The air felt light under the glow of the full moon. It was a perfect night for flying. She selected her favorite white dress with the dainty straps and it now clung to her skin as the wind passed by. The scent of the bath flowers on her skin left a perfumed trail in the air behind her.

Her pink heels landed softly on the edge of the Hoover Dam. It was one of her favorite places to think, but she hadn’t been out this way in months. She sat down, dangling her feet over the sloping concrete. Candace fought the urge to slide down the side, remembering how she’d torn her favorite pants the last time. She closed her eyes, searching her memory for the construction sounds and voices of the men who’d helped build the wonder of modern engineering.

The workers helped usher in the showgirl era of Las Vegas. The population increased fivefold in a short amount of time and all those men needed to be entertained. Those were glorious days. They were strong and adventurous having left their old worlds behind. Donors weren’t voluntary then. Coming out as vampire was much too risky during the era, but Prohibition made feeding easy with most men overindulging when given access to any product. They wouldn’t remember a thing and bites were easy to hide under injuries earned on the job.

Alejandro was her first supernatural lover. They met at the Northern Club on Fremont Street which offered both illegal alcohol and gambling. Candace was there to find nourishment while Alejandro had his sights on Mayme Stocker, the owner and first female to ever receive a Nevada gaming license. He never fulfilled his wish to become a kept man.

Instead he saw Candace easily escorting an intoxicated man twice her size and followed her to the alley where she was beginning to feed. Alejandro stood guard until she finished, winning her over in the process. She didn’t have to hide or lie. There was no interrogation over a few random bloodstains here and there. It was as easy and sexy as loving a warlock-demon could be. They shared nearly seventy years together and then he vanished.

Candace stared down at her feet, letting the wind lift her legs with each gust. What an odd position to be in. Waiting on a human and not just because he’s dinner. It’s a whole new world. She stood up and performed a swan dive without hesitation. Her stomach flipped as she picked up speed on the descent before whooshing up at the last minute. She pressed her lips together tightly to avoid trapping any bugs in her teeth.

The boats anchored in Lake Mead grew larger as she lowered herself. His heartbeat called out, bringing her in for a safe landing on the stern deck of a large, white boat. Shane was standing at the bow sipping a glass of wine and watching the moonlight dance on the water. Candace started to walk forward and was about to call his name when the sound of her heels caused him to flip around.
