“But our prisoner. The warlock.”
“Going nowhere. I already checked. He’ll behugging the tree until we get back to him.” Nico glanced down athis swollen, aching shaft. When Sabine shrugged out of her tee,toed off her boots, and shimmied out of her pants, he froze. “Oh,holy hell.”
His nymph was naked. She was perfect. He wasas breathless as a virgin teenager about to do it in the back seatof his car for the first time.

Denim tapped her wrist,rocking her implanted D-chip. “This is fa-an-tastic.” She and theother armed Firebrands exited the portal near Jackson Squarewithout incident.
“You’re a kid with a new toy, girlfriend.”Galena shook out her black shoulder-length bob, so chic it settledimmediately into place.
Denim nodded. “You guys don’t appreciatethis little gadget.”
“Every day we’re thankful.” When Reinsmirked, his fangs popped into view. “If we can get down tobusiness, we’ll split up to hit the hot spots. Question allAeternals. If they shouldn’t be here, tell them to head home but tostay in a big group with their eyes peeled. We can’t babysit themtonight. What we want is intel on the baby vamps. Do they knowthem? Have they seen them? Could Varik and Norah still be partyingover here?”
Galena jabbed an elbow into Thorn’s rib.“Got it, Lieutenant Commander.”
“You fucking call me that again, Amazon,I’ll lay you out cold.” Rein was famous for his control, but Denimguessed he didn’t appreciate Galena’s giving him a title.
Her friend shrugged but didn’t wipe thesmile.
“Thorn and dumbass, you’re a team. Take thejoints between Canal and St. Louis. Denim and Ram, search the spotsfrom St. Louis to Dumaine. I’ll be on my own from there toEsplanade.”

“I’m all yours.”
He gave her a sexier-than-hell satyr grin.She almost shucked her pants to get it on with him.
Focus.
“How about a quickie in a back alley?” askedRam.
They were on the same wavelength. Which wasscary. “We’re on a mission. Stuff it.”
“I’m trying to. Stuff it in your…”
“You are annoying me again. Keep your mindon the job.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Different. Stronger. More alive. Like mybody’s flipping on switches.”
“Not about your witchiness, doll. Aboutyesterday.”
“Oh. Good.”
“Good?”
Catching his squeezed down brows, she added,“Okay. Great. Fantastic. You were terrific. I’m still havingfantasies about you.”
“Are you blushing?” Ram pulled her to ahalt, his palm locked around her upper arm. “That’s so cute. Youare blushing.”
“Shut it.”
An arrogant satyr smile spread across hisface until his attention shifted to Muriel’s. “Doll, wait a sec.”Ram ducked inside the restaurant’s bar.
