NINETEEN

Tobias stood at the door, staring at his upturned palm.

Stalling.

I put down the book I’d been reading, a droll history of the Ottoman system of government. “You seem to be treading water there, chief. You sure you’re comfortable with this?”

A wispy grimace proceeded his words. “What choice do I have? Unless you want to tie a saddle to me and ride me through the streets.”

I snapped my fingers. “Damn, I didn’t pack my saddle, and I never learned to ride bareback...”

“Based on your tepid love life, seems you haven’t learned to ride barefront either.”

Switching the subject ASAP was the only way to keep from blanching. “Scared you can’t trust the Pera Pack?”

He barely bobbed his head. “Ayşe’s sticking to orders; she still hasn’t uttered a single word to me when I’ve approached her in the Bazaar. Luckily, she still listens. I told her I needed shelter for the full moon, and that I’d wait down the street for an answer. A half hour later, another wolf came to tell me I could pass the night with them, as a lupine courtesy.”

“The last thing the alpha of a pack trying to avoid attention wants is some foreign wolf to run about on full moon causing trouble with hueys,” I concurred. “If I had my hood, I’d build a silver cage for you in your bedroom upstairs.”

“So your suggestion for an alternative to passing the moon with a local pack would be to imprison me. You still want to claim you’re not into BDSM?”

“Try chaining me up sometime and see.”

His eyes jolted away as a spark of crimson warmed his neck. Was Tobias’s jabs about rough play a cover for his own proclivities? How interesting.

“I still can’t believe Caleb convinced Inga to go with Igor to Spain for the weekend.” The werewolf shoved his overseer-approved phone into his back pocket. “I guess you were right about his charm, huh? Even convinced the daughter of Dracula herself to give into him. How did he manage to do that?”

“By promising we wouldn’t step a foot out of the house after dark until they got back. I think he even pinky-promised.”

“So you, Amy, and Caleb are planning a quiet night at home?”

“Oh, hell no. Amy would open a pop-up Kamasutra studio. Caleb and I are going out to dinner, then he said something about going to see Hagia Sophia.”

“He lied to Inga?”

“He prefers to think of it as a technicality. We aren’t stepping a foot out. We’re using both feet.”

Tobias laughed. “Remind me never to get into a negotiation with a slayer. Slippery eel, that boyfriend of yours. Hagia Sophia... That’s that big church-turned-mosque thing, right? Is it even open at night?”

“I think we’re just going to walk by it. He said there’s a beauty to it you can only see at night.”

He grinned and tapped me on the shoulder. “So he thinks taking you to a huge church is going to finally get you in bed? Told you telling him you were ‘waiting for marriage’ would make him think you’re a religious nut.
