Chapter 66: Leap of faith

"Yes, my little wolf. Vincent, run the bath, and put some jasmine oils in it," Gabriel ordered his butler, who Esme had been unaware of his presence. She shuddered at how long he had been there. She parted her lips and looked around for Vincent, but she only saw a blur of his form as he disappeared across the penthouse. 

He would make an excellent assassin. 

"Shall we?" Gabriel questioned though he didn't wait for her answer as he carried her across the floor. Her heart thudded against her chest in anticipation and nervousness. This was not how she was expecting the night to go. She still had to tell him a few things; maybe after all the mystique surrounding her was gone, Gabriel might find her boring. He was a vampire and probably went through lovers like the weekly food shopping.
