“In the words of Ricky Ricardo, you have some ‘splanin’ to do, Lucy,” Christian said as he brushed a stray red curl from Annette’s face.

They were sitting in Christian’s apartment, TV on but not really watching it. They had been kissing for a while, mostly because Annette was trying to avoid answering questions about herself but she knew Leo had blown their cover and was trying to find a diplomatic way of telling him.

She smiled at the Lucy comment, as that wasn’t the first time she’d been called that since the popular actress had become a household name. Then her face grew serious. “Here’s the thing. I’m one-hundred and thirteen years old.”

Christian threw his head back and laughed. “Okay, joker, stop playing around.”

A serious looked passed over her features and she untangled herself from his sensuous grip. “I’m serious, Christian. I was born in Oklahoma in 1850. I went to Los Angeles in the late 1800s and got married. Tim was killed by a shapeshifter and an Immortal named Scott found me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.”

He raised his eyebrows at her. “An Immortal? You mean a vampire?”

She shook her head, her red curls bouncing freely. “No, I belong to a coven of former humans who police the Fae – vampires and shapeshifters.”

“Fae?”

“Yes, that’s what we call them. We’ve been around for decades. First Immortal was created in 1809,” she said with seriousness.

He clucked his tongue. OK, I’ll play, he thought. “That’s quite a tall tale, Annie. I mean, how do you keep from aging?”

She smiled, her brown eyes twinkling. “I knew you’d ask that. A sylph gives us a magical elixir to drink every five years. It tastes like toxic waste and burns like fire, but it does the trick.”

“A sylph?”

“Yeah, she’s kind of like a witch, or a faerie. I’d never call her a witch, though. They’re kind of temperamental.”

“They?” he asked, still amused by her story.

“There are a coven of them, they live on an island in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Now he was laughing. “Prove it.”

She turned her head at him, getting annoyed. “I knew I shouldn’t have told you. Leo is going to kill me.”

“So how old is Leo?”

“Oh, he’s close to two hundred years old.”

He leaned in to kiss her once more. “So tell me, little miss immortal, if you have this secret group that police the… Fae – what do you need the BSI for?”

Her ruby red lips twisted into a facetious grin. “Who else is going to save your asses?”

He leaned back. “Really. Well, I want in.”

She nodded. “I knew you were going to say that. I’ll talk to Leo. I’m not sure we need two BSI Immortals in this field office, though.”

“Oh, so you think you’re something special, do you?” he asked, running light fingers over her arm.

She raised her chin. “Yes, yes I do.”

He nodded. “I see. Well now that I know about your secret group, you’re not going to have to kill me, are you?”

“I think if you’re not careful, a vampire or shifter will do that for you.
