called trash removal?”
    “Ha-ha. What can I say? I like to keep things.”
    “I can see that.”
    “The place is messy, but I have the best view.”
    Demetrius snorted. “You have the same view as the rest of us. Woods.”
    “Not true.” Gregory walked out onto his enclosed balcony and Paige followed. “I can see Pine Lake from here.”
    It was true. A narrow twisting path through the treetops afforded a view of one of the lakes. The water sparked like diamonds in the bright May sunshine. “It’s so pretty,” said Paige.
    Gregory touched her hair. It was just a soft touch, but it sent a jolt through her entire body. Her pussy contracted in tiny spasms, and her nipples tingled. What would it be like to make love to him if a mere touch could produce such an effect?
    “Yes, it is.” His voice was low and sexy, and Paige knew he wasn’t talking about the view.
    “Lunch is on the way.” Demetrius stepped out onto the balcony. “I’m sure Paige could use some food.”
    She smiled at the trace of jealousy in his voice. This was proving to be a very interesting day. “Thank you, Demetrius. I am hungry. It must be wonderful not to have to worry about that.”
    His expression turned thoughtful. “There are days when all this immortality wears thin.”
    “Speak for yourself,” said Gregory, placing an arm around Paige’s waist. “I’m enjoying the heck out of it.”
    Demetrius shot him a droll look. “That’s because you’re a selfish prick.”
    “Tsk, tsk. Language, Demetrius. There’s a lady present.” He winked at Paige.
    “Okay. That’s because you’re a selfish slob. Better?”
    Paige laughed, more at the look of incredulity on Gregory’s face than Demetrius’s subtle change in wording. “Have you two always fought like this?”
    “Gregory fights with everyone,” said Demetrius.
    “I don’t fight. I engage in heated exchanges of wit.”
    Demetrius laughed and shook his head. “Knock it off. You’ll turn Paige’s stomach and ruin her lunch.”
    Paige couldn’t tell if they were teasing each other or really had that much animosity buried beneath the surface. She tried to imagine what it would be like to run a resort for over ninety years with the same people, but couldn’t. Then she remembered Demetrius telling her four of the original twelve were dead. “Do you miss the others? The ones who’ve died? I mean, you started this resort with them, and it sounds like you all went through a lot together beforehand. It must have been difficult to watch them grow old and die.”
    Demetrius regarded her with thoughtful expression. “Sometimes I wonder if we’ll see them again. Hugh and I were close. I miss him the most.”
    “Remind me again when he became mortal.”
    Gregory took his arm from around her waist. “Want to see pictures of them?”
    “I’d love to.”
    She followed the men back into the sitting room and waited while Gregory cleared a space for them on the sofa. Then he walked over to the bookcase and pulled a bound leather scrapbook from underneath a pile of papers.
    “Caleigh Kensington chose Hugh and Sterling in 1943,” said Demetrius. “We hired her during the war as a nightclub singer.”
    “Oh. Now what Gregory told me at the dance makes sense.”
    He brought the book over and turned the pages, stopping at one near the middle. After he placed the book in her lap, he pointed toward a group of photos. “This is Caleigh with Hugh and Sterling shortly before she decided to stay here. These were taken after one of her performances.”
    Paige liked the look in Caleigh’s eyes. It was a combination of intelligence and moxy. Hugh and Sterling each had an arm thrown across her shoulder, and it was obvious from the looks on their faces and their body language that they were crazy about her.
    “There are more, and if you go back to the beginning I have some of Blair with Leo and Andras as well.”
    “She was hiding from the mob boss I told you about,” said
