I’ve never been a fan of the Black Dungeon, mostly because you have to have the Mark of Immortality to get inside, one of the few marks I don’t have. Being a ghost, though, I easily breeze through the steel walls and straight into the heart of the club.

Most of the people lingering around the bar and flashy dance floor are vampires. A few fey are scattered here and there, along with a couple of witches. Not all of them can see me, but a few species possess the ability to see the dead—like fey. Thankfully, not too many of them are around, and I’m able to stay under the radar pretty well.

“Now, where is Sway?” I mutter, glancing at the balcony, the table area, and then the bar where a large crowd is forming. I quickly spot Sway’s friend in the madness, her dazed eyes wide as she scurries back from the crowd. She looks around, blinking several times, before bolting for the exit.

Jackpot.

I make my way through the mob, noting the hungry gleam in each of their eyes. When I reach the front, I realize why, and my heart nearly bottoms into my stomach.

Sway is passed out in a large, male vampire’s arms, and his fangs are deep in her neck. I nearly lose my shit. The situation is worse than I anticipated.

Almost every vampire has gathered around to watch the feast happen, waiting to take their turn.

At first, I question how I’m going to get past them all without getting killed. Then I remember I’m dead, so technically, they can’t do anything to me.

Well, would you look at that? A silver lining.

Well, that is, if the blocking spell has worn off.

I make my way to Sway, testing the reaction of the wall. When my body doesn’t slam into an invisible force, I yank her out of the vamp’s arms. Holy shit, I can touch her. And it’s better than I ever imagined. I want to touch her some more… Let my hands wander…

A vampire lets out a snarl, tearing me from my lust filled thoughts. I quickly scoop up Sway in my arms and hold onto her tightly. Since some of the vampires can’t see the dead, most of their jaws smack against the floor. I don’t blame their shocked reaction. Sway looks like she’s levitating away from them.

I carry her out of the main section of the club, down the hallway, and to the exit, startling the shit out of Doug the bouncer. Thankfully he has the door open, and I hurry toward it.

“What the fuck?” He blinks at Sway floating and jumps out of the way.

I step outside into the alleyway, glance from left to right, then hightail it across the street to a rundown hotel to the back entrance. Huge problem though. The door is shut, and I don’t have a damn clue how to open it.

“Shit,” I curse, growing incredibly frustrated with this damn no-touching thing. But then I look down at Sway in my arms.
