Chapter 15

Abby awoke naked and disoriented.

Not always a bad thing. Especially when she was still warm and tingly from Dante’s touch. But she discovered that she didn’t care for being naked, disoriented, and alone.

Crawling from beneath the covers, she discovered that someone had kindly left a pair of jeans and a T-shirt on top of the dresser. There was also a new white lace thong and matching bra.

She grimaced. She had never been much of a thong woman.

Probably because she hadn’t been a size two since grade school.

Beggars, however, could not be choosers. After slipping on the tiny underwear, she pulled the T-shirt over her head before padding into the outer room.

A wave of relief rushed through her as she discovered Dante standing beside the wall refrigerator, looking extraordinarily fine in a pair of leather pants and black silk shirt he had yet to button. His silken hair was still loose about his alabaster face, and the candlelight shimmered in his silver eyes.

Fine, indeed.

So fine that Abby barely noted the empty cup of blood he set aside at her approach.

A smile twitched at his lips as he allowed his gaze to take a slow, appreciative survey of her scarcely covered body.

“Nice, lover. Very nice.”

Abby rolled her eyes, although inwardly she did a bit of preening. And why not? No one but Dante had ever made her feel as if she were thong-worthy.

“What time is it?”

“Almost nine.”

Abby blinked in surprise. “Why didn’t you wake me?”

“You needed your rest.” Dante reached into the refrigerator to pull out a plastic cup. “Here.”

Abby regarded the offering with a wrinkled nose.

“I don’t suppose it’s that hot fudge sundae you’ve been promising?”

His smile widened. “The next best thing.”

She thought of the green guck with a shudder. “Liar.”

He moved forward to press the cup into her reluctant fingers, his lips brushing the top of her curls.

“I’ll make you a deal. You finish that and I’ll buy you as many hot fudge sundaes as you can eat.”

Abby briefly sucked in the male scent of his cologne before stepping back to regard him with a suspicious glare.

“Okay, what’s going on? Zombies? Wizards? The end of the world?”

A raven brow arched. “What are you talking about?”

“You’re never this easy to get along with.”

He gave a startled chuckle. “Me? Lover, I’m not the difficult one.” Dipping his finger into the neckline of the T-shirt, he gave it a tug to inspect the barely-there bra. “Of course, there are moments when you are less difficult than others. Like when you-”

She swatted his hand away. “Dante, I’m not going to be distracted.”

He gave his fangs a meaningful lick. “Actually, I think I’m already distracted.”

Damn. Her nipples hardened. Determinedly she kept herself from melting into a puddle.

“You’re up to something. What is it?”

“Nothing.”

“Try again.”

He hesitated and Abby felt her stomach muscles tighten. She wasn’t going to like this.

“I have an errand I must run,” he at last confessed.

“What sort of errand?”

“I’m returning to Selena’s house to see if there are any clues to where the witches might have gone.
