I woke the next morning alone in bed. Sighing, I spread a palm over the rumpled sheets beside me. Cold. She'd left with enough time to beat the sun. Poor girl. I couldn't imagine never being able to go out in the sun.

Vinny had once had the sun, for over two decades. It had to be tough for her now.

God, I wanted her back. Snuggled against my side. Her fingers tickling in the hair at my groin. Her mouth slipping over mine. And her teeth...

I smoothed a palm along my neck.

Are you wondering if she went through with it? Did Vinny bite me?

The hotel door slammed inward. I sat up, expecting to see Vinny, but not at all shocked when it wasn't her.

A broad-shouldered figure dressed all in black, including black head wrap and goggles, pointed some kind of modern handheld crossbow at me.

"Get your pants on, asshole," he barked.

Had to be a vampire. No doubt the very same who had shot out my window the other night. Stellan.

I reached for my pants and shuffled them on. "Not sure what you want, Darth, but I'm not going anywhere with you dressed like that."

"You will come with me."

"Uh, not feeling it, actually. I've a flight out of the country that takes off this afternoon. I've got packing--"

An arrow skimmed my hair and pierced the wall behind me. I controlled my wince. Never let them see you sweat.

"Violence isn't going to make me want to share the ride with you, buddy."

"You want to see Vinny alive?"

Hell.

It made awful, terrible sense. Send the girl out to seduce the mark. She gets cold feet and falls for mark. The leader uses those emotions to bait his trap. And I had bitten the hook and could feel my cheek tearing right now.

I could refuse. They'd kill Vinny. Maybe.

Right now, the vampire had exactly what he wanted--me and the halo. They didn't need to kill Vinny.

But I didn't know what mental capacity this Antonio worked with. And I really didn't want to know Vinny would spend the rest of her immortal life attached to any man who ordered her about.

I put my hands up. "Fine. Let me put on a shirt and shoes, and then we'll take a walk."

I tugged a black sweater from my duffel and shuffled into my shoes.

"The halo." The vamp gestured to my duffel bag.

I grabbed the halo and walked out the door. The sharp point of the arrow jabbed into my spine. This was going to be an interesting walk.
