Chapter Four

“Shouldn’t you be speaking to your beloved, rather than glowering at her?” Oro grumpily asked the vampire beside him. The store teemed with the usual assortment of late-night shoppers including werewolves, demons, and other paranormals preferring the dark.

“No. I believe I will continue to glower.” Russ grinned, his good humor irritatingly not at all daunted by Oro’s bad mood. “I’m told that’s what vampires do.” Redheaded and freckled, his friend didn’t meet any of Vanna’s undead expectations. “Shouldn’t you be cuddling with other males’ mates? I believe that wolf bitch over there is unavailable.”

“You said you were okay with it.” Oro gritted his teeth. He’d deprived himself of Hailey’s hot body for four long days, and suffered through Vanna’s cool human touch, and it had been for nothing. He’d had to beg Hailey to continue working as his assistant, tripling her and her friend’s already outrageous salaries, and she still hadn’t allowed him to fuck her in dragon form.

“Oh, I’m more than okay with it.” Russ laughed. “I only wish I’d been there to see your girl’s reaction. I bet she brought you to your knees.”

She had brought him to his knees. Oro’s lips twitched, his bad mood lessening. Fuck. Hailey tasted like heaven. “Glowering requires being silent,” he reminded Russ. His friend was the chattiest vampire he’d met. Oro suspected Russ’s victims asked to be bitten to keep him from talking.

“You’re right.” Russ nodded at Vanna. “She tells me that too.” Oro counted to five. “Not that I don’t like your cheerful company, but shouldn’t you be mixing with your customers?” his friend asked, breaking the fragile quiet.

“I should.” But he wouldn’t. Oro returned an approaching pint-sized fairy’s smile with a frown, and she hurried in the other direction. He was in no mood to be social, his mate spending the evening with some mysterious friends.

When he had asked who those friends were, Hailey had told him it was none of his damn business. Oro growled, curling his hands into fists. It was his damn business. If one of those friends were male…

“Careful, friend.” Russ bumped his shoulder. “You’re smoking.”

Hell. So he was. Smoke swirled around his head. He needed to mate with her in dragon form, permanently bonding with her, before he went insane.

Because he would go insane if he lost her. There might be other female dragons, Oro having heard last night of a female landing on Staten Island, but there wasn’t another Hailey.

“Mr. Oro.” Vanna laid down the phone and hurried to his side, pointedly ignoring the smiling Russ. “Croix asks that we remain open for an additional hour tonight.” A tremor of excitement ran through her normally flat voice, and her flat chest heaved. “He wishes to shop in privacy.”

If he spent an additional hour at the store, Hailey would want to spend an additional hour with her so-called friends. “No.”

“But… but… but…”

Oro narrowed his eyes at the woman’s spluttering. Vanna knew better than to question him. Only Hailey had that right. Damn it.

“He’s Croix, the rock star.
