It turns out that Lucifer’s Ladies really are a bunch of psychos. They seduced the bartender over a week ago and got him to promise he’d slip something into Nico’s drink the next time he came by. It was just my luck that the next time was tonight. With me.

Also, that I was the only one to consume the drugged drink.

Except maybe it wasn’t drugged, because I feel fine.

Sitting back in the booth, I watched as Nico shakes the bartender like a ragdoll. The bartender wets himself, which isn’t pretty. But neither is drugging someone, so I didn’t pity the dude. Eventually, Nico tires of his weeping and tosses him out into the alley with a warning that he should never let Nico see his face again. My money is on the guy getting on the first bus out of town. Nico then proceeds to rage at the restaurant staff as they in turn plead for his forgiveness. Nico isn’t appeased until they promise him free food for life and that he can go behind the bar and make his own drinks whenever he wants.

Finally Nico turns back to me. Bracing both hands against the tabletop, he leans in close, his one eye darting between both of mine. I realized he’s trying to see if my pupils are dilated.

“I’m fine,” I tell him.

“You think so?” he says, and then holds out a hand. I place mine into his, expecting him to help me up onto my feet. Instead, nerve endings I didn’t even know I possessed light up all over my body. I gasp as all that feeling suddenly shifts, centering on what Mom used to refer to as my lady business. For example, “Paige, that skirt is so short I can almost see your lady business.” Now my lady business is working overtime like a girl determined to break the glass ceiling once and for all. My internal muscles clench so hard that if there was a penis inside me right now, I’m pretty sure I’d pulp it.

Digging my nails into Nico’s hand, I cry out and come. Right there, in the booth, in the middle of the Mexican restaurant.

Luckily, Nico’s earlier outburst scared away the other patrons so no one is nearby to use the old, “I’ll have what she’s having” line.

Jerking away from Nico, I slide further back into the booth. “What the fuck?” I demand.

He takes his hand back. “It’s a magical drug. Something made with incubus essence.”

“Oh God, you mean sperm, don’t you?” I moan. “I just drank sperm-flavored margarita.”

Nico doesn’t say anything, so I know I’m right.

“Look, I’ve used this drug before and it wears off pretty quickly,” Nico says.

“How quickly?” I demand.

“A few hours.”

I hold back a sob. “And what am I supposed to do until then?”

“You’ll be fine as long as you don’t touch anyone or anything living. It’s touch that sets it off.”

I swallow, as some of the panic recedes. “So I can just go home and sleep until it goes away?”

“Exactly.
