ASHLEY

Ashley wanted to squeal with delight.

Holy shit.

Had she just done what she thought she’d done? Had she really slept with Dae Blackwell?

How was this her life?

Oh no, was she spiraling? Was she acting out because of James and stupid Isla? Maybe she was. Maybe she was headed down a dangerous path and by this time next year, she’d be a homeless sex addict snorting crack in an alley.

Okay, no.

That was insane.

She was a woman who didn’t realize until just now how much she’d been starving for the simple pleasures of her body. Ashely had thought that James was a good lover, but she was learning he took more than he gave.

Sex with Dae had been mostly about her and he hadn’t even shoved his cock in her mouth like James usually did. James didn’t feel like sex was sex unless he was getting a blowjob at some point.

Draping Dae’s bed sheet over a towel bar, Ashley caught her reflection in the giant mirror above his double vanity. She’d always avoided looking at herself. She didn’t hate her body. But she didn’t love it either. She’d always had a belly that was soft. Hips that were wide, but legs that were thin. James had never admonished her or her body, but he’d never exactly complimented her either.

But now…feeling the ghost of Dae’s hands on her hips, dragging her into him like he couldn’t get enough…

God. She was tingling again. His juices were practically running down her leg and it felt so incredibly hot.

She didn’t know she could feel this way—sexy and wanted.

She thought that was just a thing they only portrayed in the movies, but wasn’t actually real.

How the hell was she supposed to return to a normal sex life after sleeping with Dae?

Maybe she needed a drink. Calm her firing nerves. There were plenty of drinks to be had downstairs. And she needed to find Lola.

She cleaned herself up quickly and dressed.

In the mirror, she gave herself a once over just to be sure she looked okay. She didn’t want to come down the stairs looking like she’d just been rolling around in bed. Hopefully she could quietly slip back into the party and pretend her and Dae had been in the garden the whole time.

Did the others attending the get together know that Dae could disappear and reappear on a whim? Like some phantom ghost?

She hoped not.

Dae was waiting for her in one of the leather chairs by the massive stone fireplace when she came out of the bathroom. “Ready?” he asked.

“Yes.” She smoothed down the front of her dress. “Are you?”

“Oh yes. Quite.” He held out his arm for her and she took it. He guided her from the room and down the cavernous hall. They passed marble busts on marble pedestals. Oil paintings that were several hundred years old, but in which several of the subjects looked coincidentally like Dae and his brothers.

“That one,” Dae said and pointed at a stern-looking painting of him and Poe, “was painted by a famous 16th century portrait artist who thought we were vampires.
