about?”
    “What the hell am I talking about?” I shrieked. “Oh, I don’t know. How about the very important fact that your ex-wife is a vampire??”
    He looked startled for a moment b efore collecting himself. “Oh…that.”
    “ ‘Oh, that,’ ” I repeated. “Are you kidding me? That’s all you have to say?”
    He grabbed a beer out of the fridge and took a big swig. “What am I supposed to say, Karli? So Leo finally told you. I don’t understand why you’re so upset. If anyone should be pissed, it should be me.”
    “What do you mean, Leo finally told me?” I asked. “Leo didn’t tell me shit.”
    He looked confused. “Well, then how did you know she was a vampire?”
    “Because she came into the bar tonight, with fangs a blazin’ to threaten me.”
    He set his beer on the golden granite countertop. “Fuck.”
    “Um, yeah. My sentiments exactly,” I said. “What the hell is going on, Vance?”
    He grabbed my hand and led me to the couch. “ Karli, sit down. I need to know exactly what happened.”
    I sat down and began recounting Maria’s visit to the bar. Relieved to get it off my chest, I leaned back into the beige leather cushions and took a deep breath. I made the mistake of looking over towards Vance. Not only did he look super sexy with bed head and stubble, but I somehow had just noticed that he was wearing a pair of black boxer briefs with nothing else. Bronzed skin, defined pecs, sinew everywhere. Oh God! Look away, Karli! Look away!
    I quickly diverted my eyes to an extremely interesting piece of lint and said, “So, you’ve heard my side. Now it’s your turn.”
    He sighed. “Karli, it’s three in the morning. Telling my side of the story would take forever. You look exhausted.  I am too. I think we should get some sleep and talk about this afterwards.”
    I crossed my arms over my chest. “Vance, I’m not leaving until I get some answers.”
    He pulled me off the couch. “I didn’t say you had to leave. I said we needed sleep.” He started leading me back to wards his bedroom.
    I dug in my heels. “Wait! No-no-no-no! What do you think you’re doing?”
    He turned around.  “ Karli, we are going to bed. To sleep. I mean it. Stop panicking. I’m not going to touch you, but I’m also not letting you out of my sight until I figure out what Maria’s agenda is. I don’t like the fact that she’s in town at all, but I especially don’t like the fact that she knows about you.” He sighed. “Look, she’s not the woman she used to be, and I don’t trust her one bit. I need to figure out what drove her back to Vegas.”
    “I kn ow what drove her back to Vegas,” I said. “She told me. It was you.”
    He pinched the bridge of his nose. “All the more reason for you to stay. She’s unstable, jealous, and insecure. That’s not a good combination for a vampire. Especially not when the apparent target is a full-blooded fairy.”
    We were in his bedroom then . As he was climbing into his king-sized bed I asked, “So, just to be clear…you expect me to crawl into bed with you and sleep ? That’s all?”
    He patted the mattress. “Yes, Karli. Just some good old-fashioned sleep.” He crossed his heart. “I promise I’ll be a good boy.”
    *****
    I woke up later that day to the smell of coffee brewing. Vance kept his promise; he didn’t make a move on me once. The mountain of pillows in between us had been really for my benefit. So I wouldn’t make a move on him . I had been awake for hours just lying there becoming hornier by the second. He smelled so good, and the sex visions wouldn’t stop. It took every bit of restraint that I had not to touch him. Or myself.
    I took an ice cold shower before going into the kitchen to face him. He handed me a cup of coffee as I sat down at the breakfast bar. “So,” I said. “I want details.”
    He placed an omelet in front of me. “Eat.”
    I took a bite. “Omigod. I think this is the best omelet I’ve ever had. I
