"Then go to the Halloween party with me." Lexa knew she shouldn't. She suspected the more time she spent with Josh, the more time she'd want to spend with him. How had she gotten herself into this mess? She looked up at him and that was a mistake. His honest blue eyes enticed and excited her. Couldn't she have a taste of spending some time with him? Just a taste? "All right. I'll go with you. But..." "But?" "But I can't get involved with anyone right now. If we go, we go as friends." His gaze was filled with questions he didn't ask. Maybe because he guessed she wouldn't answer them. He smiled. "That sounds good to me." *** Yes, friendship sounded good, Lexa thought as she poured herself a cup of punch. But deep down, she knew more than friendship was simmering between her and Josh. They'd arrived an hour ago and had been socializing most of that time with Clare and her friends. Lexa felt very safe...until she looked at Josh. History had never seen a sexier or more handsome Dracula. His long legs encased in slim black trousers, the black turtleneck hugging his chest, the dramatic black cape trimmed in red. He'd discarded the mask soon after they'd arrived.
