Chapter 5

* * *

Tem and I played for a couple of hours, falling on each other in a hot, sweaty stupor. Our passion soon gave way to the reality of stolen cars, imposters and genuine menace in our lives.

"I'm nervous."

As long as I've known my husband, I have never once heard those words tumble from his sexy lips. He once took on five guys for a sex scene on a plane. He wasn't nervous then, but he was nervous about this sudden, strange activity that once again made us the targets of...who?

The ancient blood of vampires raised my hackles and I covered his body with mine.

"It's going to be okay, Tem, I promise you."

He shook his head, my lips seeking his and I quashed all his concerns with a searing kiss that threatened to turn passionate again, except I read his thoughts. We had a security expert in the house and he wanted to know we were safe.

I felt Francois would wake us if there was news to report, but we threw on robes and I took Tem's hand in mine. Padding into the living room, I felt Moontime threading his way between our legs. Francois hunched over one of the computers, clicking a pen with manic fingertips.

"Nothing," he grumped. "Not a damned thing."

"Humph," Tem said. "You want some coffee?"

"Sure." Francois yawned and stretched.

"You want to take a break?" I asked him.

"Nope. In the morning, I am moving underground. I'll rest until you go to your wine tasting."

"Do we really have to go?" Tem asked. He picked up Moontime, who rubbed his little head against Tem's chin.

"No, you don't have to go, but I thought you wanted to get to the bottom of this," Francois said.

Tem turned and walked to the kitchen.

"We had a very bad experience about a month ago," I said quietly. "We're still not settled...and somebody just put wires in our supposedly safe garden."

"Yes, and you were here the whole time." Francois rubbed his face. "I am so surprised they haven't come back."

"They know you're here."

He frowned. "I'm inclined to agree, but I don't know how. I haven't said a word to anybody. I deliberately dismissed my crew earlier today. You didn't tell anybody I was staying here tonight, did you?"

"No." I tried to think. "I haven't spoken to anyone outside of this family except for the fake Gideon and the real Gideon...you don't s'pose they planted bugs in here, do you?"

"Give me some credit," he smirked. "I checked. And no, they did not."

I looked at the computer screens. One was trained on our stables, the rest in various places around our property.

It was four o'clock in the morning, past the witching hour of three.

"We're not home free yet. They might still come. If not, I plan to be here tonight as well."

"Where did you park your car?" I asked.

"I left it at the base of Round Top, parked in a line outside somebody else's place. It was a long walk up here."

Tem bustled in with three bowls of coffee and homemade dark chocolate biscotti.
