The truck that Aya Mansour procured for us is nothing short of a monster. The Land Rover isn’t new, but it’s been freshly cleaned, and it gleams white under the setting sun. Raphaël does a perfunctory check of our gear, and Nora pokes through the food provisions, mumbling to herself something about cookies.

She tasted of sugar and almonds earlier, and I hadn’t been able to resist her. Our office adventure was unplanned, and I can’t wrap my head around how hard I came while another man kissed my woman.

Fuck.

Whatever Nora and I have, it’s getting more complicated by the second. I knew she had some unresolved feelings about Raphaël, but as long as she also wanted me, I wasn’t going to complain. Then I went and screwed her while he watched us, instead of pulling away. If I hadn’t, he wouldn’t have kissed her. Not then, anyway, but judging by how they both reacted, I don’t think they would have been able to keep their hands off each other for long. It would rankle, but the look Raphaël and I shared over Nora’s head as he burst into the room had me flaming up, and I couldn’t stop, not when her inner walls clamped down on me, squeezing me so sweetly.

And now I’m half hard again, just thinking about that.

What a mess.

To give myself something to do, I throw our bags in the trunk, then hop in on the driver’s side and push back the seat to make room for my legs. Then I wait for Nora and Raphaël to figure out between themselves who wants to ride shotgun.

Raphaël opens the passenger-side door and raises one dark eyebrow. “Want to let me drive?”

I shake my head. “Not until we hit the sands. I’ve never driven in the desert before, so it’s better if you do it.” I’m making assumptions, but I’m betting the vampire has the skills necessary to take us deep into the back country. “You can be navigator for now, or rest. I want to try this baby out.”

His lips press together, but he doesn’t object. Neither does he comment on what happened. In the rearview mirror, I meet Nora’s wide-eyed gaze, but she ducks down to rummage through her backpack instead of chatting with us.

Fine with me.

We all need some time to think.

I take us out of the city, following the navigation system that works great for now. It’s after we reach the last oasis on our route, Kharga, that we’ll get off the roads and into the desert proper. The highway south is clogged with evening traffic, but the farther we get from Cairo’s center, the fewer cars there are on the road. The sun sets slowly, flashing blinding orange light at us through various buildings as we head farther away from the Nile.

Then, after a big road junction, something on our left side catches my attention.

“Holy shit,” I say, “are those…?”

The world-famous Egyptian pyramids rise out of the desert, imposing even from the distance. I’d
