in your mind to know you’d like to have sex with her. And right now she’s looking at my hand on your knee. She’s fighting the jealousy, but she’s losing.” Sparkle grinned. “Yeah, I am rooting around in her head.”
    Conall closed his eyes and fought against the pictures trying to form behind his closed lids—placing his mouth on Gerry’s breasts, teasing her nipples with his tongue, spreading her legs and thrusting deep inside her. He shook his head to clear it and opened his eyes. “What’s your point, Sparkle?”
    She shrugged. “Sex is my thing. It’s powerful, provocative, perfect . So I see this really hot guy who’s going to be stuck with this woman for hundreds of years, and I say to myself, ‘Self, why wouldn’t this man get it on with this woman?’ It sure would make the centuries go past faster.”
    â€œShe’s a Kavanagh, Sparkle.” Jeez, he must have some kind of repetitive-message syndrome. Said and thought it all before. But he couldn’t help it. No way could he lose the hate and contempt built up over eight centuries in one night. He didn’t think he’d ever be able to look past her name and his curse. “Besides, the way things are going, I won’t be getting that close to her. She’s fighting me on the serving and protecting thing.”
    Sparkle sighed as she studied her nails. Eye-poppingly purple. “You haven’t given her a good reason to accept you. Gerry needs to see a benefit to having you around.” She slid her gaze the length of his body before lifting her gaze to his face. “I, of course, immediately saw the benefit of that gorgeous body.” She glanced to where Gerry and Donna were heading back toward them. “She’s hunting criminals alone. You’re big and powerful. The two of you could catch criminals a lot faster than she could alone.”
    Sparkle had something there. Gerry couldn’t even sense nonhumans—not that he could either. She wasn’t old enough to have any advanced powers, so his strength and experience might help balance out her weaknesses. “Good idea. Thanks.”
    Sparkle started to say something, but suddenly froze. She was staring past the ship to the beginning of the Wild West section of the park. Conall followed her gaze.
    â€œThat bastard.” She glared at a guy talking with three women.
    Wow, and what women they were. Tall, blond, and beautiful. Walking clichés. Conall was impressed. “So who’s the guy?”
    â€œEdge.” Sparkle spoke through gritted teeth.
    â€œDo you know the women?” He was already losing interest as Gerry drew closer. He’d have to find a way to offer his help without making it sound like he didn’t think she could do her job by herself.
    â€œOh, yeah. I know them.” She sounded a little scary.
    â€œNot friends, huh?”
    â€œThey’re going to complicate things.” She stood.
    Conall watched her curl her fingers into claws. Uh-oh, Edge and the ladies had trouble heading their way. “So who are they?”
    She glanced at him, and her amber eyes actually glowed. “They’re demonic vestal virgins.” Then she strode toward the group.

    Sparkle forced herself to slow down, look more unconcerned, and put more sway into her swagger as she drew nearer Edge and his twisted-sister trio. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing how pissed off she was. Where the hell had he gotten the power to interest them ? Because the virgins were all about power, lots of it.
    Edge smiled as she reached his group. “Having any luck hooking up your immortal warrior and the sexy little vampire? Gotta hand it to you. Trying to match up the last of the Kavanaghs with a guy Morrigan loves to hate takes guts. The goddess doesn’t want Conall having fun with any part of his curse.”
    â€œAnd I should care why?” Once again,
