SABER

Vanya Demir entered the formal parlor, a glass of spiked eggnog clutched in her fist, and sauntered toward the raised hearth to sit in front of the fire, where she could stare into the flames and sulk.

Ciopori was still taking a shower, while the Silivasi males convened on the porch with Saber Alexiares, Vanya’s mate. The vampires had wanted to speak with the sentinel about a matter involving the king and Kevin Parker; meanwhile, Lisa Fisher, one of the previous human dinner guests, had returned to the farmhouse in a dither. Apparently, she had forgotten her purse.

No problem.

Vanya had graciously offered to fetch the handbag, and she’d inadvertently left the front door open. Big mistake. In the space of three minutes, the human female had forgotten the angst over her handbag and managed to flirt with Saber, like she’d completely lost her mind.

With her superior vampiric hearing, Vanya couldn’t help but overhear the entire coquettish conversation: “Oh, Saber, is that your real hair? Wow, Mr. Alexiares, I can’t believe you’re a sentinel now. Oh my gosh, you have to hear this joke”—blah, blah, blah—“by the way, you’ve got some serious guns—do vampires actually work out?”

What the hell kind of question was that?

Do vampires actually work out?

Do ski bunnies fly?

Perhaps they’d find out!

Besides, was Saber the only drop-dead gorgeous male on that porch?

Vanya didn’t think so.

Just what the heck was it about black-and-red demonic hair, anyway, that made human women want to play fast and loose with a fire-breathing dragon? Couldn’t they sense all that savage, dormant energy just swirling beneath the surface? While Saber may have been redeemed, after living for eight hundred years in the Dark Ones’ Colony, he was still one of the most volatile souls in the house of Jadon.

“Oh, Saber…oh, Saber…ohhhhh, Saber,” Vanya murmured beneath her breath…

She had marched onto that porch, glared icicles through the wanton woman, and tossed Lisa’s purse into the yard—at least twenty feet away—into a tall bank of snow!

And that’s when Saber had intervened.

“Whoa there, Princess,” the dragon had drawled in that erotic, masculine, fire-and-ice voice. “Lisa was just being friendly, just killing time. Let’s go back inside.”

Oh, so Saber and Lisa were on a first-name basis now? “Ah, yes. Of course, she was,” Vanya had quipped in a lyrical tone of her own. “And it’s all very funny until someone loses an eye!” Her voice had turned as frigid as the frozen snow.

Saber had placed his hand on her elbow, spun her around, and walked her back into the foyer. “Not gonna do this tonight, baby girl. I’m on duty, and I need to speak with the Silivasis—be home later.” He’d paused to eye her from head to toe, taking appreciative note of her form-fitting red dress. “You look hot as hell, by the way,” he’d growled. And then he’d brushed his thumb over her lower lip, flashed a hint of his devilish fangs, and sauntered back out the door with that cocky, sexy swagger.

As if Vanya could be that easily manipulated…

Or dismissed.
