“Hang on one minute, now,” I said, coming to a stop. “I am not going back to your apartment with you, if that’s what you’re thinking. I told you that I’m with someone, and he’s waiting for me, so if you don’t mind, I’m going to return to the square. Thank you for the tour—it was edifying in a number of ways.”

He grabbed my hand to keep me from leaving. “What’s your rush? Your friend will wait. My apartment is very special. I think you will enjoy it…and me.”

I gawked at him, unable to believe I was hearing what I was hearing, but the lascivious look on his face left me in no doubt as to the meaning behind his double entendre. “I have no intention of enjoying you.” Portia?

Coming!

“Why not?” Gabriel winked at me. “You could do a lot worse than a cherub, you know. We’re known for our sexual skills.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that you’re in charge of porn sites on the Internet,” I said, snatching my hand back and turning on my heel to walk back the way we’d come.I’m on my way.

Overhead, thunder rumbled.

“You are making a mistake, Portia Harding,” Gabriel called after me as I stormed into the stone tunnel. I stopped and looked back at him. He was leaning against a signpost, a knowing smile on his face. I wanted to slap it off.

“How do you know who I am? I didn’t tell you my name.”

He laughed, pushing himself off the post to saunter over to me in a blatantly carnal manner. The air grew thick with static electricity.

“Word gets around. The latest rumor is about a mortal who had the cheek to get rid of a virtue in order to pardon her boyfriend. I have to admit, I like strong women, women who are not afraid to give in to temptation. I particularly like how they struggle before submitting.” He brushed a strand of hair off my face, his fingers stroking my cheek, leaping backward with a startled look on his face when two thin snakes of lightning struck the ground immediately in front of me.

“You dare!” he snarled, his face turning red as he backed up another couple of steps.

“I’m sorry. I don’t seem to have much control over my little storm cloud, but it should be clear to you now that I don’t intend to take you up on your…er…offer.” I mentally dismissed my cloud, and was relieved when it dissipated to nothing, the air losing its charged feeling.

“Bitch! You will find that we are not as easy to fool as your lover. The Court takes a dim view of murderers and cheats, Portia Harding.”

There was no reply I could make to that which didn’t involved some pretty rude language, not to mention more in the thunder-and-lightning area, so I simply turned around and walked away as fast as I could. I got lost twice despite the signposts and Theo’s mental threats to hunt me down, but finally arrived back at the square to confront the furiously scowling vampire of my dreams.
