My laughter, over some comment from Drew, dies when Vivian comes down the hall with Bob draped over her shoulder "Is he okay?"

Bob see on a wo away "I&039; reen eyes on the o up and lay down to rest on our living roo in the basement"

"No proble on?" I ask

"Paul needed some alone time, and blood, after the scene in the cabin He&039;s so young I was impressed he didn&039;t lick the walls ere there" The look on s and continues "Hey, don&039;t judge I bet when you were a neolf you needed help to hbors"

Her observation may be true, but I don&039;t have to ad smiles atht now and, of course, already knows just how bad I hen I first changed Sneaky bitch

She walks over to Drew&039;s position near thefor her anger I never knohat she knows She doesn&039;t look my way, so it&039;s a safe bet she wasn&039;t inme out a bit I need to learn how to build sohts all the tihter, Diane, will be able to give me some advice I heard she practices sos I can&039;t deny the existence of ic, even if I can&039;t see it like I can shifters and vae I would have said all of it was crap

"You&039;re having way too much fun with theout to pick up an eraser with the name Stan scrawled across it

"I prefer to keep track of the a live visual, rather than the coht this was better than the little Arested"

"Now that would have been a hoot," I say

Vivian tilts her head ainst the wall on the far right of the L-shaped desk She stares and really sees me for the first time since she came into the roo my face to the side

"What happened to you?" Her voice sounds calm A deathly type of calm, if you ask me

"Ulance away, trying to break"

Her beauty excites and scares me all at the same ti to lick her head to toe, beg at her feet for love, or run screaood combination most days, but one I&039;m addicted to nonetheless She just simply is

"I broke fro with the back to talk to you about investigating Melvyn&039;s death I sensed I was being followed back fro alley to change back in case I needed to confront rip loosens until she&039;s gently caressing the side of my face, like a lover after a sweaty romp "It was Emiko and she attacked me She was deteret her to see reason"

Vivian releasesin to sniff near my neck The lack of e alley: if Emiko had bittenthe truth behind the allegations in Argentina or who ht hands rest onslowly to , barely ski in to whisper, "You are ; this is a side she doesn&039;t normally share with me "If she, or anyone, touches you-I will kill theht?"

The hair on my body stands at attention, the nearness of the object of my desire is almost more than I can handle I want so badly to wrap myself around her and rub in her scent But I know I can&039;t Shetraces of Rafe cling to her skin

A shaky breath leaves rance away as well "Yes, I know"

Her head tilts curiously to the side, "How did you elude her?"

"Asa"

Her features sharpen a bit and close down at his naht the reaction on "Go on"

"He came in when she had me pinned, and trustto stop It was like she didn&039;t hear or care"

"She could have an old addiction she&039;s recovering from It happens a lot"

Which I kneell, it was one of the reasons I steered clear of theas much as possible

"Does this put her back on as a suspect with Melvyn?" Drew asks

"I don&039;t think so, but we&039;ll discuss it with the whole group" Another thought occurs to her and she looksht?"
