a goody two shoes?” Roland asked.
“She couldn’t have been. Otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten the Seduction’s Kiss.” Hugh as usual thought he knew everything.
“I was usually good. Not always, but usually, and you all know the story of how I got the paste.” I turned around to glare at him.
“I still don’t think it would have worked on a good girl.” Hugh winked. He winked entirely too much.
“You just want me to be bad.” I crossed my arms.
“Not bad, naughty.” Hugh grinned.
“Hugh.” Violet groaned. “You know I hate that word.”
“Why? I don’t see what could be so offensive about it?”
“I don’t like it.” Violet spoke as though that were the only explanation needed.
“Whatever you say.” Hugh leaned back against the seat.
“We need gas.” Violet pointed to the gas gauge.
“The light is on. We definitely do.” I hadn’t checked because I wasn’t the one driving. I made a mental note to check more often.
Violet got into the right lane and took the next exit. I got out of the car to stretch while Violet pumped the gas. The guys went inside to do something. They didn’t actually tell us where they were going when they left. A light breeze made the otherwise humid heat tolerable as I waited.
“Do you know that guy?” Violet nodded over her shoulder.
I followed her gaze and saw a guy around my age leaning against his black Camaro. He was wearing a leather jacket, which seemed like serious overkill for the warm weather, and a pair of dark sunglasses. “I don’t think so, why?”
She leaned toward me. “He’s watching you.”
“Who doesn’t watch us?” Ever since getting Seduction’s Kiss I’d had to deal with that. It was even worse now. “And with those glasses on how can you tell?”
“I can tell, and it’s in a familiar way.” She stretched, and I could tell she was trying to get a better look at him without making it obvious.
I looked at the guy again, searching for something about him that would trigger a memory. Nothing. “I’ve never seen him before in my life.”
“Ok, well maybe get in the car then anyway. Just to be safe.”
“How can you be worried?” Yet another Allure thing I didn’t get. Why were some emotions present but others weren’t?
“What do you mean?”
“Worry is an emotion.”
“It’s part of self-preservation. You can’t get rid of that even when you’re immortal.” The gas pump thumped, signifying the tank was full.
“You’re lying.”
“No.” She removed the gas nozzle and put the gas cap back on. “I’m not.”
“Fine. I’ll rephrase it. You’re holding something back from me.”
She opened her car door and slid into the driver’s seat. I took the hint, taking the passenger seat again. I glanced over my shoulder. The guy who had gotten her attention had walked away from his car.
“Tell me.”
“I’m not hiding anything. It’s natural self-preservation. Those sorts of emotions can’t disappear.”
“I don’t see the point in you lying to me.” I got it when I was human, but now there was no reason for her to be trying to convince me of anything.
“I already told you—”
Violet was interrupted as the guys dove into the car. “Get out of here.” Hugh spoke calmly, which was at odds with his words.
“We have company?” Violet started the car and pulled out of the lot.
“Yes. And I am pretty sure I know what kind.” Hugh looked over his shoulder.
“Meaning what?” I turned in my seat to look at him.
“Meaning we can sense other supernatural creatures. It comes easily. I couldn’t sense this one completely, but I think I know what he is, and it’s not good.”
“Was it the guy with black hair and nearly as dark eyes?” Violet asked describing the guy in the Camaro.
“Yes.” Hugh nodded. “You saw him?”
“I felt something off, but I thought he recognized Daisy.”
“He’s following us.” Roland kept looking out the back window.
“What’s the plan? We
