Was this how Cat felt, being a half vampire, not really fitting into the human world or the vampire one? If it was, it sucked. Of course, Cat actually had useful powers. All Denise had from her new abnormalities was an insatiable appetite and the occasional hand deformity. Villains of the world, beware! I can eat you under the table AND gross you out with my monster paws!
“Ian!” he exclaimed in an equally cheerful voice. Then he jumped across the boat and punched him hard enough to send Ian catapulting into the ocean.
As if Spade’s chivalry would allow him to do anything to a woman. The harshest punishment she could imagine him dishing out to Cat would be refusing to open a door for her.
With a hiss, a mahogany-colored cat shot out from beneath the clothes, darting at once to hide in the corner. “There she is,” Nathanial said calmly. Spade stood in the security line at the airport in Vienna, gripping a pet carrier in one hand and Nathanial’s shoulder in the other. Crispin and Cat were right behind Nathanial. Cat looked normal, but Spade knew it was taking all her concentration to function this early into the morning.
“You want to know where Denise is?” He held up the carrier so the hissing feline was visible in the rearview mirror. “Here she is! Now drive the car, Ian, or get the fuck out so I can.” Ian drove, not saying anything else all the way to the house.
“You’ve got a terrified woman stuck in an unfamiliar form who’s been carted around in a small box for hours. She’s hungry. Thirsty. Probably claustrophobic, too, which would explain why she’s been hissing and scratching at the cage nonstop. Let her out. Let her eat something, drink something, settle down a little. And then you’re going to pet her until she’s really relaxed.”
“Wretched unfair, it is,” he remarked. “Of the three of us, I’m the one who’s always collected the rare and unusual, yet you two managed to snag the world’s most unusual women. First you, Crispin, with the only living half-breed, who then turned into an even more unusual vampire. And now you, Charles, have bagged a shape-shifter.
