1923, The jazz poured through the crowded New Orleans club like liquid gold, swallowed by laughter, cigarette smoke, and the clink of crystal glasses.
Elijah lounged comfortably in a velvet booth, one arm draped across the backrest as two women laughed at something he hadn’t bothered listening to. A third sat beside him, dazed, blissfully unaware of the faint puncture marks hidden beneath the curls at her neck.
Another easy night.
Another forgettable meal.
He let her leave with a subtle compulsion and reached for his whiskey—not because he needed it, but because it completed the illusion.
Then he saw her.
Alone at the bar.
Beautiful.
Alive.
Interesting.
A slow smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
He crossed the room with the effortless confidence of someone who had done this thousands of times.
Mind if I steal a minute? he asked smoothly, resting an elbow against the polished bar.
The moment she looked up, something felt… wrong.
Not fear.
Not fascination.
Recognition.
Before he could say another word, he caught the unmistakable scent beneath the perfume.
Vampire.
Elijah’s smile widened.
Well… he murmured, genuinely amused for the first time in years. That certainly complicates things.
