CHAPTER NINE
His name was Jack Swells, a name that sounded to Delaney like something that would come straight out of an action film. Or, and this was a much more accurate mental comparison to make, a supernatural film. Like a vampire story. And he was, he was most definitely a vampire, which made his appeal all the greater. He was what she had always imagined a vampire would be like, for as long as her brain had been consumed with such imaginings.
Everything about him was suave, too, so suave that she felt light headed. Part of it was the way he looked, of course, which was almost more than she could take, but that wasn’t everything. It was also the way he spoke, the way he moved. It was the way he would lightly place his hand on her shoulder while they spoke, something that made her body feel shot through with liquid lightning.
She kept expecting him to tell her that it was nice to meet her and he hoped she enjoyed the rest of her evening but he really needed to be going. He didn’t do it, though, didn’t even act like he was thinking about it. He stayed with her, right beside her, with all his attention focused in on her like she was the most interesting thing in the world.
After two or three more drinks, all of which tasted and felt as strong as the first one, Jack turned to her with a question written all over his face.
“Uh oh, what is it? Is this the part where you ask me how I snuck in here in the first place? Because there’s no use. I’ll never tell.”
“Oh yeah?” Jack chuckled, the lit a cigarette and took a drag that drew all her attention to his disarmingly beautiful mouth. “That good at secret telling, are we?”
“I don’t know. I like to think so.”
“Interesting. So then let me ask you a question.”
“Okay…”
“Why did you come here?”
“I don’t know. Why does anyone come here?”
“For lots of reasons. All kinds of reasons, reasons neither of us would guess. I don’t care what anyone’s reasons are. I care what your reasons are. What did you come here for?”
“Just to see what it’s like. I saw the sign for the place and wanted to know what it was like.”
“And do you know what this place is?”
“It’s a bar, right? Why, is it not? Because if it’s not, it’s doing an awfully good impression of it.”
“It is. You’re right about that. So why don’t I ask you a more direct question? Would that be all right?”
“I think so.”
“Do you know what I am?”
“You’re Jack. Jack Swells, right?”
“I didn’t ask you if you know who I am. I asked you if you know what I am. The difference may be subtle, but it’s there.”
Delaney’s heart was jack hammering in her throat, beating so brutally that it might just rocket right out of her and land in the middle of the floor. She wanted to ask
