Kissing with Fangs Read Online Free PDF

get you some Chinese tea?”
    She sighed. “If that’s all you have.”
    Kurt chuckled. “You were hoping for a White Russian?”
    One corner of Sadie’s mouth turned up. “You know me too well, but I was actually worried about the caffeine at this time of night.”
    â€œYou might need a little to sharpen your psychic senses,” Anthony said.
    Her gift didn’t work like that, but no one needed to know about her trances. As soon as she’d settled onto the couch, she pulled her tarot cards out of her large satchel and began shuffling them.
    â€œI was kind of kidding about the tarot reading,” Kurt said. “I was told you don’t really need the cards to do your psychic thing.”
    â€œThat’s true. It’s mostly for show, but sometimes just one card can lead me in the right direction. What’s your question?”
    â€œI’d like to know the location of the lab that’s been capturing and holding paranormals.”
    Sadie’s jaw dropped. She’d always worried about humans other than Kurt and herself learning that paranormals were real and living among the residents of Boston. “How… When…”
    â€œWhat I really need to know is where .”
    â€œI understand, but I can’t pinpoint locations.”
    â€œBut you said a card can point you in the right direction.”
    â€œI meant that metaphorically.”
    Anthony returned with a small bamboo tray, a cup of tea, a spoon, and a packet of sugar. “Here you go.”
    Sadie took a sip and wrinkled her nose at the strange-tasting tea. She added some sugar to kill the unfamiliar taste and tried again. “Ah, that’s better.” Setting the cup on the tea table, she said, “Tell me what’s been going on. It sounds like I’ve missed something big.”
    â€œA few paras have gone missing. All we have are rumors right now, but if what we suspect is true, we could lose a lot of friends before we put a stop to it,” Kurt said.
    Anthony sat next to her. “I don’t think it’s a rumor. I think every paranormal’s worst fear is coming true.”
    â€œBut how? Isn’t the number one rule for all paranormals to keep their identity a secret?” she asked.
    â€œIt is. But somehow word has leaked out, and just as we feared, we’re being hunted.”
    â€œBy whom and for what?”
    Anthony snorted. “Scientists. The government. They could want our supernatural strength and healing power for an immortal military. I don’t know.” He shook his head.
    She laid a hand on his shoulder. “Anthony, did you keep the tea leaves?”
    â€œUh, no. I tossed them in the garbage. Do you read tea leaves?”
    â€œYes. I can sometimes figure out timelines by where the leaves land in the cup, but it still won’t give me a location.”
    â€œI can make more.” Anthony turned toward the kitchen, but she reached out and grabbed his arm. “Let me try the cards first.”
    He nodded and sat nearby. Sadie shuffled them a bit more purposefully. “I’ll tell you what I can. I’ve read you before, Kurt. Do you remember your indicator card?”
    â€œThe Hierophant.”
    Kurt waited on the edge of his seat as Sadie gathered up her cards again. A card jumped out of the deck and fell right side up on the table. It was the Hierophant.
    Sadie leaned back and stared at the card. “Now, I’m good, but I’m not that good.”
    Kurt chuckled. “I figured you might need it, so I found it for you.”
    Sadie shook her head and muttered, “Show-off wizard.”
    Kurt’s grin indicated he didn’t take offense.
    She placed the card in front of her and set the deck next to it. “Cut the deck and hand me the top card.”
    Kurt did as she asked, and she placed the King of Swords over the Hierophant, sideways.
    â€œKings and queens indicate people and
