Their laughter stopped the moment they saw her.

“What’s going on?” She tried to sound calm even though she wasn’t.

“Witches aren’t welcome,” the tall one said. What was his name again? Lawrence. Yeah, Lawrence the self-proclaimed leader and obvious witch hater. The snot.

“She’s with me,” Simon said.

“She was casting a locator spell. Do I need to remind you that any supernatural items in Gold Coast territory belong to our clan?” Lawrence said.

“In most cases, that’s true,” Simon agreed.

“But not in your case?”

“I’m not at liberty to say.”

“Perhaps if you told me what you’re looking for, we could help you find it,” Lawrence said.

“That’s very thoughtful of you, but not necessary,” Simon said. “I don’t need your help.”

“Yet you need the help of a witch?”

“I enjoy her company.”

“What about you, witch? Do you enjoy his company, too?” Lawrence said.

They were leering at her as if she was a camp follower. Or in their case, a vamp camp follower.

Simon reached out and pulled her close to him, shifting his hand to the back of her neck. “Of course she does.”

“Yet she deserted you at the first sign of trouble,” Lawrence pointed out.

Simon shrugged. “What can I say? You intimidated her.”

He gently squeezed his fingers on her nape, warning her to stay silent.

“So the poor little witch is afraid of the big bad vampire?”

They all laughed. Even Damon, who had been standing nearby but stayed out of the conversation.

Perhaps sensing that Pru was nearing the end of her rope, Simon said, “Are we done here?”

“For now,” Lawrence said. “It’s been informative meeting you, Simon. Safe travels.”

“Right back at ya,” Pru muttered under her breath.

The group of vampires disappeared as quickly as they’d appeared.

Pulling away from Simon, she turned to face him. “How dare you—”

He silenced her by putting his finger over her lips. “Not here.” Turning his attention to Damon, he said, “Shall we head on out?”

Damon nodded.

“Allow me.” Simon put his arms around Pru so that her body rested against his. He wrapped his trench coat around her as he went airborne. Since her face was buried in his neck she couldn’t see where they were going, and she didn’t like it. She sensed that he was able to move much faster than she could and that he could control the speed with which he moved. She also sensed that she wanted him. Wanted him bad. But couldn’t have him because she’d cursed him.

“Back in one piece,” he announced as he set her on her feet.

She breathed in the scent of him. He really shouldn’t still have this kind of sexual power over her. She shouldn’t still love him.

“Pru?”

“Hmm?”

“Are you okay?”

She stepped back and glared at him. “No, I’m not okay. I do not appreciate being laughed at by a gang of vampires.”

He glared right back at her. “And I don’t appreciate being cursed by a witch.”

She wasn’t sure how it happened, but somehow his mouth was on hers in a kiss that was as fierce as it was raw. He moved so fast he stole her breath, but it was his passion that stole her heart. He slid his tongue past her parted lips to tickle the roof of her mouth before tangling with her tongue in an erotic thrust and parry that made her want more. But she could tell he wasn’t ready to break the curse himself, and she couldn’t do it for him.

As difficult as it was for her, she pulled away.

“I can’t make you believe if you don’t,” she said before walking out.

CHAPTER FOUR

“Navy Pier is a neutral zone. Sort of the vampire version of Switzerland,” Simon told Pru the next morning as he escorted her toward the Holiday Ice Sculpture Festival taking place on the Chicago tourist spot. “It actually juts out into the lake and the lake is also a neutral zone.”

“Fascinating, I’m sure,” Pru said. She wasn’t feeling real cheerful today. Memories of his kiss had kept her awake half the night.

“Time is running out,” Simon reminded her.

Thinking about running made her glance down at her footwear. She was wearing her magic kick-ass boots today. Contrary to popular fashion, they were not four-inch-high stilettos. Hers were more along the line of blinged-out red leather cowboy boots. Looks were nice, but the main thing was that she could run in them. Run really fast. And kick really hard.

Because when one was dealing with vampires and demons, the ability to move quickly was important. Yes, she could do a disappearing spell, but there were occasions when there was no time to speak one word. And she could hardly go airborne when she was surrounded by humans in the middle of the day. Witches were supposed to stay under the radar.

Had she stayed back in Boston, she would have been working at the Spirit Wellness Center today, seeing patients and working on ways to help them heal.

Instead here she was in Chicago with the vampire Demon Hunter who had seduced her and deserted her. The vampire Demon Hunter she’d cursed. The vampire Demon Hunter she was now helping in his quest to find Excalibur before someone else did.

They’d driven into the city, using a car for a change. Pru had tried to press Simon for more answers. He’d evaded answering just as he’d evaded the crazy drivers skimming through on red lights. He had told her about the forty-eight-hour deadline and reminded her that a powerful and indestructible weapon like Excalibur could not fall into the wrong hands. As in demon hands. Or even in Gold Coast vampire hands.

Then he’d gone on to grumble over the fact that they’d had to borrow Zoe’s red Mini instead of Damon’s top-of-the-line black Porsche. Apparently Damon didn’t let anyone borrow his car, not even his sire. She couldn’t blame him. Simon drove like he did everything else, fast. He’d slowed down when he had sex with her. Then he’d taken all night, working her body for hours of bliss.

She’d already had a restless night dreaming of Simon. She didn’t need to be thinking about having sex with him when she was awake.

The ice festival opened today at noon and they’d arrived right on time. The cheerful sound of “Jingle Bells” sung by a children’s chorus filled the frigid air.

Looking around at the crowd gathered for the Holiday Ice Sculpture Festival, Pru didn’t detect any supernaturals, unless you counted the mom of five who was able to keep all her kids well behaved. If that wasn’t magical, Pru didn’t know what was.

Then she saw them. Lawrence, the tall Botox vampire who had confronted them at the Millennium Park Ice Rink the night before, and two of his sidekicks.

“Out enjoying the sights?” he asked her.

“Yes. I’ve never been to Navy Pier before.”

Simon put his arm around her, staking his claim. He did so with such emphasis that he might as well have had her wear a T-shirt that said “SHE’S MINE.”

Instead she was wearing a holiday red down jacket over layers of cashmere and denim to stay warm. The jaunty red Santa hat on her head had been put there by one of the young workers at the entrance. They hadn’t even attempted to put one on Simon. One look from his glacier-cold eyes and they’d quickly stepped away.

“Navy Pier is neutral territory,” Simon curtly reminded the other vampire.

“I’m here to make sure it stays that way,” Lawrence said.
