Laughing, the couple scurried away and out of the darkened corridor. “I thought we really had something this time.” “Itching for battle with a few bad guys?” Eve tossed her arm over Alex’s shoulder and grinned down at her. Her pulse quickened at the thought of getting her claws into a DEAD vampire, followed by a nearly undeniable urge to scream, run, or climb the damn wall in front of her. Her skin prickled. Sucking in a deep breath, she reached up and massaged her upper arms with her palms, doing what little she could to rub away the sensation. “Just a lot of nervous energy, I guess,” she said. “I’ve been waiting, preparing for this night for so long, you know. And then…” She groaned low in her throat, and dropped her arms to her sides. “Nothing but a couple of horny college kids.”
