“Just that you dance professionally. She’s eager to see you,” Leia said, and then frowned. “They won’t be able to tell you’re a vampire, will they?”

“Of course not. I’ve never met anyone who could tell. Except for a few hunters, of course.”

“I asked Janae to be my matron of honor. Is that going to be a problem?”

“Not if Trent behaves himself.”

“I still can’t believe she doesn’t know what he does. Oh! I found a church. We’re getting married two weeks from now. Is that okay with you?”

He nodded.

“Oh!” Leia stared at him, wide-eyed. “I almost forgot! We need to make an appointment to get a marriage license! I’ll do that in the morning.”

Rohan nodded and then he leered at her. “What do you say we go practice for the honeymoon?”

Leia sighed dramatically as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Sex, sex, sex, that’s all men want.”

Rohan laughed out loud. “And it’s all you think about.”

“It is not!”

“Darlin’, you can’t lie to me. I can read your thoughts, remember?”

“All right, I confess. It crosses my mind briefly from time-to-time.”

“Uh-huh. Well, if you’re not in the mood … ”

“Oh, shut up and take me to bed, you fool.”

She let out a gasp as, between one breath and the next, he transported them into the bedroom and onto the bed. Somewhere along the way, their clothing had disappeared. “You never fail to amaze me,” she muttered as he took her in his arms.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” he said, waggling his eyebrows.

“Show me,” she whispered. “Show me everything.”

Pleasure unfurled deep within her as he rained kisses on her brow, her cheeks, her lips, along the side of her neck. She frowned when, abruptly, he bolted upright. “What’s wrong?”

“Magdalena is outside.”

“What doesshewant?”

“Nothing good, I’m sure.” He was out of bed and pulling on his pants as he spoke. “Stay here. I’ll be right back.”

Before she could protest, he was gone.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Rohan growled.

“Sorry to interrupt you, but I haven’t heard from you. You said you’d get in touch with me in a day or two.”

“I’ve had other things on my mind.”

“Yes,” Magdalena said, with a sneer. “I can smell that otherthingall over you.”

“Don’t push me.”

“I may not be able to destroy Josiah, but a human female would be no trouble at all.”

Rohan bared his fangs as his power surrounded her. “You’re on dangerous ground, Magdalena. You’d better think twice before you push me too far.”
