softly, a very
devilish smile on her face. "They must really like us."
    "You’re
a bad girl." Natalie slapped Ashleigh on the butt playfully before yanking
on her sleeve and pulling her close. "I know that smile, and I know how
long it’s been since you’ve been with a guy."
    "Duh.
I'm not like you—I don't always think about sex." Ashleigh laughed again,
getting closer to Natalie as she whispered, "They’re vampires. I’m not dumb
enough to sleep with any of them."
    "Wanna
bet?"
    "No, and if I do, it’ll just be for research." She set down her
soda and took a few pieces of pizza from the box. She then grabbed her plate
and followed Natalie out to the living room.
    "Liar."
Natalie chuckled, tickling Ashleigh’s sides as they walked.
    "Knock
it off!" Ashleigh let out a high-pitched squeak and quickly elbowed
Natalie in the arm.
    Ashleigh
was going to sit, but the couches were filled. The guys had already settled in
and were watching television. One was holding their cat, who was happily
lapping up the attention. Most of them had shed their coats in the limo and
were now sitting around with half-unbuttoned shirts and rolled up sleeves that
showed a few tattoos on their arms.
    Spencer
was sitting in the lounge chair and had taken control of the remote, turning on
a hockey game that all of them seemed to like. They were all very active and in
overly hyped-up moods. None of them were able to sit completely still.
    The
girls stood against the wall as they ate. They gawked at men in their living
room, none of them devouring the pizza like normal guys would. Ashleigh glanced
at Natalie, who was checking out Nathan. He was yelling at the television.
There was a small smile on Natalie's face as she licked her lips.
    Speaking
in a mocking tone, Ashleigh’s voice was low. "You bad girl, don’t you
dare. Did you forget these guys are vampires?"
    Natalie
reacted by sending her a small smile and jab in the arm. "Shut up. I’ll
dare if I want to, and I dare you to get the full vampire experience
tonight as well."
    "I don't think so," she whispered as she tried to keep in her
giggle. "Not unless it was with Caleb Mason."
    "Well, I doubt that." Natalie chuckled softly.
    "Exactly. That's why I had to write it in books."
    "Come on, Ash, these guys are hot too."
    "No." Ashleigh snorted, some of the men turning to look at her
as if they had just noticed she was in the room. Her smile quickly melted and
the hint of fear sparked inside her again.
    Ashleigh
took her empty plate into the kitchen, whispering to Natalie as they walked,
"And you better not either."
    When
she came back out, they had shut off the television, an empty spot magically
appearing on the sofa. A few of them motioned for her to sit down. Ashleigh
stepped over the long legs of the men sitting on the floor and claimed the
empty seat.
    "So…"
Nervously putting her hands on her knees, Ashleigh scanned their curious faces,
purposely avoiding Spencer’s. "Why did you all want to meet me? I was
scared it was because I write cheesy vampire novels, and you were offended."
    "It’s
amazing how well your books portray real vampires." Nathan, who was
sitting next to her, was the first to speak. "We're not monsters, we're
just like you…minus the serial killer gene." He laughed as he turned his
body toward her, his knees hitting hers. "And I loved your torture scenes.
Ahh… It made my mouth water just reading your description of the blood flowing."
    He
licked his lips, an excited tone in his voice. "Yum. I wanted to lick that
severed flesh clean." The rest of the vampires laughed, all of them
nodding and agreeing with Nathan.
    "I
got a lot of heat about those scenes." Ashleigh let out a nervous giggle,
biting her lip as she took in all their happy faces. "My editor wanted to
take some of those out because he thought there was too much violence and not
enough romance."
    Another
spoke up. "I loved them. Especially that scene with Hannah in the butcher
shop. Wow."
    The
