She just didn’t always get the perks like Lewis or Mindy did from Elijah because Melissa was buried in her office, not front and center. I also sent Lewis a message to make sure we were taking better care of her even if she was going to be under Chun now.
I swung by the spa to pick up some more only to find out I wasn’t able to purchase it anymore… As inme specifically.
“Why?” I asked, shocked down to my toes. When I heard the answer, I rolled my eyes and thanked the woman. I could have gotten around it all by using any of my other covers—the one Iwas using for undercover right then even—but it was better to go right to the source.
Meaning I had a vampire to kick.
Repeatedly.
I portaled to Aidan’s condo and instantly froze. He wasn’t there alone, but more than that… They were human. I wouldn’t have thought he’d ever bring humans to his condo.
Interesting.
I set down my things off to the side in the living room so no one just nosed through them. Then I was rude and headed for where he was entertaining.
Since it was thebedroom.
“Well, this is quite the show,darling,” I purred when I found a human woman kneeling between his thighs. He was feeding from her, but the amount of fucking lust in the room was unreal.
And for a lust demon to say that really spoke volumes.
Especially since there was another woman lounging in her lingerie on his sofa getting off on the show. I saw the fang marks on her neck, so clearly she’d been the first.
Aidan flinched and lifted his head, half turned on and half understanding he would have some explaining to do.
I didn’t even bother, jumping right to what I was there for. “Youboughtthe spa I go to and get my volcanic ash soak from? Not only that, but blacklisted me from buying it again?”
Amusement filled his eyes. “A while ago. I knew eventually it would force you to come visit me and it did.”
I gave an unhappy hum and focused on the woman who wanted to throttle me for interrupting the fun. I studied all their desires fast and understood the situation, giving Aidan a glance that I knew what was going on.
And it was a bitdifferentthan what he had told me about feeders. The secret vampires kept from other supes was pretty interesting, so we were going to talk about that later.
“You should suck it,” I told the woman. “Not for pay or extra tip. He would never, but—”
“Never,” Aidan confirmed, his tone firm and a bit cold. “I never get sexual with any feeders and the agency knows that. All my regulars know that.”
“We can always still hope, Mr. O’Malley,” the girl on the sofa giggled. “Dream about it.” She nodded when the girl on the ground snorted. “Your bite is better than any other client, so we all talk about how unreal the sex must be.”
“Oh, I know from experience that it’s beyond compare,” I purred with a smirk. I glanced between the women, their desires to smack me for being petty hitting me. “I could also be the one who makes it come true, so maybe realize I’m not your enemy.” I chuckled when Aidan’s face was painted with shock. “Want to play,darling?”
“Always with you,” he whispered as he licked his fangs. “And I’m being punished for not telling you about this.”
“Smart vampire,” I confirmed… Except he had. Kind of. He was just reading my reaction and forgot he had.
It was probably mean for me not to correct that, but I could later.
“Also for fucking with my rare way to relax.”
“I have stockpiles for you but only one jar at a time and only after you let me spoil you here with a bath like before,” he told me. “That’s not a bad deal.”
No, it wasn’t. It was actually so fucking romantic in a tricky way that I really liked it. I was never going to get sweet, innocent love from a man as old or who had seen as much as Aidan, but… This was a big gesture for him.
I glanced between the women again. “He’ll take the memory of who we are, simply leave you with the sex that will be the best of your life.” I snorted when one was going to object because the bragging rights that she’d screwed Aidan was the real goal.“You’re a hypocrite then because you get pissed when males treat you like a whore to brag about.”
“Fair,” she accepted. “But the world is harsh and sometimes you just want something in your back pocket to shut assholes up.”
“Fair,” I agreed. “Find something else.”
