be flashes to hold up my hose.”
    “Is that a knife?” She leaned over for a closer look at Connor’s socks.
    Roman suppressed a growl. Next she’d be telling Connor his hairy knees were cute. “Connor, take our guest to the kitchen. She may be hungry.”
    “Aye, sir.”
    “And have your men conduct a full surveillance sweep every half hour.”
    “Aye, sir.” Connor motioned to the back of the entry hall. “This way, miss.”
    “Go with him, Shanna. I’ll come for you shortly.”
    “Aye, aye, sir.” She gave him an annoyed look, then followed Connor to the kitchen, mumbling, “I should have shot him.”
    Gregori whistled low as the kitchen door swung shut. “Sweet. Your dentist is one feisty little babe.”
    “Gregori—” Roman gave him a stern look that was ignored.
    He adjusted his silk tie. “Yeah, I think I need a check-up. I’ve got a cavity that needs to be filled.”
    “Enough!” Roman growled. “You will leave her alone. Understand?”
    “Yeah, we know. We saw you drooling on her outside.” Gregori strolled toward Roman, his eyes twinkling. “So, you got the hots for a mortal, huh? What happened to the ‘never again’ speech?”
    Roman lifted an eyebrow.
    Gregori grinned. “You know, I could tell she really likes those guy skirts. Maybe Connor could loan you one of his.”
    “They’re called kilts,” Laszlo said as he fiddled with a button.
    “Whatever.” Gregori looked Roman over. “So, how sexy are your legs?”
    Roman gave him a warning look. “Why are you here, Gregori? I thought you were going out with Simone.”
    “Oh, I did. I took her to this new club over by Times Square, but then she got mad cause nobody recognized her.”
    “Why should they?”
    “She’s a famous model, bro! She was on last month’s cover of Cosmo. Don’t you keep up? Anyway, she was so pissed off, she threw a table across the dance floor.”
    Roman groaned. Becoming a vampire could vastly increase one’s strength and enhance the five senses, but unfortunately, it did nothing to improve one’s intelligence.
    “I thought it might look suspicious for someone that skinny to be so strong,” Gregori continued, “so I took care of it. I erased everybody’s memories and brought her back here. She’s with your harem now, getting sympathy and a pedicure.”
    “I would prefer that you not call them my harem.” Roman glanced toward the closed parlor doors. “Are they in there?”
    “Yeah.” Gregori looked amused. “I told them to stay put and be quiet, but who knows if they’ll behave?”
    Roman sighed. “I don’t have time to deal with them. Call your mother and see if she’ll keep an eye on them.”
    Gregori snorted. “She’ll love that.” He pulled a cell phone from his pocket and stepped away to make the call.
    “Laszlo?”
    The short chemist jumped. “Yes, sir?”
    “Would you go to the kitchen and ask Shanna what she’ll need for the… uh, procedure?”
    Laszlo looked confused for a second, then his expression cleared. “Oh, right! The procedure.”
    “And tell Connor to come out here for a second.”
    “Yes, sir.” Laszlo scurried to the kitchen.
    “Mom’s on her way.” Gregori slipped the phone back into his pocket. “So the dentist hasn’t implanted your tooth yet?”
    “No. We ran into a problem. Ivan Petrovsky. It appears the young dentist is on his latest hit list.”
    “You’re kidding! What did she do?”
    “I don’t know exactly.” Roman glanced toward the kitchen. “But I mean to find out.”
    The kitchen door swung as Connor strode into the foyer. He met them at the base of the stairs. “Can ye tell me why I just made a turkey sandwich for a dentist?”
    Roman sighed. He’d have to let his head of security in on the situation. “Earlier tonight, I lost a tooth while conducting an experiment.” He removed the bloody hanky from his jeans pocket and displayed the contents.
    “Ye lost yer fang? Holy Christ Almighty,” Connor whispered. “I’ve
