​The hard composite of her firearm shifted against her lower back.
Well, if push comes to shove, I can protect myself. I’ll shoot the bastard if he shows up and tries anything.
Eventually, her nerves calmed enough so she could move without feeling ill.
She rose and stripped out of her clothes, put her weapon on the counter, then stepped into the shower. The hard and hot spray beat on her, helping her to feel something other than worry about potential rumors or her ex finding her. Kat bowed her head, placed her hands above the faucets. The water sluiced down her hair, cascaded in wide streams over her back. More time passed. Relaxed and clear headed, she finished her shower and was about to open the door when a thud and click sounded on the other side.
Gripping the towel wrapped around her body, she snatched her weapon, opened the door, and cautiously looked out into the room.
Dakota lounged on the bed, one leg bent, his hat propped on that leg’s knee. His hair stuck up in clumpy spikes. He ran a dirty hand through his dark brown locks.
Kat released a pent-up breath, lowered her weapon, and placed the Glock on a counter next to the bathroom door. “How’d you get in here?”
Tired eyes gazed at her. “I’m manager on duty while the Taggerts are away, ’member? Got a bunch of master keys.” Dak held up the ring of them. “You okay? When you didn’t come back, I got worried.”
“I’m fine. I think the humidity got to me. Along with the dirt.”
“Sure. The humidity. You tell me that you’re afraid a man is going to come after you, or rather us. We hear about the vehicle. You turn white as one of our ghosts and run off. Who was in the car, Kat?”
“Hell if I know. I’ve been with you all day. I didn’t see the fancy black car or who was in it.”
“You don’t have a clue as to who was in the car? I’m not buying it.”
“Buy it or don’t.” She crossed her arms over her stomach. “I really don’t know. It could have been Nero. It could have been his goons. It could have been a neighbor of yours or one of the party guests Kent mentioned. I. Wasn’t. There. I. Didn’t. See.”
Dakota flung himself off the bed and slammed the hat on his head. “Get dressed. You’ll come with me while I get cleaned up then we’ll go hang out in the rec hall.”
“You know what, Dak? I appreciate the Boy Scout approach, and how you’re trying to get a merit badge for babysitting, but all I want is to lie down and take a nap.”
“Kat, please. I’m hot, dirty, and tired. I don’t want to argue.” He strode to the door. “Get dressed so we can get going.” His gaze flashed darkly, roamed over her with an appraising glance. A slow grin tipped up the corner of his lips.

​ On impulse, Elle hugged him, just a quick squeeze but enough contact to make her heart flutter. “Caspian, you're such a friendly ghost.”
A mischievous twinkle appeared in his light blue eyes. “I can be so much friendlier, dear Elle.” He ducked his head, hesitated and hovered as if waiting for her to pull away, then when she parted her lips in invitation, kissed her, teasing and tasting. His tongue traced her mouth from corner to corner.
When Elle was nothing more than a pile of quivering limbs in his arms, he pulled back. “Good night, sweet Elle. Sweet dreams.”
Long after Caspian departed, Elle lay in her bed trying to sleep. But that blissful slumber refused to come. Instead she was left staring at the ceiling. He'd asked what she wanted out of life and she wasn't sure she knew the answer to that question. Searching deep inside she realized what she really wanted was to be free to continue helping spirits. Whether that meant helping them cross over or getting messages to loved ones she didn't care.
The air in the room grew heavy. Her chest tightened making breathing difficult. Her eyes popped open, searching for any source of light. It was as if her room had been swallowed by a black hole.
The bed dipped as if someone had joined her.
“Who’s here? Is there something you need?” She knew exactly who was in her room and she immediately pulled white light around her being.
“I need you to die,” a voice whispered before hands wrapped around her throat.

​Good thing I had a double ration of blood last night or else I just may be downing you the way you’re inhaling the pastries.
That thought stopped him in his tracks. It had been decades since he took nourishment from a human. He’d vowed a long time ago that in the future the only woman he’d drink from again was the one he’d wished to spend eternity with. Too many relationships gone wrong could emotionally stunt a vampire bachelor, not to mention the harm it did to a human.
Penny licked the blueberry crumbs–very lady like–from her fingers.
At this rate he’d have to make sure Fredrick made a tray of pastries just for his weekend ball and chain. “All of our berries are picked locally or flown in daily from another state. Fresh ingredients is our motto.”
“Michael.” Penny wiped her mouth with a black linen napkin. “May I call you Michael?”
“Sure.”
“I am very excited to spend the weekend learning from you and about you. Consider us attached at the hip for the next few days.”
Great. Attached at the hip. Would she still be attached to his hip when he took one of his many friends with benefits to bed tonight? The thought enticed him. And then scared the hell out of him.
Hell no. The last thing he needed was to involve Penny in his life in a sexual way. Not to mention, she really wasn’t his type, although she easily could be.
He had enough issues that would involve her this weekend. Even with his preoccupation with Penny licking her fingers, he must wipe any particularly erotic thought from his mind completely.
“So, are we ready for that interview, Michael?” Carolyn continued to gaze at him while coloring her lips with a dark red lipstick, and glancing from him, to Penny, and then back into the little circular mirror in her hand. “I’d like to get this footage on the noon live telecast.”
“Fine. Let’s get this over with.” Michael motioned for one of his staff to bring him his black-and-white chef jacket and hat, and then he pointed toward the stone fireplace in the restaurant.

An interview with C.R. Moss ~ A Fun Q&A


1) Does size matter?
IMO, yes. Too small ("Are you even there?") or too big ("You're splitting me in two!") wouldn't be fun at all and would detract from the experience.


2) Flowers or Chocolate?
Chocolate. Unless the flowers are fake. I don't mind fake flowers because they last longer, and I don't feel are a waste of money regardless of the sentiment behind them.


3) E-book or paperback?
Depends upon the story, the author and my mood. I enjoy collecting both. :)


4) Beer, Wine, or Liquor
Beer is my first choice. Then I have this expensive bottle of tequila which is awesome as is the chocolate/coffee tequila we have. If neither are available, then I’ll drink wine.


5) What are three things readers might be surprised to know about you?
I used to be a baton twirler. Won medals, too. | I used to play soccer. | I crewed for a balloon pilot once upon a time.


6) Three words that best describe you?
People have said that I’m funny, loyal, & some say honest, while others call it blunt…


7) What are your favorites of all time?
Number?
~ 2
Food?
~ potatoes
Song?
~ (so many to choose from…geez…but if I had to pick one…) ‘Time Stand Still’ by Rush
Movie?
~ (again so many to choose from…& like with music, it really depends upon my mood…but as of this moment… if I had to pick one…) “Stranger than Fiction” [Interesting tidbit: The film's title derives from a quote by Mark Twain: "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." The Mark Twain Calendar. New York: Harper and Kleinteich. 1917.]
Place on Earth?
~ Ah, how to choose one out of all the places I’ve been… Upon reflection though, most places I’ve enjoyed being all were near or on the water so I’m going to say: The beach.
Memory?
~ It’s a tie between being on the dormitory rooftop patio in Germany, looking at the stars and listening to ‘Time Stand Still’ and the cruises I’ve taken with hubby.
