Except for Miss Mammary back there in the saloon, of course.
Which brings me back to Donaldson.I could summon him with a vamp signal. But
would he alone catch it, or would the other vampires pick up on it, too? I
don't want to be distracted or attacked by a mob. I just want Donaldson.
So I hunker down behind the saloon and wait. The desert air has turned cool,
but the sand beneath my feet retains the warmth of the day. I send out
tentative probes to see how he's doing with the girl in the bar. All I get in
response is that same, lascivious carnal longing now fueled to greater heights
by alcohol. He's hanging out with the other vampires and they're placing bets
about who will bed her tonight. If she has a choice in the matter, it doesn't
come up.
After an hour of this, my patience is at an end. Donaldson shows no sign of
making his move so I make mine. I let myself into Donaldson's head, at first

just a gentle prod to let him know someone is reaching out to him.
He responds immediately.I knew there was someone there. Who are you?
I wish I could see his face, read his reaction. But I can't so there's no
choice but to continue.
Come outside and see.
A snort.I don't think so. You come inside.
I don't like crowds. Our business is private.
What business?
You'll find out when we meet.
What's in it for me?
What do you want?
There's a pause while he considers his answer. I use the time to regroup.
It's hard work to keep all traces of my identity out of our conversation. When
he sees me for the first time, I want it to be a surprise. How he reacts will
tell me a lot.
What do you look like?
What?
What do you look like? I want to know if what you have to offer is worth
giving up what I have going in here.
Jesus.Typical male.Thinks with his dick. Maybe I can use it to my advantage.
I put a purr in my voice.You didn't have any complaints the last time we were
together.
In spite of the alcohol, I sense his interest levelspike.So, we've met
before?
That's one way of putting it.Yes.
There's a grin in his voice.Where did you say you were?
Right outside.In back.
I'll be right there.
He closes his mind, which puts me at a disadvantage. I'm assuming he's doing
it so his friends won't pick up on his plans, but since it shuts me out, too,
I don't like it.
I take out theTaser again and hold it at the ready. There doesn't seem to be
a back door, which means Donaldson will be coming either from the right or the
left around the building. There's no cover, either, and Donaldson's night
vision will allow him to see me at the same moment I see him. Maybe I should
have arranged the meeting back at the tunnel.
Too late to change plans now.

The saloon doors creak open. I crouch down, waiting for the sound of
footsteps to tell me which direction he's coming from.
One minute passes, then two.
There are no footsteps.
What's he doing? Has he changed his mind? Is he standing on the steps smoking
a frigging cigar while he decides whether or not to meet me? Should I ask him?
No need, Anna. I'm right here.
The voice is soclose, it reverberates in my head like a scream. I've been so
concentrated on the front, his appearance from behind comes completely without
warning.
Just like before.
But this time, I don't drop theTaser and I don't let his sudden presence put
me off guard. I straighten and turn to face him.
So you recognize me.
He smiles, a complacent, tight-lipped littlesmile.Oh, yes.
Then you know why I'm here.
Is it because you enjoyed my technique so much the first time that you've
come back for an encore? Ohwait, no need. You took what you wanted from me.
You know, I'm the one who should feel violated. I just wanted a simple roll in
the hay. Look what you turned it into.
I'm shaking with fury. The urge to kill him is so strong that it's only the
image of David in my head keeping me from attacking him.
Forcefully, I calm myself, motioning at him with theTaser .Let's take a walk.
But he doesn't seem the least bit concerned by theTaser or by my thoughts.Why
would I want to take a walk with you?
Because if you don't, I'm going to blast you with this thing and drag you
into the bushes where I'll happily bash your head in with a rock. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
