his skin.
    “She’s arrived.” Filipp stood and straightened his clothing.
    Liam thought it a tad odd that Filipp seemed to be nervous. Filipp was never nervous. Debir just sat back and smirked as they waited for the inevitable knock.
    Two raps on the main suite door had Filipp grasping the doorknob within milliseconds. “Welcome.” He moved to let the woman pass.
    Liam stood to greet her when she passed through the threshold. It was not a woman at all who had walked into their suite. She was a goddess. Her waist-length black hair fell like ribbons of silk over her shoulders. Her eyes were the color of coal with a delicate sparkle that enhanced their beauty. Her skin was the shade of an ivory pearl, with a sheen that made his fingers ache to touch it. The curve of her waist held a soft femininity as her emerald green dress clung to her body. Her shapely calves caused him to swallow hard at the thought of them wrapped around him while her spiked heels dug into his back.
    “Liam, let me introduce you to Valentina Pavel.”
    Liam stepped forward, took her hand, and lifted it to his lips. “Pleasure,” he whispered before placing a kiss upon her delicate knuckles.
    “Yes, it is. I’ve heard much about you, my Liam.”
    “Ah, staking your claim already.” Liam laughed. “I thought that was my job.”
    Valentina curled her lips up into a devilish smile as she realized Liam was still oblivious to her importance. “I see my friends have not let you in on our . . . relationship.” She caught Filipp’s gaze.
    “I thought it best to be presented in person. You see . . .” Filipp brought his arm around Liam’s shoulders. “Valentina has been helping us for many years. Her family has worked alongside vampires for centuries. I found Valentina when she was just a girl coming into her powers.”
    “Her powers?” Liam questioned.
    Valentina lifted her right hand and began to circle her middle finger clockwise. The crystal goblet Liam had sipped from earlier floated through the air until it hovered in front of him. He took it into his grasp and attempted to rein in his astonishment.
    “Ah, yes of course. We’re in Romania. She’s a witch.” Liam took a large gulp to sedate the unease creeping up his spine.
    “Very perceptive; I knew you would be.” Valentina winked.
    “Not just any witch. She’s been very helpful in certain recent endeavors no white witch would be able to perform.” Filipp cracked a devious smile while he looked up and down Valentina’s body.
    Liam realized his feelings of unease weren’t unwarranted. If one did not practice white magic, they practiced black magic. They were no shades of gray in the country where witchcraft was recognized as a legal profession.
    Valentina linked arms with Liam. “Boys, you will excuse us.”
    “Of course.” Debir waved his arm with an offer for them to retreat into the main bedroom.
    With the door shut behind them, Valentina licked her lips and wandered over to where Liam stood in front of the window. She trailed her fingers up his shirt’s buttons before moving in to kiss him. Even with his vampiric senses, he was taken a bit off guard.
    “What . . .” Liam attempted to talk through her warm kisses. “Are you . . .”
    “Not much time. Strip,” Valentina demanded in a seductive whisper.
    “What?” he asked, as she undid the buttons of his shirt one by one.
    “You and me, my Liam.” She kissed him again with hungry fire while placing his hands on her chest.
    Although he was confused beyond belief, and didn’t know her from Eve, he could certainly take a hint. Her dress was in shreds within a second, followed by her bra and lace panties.
    “That’s right.” Valentina tugged on his pants and he tore them off. She led him over to the bed and he followed without thought. He fell back on the bed and she lay on top of him, clad only in her heels.
    “What are we doing?” Liam asked as she kissed a trail from his chest to his chin.
    “I
