Blaine leapt up, Nigel came charging down the stairs, and Jarvis bolted in through the back door. All of them were armed. Blaine shook his head, and the other two stopped where they were. They began searching the crowd.

“Where is she?” Trinity was beside him. “What does she look like?”

“Blond hair, tall, stacked.” His veins were burning. His skin was prickling. The black magic he was sensing had that feminine slant he associated with Angelica, and he could smell the lemongrass that always filled the room when she was present.

The air was dark, heavy with the sweat of patrons. Men. Women. Sex. Stale beer. Lights dim. Floor was sticky. The lemon was cloying to his skin, and he knew he was going to smell like a girl when he left.

But as long as he had Angelica’s heart in his hands, he was down with that.

A blond head moved into the shadows, but Nigel was already there. Grabbed the girl, then shook his head at Blaine.

False alarm.

Where the hell was she? Angelica didn’t hide. She put herself out there. If she was in stealth mode, it meant she was there to make sure it was done right. What was she after? Not him. She thought he had him by the balls.

“I smell lemon,” Trinity said.

Trinity. She was there for Trinity.

Blaine caught her arm and hauled her against him. “Stay close.” Of course Angelica would want Trinity. She was the Chosen, and she was ripe for harvesting. “She might be after you.”

“Me?” Trinity stiffened. “Why?”

“Because you carry the curse.”

“Oh…” Trinity looked around. “Well, I’d really like to have a little chat with her about my curse. I have a few bones to pick with her.”

“Don’t we all.” Blaine began to move through the crowd, trying to get a sense of where the perfume was strongest. But it was all over. Like it was moving around, faster than he could see—

A thick patch assaulted him, and he instinctively grabbed the tall blonde on his right—

She turned, and he realized his eyes had been playing tricks on him. It wasn’t a woman at all. It was a tall man, dark hair, wearing a suit with a diamond in his ear. The man was all class and dignity, didn’t fit the joint. Blaine’s hand burned from touching him. “Who are you?”

“We need to talk,” the man said. “Outside. Now.”

“Yeah, we do.” Blaine jerked his head toward his friends, and they all fell in behind as he followed the man toward the back door. He could see the black aura emanating from him. Tainted like the devil himself. But he smelled like lemon. Like Angelica. This man had some connection to her, and Blaine was going to find out what it was.

He set his hand on Trinity’s shoulder, moving her behind him, as he shoved open the back door and stepped out into the alley.

The man turned and faced them. His stance was arrogant, and his gaze flicked over all three of the warriors, as if they were nothing more than peons.
