Outside, the air had gone chill, and a thick fog had rolled in over the Bosphorus. Julian waited under a carved stone archway for Altun to come out of the women's changing rooms and bathhouse entrance. He was more relaxed than he had been in days, and it wasn't only because of the blowjob.

It had been an uncomfortable couple of days, waiting to hear from Altun and being denied. Silas had teased him about being a pining teenager before Kon had taken mercy on him and told him where Altun would likely make an appearance.

All the emotions swirling inside of him were all so new, and despite feeling completely out of control, Julian was having more fun than he'd had in years.

The doors opened, and the scent of spice and blue lotus hit Julian's senses before Altun emerged, dressed in a robe embroidered with peacocks that looked stolen off a Byzantine princess. Maybe it had been; you never knew for sure with Altun.

Julian held out his arm to her, and she wrapped hers around it. He didn't know why the small gesture made him feel so warm inside. If he examined the feeling, it might go away, so he let it be.

"Did you walk or drive?" Altun asked.

"Walked. Istanbul parking is non-existent, and I like the challenge of not falling down some unexpected stairs leading into basements along the tiny footpaths," Julian replied. He’d had more than one heart-stopping moment from finding the random openings in the footpaths.

"The danger keeps you focused on where you are going," Altun said with a wicked grin. She took out an engraved case from her pocket and placed one of her clove cigars to her lips.

Julian opened his mouth to ask if she wanted a light when a black van roared around the corner into the narrow street. He saw the window open and the flash of a gun barrel before bullets rained down on them. He dragged Altun down behind a stone pillar, hot fire burning through his shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing?" Altun demanded. Blood was pouring down his shirt and over his chest. She swore, pressed her hand over the wound and muttered a harsh word. Julian groaned as magic seared him.

"That will stop the bleeding for the moment. Stay down, Julian. I'll deal with this," she hissed, shoving him to the ground. Julian was too dazed to argue with her.

The black van had turned and was coming back towards them, ready to open fire again. Altun strode out into the street and streaks of light burned under her skin. She was the terrifying sorceress of Istanbul, and she was pissed.

Words full of anger and intent roared out of her, and she slammed a fist down into her palm three times. An invisible shock wave rolled out of her and hit the van, smashing it three times, buckling the front, the middle, and the back like it was as flimsy as a soda can. The van stopped a few meters from her, but Altun wasn't done.
