his. We could have been anywhere and I would have still felt that same satisfied warmth in the pit of my stomach when he pulled me close. I smiled up at him and hooked my fingers into the back pocket of his jeans.
    Suddenly, I felt his back stiffen.
    “Watch out for this one,” he whispered to me. “She isn’t one of the nice ones.”
    The woman who was approaching us was undeniably beautiful but totally repulsive at the same time. There was something reptilian in her movements. She was tall with pale skin, almond shaped eyes, and dark hair that reached her waist. She wore a short red dress with a Mandarin collar and black stiletto boots that seemed to crawl up her thighs.
    “Noah, you brought us a pretty little snack.” Her voice was smoky and rich. She reached out and scraped a red lacquered nail down the side of my cheek. I tried not to flinch. Noah leaned closer to me, noticeably staking claim.
    “Get your hands off of him, Lin. He’s not available. For anything.”
    “I know Mommy taught you that it was rude not to share your toys.”
    Noah was outwardly calm but I could tell he was seething. “Zack’s not a toy and he’s with me. I’m serious. Back away.”
    She raised her eyebrows and gave him an imperious little smile. Apparently Noah’s possessiveness was amusing to her. Either that or she wasn’t in the mood to play with us. I could tell he was right about her. Total viper. I let out a sigh of relief as she walked away.
    “Let’s get this over with so we can get you out of here,” he growled. “I’m tired of watching vampires check my boyfriend out. I think there’s actually a line forming to see who gets to take the first bite.”
    “Me?”
    “Yeah, you. Did you get a good look at yourself tonight? You’re sexy as hell. Plus you’re with me and they all know how solitary I usually am. Even if you weren’t such fang bait that would be enough to spark curiosity.”
    I giggled out loud and tried to cover it so I wouldn’t look like a total newbie. “Fang bait? Please tell me you just made that up.”
    “Can you really see me making that up? It’s dumb but I’ve heard it a lot in here. Another way of saying fresh meat, I guess. Someone new who literally looks good enough to eat.”
    I surprised myself by giving him a long, slow, hot kiss—in a public place with a very curious audience.
    “You’re the only one who will get to do that,” I murmured, sliding my whole body up against him and rolling my hips until I heard his breath catch. “Why don’t we get you some dinner so we can go home and have dessert?”
    Noah shuddered against me then nodded quickly.
    He scanned the club, looking for someone appealing, or maybe a familiar face. I could see when he spotted someone he knew. I had to admit the guy was hot. Preppy clean cut frat boy type. He was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a polo, no dark clothes, no brooding looks. The last kind of guy I would’ve ever expected to see in a vampire bar.
    “Hey, Noah,” the guy slurred. He smiled slowly and walked closer.
    Even from a few feet away I could tell he had a number of fresh little bite marks on his neck. I could also tell from the way he was looking at Noah that they hadn’t exactly been on casual terms. It made me want to growl and snap at him.
    Wow, maybe the vamp thing was more contagious than they thought....
    “Hey, Brian. Looks like you’ve had a few bites already tonight. You mind?”
    “Nah. Those were just appetizers. I waited cause I was hoping you’d come.”
    Noah must have sensed my hackles rising. “Brian, this is my boyfriend, Zack. He’s never been here before.”
    Brian was friendly and shook my hand, but I could sense his disappointment.
    “Do you still want to?” He pulled the collar of his polo down.
    Noah nodded silently and kissed the palm of my hand before moving over to Brian.
    I tried not to feel territorial but it was hard. Especially when I saw Noah run his thumb gently over the other guy’s bite
