hottest things I’ve seen in my life!” she exclaimed, hooting and hollering as Rhys deftly swung his sword again in a high arch. Spinning around, he struck out in a wide swing, slicing the attacker into three pieces before I’d even noticed he’d swung again, let alone three times.
Watching Rhys Van Helsing fight was like watching dancers who were skilled and elegant. Only Rhys was lethal, and his moves were eerily proficient in the way he dispatched the creatures attacking. Every wide swing of his blade was timed perfectly. The attackers lunged with inhuman speed, and Rhys swung before they reached him. Men in dark tactical clothing moved into the fight, making a complete circle around the car.
My gaze slid to Acyn, who had exited the car with Rhys. He used dual blades, slicing and dancing as he killed the vampires. My attention slid to the sun and then back to the vampires who were attacking at noon. They shouldn’t be awake yet, but here they were, attacking in broad daylight!
“It’s daytime,” I yelped, jumping back from a head that slammed against my thigh. Reaching down, I grabbed it and held it up. Gagging on reflex as blood dripped from the severed neck, I tossed the poor vamp back out of the car while fighting the churning in my stomach.
“That is rather peculiar, isn’t it?” Nyx said, her eyes still locked on Rhys’s ass, covered in tightly fitted jeans. “You landed a hottie, and I think for the first time in my life, I’m jealous of you.”
“For once, maybe think with your brain and not your vagina? Why would vampires chance becoming a pile of ash to be out in the daylight?”
“They’re wearing sunblock?” I scrubbed my hand down my face as she chuckled. “I’m guessing they’ve yet to finish their change. Rhys is now taking down three in one blow, and I wish he was fighting in much less clothing. I bet his muscles constrict with every subtle move he makes. Is his cock large? Please tell me he’s the full package deal.”
I turned away from the fight, peering at Nyx’s hopeful gaze. “Very large, and considering he’s an incubus, I’m going to guess he is confident enough to know where that spot is. I could get my first real orgasm.” I wiggled my brows, turning to stare into azure eyes that narrowed on me as he cocked his head to the side.
“You didn’t tell him that the others never got you to the end of the danger zone?” Nyx snorted, but the sound was one of pity. “You’re already one up on them, Van Helsing. Since you made her come on the table and she broke it!”
“Indeed,” he grunted, turning to take in the sizzling corpses. “Remi, I thought you said your mother had hidden this place? You seem to have a pest problem here.”
“Now do you believe me that something happened?” I asked, slowly climbing out of the vehicle. Staring toward the house, Rhys grabbed my arm and pulled me back as Cole and Acyn stepped in front of us.
“Check the house,” Rhys ordered.
“Send a knight in first,” Cole snorted, crossing his heavily tattooed arms over his chest. “I don’t intend to die by entering a Silversmiths home without an invitation. Their wards are nasty, and I don’t intend to writhe in pain because we fell for some bullshit excuse of a missing mother.”
“If you would be so kind as to stop this primitive caveman act and release my elbow, I could drop the wards so you wouldn’t need to sacrifice a knight. I assure you, the wards are very active.” Rhys snorted, but he listened, releasing my elbow with a warning look.
My hands lifted, and the glowing symbols that surrounded the house became visible. The men stepped back, eyeing the cabin as if it were alive and utterly terrifying. I memorized the wards, closing my eyes, and whispered the spell to disarm them, then smiled coldly. The wards shot outward, and I exhaled.
The Van Helsing men, along with the knights, dropped to their knees, howling in pain. Watching them for a moment, I let the small victory slither over me. I peered down at the brothers, smirking as I grabbed Nyx, and started toward the house.
“Hurry,” I urged, turning the moment we were inside, and sealing the door closed with another ward. Exhaling, I opened my eyes to find Nyx glaring at me.
“Excellent plan, Remington. Minus the part where we are stuck inside this house with
