CHAPTER FOUR

“Navy Pier is a neutral zone. Sort of the vampire version of Switzerland,” Simon told Pru the next morning as he escorted her toward the Holiday Ice Sculpture Festival taking place on the Chicago tourist spot. “It actually juts out into the lake and the lake is also a neutral zone.”

“Fascinating, I’m sure,” Pru said. She wasn’t feeling real cheerful today. Memories of his kiss had kept her awake half the night.

“Time is running out,” Simon reminded her.

Thinking about running made her glance down at her footwear. She was wearing her magic kick-ass boots today. Contrary to popular fashion, they were not four-inch-high stilettos. Hers were more along the line of blinged-out red leather cowboy boots. Looks were nice, but the main thing was that she could run in them. Run really fast. And kick really hard.

Because when one was dealing with vampires and demons, the ability to move quickly was important. Yes, she could do a disappearing spell, but there were occasions when there was no time to speak one word. And she could hardly go airborne when she was surrounded by humans in the middle of the day. Witches were supposed to stay under the radar.

Had she stayed back in Boston, she would have been working at the Spirit Wellness Center today, seeing patients and working on ways to help them heal.

Instead here she was in Chicago with the vampire Demon Hunter who had seduced her and deserted her. The vampire Demon Hunter she’d cursed. The vampire Demon Hunter she was now helping in his quest to find Excalibur before someone else did.

They’d driven into the city, using a car for a change. Pru had tried to press Simon for more answers. He’d evaded answering just as he’d evaded the crazy drivers skimming through on red lights. He had told her about the forty-eight-hour deadline and reminded her that a powerful and indestructible weapon like Excalibur could not fall into the wrong hands. As in demon hands. Or even in Gold Coast vampire hands.

Then he’d gone on to grumble over the fact that they’d had to borrow Zoe’s red Mini instead of Damon’s top-of-the-line black Porsche. Apparently Damon didn’t let anyone borrow his car, not even his sire. She couldn’t blame him. Simon drove like he did everything else, fast. He’d slowed down when he had sex with her. Then he’d taken all night, working her body for hours of bliss.

She’d already had a restless night dreaming of Simon. She didn’t need to be thinking about having sex with him when she was awake.

The ice festival opened today at noon and they’d arrived right on time. The cheerful sound of “Jingle Bells” sung by a children’s chorus filled the frigid air.

Looking around at the crowd gathered for the Holiday Ice Sculpture Festival, Pru didn’t detect any supernaturals, unless you counted the mom of five who was able to keep all her kids well behaved. If that wasn’t magical, Pru didn’t know what was.

Then she saw them. Lawrence,
