CHAPTER TEN

Under cover of shadow, Max paused. He was tucked behind an arborvitae in the corner where a small part of the house jutted out. His pulse was racing, and his body still pounded. His mind was addled, and he was a little out of breath. And more than a little confused.

But there was one thing he knew: no way in bloody hell was he going to let Savina seduce a damned vampire.

What the hell was she thinking?

Not that he didn’t believe she could do it—for Christ’s sake, she’d done just fine up there just now. He glanced up at the bedroom window, where a triangular sliver of light indicated his escape route.

I’ve never done it before.

Well, she certainly had done well enough at the dress rehearsal. His body still hummed. He frowned, his mouth painfully tight. Now she was preparing for the real thing. He couldn’t seem to take his eyes from the window.

Just then, two objects came hurtling out, landing on the ground not too far from him. Hell. He hadn’t even realized he’d left his shoes. He scooped them up, sending a mental thanks for her quick thinking. He would have been in a fix without them.

What the hell had come over him up there anyway? Max shoved on his shoes, then buttoned his shirt with clumsy fingers. He’d also lost those damned blue glasses somewhere along the line, because they were no longer in his trouser pocket.

Did it even matter anymore?

No. It didn’t.

He stepped out from behind the abrasive bush and brushed some of the dead prickles from his hair. It was time to take control of these mad, half-formed plans of hers and make some changes. He was the damned Venator. He knew what had to be done.

First, Max was going to retrieve a few useful objects from the depths of the motorcar. Then, he would search Purcell’s suite to see what he could find. It shouldn’t take long, and he knew the man would be otherwise occupied. Presumably both chambers would be empty at this time of night, but even that didn’t matter. Max could easily dispatch anyone who got in his way. He set his teeth in a grim smile. He couldn’t wait to encounter a vampire—or anyone—who tried to stop him.

After that, he was going to interrupt the picnic tete-a-tete and put an end to any seduction that might be taking place.

There was no need for Savina to put herself at such risk, even with an infant vampire.

The game was over.

After his errand in the garage, instead of going through the back stairs and making his way along the corridors to Purcell’s suite, Max climbed a tree. It felt good to put his muscles to use; too much traveling and not enough fighting since he and Savina had left Rome. One night in London with his crossbow hadn’t been nearly enough, and he was definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s arrival of Rastingard and her contingent.

His pulse spiked in anticipation. Most
