СКАЧАТЬ This is New York City, lady, and in case you didn’t notice, I’ve got the gun and the badge.” For good measure, he drew aside the edge of his jacket to reveal the silver and gold badge clipped to his belt.

      She surprised him by laughing, a sexy husky sound that pulled at his gut, confusing him. His confusion only increased with her next words.

      “This may be New York, but that gun and badge won’t help you against vampires. Especially ones like him.” She motioned to the body on the ground. “Or the ones up the block in the Blood Bank.”

      Certifiable, he thought, because now that he had time to think, he knew the demon on the ground had to be a man in costume. Vampires were not real and a stake to the chest would kill most anybody. But then the body on the ground did a funny little twitch and began to shrivel up before his eyes.

      Following his gaze, she peered over her shoulder. With a shrug she said, “The older they are the faster they dry up. Harder to kill, though. Age makes them stronger.”

      He shook his head and, for the barest of seconds, closed his eyes to refocus, blaming what he had seen on the lack of light. But when he returned his gaze to the body, it was still slowly disappearing, sublimating like dry ice, and the stake remained buried deep in the middle of its chest.

      When he looked back at the woman, he realized she had walked right up to him. The barrel of his gun was barely an inch from her face. Her very young and attractive face.

      After she finished perusing him, she wrinkled her nose and said, “You don’t strike me as the type to believe in anything that doesn’t go by the book.”

      She was right, which frustrated him; despite his better judgment, her power and self-assurance called to him.

      As their gazes met, he detected loneliness in her.

      The same emotion that lived in him, thanks to the demands of his job.

      Fascinated, he said, “So make me believe.”

      She smiled and motioned to the entrance of the alley behind him.

      “Follow me.”

      Chapter 3

      Michaela watched the bewilderment on his face fade and be replaced by something…

      Dangerous, she thought, sensing his attraction to her, sensing the want in him that could make him risky. Somehow that wasn’t enough to deter her from fulfilling his challenge. She would make him believe.
