Chapter Seventeen

Kerstyn held onto Dimitri’s arm, as they crossed the dance floor of Dark. Vampires took respectful, and frightened steps back, parting for them as they headed towards the section of the club set aside for celebrities and very important people. Multi-colored balloons floated and bumped against the ceiling; vibrant streamers were laced about the railings that separated the VIP section from the dance floor.

At a booth in the back corner, gifts were stacked high on the table with a five-tiered, decorative cake resting directly in the center.

For a wedding anniversary party, it all seemed very normal.

Well, as normal as it could be with all the bowing, staring, and incessant whispering. And the fact that this was a vampire anniversary party.

Kerstyn broke her hold on Dimitri to place their gift with the others. Taking in the number of presents, Kerstyn glanced about the room. Empty. Well, empty if she didn’t count Gannon standing guard by the elevator. She waved to him. He gave her a slight nod in response.

“Where is everyone?”

“We are early.”

She scuffed. They were obviously not the only ones here for the party. She shrugged. The other guests must be dancing or at the bar.

“Most of these gifts were delivered,” Dimitri said. “Everyone knew that Dorian and Victoria were coming here and would be staying at Gabriel’s hotel.”

“Are we the only guests?”

“Yes. Gabriel will be joining us shortly, but no others were invited.”

“Well, I hope they like me.”

Dimitri gave her a reassuring smile and wrapped an arm about her shoulders. “They will love you and I have a feeling you and Victoria will ‘hit it off’.”

“A girlfriend who is a vampire? I’m game. I already have a witch. Now, all I will need is a shape-shifter.”

“Victoria is not exactly a vampire, though she resembles one, and you will not find any shape-shifters in Las Vegas.” Before she could ask him what he meant about “not exactly a vampire” and where she could find a shape-shifter, Dimitri turned away, his eyes focusing on the entrance. Kerstyn followed his gaze where a tall, dark haired man stood at the top of the steps. His piercing eyes roamed over the crowd below before locking with Dimitri’s.

A woman joined the new mystery man and, wrapping an arm about her waist, they began making their way down the stairs and across the dance floor. Heads turned and the whispers grew louder.

What a disgustingly gorgeous couple, Kerstyn thought as the newcomers stepped up into the VIP section.

The woman was stunning with dark, tousled locks and emerald eyes. She was dressed in a form-flattering, red silk dress while the man was elegant in an Armani suit. His sea-colored eyes sparkled in the darkness of the club and Kerstyn knew immediately the tall, muscled man was a vampire.

“Sire,” the vampire greeted them with a bow, “allow me to introduce my wife, Victoria.”

“It’s a pleasure and honor to make your acquaintance, Sire,” she said, making a low curtsy.

Dimitri leaned forward and pulled Victoria up by her shoulders.

“Please, that is not necessary and it is I who am honored.
