smiled when he saw her grimace at his words.
    "Allure
isn’t my last name." Ashleigh glanced over at Natalie and then back at the
man. He was eyeing her curiously, and the devilish grin on his face was making
her very nervous. He had a perfect smile, none of his teeth were even the
slightest bit crooked.
    "Spencer
says you’re a fan of Armageddon."
    "Yeah."
    Natalie
was frowning, and her mouth formed the words, “ Is that him?” as her finger pointed toward the man.
    "A
very big fan actually."
    "Then
I’m glad I invited them here."
    Ashleigh
made eye contact with the man. "You invited them here…for me?"
    "Yes."
Watching his face move as he spoke, Ashleigh could see his very defined jaw and
masculine features. He was a big man, his neck thick and his body towering over
hers. "My name is Robert." He held his hand out, his smile not
faltering, even though he saw her fear in wanting to take in hers.
    "Ashleigh."
She took his hand, shaking it quickly.
    "It’s
an honor to meet you, Miss Brown." He dropped her hand and motioned for
her to walk with him. "Many have tried to find you lately, but I am the
first to succeed."
    She
looked over at Spencer, who was talking to Natalie. There was a sad look in his
eyes, but Ashleigh didn’t have time to linger on it because Robert spoke again.
    "Do
not let your view of us be based on the behavior of the hunters. Spencer is not
the shining example we would have represent our kind." He put his hands on
her shoulders, leading her through the crowd toward the DJ booth. His lips
lingered near her ear, and though the music was extremely loud, she could hear
everything he said.
    "Right
now, I am hungry and may be a little more irritable than usual, so please
pardon my rudeness." He squeezed her shoulders as his lips kissed the
surface of her neck. "If I remain this close to you, I fear I may harm you,
so please…" He looked toward Armageddon, Caleb bent over slightly as he
belted out a perfect song, his hair still wet and full of sweat from performing
at his concert.
    "Enjoy
the floor show while I take care of this need." He pushed her forward, so
that she was now standing in the front row of people watching the band members
singing karaoke. "A word of caution, a well fed vampire will be very
active and aggressive, so bear with this behavior, because once the high is
over, we settle down."
    He
pointed to a closed door. A large man was standing near it and not letting
anyone in. "If you wish for a drink, you can get one there. A woman of
your caliber should not have to wait with these commoners. I will be back
shortly, so enjoy yourself until then."
    Ashleigh
turned around and watched him walk away, his large body intimidating to those
around them, making them move before he had the chance to push them aside. This
man was very polite and regal in nature, a lot like the vampires in her novels.
He had a great mystery to him, and Ashleigh thought he’d make a great
character. A villain perhaps? No, Robert doesn’t
seem like the villain type.
    Ashleigh
grinned at the thought. She turned back to the action but was feeling a little
lonely watching Caleb and Kris, Armageddon’s drummer, perform for the audience.
She missed Natalie and had no one to whisper too or to hear her giggles while
they both drooled over Caleb.
    Caleb
smashed his beer bottle against the speaker before climbing on top and
balancing himself on it as he rocked it from side to side. He was saying
something, but it couldn't be made out, his hand raised in the air as he
laughed. The guys were quite rough, and one could tell they had been drinking
heavily. Kris was sitting on a nearby sub, singing a song to the crowd and
winking to the women near him.
    Ashleigh
laughed at what they were doing, her hands covering her lips, her fingernails
now painted a bright red to match her dress. She stood on her tiptoes as she
tried to find Natalie, but she couldn’t see over the heads of the crowd.
    The
throng of people pushed against her,
