Chapter Twelve

A few hours later, Lorcan parked in front of a three-story mansion on a wide street, lined with trees. The house was perched at the end of a cul-de-sac and was the only building for miles. We both got out, and I looked around, my heart already riding up my throat. I was nervous—I just didn’t know what to expect from Rupert. And much though Lorcan seemed to think he had Rupert’s character down, I still wasn’t convinced Rupert wasn’t behind the whole Dev situation.

It was late evening and the street lamps were on—they threw shadows all around that made me jumpy—like we were being followed by ghosts.

“Well, come on then,” Lorcan said as he paused at the threshold of the walkway leading up to the house and faced me. He took my hand, and I allowed him, further allowing him to weave me along the cobbled walkway that led through an immense rose garden (the buds of which were all blood red) until we arrived in front of the imposing mahogany doors.

The architecture of the building was modern with severe angles and numerous windows that looked out on the street and the forest beyond. With the arrangement of the windows, the front of the house looked like a face with two eyes and a massive smile full of teeth.

Lorcan opened one of the front doors and then walked through it without knocking. As soon as we crossed the threshold, two women rushed him from a parlor on our right.

“Lorcan!” they both said in unison. “What a wonderful surprise!”

“Janice,” Lorcan greeted the first one who was tall and gaunt with auburn hair piled into a bun atop her head. She wore a long-sleeved black turtleneck and black slacks and though her figure was decent, her face wasn’t. She looked… miserable.

“And Adrian,” he greeted the smaller woman who was blonde and looked like Jayne Mansfield with her impressive set of twins. While this woman was certainly more attractive than the first, they both wore the same expression of disillusionment. I didn’t imagine the vampires within this house were very happy. At least, they didn’t look it.

The women threw their arms around Lorcan’s neck, one at a time, taking turns kissing him all over his face as I just stood there like the unpopular kid at a high-school dance. Neither woman even noticed me it seemed or, if they did, they didn’t try to hide how shamelessly they pressed their bodies against him. They might have even played it up on my account.

And, yes, I was jealous. The feeling started as a slight irritation in the center of my gut and then grew into more of a territorial feeling I did everything to control.

A few more women and men sauntered toward us from the same room.

“Lorcan, old man, haven’t seen you in ages!” One of the men stuck out his hand to shake Lorcan’s.

“Where have you been hiding? Not still slumming it in Haven Hollow, are you?”

Lorcan greeted everyone in turn. Then he waved to me and took a step nearer me, putting his hand low on my back.
