Real Vampires Have Curves Read Online Free PDF

you’re tired. Frederick, show Gloriana to her room and help her settle in.”
    â€œThank you for having me, CiCi. I hope to be more entertaining tomorrow night.” CiCi just smiled and waved me out of the room. Valdez was hot on my heels. I could already see that I was crowding them in this house. With CiCi’s large collection of furniture and knickknacks and three people already living here, there wasn’t much space for me and my dog. I would have to make other arrangements as soon as possible.
    Freddy picked up my bag again and gestured toward the stairs. “I’ve got it all fixed up for you. No trouble at all. You will stay with us. It’s too dangerous for you to be on your own.”
    â€œDon’t read my mind, it’s not polite.” I huffed up the stairs in his wake. “I’d rather not waste my energy blocking you.”
    â€œAs if you could.” He stopped in front of an open door. It was a charming bedroom with a four poster bed done up with a pretty vintage quilt. Heavy curtains had been drawn across the two windows.
    â€œOkay, so I suck at some kinds of mental telepathy. I have other talents.”
    Freddy patted my hand. “Of course you do. Actress, dancer and soon to be shop owner. I think I’ve found the perfect location. We can go see it tomorrow night.” He turned as Valdez trotted into the room. “Good, your protector is here. Promise you’ll keep him with you whenever I’m not around.”
    â€œYou sound like my ex. Blade said he’d talked to you.”
    Freddy got a grim look. “Yes. He told me about MacTavish. This Westwood isn’t the only hunter out there, either. Two vampires were killed in Houston the same day Westwood attacked Blade in Lake Charles.”
    I shuddered. I knew my geography. Houston was only about three hours away from here by car. “But not in Austin?”
    â€œNo, not here. But we’re safer in groups, Glory. You can’t just depend on a damned dog to keep you safe.”
    â€œBack off, vampire. Blondie’s safe with me.” My damned dog had sniffed out the room, then jumped on the bed to settle on the foot.
    â€œAh, now you speak.” I walked over and tugged his ear. “Good job downstairs, with Sheba.”
    â€œYeah, I don’t know what came over me.” He looked around the room. “But if that cat tries to sleep with us, all bets are off.”
    Freddy laughed. “Don’t let Mother hear you say that. This is your guard dog?”
    â€œYes, he is. He really took care of me on the road. I even had to pay extra at one motel because Valdez scared the life out of a cleaning lady who tried to come in during the day.”
    â€œDamn straight. No one gets to Glory when she’s sleeping.”
    I smiled and patted Valdez’s head. “Of course I did sleep through what was apparently a ‘vicious attack’ according to the desk clerk. I had to take his word that the woman ran screaming across the courtyard and almost fell into the pool. I never heard a thing.” Yes, we really do sleep like the dead and thank God for Valdez.
    â€œYou just made my point, Glory.” Freddy ignored Valdez’s “woof.” “The mutt’s probably mortal. Westwood wouldn’t hesitate to shut up a barking dog.”
    â€œNot before I took a chunk outta him, ass—”
    â€œValdez!” I hugged Freddy again. “Don’t worry. I’m staying. At least for a while. Thank you.” I looked up at him. “Don’t be so hard on Derek. We’ve been where he is. It takes centuries to develop the kind of self-control it takes to give up hunting. He’s obviously not as old as we are.”
    â€œNo, he’s not. But he can be careless, Glory. He could endanger all of us.”
    I couldn’t argue with him when he was probably right. Freddy ran a hand through his thick black hair. CiCi couldn’t complain
