Eve didn’t even try to stop the stupid I’m-so-ridiculously-happy grin from hijacking her face.

I couldn’t stay away.

Her heart jerked against her chest just thinking about it. So maybe he had a thing for rambling fools after all.

“How’s the tattoo?” he finally asked after a moment of silence.

She touched the tender spot on her back. “Little sore and itchy. But otherwise, it’s pretty good. I need to put some more tattoo goo on it though. It’s getting a little dry.”

“Hmm...”

She glanced at him out the corner of her eye. He seemed distracted, his thoughts a million miles away. She waved a hand in front of his face. “Earth to Cian.”

He looked at her. “What?”

“You feeling okay? You seem bothered.”

Exhaling, he ran his hand over his head. She loved that hair of his. It was so long, so out of date, and yet it fit. On most any other man, hair that length would be such a turn off. Maybe because he looked so masculine, but it didn’t distract. A wicked desire to have him spread that hair out beneath her and her roll around naked in it made her shiver.

“I’m sorry, Eve. I am distracted, I shouldn’t be. Maybe I’m not good company tonight.”

“No. No, you’re fine.” There wasn’t a chance she was going to let him leave her now.

But the truth was he didn’t seem fine. Not really, and suddenly she felt an urge to do something nice for him. Normally she’d take her friends to a diner and help share their woes over a plate of Mac’s famous chili-cheese fries. But with a vamp that was pretty well out of the question.

Vamps couldn’t metabolize regular food, eating anything that didn’t involve platelets tended to give them the human equivalent of food poisoning. She’d had to concoct several blood cleansing potions for untried newbs still unsettled at the thought of feeding.

Which left only one other place at this time of night. Thankfully an Indian summer had bespelled the day, it was unnaturally warm, all the better for what she had in mind, if she had time that was. She checked her watch. Another two hours before she had to meet the screaming me me’s at the club.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

He frowned. “Isn’t that what we’re doing?”

Eve glanced around. At nine at night, San Francisco was packed with tourists. The flash of several cameras and happily smiling faces attested to that. Loud music from competing clubs, mixed with the high-pitched chatter of vendors and revelers, made it too noisy and crowded. Not something she’d normally mind, but tonight she sensed he might enjoy something a little more sedate and peaceful.

“No, not here. Someplace quiet. Come with me. I know just the spot.” She grabbed his hand and led him off the beaten path.
