Hot for Slayer

by Ali Hazelwood

Not that I enjoy relentless harassment, but what’s a girl to do when the only constant presence during the last millennium of her life has been a guy who’s contractually mandated to murder her?

“As long as you don’t let anyone get to you before I do, Aethelthryth.” “Oh, don’t worry. I’ll always save myself for you.”

My motto is: If I have to suck someone dry every few weeks, why not make it a Goldman Sachs executive?

“You’re a vampire slayer.” “In retirement.” “So, what . . . what would you like to do? Now that . . . What would you . . . ?” His throat works. “It’s your decision to make, Aethelthryth.”
