Demetrius.
    Paige flipped back to the beginning of the book and smiled at the candid shots of a curvy blonde woman with two men who were dressed like they’d stepped out of a gangster movie. They also looked blissfully happy to be in her presence. “What was her name again?”
    “Blair Lorring. The men with her are Leo and Andras.”
    As she listened to Demetrius’s voice and gazed at the photos, a strong feeling of envy washed over her. It surprised her because she had no reason to be jealous of these women. Surely their situations had been different than hers. She wasn’t hiding from a mob boss or working with the owners every day. She was only here for two weeks.
    What would it be like to be that much in love? So much so that you risked everything as these men had done for a chance at mortality? And the women must have risked a lot, too. They’d left behind lives, friends, and families at a time when shacking up with two men wasn’t exactly mainstream.
    Hadn’t they said Sofia and Abigail had been guests as well? How was it possible to fall in love with two men in only two weeks? Then again, if each of the owners were as sexy and charming as Gregory and Demetrius, she could almost understand how it had happened.
    A knock on the door interrupted her musings. Gregory rose to open it and a staff member wheeled in a trolley with several serving dishes on it. After he left, Paige rose from the sofa, grateful to have something to do other than look at photos of smiling women and love-struck men. She’d never been that much in love with Phil. She was certain of it. And she certainly hadn’t felt that way toward anyone else she’d been involved with.
    She hated thinking about Phil’s indifference toward her, but right now it was impossible not to. It had taken her two years to realize she was never going to get more out of the relationship than what little he’d given, and she’d felt foolish for hoping so long that things would change. Since breaking up with him, she hadn’t allowed herself to get that close to any man again. Once bitten and all that jazz.
    She had her work, and had thrown herself into it with almost manic abandon. But now, being here away from it for a while and enjoying the company of Demetrius and Gregory, she had to admit she was lonely—very lonely. Not just for sex, but simply for the company of males. Stasia and Kimber were great, and a girl needed her best friends, but it wasn’t the same as being intimately involved with a man. It never would be.
    Paige barely tasted her food. She watched Demetrius and Gregory pick at theirs and realized she was jumping to big conclusions here. This wasn’t a relationship in the making. She was a guest, and they were simply doing what they’d done for ninety-one years—seducing her. Just because every one of the other owners had chosen a mortal life didn’t mean these two wanted any part of that. And besides, she had a life and a job to return to. She wasn’t going to stay here. She wasn’t going to fall in love.
    Demetrius frowned. “Is the food all right?”
    “Oh, yes. It’s great.”
    “You look a million miles away,” said Gregory.
    She forced a smile. “I’m right here.”
    “Did looking at the photos upset you?”
    Shit. She wasn’t going to be able to pull anything over on these two. “Can you read minds? Seriously. I need to know the truth.”
    Gregory chuckled. “Not exactly. We can sense emotions, but we can’t read your thoughts word-for-word.”
    “It’s just weird to look at those pictures and imagine the others were like you two, but then poof—they became human. It’s like something out of a Disney movie.”
    Gregory tilted his head and the corners of his mouth turned up. “From what I’ve seen, you’re very attuned to supernatural beings. Are you having trouble believing our story?”
    “No, that’s not it. The experiences I’ve had in the past were so vague and watered down that I can’t help but realize I
