Chapter Eighteen
"I said, leave it to me, Mick. You know I have a knack for this kind of procurement from my, uh, bachelor days."
Josef Kostan is signaling to Alfred. No, maybe not. The butler won't do.
"Alright, Mick, old buddy. You can help pay off that $20k rescue fee I've just had to pay. Let's go."
"Where?"
"Into town, of course. Where else do we get them?"
"No can do. Beth is already pretty mad at me. If she hears I'm off to go barhopping to find women, I'll never hear the end of it."
"Pussy. Yup, that's what they need. Hey, I know. I'll do like Prince Bandar used to do when he was in town. Go to the bars and hand out hundred dollar bills to all the girls who are willing to get into the limo."
"Ah, you're not going to tell them about the cave men waiting in your hot tub?"
"Nah, no need to spoil the surprise. Hell, these girls are so aggressive these days, so I've been told, it'll be our sweet innocent choirboys who will be raped and pillaged tonight."
Beth and Simone have come into the room.
"Who's getting raped and pillaged?"
Vampires don't blush, yet at the sight of their beautiful wives, eagerly asking about sex, both males stand up straighter and go over to kiss their mates.
"Ah, Alfred. I guess you're on after all. Grab some cash and head on out. Hit Little Annies and Bentleys first. Don't come back without at least ten, ah, assorted colors."
"Yes, Mr. Kostan. But what will I say?"
"Tell them there's some celebrities having a private party up here and only a select few are invited. That ought to do the trick."
"Yes, indeed, sir. Shall I have cook come up with some refreshments?"
"Ah, good idea. Better make it everything she's got in the frig plus beer, and I guess, take some of the inferior wines from the cellar. After all, these guys haven't developed a palate for the finer things yet."
Looking at Beth, Mick says, "Let's hope they never do."
Knowing he's so not out of the doghouse yet, still Beth smiles at him. Her vampire. And within seconds, he has whisked her upstairs and has her top off. "My Momma." Ah, boys.
