    “Come to me, Melody.”
    Longing jerked at her chest. Was it his status as a master, or something more? Just looking at him made her legs shake from need. “You can’t be serious. You think I’m just going to jump in your car…and what?”
    A slight smile came to his face. “And be mine.”
    “Yours?” She burst out laughing. “Yeah, right. You’re funny. I don’t think so, buddy, but nice try.”
    He leaned against the car and she took in his white, sleeveless shirt. Odd sy mbols weaved down to his elbows on both of his muscular arms. The delicate lines of tribal tattoos outlining them were beautiful. She wasn’t sure if it was Samoan or Celtic. Whatever it was, it held her attention for longer than she should have let it. Melody was ripped right into his body. He winced as smoke poured from his hand.
    “You belong to me, Melody. We can keep playing this game for as long as you want, but know that I’m not a very patient man. I want you. Under my body. In my bed when I wake up.” Fingers wrapped in her hair and his lips hovered above hers. “Come with me.”
    She moaned even though she hadn’t meant to . As she tried to move away, she felt his grip tighten against her head. The action only made her body react even more in his favor. “I can’t.” His eyes pulled her in again. The deeper she looked she could feel herself being sucked into a place she never knew existed. Time stopped completely until all she could see was Vex.
    “Hey!”
    A priest came from the building. The master before her looked up and narrowed his eyes. “I have to go. Tonight, I will see you again.” Soft lips pressed into hers and Melody’s fists gripped into his shirt tightly. It was that, or else she was going to throw her arms around him, and that went against everything she stood for. She could not get involved with this master. He was evil, and represented everything she meant to put a stop to. Hadn’t her father been the same way?
    Melody pushed back, and he let her go. “Oh yes, we’ll see each other tonight, but not for the reasons you think. Watch your back. I’m pretty sure I have a bullet with your name on it....”
    She suddenly realized she didn’t know his name.
    “Vex,” he laughed. “And we’ll see about that. You see,” he grabbed the backpack from her shoulders and held it up in front of her. Flames erupted in his grasp and as the material fell to the ground, they disappeared right before her. “It’s hard to kill anything without a gun or bullets, isn’t it? If you think I’ll be an easy target, you’re mistaken. I cannot let you go around killing me, or my demons. I won’t.”
    Words wouldn’t come as she stared at where her backpack had been in his hands. “Everything I owned was in there, you jerk!” Melody fought the urge to attack him and took a few steps back so he couldn’t reach her again. The priest was almost to them, and she could sense Vex’s annoyance.
    “Well, by all means, come with me and you shall never want for anything ever again. I know you feel our connection, Melody. Trust in it.”
    Again, she took a few steps back. “I’ll never trust evil. Ever.”
    He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. “I don’t understand. Why this charade of fighting who you are? You have demon blood within you. I can smell it. I feel it calling to me. Yet you go around killing the men you’re connected to. Why?”
    All the anger she felt for her father made her start shaking. “You don’t worry about that. Just trust me when I say that I will never stop taking out as many of you fuckers as I can. You all have no right to be here. All you know how to do is tempt, seduce, and ruin people’s lives. I will kill every last one of you until I die.”
    Vex’s gaze peered behind her and she knew the priest was there .  “See you, tonight, Melody.” He climbed in and the Maserati took off. She felt herself collapse to the ground. What in the hell had she gotten herself into?
