EVERLY

“Jean-Claude.” Riven deepens his voice. “There’s fresh blood in the compartment. Leave Everly here.”

Arms tighten around me. “I won’t… she calms me.”

The count might have a rein on his instincts, but he’s clearly not okay.

Harlow steps forward, and Jean-Claude sees the movement immediately. He hisses at Harlow. “Stay back.”

The anguish on the incubus’s face pains me. “You’re not bringing her with you.”

“You don’t command me.”

“Are you saying the great Count, Jean-Claude Von Zarovich, the third, can’t control himself and needs to bring a dryad to his resting place like a scared little boy with a binky?”

Jean-Claude snarls again. Harlow is pulling out all the stops, but it’s pissing off the count.

“Here.” I slowly—very slowly—pull my backpack purse around and fish out an oracle card. I turn to face Jean-Claude and concentrate on the picture in my hands. The energy is accepted, and I can feel the spell working. I tuck the oracle card in the inside pocket of his suit and pat his lapel. “Can you feel that?” I’m no longer with him physically, but I am metaphorically. It will feel as if I’m still with him so I step out of his embrace.

He looks down and palms the space where my head would be if I were standing there with him. It’s like watching a mime caress an invisible person. He feels my representation and nods.

“Take that part of me with you.”

Jean-Claude nods again, staring at me with a type of disconcerted awe, and slips into the room beyond the bookshelf. Riven taps the button and the secret compartment seals itself. As if there was nothing behind the bookshelf at all.

Harlow is the first one to break the silence with a choked sigh.

“Fucking fuck.” He throws a blanket over my shoulders and wraps it around me. Before I can ask what he’s doing, the incubus hugs me, burying his head between the blanket and my neck. His grip is so firm, I don’t think he’s ever going to let go.

“What happened?” Riven’s voice is soft.

“I don’t know,” Harlow answers, shaking his head. “I got Jean-Claude to the infirmary. He was asleep or whatever, but before anyone could check him, he just roared back to life and rushed out.”

“Was he alert? Coherent?” Riven asks.

“Um, he had this crazed look in his eyes, like he didn’t know where he was.”

“Did he respond to his name?”

“No.” Harlow sighs into my hair. I close my eyes, loving the feel of him behind me, arms wrapped around me. I feel safe.

“Did he speak?” Riven asks. I notice his eyes following Harlow’s arms. It doesn’t seem like he likes the fact that we’re so… chummy. He doesn’t say anything though.

“No.”

“Were his movements fluid? Controlled?”

“Yes.”

Riven lets out a breath. “Okay.”

“How did you…” Harlow starts but he’s no longer talking to Riven. He’s talking to me. He tosses a hand at the bookshelf that doubles as a vampire safe. “What was that?” he says as he looks down at me.

I smile at him. “I actually got the idea from you.
