Chapter 13

Sunlight poured through my windows, and the birds sang. I loved spring, the return of the light. I rolled onto my back and stretched my legs. It was 5 a.m.

I needed coffee. The black elixir may not fix my messed-up love life, solve my case, or salve my pre-date jitters, but it would settle my caffeine-addicted nerves.

“Yada, yada, freaking crazy yada.” Spark rolled over beside me and yawned.

When did she crawl into my bed? She has her own bed on the floor in the corner. My bed was off-limits. Hmm. That would explain the hair I found on the sheets last laundry day.

“Don’t you get tired of listening to yourself?” Spark asked.

“I leave that to you,” I said and hit her with my pillow.

“Blondie, you gotta stop belly-aching. It’s b…oring! Live a little.”

I grumbled. She had a point.

“How many women have a Viking in love with them? I’ll tell you–—none!”

I got up and threw on a robe. “Okay, oh wise lynx. Tell me what you think about Gus.”

“Yum,” she said in her throaty voice. “I say jump him and have at it. It will clear your head.”

I laughed all the way down the stairs, with the image of doing just that playing in my head. The problem was that at thirty-two I didn’t want to just play anymore. I had lived too much for that. When the playing was done, there were always repercussions for someone.

“Haven’t you heard of condoms?” Spark followed at my heels.

Sometimes having her in my head was really annoying.

“I heard that.”

Of course she did. She heard everything in my mind. “Seriously,” I said. “Do you think Eric will stand by and watch me get involved with a human male?”

“Supernatural sparks will fly, but that will make it all the more fun. Breaking taboos is soooo sexy.” She meowed. “It’s time you took a man to your bed, Blondie. You’re a full-blooded woman and a hot witch. You have needs.”

The pre-set pot of coffee filled the lower floor with the very best of smells. I inhaled deeply. “If I were to have a fling …”

“Now you’re talking.”

“‘If,’ I said.”

“Go on.”

“It would need to be out of town, away from probing eyes.” I wasn’t sure such a place existed. Eric could wander different dimensions in a human or ghost form, so I was pretty sure he could find a nearby town.

“As long as I’m there, I’m happy,” said Spark.

“I don’t want an audience.”

“You sure about that? Take it from an expert. Having someone watch can make it more fun.”

“Good grief.” I poured myself my first cup of bliss. No one would be up for a couple hours. I had time to myself, time to think.

“Imagine,” said Spark, nudging my calf, “having Eric and Gus in bed with you.”

“Whoa. That’s way too much … manliness.”

“Meow.” Her meow was not subtle.

“And what about Dante?” I said.

“Save him for dessert.”

I gagged on my coffee. Now there was a smorgasbord to think about. “You’re a naughty influence.”

A man’s voice jarred me back to reality.
