It took three drinks to convince the man who tasted of herbs — earthy and raw — to leave the table and join her outside behind the bar. She didn’t want the others at the table to witness their conversation. This way, she could convince him he’d enjoyed one of the best nights of his life and let him return to his friends ready to brag. She, on the other hand, hoped to walk away with more knowledge of the prison than anyone not employed there should know.

“You’re so beautiful,” he panted, his lips trailing down her neck. She relaxed in the sensation of his desire, her core warming to dangerous levels. She wished she could take what she needed from him, plus a little extra, but her reason for luring him outside was too important to be distracted by a bit of meaningless lust.

Grabbing his forearms, she shoved him against the wall, pressing the length of her body against his. His moan sent another current running through her, and she brushed her lips over his, inhaling the fresh tang of his energy.

Desire was a good start, but she needed to be sure she had more control over him before she started her questions. With another kiss, she passed more pheromones into the young man’s system and watched as they took over his mind. In a few more moments, his inhibitions would be washed away, leaving him nothing more than a sexually charged husk.

A few months ago, she wouldn’t have doubted her ability to get the information she needed, but at the Garden, her eyes had been opened to her own limitations. For the first time in her life, she’d failed to gain enough power over her prey, and she would not make that mistake again.

Trailing her fingertips down this man’s neck, she traced the collar of his T-shirt. With each pass, she released more of her allure under his skin, the tingle of it passing back into her.

His exploring hands fell still and dangled at his sides. His mouth parted, and his pupils were so dilated his eyes appeared black. She wondered how much of that was his passion and how much was the demon blood she sensed lurking under the surface.

“What do you do for a living, Samuel?” she asked, relieved that she’d remembered his name. It wasn’t a habit in her usual encounters.

“I’m a security guard,” he replied. His words were faintly slurred, falling from his lips as though he were only partially aware he was saying them.

“That must be fascinating work. Have you…held the position long?”

She pressed her palm against his stomach, drawing up the edge of his shirt to caress his skin. He sucked in a sharp breath. “A few years, but not always here. I was at a factory in New Haven before.”

“That’s quite the distance. What encouraged the change?”

“Money,” he said. “And a promise of something greater once this place becomes known. It’s going to change the world.”

“With you involved, I have no doubt,” she purred.
