*****************

Antony cleared his throat and gave the room a tight-lipped smile. “Sadly, I never had the opportunity to fulfill that other desire. Someone in this room stole that moment from me.” His brow furrowed with what appeared to be genuine regret. Then he smoothed out his expression and replaced it with his smile. “But you see? Like I said, not even a fight. It does not compare with any of your stories in the slightest. If the rest of our evening got a little rough, I guarantee you, all was consensual and mutually enjoyable. To a very large degree.” He chuckled. “Although I never appreciated how similar your tastes and mine run, sweet sister.”

Gabe’s features expressed a deep incredulity. “I don’t know much about your kind, but don’t you feed off the souls of the opposite sex?”

Antony’s charming smile returned. “That’s dinner, dear Gabriel. Jermaine was dessert.” The smile dimmed. “But I hope my tale rules me out as a suspect. I’ve never even been inside his apartment.”

“Then why would he tag you?” Daphne asked.

“Perhaps because even the best sex can kill you,” he replied, and the silence that greeted his conclusion caused his smile to broaden.

The human girl grimaced. “If you get your soul devoured, I guess. Or unless Gabe turns you to stone first.” She shook her head. “How did I wind up here with you people?”

“That’s a damned good question,” said Daphne. She narrowed her green eyes and crossed her arms with a huff.

Vera silenced her with a look, then said to the girl, “Perhaps you’d care to share how you did come to be here?”

The girl opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, the large, scarred man beside her snarled.

“She’s involved because of me.”

“What?” the girl replied, the deadpanned tone giving away her confusion.

“How?” Vera asked.

Everyone else’s attention shifted to the man beside her. He squirmed in his chair and dropped his gaze to his folded hands as he began to talk.
