In his bedroom, Austin observed the ladies’ celebration on his laptop. With his roommate Nicholas gone, his spying had become much easier.

Garrett stood behind him, watching the scene. “So, that’s the game they’re playing. They’re trying to figure out which of us is human, so they can get rid of us.”

“It sure explains why the anklet is so important.” Austin tugged at his pants leg to look at his new anklet. Maggie had brought it to him right after sunset with a warning that he had to put it on immediately.

“Yeah.” Garrett rested a hand on the back of Austin’s chair as he leaned forward. “What’s that they’re drinking?”

“Something with synthetic blood in it.” Austin watched Darcy lift the glass to her mouth. She took a sip, then licked her lips. Lips he had kissed. A mouth he had explored. Shit.

He jumped to his feet so fast, the chair tipped backwards and Garrett caught it. He strode toward the window and looked out. He couldn’t see much of anything in the dark, only his reflection in the glass. Darcy wouldn’t even make a reflection.

Holy crap. Did everything have to remind him that he was alive and she was dead? Or worse, she was undead. Dead during the day, but walking and talking and crying real tears during the night. She was alive just enough to torture him.

And tempt him. She was still so damned beautiful. Still so smart. Still so Darcy.

“Something wrong?” Garrett asked.

“Everything’s wrong.” Austin paced across the room. “This is a waste of time. We’re not learning anything useful.”

“I know the names of a bunch of vampires. That’s more than I knew a few days ago.”

“We were supposed to get friendly with them and learn about Shanna. It isn’t happening.” Although Austin had to admit he had certainly been friendly with one of them. Unfortunately, he’d forgotten all about Shanna when Darcy was in his arms.

“Well, it’s hard to be friendly with a pack of murderous creatures,” Garrett muttered.

“Oh, come on. Those women are harmless. They just want to wear pretty clothes and have someone take care of them. Sheesh, they get bent out of shape if your manners aren’t impeccable.”

Garrett snorted. “You’re getting soft. Do you think the men are harmless, too?”

“I talked to a few of them tonight. Roberto owns an aluminum shutter company in Argentina. Otto runs a health club in Germany.” Though Austin couldn’t quite see a correlation between being healthy and undead.

Garrett frowned. “They probably commit crimes all the time. I bet they use mind control to steal money from people.”

“Then why would they want the prize money so bad?”

“I don’t know,” Garrett mumbled. “But if they ran out of synthetic blood, they’d bite you in a minute.”

Maybe so. Austin shook his head. But wouldn’t he do the same if it was the only way to survive? “The point is they do drink synthetic blood. So, their intent is not to harm humans. Meanwhile, the really vicious vampires are trolling Central Park for victims as we speak.
