Tawny Taylor Carpe Nocturne 2: Kiss Me, Kill Me - 18 ­
He reached out with his free hand to pet the quivering animal, and Sylvie
stiffened.
“Don’t!” she said, recalling Lulu’s reaction to Burke.
He didn’t flinch. “Why not? She’s such an adorable little thing.” He patted the
top of her head and, being the attention whore she was, Lulu wriggled in Lisa’s arms in
an attempt to get closer. “Not much of a guard dog, though.”
“Tell me about it,” Sylvie deadpanned. Evidently, Lulu didn’t have it in for all
vampires.
“Time to go.” He gave the dog one last scratch behind the ears then turned to the
door and pushed open the screen door. There was no doubt she was heading to parts
unknown with her second Master.
Some parts of her put up a loud cheer of excitement.
But the small portion of her brain that was still functioning reminded her that
posed a huge problem for Burke and Isabella.
“Wait! I… I need to let Lulu out first.” Catching him off guard, or so she
assumed, she easily wrenched her arm free and snatched Lulu from Lisa. She headed
toward the French doors leading to the backyard with Lisa hot on her tail, rattling off a
million reasons why she didn’t need to worry about Lulu’s more basic needs at the
moment.
Turning, she gave Lisa a meaningful stare. “I insist. I’m already asking a lot from
you.”
Lisa might not have completely understood what she was trying to say, but she
backed off. “Ooookay.”
Sylvie stepped outside, set Lulu on the ground and searched the dark for Burke
and Isabella. She heard nothing, and it was too dark to see. After turning to make sure
Miko was still inside and out of earshot, she whispered, “I’ll leave the door unlocked,
but I’m not staying here. Miko is inside. He’s insisting on taking me with him. If I try to
leave, you’ll have nowhere to go.”
“Dammit.” The male voice came from a nearby bush.
