“Why, when I can just seal your wounds with my saliva?” He stepped away and placed the cap back on the needle.

“I’m tired of you licking me.”

Rhen placed the needle in his pocket. “That’s something no female has ever said to me before.”

“Great, I get to be your first. You’ve gotten paid. You can leave now.”

“You sure you’re going to be okay with him?” He nodded to the shifter on her couch.

“I got this.”

“No killing.”

“I’m not going to kill him. When I’m done, he won’t even remember he met me tonight.”

“Damn, you’re a bad...”

“If you say, bitch, I will hurt you.”

“I was going to say, witch.”

“Don’t play.”

“I’m serious, witch.”

“Okay. Your crew is waiting.”

He slowly began making his way over to the door. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“No, you won’t.”

“The next day then.”

“Nope.”

“You should get out more.”

“No thanks.”

“How do you plan to return him to his home when you’re done with him.”

“I don’t. I plan to take him back to the train station. That’s not far from here. And I’ll encounter fewer creatures that way.”

“Good idea. I’ll see you at the train station in three days.”

“Bye, Rhen.”

“Bye, love.”

Shaking her head, she watched him open her door and leave, shutting the door behind him. Sin walked over to the door and waved her hand over the lock. It clicked and the windows vibrated gently as the house went into lockdown.

Only she would be able to enter or exit the home now. Sin looked out the window, watching, waiting for Rhen to exit her gates so she could activate the protective wards. When he reached the gate, he looked back and bowed.

She smiled. If he wasn’t a man-whore and a vampire, she’d give him a chance. Once he was off her property, she whispered the spell that would activate the wards. They had enough energy to last a couple of days. Hopefully.

She wouldn’t chance it. Tomorrow, she’d take a few drops of her blood, sweat, and tears and concoct a new potion to strengthen the wards once more. The sound of the snowmobiles roaring to life was music to her ears.

With Rhen gone, she was able to relax a little. As much as she could with an unconscious shifter asleep on her couch. She’d rather deal with a shifter than a vampire. Shifters were easier to manage. Sin faced her captive, her would-be kidnapper. He belonged to her now. She couldn’t help but smile.
