Chapter 16

Decker was more than happy to add an extra guest to the list for the Whitney event. It pleased Samuel, who seemed awfully comfortable sending his daughter into the lion’s den to entice a bunch of men into revealing their secrets, but I had to remember what Olivia was—a seasoned assassin with a nasty bite and a flair for magic that gave her the advantage over any vampire. But a Caspian wasn’t just any vampire.

Jules showed up at seven o’clock. I’d asked her to come over while I got ready so we could talk about what happened the other night. The sooner we got it all out in the open, the sooner we could get back to normal. At least I hoped we could.

She headed for my bedroom as if nothing had happened. “Let me see your dress.”

Although the party was at a museum, it wasn’t black-tie, so I’d chosen a cocktail dress that showed a good amount of skin. “Is this okay?”

She nodded a few times. “Perfect. Redheads look great in black.”

Black, the universal color of power and elegance. “Everyone looks good in black.”

“Yeah, that’s true,” she said as she started going through my shoes. “You can wear the red ones if you want to make a statement, but I’d stick with the black satin pumps.”

She spent more time than necessary rooting through my closet before casually bringing up the conversation we’d both been dancing around. “Do you need some blood?”

“What?”

“Blood,” she repeated, pulling her head out. “It’s not a big deal, Morgan. You didn’t go psycho on me the other night, so we’re good.” She started fiddling with my clothes again but suddenly turned around and pointed her finger at me. “But if you ever jump off a building like that again, I’ll kill your ass.”

She knew I traveled, but she’d never actually seen me do it before, so I understood how jarring it must have been to see me go over the edge like that. But I’d done it for her, just in case I got a little cocky after getting a taste of her blood. The truth was, I’d been in control the whole time. I managed to hold myself back even though I wanted more. After I found myself standing in the park, I knew I wouldn’t have hurt her.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

She put her hands on her hips and shook her head. “Jesus, Morgan, I didn’t think you could scare me anymore.”

I decided to give her the news about her blood. “Hawk thinks you’re something called a Violet.”

She snorted a laugh. “A what?”

“Your blood has some kind of special energy. Apparently you’re a prized commodity in vampire circles.”

She stared at me for a few seconds before cocking her head. “Really? Interesting.”

“I don’t need any right now, but I might take you up on your offer in the future if it doesn’t get too weird between us.”

She smirked. “It’s already weird, but we’ll survive. We always do.” She headed out of the bedroom.
