CHAPTER

8

Gregory worked hard to contain his elation. If the darling Ghost had the tiniest hint how thrilled he was to be spending the night with her, she’d likely shoot him again. Worse, she’d leave.

“I suppose we’d better get B.B.,” she observed as they left the club and went into the autumn Boston evening. “Not that I don’t appreciate you getting rid of him. But I’d feel better if I saw him safely home. Otherwise he’ll just—”

“Wander around, fucking off,” Gregory confirmed. “Not to tell you your business—”

“So don’t.”

“But what were you thinking, letting him tag along?”

“He caught me in a weak moment,” she admitted. “Not to mention, I was sort of impressed. Most people in that situation would have pissed themselves with fear, then cried themselves to sleep. He wanted to tag along and help me.”

“Can’t blame him for that one,” Gregory murmured.

She gave him a sideways look, one without the slightest drop of flirtation. “Don’t start the whole vampire seduction bullshit, unless you like the taste of wood.”

“Wanting to seduce you has nothing to do with my being a vampire,” he told her.

“Right.” She managed to cram an amazing amount of disgust and disbelief into one word.

“Is this the part where you pretend that you have no idea you’re fantastically beautiful?” he asked politely.

Her lips went so tight they almost disappeared. “No, it’s the part where I kill you and then sit down to a chicken dinner.”

“After we get Eddie,” he reminded her, cheering up, as always, at the prospect of distracting death. Not to mention possibly buying death a drink.
