Chapter Eight

Tugging the dress up, I tried to hide the boobage that bulged over the top of the sweetheart neckline. Amera had ordered that I wear something incredible for the evening, although I had no idea why, I wasn’t hanging around. Not that she knew that, of course.

Not long after I’d returned to my room, a vampire had dropped off one of her dresses. She was slimmer than me, which meant my curves popped out of the dress most indecently.

“What am I doing?” I whispered as I checked myself in the mirror.

I had managed to connect to Tinniel again. The phone had connected, and he’d managed to trace my signal to just outside Greenwich. The Thames opened up just after the O2 building, so it was much quieter. At least the Federation knew my location.

We’d agreed that they would rescue me tonight, during the party. I wanted to check out Amera’s friends, at the same time as Tinniel wanted me to gain as much information on them as possible. Was it the human trafficking ring, all coming together to celebrate?

A knock sounded on the door, making me jump. Tucking my hair behind my ear, I gave up trying to cover my cleavage and tugged open the door.

“You look stunning,” Amera said, licking her painted red lips. “Shall we?”

My gaze traced her ice blue floor-length ball gown. The top plunged to her waist, where it puffed out and floated to the ground. She walked away, expecting me to follow, which I did, still tugging my top up.

Her hair hung loosely down her back, waving gently until it brushed her waist. Ugh, why did she have to be so crazy beautiful? I’d never be able to wear a puffy dress and look half as sexy. Not that it mattered, I would be gone as soon as possible, leaving her gorgeous highness behind.

“Oh,” she said, turning back to me. “Just in case you decide to leave when I’m distracted.”

Gripping my wrist tightly, she nodded over my shoulder. A man’s arm appeared, snapping a bracelet on me before I even blinked. Shit, vampires really were supersonic speedy. I frowned as he removed his arm, revealing a pretty glistening diamond and silver bracelet.

“How…?” I might have been a little slow on the uptake, but I knew that her words did not match the innocent looking piece of jewellery on my wrist.

A devilish grin lifted her cheeks. “There’s a miniscule bomb hidden in the thirty crystals that line the silver. It’s programmed to explode once it’s off the boat. If you try to leave without my permission, it will detonate, killing you and anyone else who might try and help you to escape. So, be careful, bounty hunter.”

Spinning on her high heel, she marched into the living area, her air of arrogance hanging with her perfume in her wake.

“What do you see in her?” I asked the vampire who watched her enter the living area.

When he barked a laugh, I jumped, my heartbeat erratic for two reasons.
