CASEY

I’m not sure what I expected from Priscilla by way of greeting, but a girlish squeal and big hug sure as shit wasn’t it.

“Oh, you’re just darling,” she coos into my hair, clinging to my shoulders like a drunk debutante after too many glasses of champagne. “And you smell absolutely delicious.”

She shifts her face into closer communion with my neck, inhaling deeply in a way that sends a shiver of foreboding through my bones. I’m pretty sure not even an ancient vampire would dare feed on a human without permission in public—they’d do it in private, so they’d have plausible deniability if the human filed a claim with the high council—but still…

I’m not enjoying having a strange vampire’s mouth this close to my throat.

I don’t enjoy having anyone’s mouth this close to my throat, with the exception of Amy and Edmond.

As if summoned by my thoughts, Edmond growls from barely a foot away, “Get away from her. Now!”

He sounds pissed, but Priscilla only giggles and snuggles closer to my throat.

“Oh, Edmond, don’t be selfish.” She sighs, her cool breath on my skin making me shiver again. “You’ll have eternity with this beautiful creature. You can afford to share a moment or two of her company.” She pulls back, her bright blue eyes beaming innocently up into mine. “Isn’t that right, lovely girl?”

So that’s her game.

She’s trying to see if I know the truth.

Instinctively, I decide it’s best to play dumb. “Of course.” I force a smile as I glance over to make sure Amy is still engrossed at the fishing booth with Annie and Aurora, then turn back to add, “Though I don’t know if we’ll have eternity. I’m not sure where I stand on becoming a vampire.”

Priscilla swishes a tiny, lace-gloved hand through the air. “Oh pish, you’ll love it. There’s nothing better on this Goddess forsaken planet. But of course, you still have time to make up your mind.” She bares her slightly crooked teeth in a coquettish smile. “You’re so young. Just a sweet, succulent little baby, really.”

Her words make my skin crawl and something deep in my brain screams that I should run before I’m skewered and roasted over an open fire, but I laugh along with her.

“How old is your pet, Edmond?” Priscilla turns to him, a brittle note creeping into her voice. “Twenty-two? Twenty-three?”

“I’m thirty-one,” I say, trying to remember that she’s a gazillion years old and it’s not completely weird that she’s talking about me like I’m a fetus.

She arches her brows and murmurs, “Oh, well, people do age so well these days,” her gaze is still fixed on Edmond. “In my day, if you made it to thirty-one with all your teeth, it was considered a huge victory.”

“You certainly have teeth,” Edmond mutters darkly, though he seems calmer now that he’s seen I’m not bleeding.

Priscilla’s musical laugh tinkles through the air. “I’m lucky I was turned at only sixteen.” She shifts her gaze my way, fluttering her baby blues. “Talk about a baby.
