tell me?”
    “ I'm forbidden to, but if you agree, I can then explain some of it.”
    “ Only some?”
    “ The less you know the better, but yes, I'll explain what you need to know.”
    “ So what are the conditions?”
    “ Dan... Dante will implant some post-hypnotic suggestions that will stop you speaking about what you learn to anyone but me.”
    “ So he's going to hypnotise me?”
    “ Not exactly but the result will be the same.”
    “ Brainwashing?”
    “ No, more like...” Frankie sighed in frustration. “I can't explain it properly until you agree to the terms.”
    Will looked from Frankie to Dante as he considered the vague terms. He didn't believe they could hypnotise him, and he had been curious about Frankie's secret for almost a year now, so finally he nodded.
    “ I agree.”
    Frankie released the breath she'd been holding, then took another deep one.
    “ Okay, Dante, tell him.”
    “ Vampires are real,” Dante said, smiling sweetly.
    Will looked from Dante to Frankie again. He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated for a few moments.
    “ Vampires?”
    “ Yes,” Frankie answered.
    “ O-kay. Um... I don't know what to do with that.”
    “ Do you believe us?” she asked.
    “ I'm not sure,” he answered honestly.
    “ Then allow me to prove it,” Dante said, sitting forward.

Chapter Four
    Dante opened his mouth just enough for Will to see his fangs extend.
    Will leaned back warily. “How did you do that? They're fake, aren't they, some kind of fancy dress thing?”
    “ No, Will, they aren't fake. A vampire's fangs extend when he needs them,” Frankie explained.
    “ How do I know they aren't fake?” Will asked.
    Frankie shook her head as she realised there was only one way to prove it. She moved onto the sofa Dante was sitting on and swept her hair over one shoulder, then she opened the top few buttons of her shirt and took her scarf off. She saw Will's eyes widen as he noticed the bruise that was forming on her throat, courtesy of Bloody Mackenzie's ghost. Her back was to Dante and she kept eye contact with Will as she tilted her head to one side, offering Dante her neck.
    “ Are you sure?” Dante asked. She had never offered him her blood before.
    “ Yes,” Frankie assured him.
    Never one to turn down a warm meal, Dante didn't need to be told twice. He moved behind her, took hold of her shoulders and repositioned her slightly, then began kissing and licking her neck.
    Frankie continued to look at Will as Dante focused his attention on her neck.
    “ Their saliva turns pain into pleasure,” she explained, trying to keep her voice even as her neck became even more sensitive. “And promotes fast healing.”
    Frankie gasped as Dante's teeth grazed her neck and sent shivers down her spine. She closed her eyes as she began to feel embarrassed under Will's gaze.
    Suddenly Dante stopped teasing the area, leaned his head back so Will could clearly see his fangs, then bit down hard.
    Frankie clenched her fists but couldn't stop the cry of pleasure that escaped her lips. She wanted to see Will's expression, but she was too afraid of seeing revulsion there to open her eyes. Her fingernails began to bite into her palms as she tried not to get too turned on by Dante's actions. Still, it had been six months since she'd done anything intimate with a man, and her body clearly felt that it was overdue.
    Thankfully Dante made it quick. He licked the wound only to remove the excess blood, so that when he stopped and she raised her hand to her neck, she could still feel the slight puncture wounds that he had left, though they were healing quickly.
    Dante took his hands from her shoulders and kissed her neck saying, “Thank you.”
    Finally Frankie had no choice but to open her eyes. Will sat in stunned silence, looking revolted and slightly queasy.
    “ Will?” she asked softly.
    His jaw was clenched in anger and he wouldn't look at her.
    “ This is crazy,” he said. “Insane.”
    “ It's
