Chapter 8:

Two days had passed since the run in with the succubus. Vicki hadn't been sleeping well but then again she was out most nights working on a latest case. For some reason whenever she had a case it was generally in the dark and usually she was alone walking down dark alleyways looking over her shoulder all the time.

Sitting waiting for a client to turn up in a small bar she sensed Henry behind her.

'You are so easy to find Vicki.'

Smiling she turned to face him, 'Of course I am. My heartbeat is definitely unique.'

Looking around the dark bar he sighed, 'I am sorry Vicki I put you in danger.'

'Don't' apologise. Being friends with you it's kind of goes with the territory.'

Henry looked around. 'Do you have to work this case? I mean it's obvious you've been stood up.'

'Henry did you do something?' she could imagine him taking matters into his own hands and sending the guy onto another private detective just by the mere suggestion of it oh and of course the fact he was a predator unleashing the hunger.

White teeth gleamed as he moved closer to nuzzle at her neck. Instantly she felt her body respond to his touch and she felt the desire for him increase.

'Come with me Vicki.' The way he said her name was almost like a purr. She felt her body relax and she pressed tighter against him, 'All I'm offering you some time with me alone and maybe a bite to eat.'

Smiling widely as she pushed away and took his hand. 'Then why am I still sat here?'

Feeling his hand grasp hers tightly they walked out of the bar into the night.
