doesn’t—that he can’t have family?”
    “Not at all.” He lifted one dark auburn brow. “I never asked, and he never offered.
     Most of the time we focus on in-the-moment issues. What he’s done to drive me crazy
     this time, or why he left dirty dishes in the sink, that sort of thing.”
    Oh. He was looking at her so strangely. What else had Saint told him in that text
     message? “Well, life is full of surprises. I didn’t know you owned a pair of jeans
     and a T-shirt. Or that you could sing.” Or that you’d smell so good I’d want to beg you to fuck me.
    “I’m adapting to life on the run,” he responded with a quirk on his lush, beautiful
     lips for an instant before his grim expression returned. He moved closer to her, towering
     over her and making her tremble. “And you can sing as well. I suppose you’re the siren’s
     call that sailors are warned about. Tell me when the rest of The Devil’s Garden is
     arriving, hunter. How do you mean to bring me in and who are you supposed to report
     to?”
    The Devil’s Garden. It was what the vampires had long ago taken to calling her and
     her sisters: Magnolia, Pansy, Daisy, Gardenia, Ivy and Rose. Saint must have told
     him, knowing Mac would recognize the name. There weren’t many of his kind that hadn’t
     heard stories about them.
    Damn it, Saint.   She wanted to kiss him, and her cousin had practically put up a “no trespassing”
     sign by mentioning her sisters. Rose supposed there was no harm in telling him the
     truth. To a point. Just to ease his mind. “We’ve spread out to search for you since
     you dropped off the grid. New York, Florida, Scotland… I don’t have to check in with
     them again until the day after tomorrow unless I get a lead. Which they won’t expect
     because I never do.”
    His fingers reached up to trace the roped necklace that rested against her skin. “Never?
     And you didn’t call them before you started arousing my audience and distracting me with all that sexual energy?
     Interesting. Bored, demon? Or just hungry? If the latter, I’ve heard of a nearby diner
     filled with cruel and thoughtless people ready for you to seduce. Leave this group
     alone and go entice them with your particular charms.”
    She was hungry, but he was the only meal she required. Rose lifted her hands to place
     them on his chest, her thighs tightening at the hardness of him. The strength beneath
     her hands. She scraped her nails across his nipples and down to his stomach without
     taking her eyes off of him.
    His gaze narrowed, his thick lashes concealing those crystalline gems. “Is this how
     you hunt, demon Rose? Are you the siren and the bait—with your short skirt, perfect
     curves and dark, innocent eyes—meant to distract me until they can spring the trap?”
    “We know I’m not innocent, but am I really a distraction, vampire?” she whispered,
     leaning forward until her breath grazed his lips. “That kind of thing is usually Magnolia’s
     job. She’s had men like you tied up and on their knees…and they were smiling when
     they were finally taken away.” She chuckled softly. “I’m not bait, I’m just the scout
     who wasn’t expecting our target to be so damn sexy.”
    Mac growled and lifted Rose into the air and pressed her against the wall with his
     large, chiseled body. “You underestimate your skills.”
    “No I don’t. Sadly, everyone else does.”
    When his lips covered hers, Rose melted against him. Yes . Rough and wild, as though he couldn’t restrain his desire. As though he would take
     her right here, right now, against the wall.
    She wrapped her legs around his waist and rocked her hips against his. It wasn’t enough.
     Without lifting her lips from his she reached out blindly for his hand, tugging it
     down between their bodies and under her skirt, showing him what she wanted.
    He moaned, pressing his forehead against hers as he tugged the fragile fabric of her
     underwear aside and
