Chapter Six

“She’s here in New Orleans, sir,” the man said nervously as he watched his boss’s reaction to the news.

“She’s what? Has she made contact with the witches?” Piven wasn’t fooled by the calm demeanor of the white-haired man behind the large desk. He gulped. “Yes. They met her at the airport. But she’s not with them.

They’re at The Château.”

“They? She’s got those damned bloodsuckers with her?”

“Y-yes, sir.”

“Have they bonded?”

“It appears so.” Piven surreptitiously rubbed his sweaty palms on the thighs of his pants. “We sent some men into the hotel, it’s been warded so tight none of them were even able to get on the elevator.”

A meaty fist pounded on the desktop and Piven jumped. “Incompetents! I thought you were a high talent wizard, Piven. Why such bumbling? You allow her to escape the first attempt, even having her find out about our anger toward the witches, and now this?”

“I’m sorry, sir. She’s protected by the vampires and a bodyguard at all times. She has some kind of protection around her. It’s difficult to even see where she is, impossible to scry. I’ve never seen anything like it. We’ve got men on the hotel right now and men on the witches too. We’ll try once she leaves.”

“I don’t want you to try, Piven. I want you to succeed. Now get out before I cast you into hell itself for failing me yet again.”

Holly woke slowly and stretched. It took her a moment but she remembered that they were in New Orleans and that she had to set up a time to meet with the Charvezes—she still didn’t think of them as her family although she had to admit that she felt some kind of connection to them, especially when Isolde Charvez hugged her.

More than that, the memory of the night before, of the way she’d come to totally accept Rhett and Nate, flooded through her, leaving her smiling. It gave her strength to face the rest of the stuff in her life she needed to fix.

Gently, she moved the arms banded across her body and slid from the bed. She stood watching them both for a moment. They did not stir, nor did they look dead.

Rhett’s rakish ebony hair was tousled about his face, long lashes lying against his cheeks. One of his hands was open, fingers just touching one of Nate’s dreads.

He was so good to her. Patient and loving as well as suave and handsome. He took his time with her even when it was clear how much he’d wanted her to just accept their connection. He accepted her fears and did everything he could to help her past them.

Often just before dawn, he’d brush her hair until it gleamed. The way he touched her made her feel cherished and loved. But when they were naked together, touching and loving, he was creative and tireless and it seemed as if he couldn’t get enough of her.

She smiled and touched the spot where he’d fed some hours before.
