"Curtis Jenkins," she said, s pleasantly "I’ve decided I want to fuck you after all" She frowned "Or wait, that’s not right My English" she added, shaking her head in dismay "Let me think Ah No I don’t want to fuck you That’s rather repulsive What I want is to fuck with you"

Her smile disappeared and she slaled noises filled his throat as he thrashed about, struggling to break the invisible bonds of her power Sophia circled him slowly, amused by the way his head twisted as he tried to keep her in sight

"Tell me, Jenkins, do you knohere Lucien is?"

The human froze, clearly startled by her question He stared at her in confusion

Puzzled by his reaction, Sophia cocked her head quizzically "Do you knoho Lucien is?"

He shook his head frantically, eyes wide

Sophia sighed She didn’t knohy she’d thought it would be that easy Throwing away all pretense of hu it apart in search of the truth His thoughts were a cesspool of hate and resentment and she felt sullied by the touch of the’s recent attack on Raphael’s mate and Colin, too He resented that Colin had been hired for the local law enforceh what possessed him to think so was unclear

But the brutal assault on Jeree lust that sickened her soul She destroyed that e she caused Reeling with disgust, she was debating whether she needed to waste anymore time on this piece of trash when a fa around, trying to call it back, but it was lost in a ju

Frustration made her clumsy and she shoved the human’s mind away from her too quickly The muscles in his body seized all at once and then released with an audible snap like the release of a spring It sent hi as his brain recovered fro

Sophia eyed hi when she heard fae fro soun in one hand, and as he drew closer she detected the distinct scent of gun powder on his clothing She blinked, suddenly registering the fact that she’d heard gunfire a short ti hiave her a half s Jenkins with bored disinterest "What about this one?"

"You need any help here, darlin’?" Colin asked her

"No, I’ve got this one"

"If you’re sure, then I’reen a while back"

Sophia stood on tiptoes and pulled Colin’s head down for a quick kiss He blinked, clearly startled, but his eyes sparked with pleasure nonetheless "This won’t take long," she assured hi for the rear of the house She watched hirace of a powerful hed with pleasure And then turned back to Jenkins

"Nohere e?"

Colin was surprised at hi Jenkins back there with Sophie, even though he knew there was only one possible outcome It wasn’t a matter of whether the old boy would die, but how And if Sophie wanted to do the honors, that was fine with hied nearly to death and the afternoon he’d raced Leighton’s bloody body back to her vampire lover in a desperate bid to save her life, he’d decided these people didn’t deserve to live And he didn’t trust the courts to serve up justice when it came to varunt and brought his shotgun up, his eyes searching the shadows behind the house as he advanced slowly He’d seen Jereo The vamp wasn’t a soldier and it was entirely possibleHe froze in round

"Hey there, Jeremy," he said carefully

The vaer recognized, spitting out a gob of blood and flesh before treating Colin to a gruesorin "Hi, Colin," he said cheerfully

Colin stepped closer The hu, so it hadn’t happened all that long ago
