Chapter 14

Etie snatched the blanket off the end of the bed, tossing it to me. A snarl slithered out of his mouth as he jumped to the floor. “Get the hell out!” The walls vibrated with the force of power behind his voice.

The baron only clapped louder. “Now, now, pouvior bokor, I didn’t see anything.” He winked, and a bottle of rum appeared in his hand. “Don’t get your panties in a twist.”

Oh my gawd. I wanted to hide under the bed and die of embarrassment. Could this jerk just pop up whenever he wanted? Had he ever watched me in the shower?

“I’ll banish you from this entire club if you don’t get your sorry ass out right now.” The snake began to rattle on Etie’s back, ready to bring more power.

The voodoo king tsked. “As if you could. Besides, my kind of party was happening downstairs. I couldn’t help myself. I had to come see what all the fuss was about.”

Oh great. I’d helped entice Baron Samedi to Le Revenant.

His dark eyes landed on me trembling beneath the blanket. “Eve-angel-ine, looks like you were having fun tonight.” He blew me a kiss.

A deep growl rippled out of Etie. The koulèvkay shimmered to life, crawling over his back as a solid snake. He settled around Etie’s neck, his luminescent eyes boring into Baron Samedi. “Don’t test me right now.”

The voodoo loa gave Etie a smile. “I like you so much better than your father.” A cigar appeared in his fingers, and he took a pull, blowing the smoke toward me.

“Great. Now get out.” Etie’s fists curled by his sides, and his back muscles flexed. The rattle of the koulèvkay’s tail intensified.

Was it weird to think my boyfriend looked damn fine even with the snake wrapped around him?

Baron Samedi’s eyes settled on me again. “I guess I did interrupt your fun.”

“What do you want with me?” I blurted, holding the blanket up to my neck.

His smile broadened, and those deep obsidian eyes flashed crimson. But no answer came.

Etie’s hand swept over the head of the koulèvkay, petting him. “Do you want to close the gate to the spirit world? Is that your endgame?”

My brows dipped. Was that even possible? What would happen to all the people who died afterwards? Where would they go?

Baron Samedi’s head tilted back as laughter pealed out. “Close the gates? Why would I want to do a thing like that?” He wiped tears from his eyes. “I like it here and there.” A pair of sunglasses appeared on his face, one of the lenses missing. “Above and below. Life and death.” He opened his arms wide. “I like anywhere there’s a party.” He took a swig of rum and disappeared in a puff of cigar smoke. Ominous laughter echoed in his wake.

“Ugh!” I punched the mattress. “Why does he have to be so cryptic?”

Etie’s gaze ran over me as he crawled on the bed, deep worry lines forming over his forehead. “Are you okay, cher?”

My eyes widened as he drew closer.
