, they’d had sex. Great sex. But ...

But she was a vampire and he kept thinking she was just a woman. If he knew the things she’d done, he’d be the one sending her to the afterlife.

And what’s to say he won’t? When he finds out that you’re not sweet Nicole any more, maybe he’ll change his mind. He’ll be the one to give you that Death Touch and then he’ll go back to the life he had.

While she—what? Got the death she deserved?

“You were my charge. Mine. Your life was mine to take or to spare.
