Pritkin gave me a little shake and I eyed him without favor. The only other occasions when I had been dragged back in time, the trip had been triggered by proximity to a person whose past was being threatened. I have to tell you,โ I said frankly, โif someone is trying to mess with your conception or something, Iโm not feeling a pressing need to intervene.

Karen ChanceMircea must have heard us come in, but he continued what he was doing. He stood with his back to us, the candlelight on his bare skin causing his muscles to fall into sharp relief. Heโd washed the river gunk out of his hair and now he threw it back, the water droplets shimmering in the light. The scene looked for all the world like a really good romance novel cover.
Karen ChanceYou know, dulceata, there are times when I truly believe you are the most frightening person I know. Thank you?
Karen ChanceTheyโll have to eat first. And by the time theyโre finished, youโll be back.โ โWith the condoms.โ โRight.โ โFor the giant orgy youโre convinced weโre about to have in the backyard.โ โDory! Just go!โ โIโll go with,โ Ray said, getting up. โI need a snack.โ Which was how I ended up condom shopping with a vampire.
