That got my attention.
I set my glass on the table and looked Daniela dead in her light-brown eyes. “What she is? What the hell does that mean?” I feigned ignorance.
She set her drink down and reached across the table and grabbed my hand. “Listen, Judson. There’s something I have to tell you.”
Oh, shit. I knew where this was going.

Daniela
He knew about vampires. I obviously knew he knew about them. Yes, it was a bitch move to choose to tell him about me in a bar full of fucking vampires, witches, and whatever else was in here. The blonde girl with the braid—I could tell she was a werewolf, but she seemed to be something else, too. The whole place was packed with supes, and I knew telling Judson about me in a quiet, private place would not end well. But I had to tell him. He knew we existed. I had to tell him that I knew that he knew.
Crap. This was getting complicated.
“Stop,” Judson said before I could get the words out. “I need to tell you something first.”
I chewed my lip and shook my head. “I don’t know. I think I need to tell you first.”
“I know about vampires.”
“I’m a vampire.”
We said it at the same time. Shock registered on his face, but not on mine.
The entire Moon Chasers crowd seemed to stop what they were doing… and focus on us.
“Don’t worry, we’re good!” I cried, standing up. “Super good, y’all.” The tension was enormous. I had to try to diffuse it somehow. I could see the werewolf with her hand on her thigh dagger and I wanted no part of that shit.
I looked straight into her yellow eyes. “We’re totally good. You have my word.”
She nodded slightly and then turned her attention back to her tablemates. It was then I noticed a very good-looking dark-haired vampire in a shiny suit come over and put his hand on her shoulder. She smiled at his touch and then said something about me to him while looking at me. He glanced over at us and I swallowed hard. He was definitely a vamp and looked like he could kick both our asses with one hand tied behind his back. I looked away and back to Judson.
“So, you know about vampires.” I lowered my voice. “I know you know about vampires.”
He studied me hard for a minute. “And you know that I know that you’re one?”
My eyebrows rose. “Well, no, not until now. So… if you’re looking for vengeance, why haven’t you tried to kill me?”
He glanced around the bar and then back to me. “You sure we should be having this conversation here? So many vampires.”
I grinned. “Why do you think I brought you here?”
“Not cool, Dani.” His jaw ticked.
“Look,” I said, wondering how much information I should divulge. “I need you to tell me why you’re luring vamps to their deaths.”
“I…” he stammered. “I’m…” Judson seemed to be tongue-tied. “I don’t lure them to their deaths. I follow them. But the last few… they seem to be gone when I try to find them.”
Beginning to think coming here was a bad idea, I said, “You know, we should probably go someplace more private.”
Judson cocked his head to the side. “Like where?”
“Your place?” I suggested.
“Seriously? I’m not sure I can trust you in here with this crowd, let alone being completely alone with you. Not now.”
“Why?” I asked, smiling. “Afraid I’ll fuck the information out of you?”
He swallowed hard and lifted the stein to his lips. “Something like that.”
“Finish your beer, we’re getting out of here. No sex. Just talking. Okay?” I suggested.
He looked at me skeptically and then nodded slightly. It seemed to take him forever to finish his drink, but when he finally did, I followed him back to his place.
“I thought we were supposed to be talking?” I panted out between kisses.
What was it about his place that made me such a horn-dog? Or maybe it was just being alone with him.
He gazed down at me, out of breath, and brushed some hair behind my ear. “I need that beautiful body of yours first.”
Well, hell.
He grabbed my hand and walked me to the bedroom. He pushed me down onto the bed. I used vampire speed to pull my clothes off and was done long before he was. He paused and tilted his head to the side. “Huh. That was cool.”
I pulled him to me as he was still standing and again used preternatural speed to push him on the bed and then straddled him. Then, I slowed it way down.
He reached up and softly swirled his finger around my bare nipple. “Yes.” I shuddered, my eyes fluttering closed, and began to writhe on his bare belly. “Feels good.”
“Are you going to bite me, Dani? While I fuck you?”
My eyes opened to slits to stare at him, his fingers still sending hot pulses straight down to my core. “Do you want me to, baby?”
“Will it turn me?” he asked.
I shook my head. “No.”
With his other hand, he trailed it down my belly and then ran it down my wet slit. “Promise?”
“Oh, God,” I moaned out, shuddering violently at what he was doing to me.
“Answer me, Dani,” he demanded.
“Promise,” I panted out.
He lifted me slightly and impaled me on him and we both cried out. As I rode him, he pulled my neck down so our faces were inches apart. My gaze traveled down the length of his neck and to his very prominent carotid artery. I licked my lips while trying to hold off on the rush of pleasure that was about to erupt in my lower belly. I looked back up into Judson’s eyes to gauge his reaction to my fangs. Once they slid from my gums, his eyes got wide, but he did not stop the thrusting of his hips. His grip on them tightened as he dug his fingertips into my hip bones, but he didn’t say anything. Moving
