"Thanks, Ian I’lanced at the clock "Uh, have you seen Ray tonight?"
"Yes, he just left here We had a nice talk And I sold him a new supplement to try" Ian chuckled "Relax, Glory I can practically hear you grinding your teeth through the phone Ray’s being cautious I told him to wait until after his awards show to try it"
"Well, that’s just swell of you, Ian Thanks a lot" I shut the phone before I could say more When there was a knock on the hall door, I threw a robe on over h the peephole and saw a tall handso there Oh, yeah, Ian had said the mortal he had sent was a "he" Hmm
I heard aon in there, apparently And now I hadNate and his play
A mere mortal? Sure, I could handle hiuy didn’t come with a stake in his pocket I threw open the door and looked him over Cute So the search wouldn’t be a hardship At all
Sixteen
His name was Bart Short for Bartholohts of stairs per Ian’s instructions He gloith good health and reeked of AB negative I was beginning to wonder if every vaht as well put up a Facebook page with s and be done with it Bonus points for Bart He was about to juer to do whatever roupie
"Let’s keep this simple, Bart Just sit next to me on the couch and hand me your wrist" I kept one eye on the balcony and one on Nate’s bedroom door I was about to take my donor into my bedrooe No, we’d stay out here
If Ray’s buddy and his date cas down, I’d just whammy the worossed hiht it was vaet intostory
"Please, Ms St Clair, if you’d just take rateful Or I could ood, if you knohat I mean" Bart ventured a hand tohere my robe had slipped open over my knees
I froze him with a look that said "stop" and made sure my robe covered me down to my ankles "I already feel just fine, thank you, Bart I’m sure Ian explained that you’re just a donor here I have aI need in that other depart his other services? Jeez
"Okay, I get it" Bartup on the neck thing He ripped his tank top off over his head and tossed it on the floor
Wow First Nate, now Bart I was getting a clinic on how a buff male bod should look Not that Jerry and Ray weren’t built They were But neither had been fanatics about working out in their mortal lives And ValdezThe tiether had been brief and I’d tried not to stare because it would have been violating soh, I was going to have to do the full tour I shook off the thought and focused
"What the hell are you doing, Bart?"
"Nothing you don’t want, Ms St Clair Ian says I’ht?" Bart stared at reen eyes the color of old money His dark hair was cut short and he either shaved his chest or didn’t grow hair anywhere but on his head Oops, I was checking out his body again
"Ian’s right So what?" I picked up his wrist and inhaled Oh, s zipped into position
"I’ you a favor, aren’t I? Why not hold ular?" Bart smiled, an even dimmer bulb than Trina had been
Didn’t thesemore in their lives than an obsession with vampires? I read Bart’s ht not be wearing under my terry robe, apparently not
"Listen, Bart I’ve had a rough night Sorry if this isn’t the joyride you fantasized about, but I’et this over with Where’s my supplement?"
"I’ll tell you if you’ll kiss ue" Bart leaned toward oodies on the end of a hook
That did it I used the whammy, then checked the backpack Bart had worn in to the suite and pulled out the distinctive bottle of my supplement I set it on the coffee table, then turned to fish face
