Six

You did a pretty good imitation of a zombie.

Viktor tricked me, and I didn’t mind a bit. He distracted me so thoroughly I didn’t care about anything other than him. Instead of murderous pillow talk, I slept. When I woke, I discovered I held his arm in a white-knuckled grip. He worked on his phone, and when he caught me watching him, he smirked. “Good evening, sleepy.”

Yawning proved him right, and I stretched, wincing at my stiff, sore muscles. “What time is it?”

“Seven. If you’d like to go out for dinner, there’s time to take a shower if you want. We won’t be heading back to California today. Until you’re capable of lasting a few hours without wanting to jump every attractive man you see, and you can stay awake for several continuous hours, we’re staying here. Standard CDC procedure, and the room bill is going to your ex-husband.”

I liked the sound of that. “Room service, as expensive as we can make it?”

He chuckled. “Would be billed to him, yes.”

“I like the sound of that. Did I miss anything?”

“Remember lunch?”

I shook my head.

“I’m not surprised. You did a pretty good imitation of a zombie. You slept right through when I called in a vampire to make sure there were no additional beguilements; Annie wasn’t certain she’d gotten them all, and when Annie isn’t sure, I worry. Fortunately, she had. You’re clean.”

“Oh. That’s good. Was I bitten again?” I checked my arm for any new puncture marks but couldn’t find any.

“No. As there was no need, I refused on your behalf. You’ve been traumatized enough. Now that the worst is over, you deserve to be pampered while you’re recovering.”

“I appreciate that.” I did, too. I couldn’t remember the last time anyone had actually pampered me. Until I got a few minutes to think, I refused to worry about it. I turned my attention to the bathroom door. “Is there a decent tub in this place?”

“There’s a Jacuzzi.”

I bolted out of bed and beelined for the door. “You’re welcome to join me.”

“If I do that, we’ll never leave the room.”

“That’s what room service is for, and you already told me Adken has to pay for my indulgences. With room service, we don’t have to leave.” I giggled, slipped inside the marble-tiled bathroom, and examined the tub trying to learn its secrets. “How’d you score such a nice room on such short notice?”

“Thank the CDC; they keep ongoing reservations at nice hotels as part of its operations. Creature comforts go a long way towards helping victims recover. Whenever security is a concern, the CDC pulls from their reservation pool on the top floor of good hotels, as is the case with you. If that bastard tries to get to you here, he’ll regret it. I’m not the only CDC agent in the building. I’m just the one who has no scruples about killing the bastard and tossing his body off the balcony.”

A chill ran through me. “They haven’t caught him yet?”

“No, not yet. Don’t worry.
