“What an idiot!” Marla, still invisible, watched Silvan and his human plaything through the window as they climbed over the fence onto the neighboring lot. She sullenly stalked through the house, looking for something alcoholic to drink. Silvan was so hard to convince, and it was driving her crazy. He had to go with her willingly and open his mind to the High Council; only then would certain areas in his brain become accessible. Otherwise, the high lords would not be able to completely call out his demonic side. Silvan had to trust them in order to allow himself to be guided by them.

“That’s what I’m here for,” she muttered, frustrated.

The high lords didn’t dare to call Silvan down themselves; he might become frightened and shut himself off from them forever — at least, that’s what they claimed. “What nonsense!” Marla wasn’t stupid; she sensed that the others were hiding something from her, something about Silvan. She was just their stooge, never privy to their secrets, and this enraged her. If she didn’t deliver results soon, Xandros would become very unpleasant. Not to mention Metistakles. But she wouldn’t be following Silvan around tonight, trying to convince him to come with her, not if there was the danger of catching him kissing again.

Yuck! He was so … human! So full of emotions! The way he had held that girl in his arms … Marla shuddered.

In the kitchen, she turned herself visible. That required less energy, and as long as the other guests kept their noses pressed against the windows, she wouldn’t have to deal with anyone.

She looked for a beer in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, there was none to be found, so she slammed the door with a loud sigh.

“Bored by the party?” A voice came from behind her. It sounded somewhat more adult than the rest of the boys at the party, but Marla didn’t turn around. She had no desire to engage in conversation — least of all with a human.

She hated the humans!

“Hmmm,” she growled, hoping that the man would go away again, but he didn’t.

“I’m only here because my cousin begged me on bended knee to come.” He walked over to her; Marla pretended to be interested in the different kinds of potato chips available.

He was so close to her that Marla could feel the heat of his body, could smell him!

Hell, the guy smelled kind of good! Very masculine.

Her curiosity finally getting the better of her, Marla turned her head. She looked straight into the most glorious pair of blue eyes that she had ever seen. They were framed by long, golden eyelashes, and there were light golden flecks in the irises. Marla could scarcely tear herself away from them.

Her gaze wandered lower to his perfectly curving lips. And those dimples! Why did he have to be smiling?

Marla’s heart fluttered. Damn these humans. There were a few pretty specimens among them, even though it was said that only demons could look so attractive — the better to manipulate the souls of men.
