girl cannot compete with me. That being said, how do you want me to bring her down when every time I turn around, I have Glory, Cornelia or Falada on my back ? Crystal is too thoroughly surrounded and too… unpredictable. It’s that human side ; it’s disturbing.”
    “That’s all that you can think of to say to me ? I’m plotting day and night to give you access to the little brat and you are thinking about it ?”
    “No,” hissed Dimitri, his wicked expression flaring. “I have listened to your blah-blah about her budding powers, I have thought a lot about the current situation and about pretty Crystal. And I’ve found a way to trap her. For her, I’ve removed the magic barriers which prevent the Damned from locating me. She’ll eventually realize that and come to me. She will finally be isolated and on my home turf. I’ll destroy her.”
    Beyond the mirror the woman was unable to contain a gesture of horror and astonishment.
    “You’re crazy. The girl will lead the others to you.”
    “Certainly not,” the Prince wagered. “Crystal will confront me alone. Of that, I’m sure.”
     
    It was with a certain amount of relief that Dimitri ended the conversation. The magic mirror returned to its normal appearance and he finally felt calm. He detested being held to account and in spite of their bond, the woman in the mirror was beginning to put a strain on him. He could not bear having anyone question his actions. A real worry, in this case. Sooner or later he would have to figure something out but what ? It was….
    The banging of one of the French windows dragged him away from his thoughts.
    Crystal.
    She was there. As he had foreseen.
    Dimitri suppressed a smile. She was not wearing the regulation combat uniform, but rather a white dress that delineated her delicate, sensual figure. In front of the French window, she gestured with her chin and her full lips glistened.
    “Good evening, Prince. I came to tell you that your reign of terror is drawing to a close.”
    “I’ve been waiting for you, darling. But if I had known that you would come so quickly, I would have dressed for the occasion.”
    Thrown off balance, Crystal gazed at him. Two times she had seen him, two times that she remembered all too well, but never had she really looked at him. For an instant her blue eyes clouded. The Prince of the Underworld was handsome.Spectacularly handsome for such a vile being. A square face of a lion, with chiseled cheekbones and a strong jaw, his lips firm and cruel, a straight nose, eyes green with profound depths. And his body : perfect, virile, muscled, large, and lean. The Russian male in all its splendor. The young woman swallowed. Her worst enemy was diabolically good-looking. This discovery did nothing but increase her hatred of him.
    She shook herself, making her long golden hair dance. Her hand opened, and from a distance she made the statue beside Dimitri explode. The bits of marble fell on the ground with a crash. Unperturbed, the Prince did not move a muscle.
    “That’s good, kitten,” he encouraged her, his voice dripping with sex. “You’ve decided to be a naughty girl today. Does your Daddy like that ? Does he ask you to be bad so he can give you a spanking ?”
    Crystal gave a start. A shiver ran down her backbone. How could he suggest such horrors ? How could he even imagine them ? For a quarter of a second she had the desire to turn back. What was she doing there ? Lost at the other end of the planet in the lair of this hideous, unwholesome beast. What had gotten into her, that she had sought out such a confrontation ?
    “Now what, lamb ? Are you backing down already ? But you were doing so well ! Don’t be shy, show me what Daddy has taught you. Come play with me.” Dimitri provoked her, his lips parted in a vicious, predatory expression.
    A bitter taste rose in Crystal’s throat. A brutal awakening after a nightmare without end. She clenched her teeth.
    “You want to
