“What the freaking crap, Kade?” I grumbled, tugging on the impossibly short hem of my new clubbing dress. Although “dress” was an exaggeration for the skintight thing I was now wearing. The red number was completely backless, barely covering my butt. Side cutouts showed off my ribs to the hip, and the thin spaghetti straps keeping my boobs from popping free of the low top were one thread away from snapping.

Then there were the heels. Heels. Gold stilettos with diamond-studded ankle straps. How was I supposed to rescue Isla in these?

He’d also bought me a small mountain of expensive makeup and hair products, along with several jewelry pieces. I’d never been doted on like this before, and didn’t quite know how to feel. I appreciated the under-eye coverup more than he could know, though.

Someone knocked on the bathroom door. “You okay in there?” Kade hollered. “You’ve been in there for an hour.”

Which meant there was less than an hour to go until midnight. Nervous butterflies cartwheeled through my stomach. I focused on my breathing. In and out, in and out. I wouldn’t faint and ruin all of our plans. Isla needed me.

“Yeah,” I replied, taking one last look at my reflection. I barely recognized myself. False lashes and smokey eyeshadow made my gray irises appear extra silvery bright. My lipstick was blood red, a shade I’d never worn before. Under the circumstances though, the color fit. I’d left my thick hair down but added a few wavy curls, feeling a bit self-conscious about exposing so much of my back. The only jewelry I wore was gold hoop earrings and a few gold wrist bangles, leaving my neck completely bare.

An intentional move, one that I’d made on my own. I had every intention of following the plan we’d discussed earlier this evening, but if things went sideways, I’d be ready.

Inhaling one last breath, I turned for the door. When I opened it, Kade was there, leaning against the wall. Even though he’d transitioned into his vampire form for the night, I could still clearly see the shock on his face when he saw me. Releasing a low whistle, he inspected me from top to bottom before drawling, “That should be illegal on so many levels.”

Willing myself not to blush and epically failing, I muttered, “No thanks to you.”

“Don’t you mean all thanks to me? Either way, you’re welcome,” he said with a wink. “Every male eyeball will be on you. Female too, for that matter.”

“Kade,” Lochlan warned from somewhere in the room.

“You’re incorrigible,” I groused at Kade’s snickered response, his teasing only heightening my nerves. The whole point of this outfit was to draw attention to myself, to distract, but was it that scandalous? Only one way to find out. Gathering the last of my frayed nerves, I stepped around the corner and into the room.

Lochlan’s back was to me, his attention on the view outside the dirty window. But at the sound of my approach, he turned toward me.
