“Yes.”

Relief surged through her. “Thank God.”

“No god would be so cruel,” he drawled.

She ignored Victor‟s callous indifference toward her friend. Vampires considered any demon not a vampire as a lesser demon. Even werewolves.

“First we must release the captives,” she decided.

Victor scowled. “Juliet, you do realize this might very well be a trap?”

“Do you sense—”

“I do not need to sense danger to know it is there.”

“I am doing this with or without you, Victor.”

The silver eyes flashed with mocking amusement. “Ah, when you have need of me I am Victor, eh, little one?”

She clenched her teeth, belatedly realizing she had indeed allowed his name to slip. It was a luxury she never indulged in. Not when she needed the formality to remind herself that Victor was a forbidden temptation. Just as she pretended she did not notice the manner in which his silk shirt clung to the chiseled muscles of his chest, or how precisely his pantaloons outlined the hard lines of his legs…

“I have several other names if you prefer,” she muttered.

With an impatient sound, Victor captured her face in his hands and leaned down to steal a kiss that jolted through her with stunning force.

“Let us be done with this,” he rasped against her mouth. “I have a far better means to spend the evening.”

She shivered, the image of the delicious vampire sprawled on satin sheets, his fangs latched onto the vulnerable throat of a woman, searing through her mind.

“I can imagine.”

He pulled back, a wicked smile curving his lips at the thickness of her voice.

“Soon you will not have to imagine,” he promised.

Annoyed with the indecent ease with which he could make her heart pound and her body ache, Juliet turned her attention to the heavy door blocking their path.

“Magic?” Victor softly demanded.

She held out a hand, lightly touching the dull metal of the door handle, stiffening when the door slid open with shocking ease.

“There are no hexes or curses.”

“No silver,” Victor deduced. Like most demons, vampires were lethally allergic to silver.

“A spell?”

Juliet shook her head, ignoring the urge to gag at the putrid scent of unwashed bodies and human waste as she stepped to peer into the gloom of the cavern.

She expected the dozen or so people huddled against the far wall, and even their deplorable state of misery. Whether human or demon, being held as a prisoner was a ghastly fate.

No, but what did surprise her was the realization that none of them were bound in any way.

No cages, no shackles, no magic.

She turned to stab Victor with a puzzled frown. “What is keeping them in there?”

“Pure fear.” His expression hardened. “There is nothing to be done, little one. So long as the prisoners are held captive by their terror, then nothing will induce them to leave.”
