Chapter 6

I don’t even get the chance to process the fact that I’ll be on a date with a bunch of drunk and horny men before the door is thrown open.

“I’m here!” a very, very intoxicated Ethan slurs, stumbling over his own two feet. “Prepared to be dazzled.” The normally shy vampire has a beer bottle dangling from his fingers as he staggers forward. “Because I’m a sexy vamp. And I don’t sparkle.”

Quinn hurries into the room, eyes slightly glazed, and grabs Ethan’s arm before he can topple over.

“Easy there,” the incubus cautions as he helps straighten Ethan’s rumpled clothes.

Ignoring him completely, Ethan’s eyes train on me, and a dazzling smile splits open his face, two fangs poking his bottom lip. “Ridley!” Nudging Quinn in the ribs, he whispers (loudly enough for the entire world to hear), “She’s so pretty. So, so pretty. Are you still-still going to help me? Are you going to make me a-a-a sex god.”

Quinn pats Ethan’s back sympathetically. “Yes, my young prodigy.”

Well…

This is a friendship plucked straight from hell. The two of them together—Quinn’s sexiness combined with Ethan’s adorkableness—might actually kill me.

The door slams open a second time, and Ethan screeches, holding his beer bottle out as if it’s a deadly sword. Aaron, the arsonist hellhound, takes one long look at the vampire before dismissing him. He strides towards me with a confident swagger as if he believes he has the world at his fingertips.

“Ridley.” He bites his lower lip as he surveys me from head to toe.

“Aaron.” I cross my arms over my chest and narrow my eyes. “Are you planning on lighting this building on fire?”

“With my sheer good looks?” he questions amusedly, inching a step closer. He tenderly brushes a strand of curly hair behind my ear. “Or with a match?”

I’m afraid I momentarily lose my capability of speech. Instead, I merely open and close my mouth like a fish that has been wrenched out of the ocean.

“You’re pretty cocky,” I point out, slightly breathless. This close, the smell of charcoal and fire sharpens, tinging the air and urging me to burn with him.

“Why can’t I be?” he asks lazily. “I’m on a date with a beautiful girl.”

“And nine other guys.” As if on cue, the door opens again, the tiny bells overhead jingling, and the rest of the men file in. Grant's eyes latch onto me instantly, unerringly, almost as if he’ll know where I am no matter the location. We could be in a room with thousands of people, and he’ll still be able to find me.

Criss and Jamie, the wendigo and ghost couple, are whispering back and forth to each other. Jamie appears as standoffish as always, but I notice bright splotches on Criss’s cheeks from the alcohol. When he sees me looking, he waves shyly before ducking his head into Jamie’s shoulder.

“I see you’re wearing your charm bracelet.” Keller’s rich baritone voice wisps around me like a thick smoke, filling every crevice of my body and leaving me trembling.
