"No, but after a couple of hundred years, you do start having some radical thoughts."
Danger stared at him in disbelief.
"And it would help if you had chosen a movie where people kept their clothes on. You know, Disney makes a damn good movie too."
He was unbelievable! "I can't believe you're Ash's chosen whatever and all you can do is think of getting laid. You are such a man-slut! You don't even care who you sleep with."
"That's not exactly true. I do have some standards. Granted, not many, but still..." He sucked his breath in sharply. "I'm so hard it's painful and when you consider the fact I don't really feel pain like a human does, that says a lot." He actually pouted and that succeeded in making her feel sorry for him. But only a little.
"You're just having a really bad night, aren't you?"
"You have no idea." He expelled a heavy sigh before he got up and headed for her hallway.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to walk around your house and try to think cold, disgusting thoughts."
Danger didn't laugh until he'd left the room. Part of her really did feel for him. Then again, it'd been nearly that long since she'd last slept with someone. She just didn't like getting naked with a stranger. Like many other female Dark-Hunters, she wanted the one thing she could never have again-a relationship. That was the hardest part about their immortality. With the exception of the Amazons, who were born to never have a relationship with a man, the rest of the female hunters missed what they'd had as humans.
It actually bothered her some nights how much she missed her husband. Up until the moment he'd betrayed her, she had loved him more than anything else in the world. Michel had had that debonair charm that won over everyone he met. Unlike Alexion, her husband had never once placed his foot in his mouth.
But then, Alexion, according to his words, hadn't been around many people.
"Oh, don't do it, Danger."
But it was too late. She was already getting up to go check on him.
She found him downstairs, holding one of her DVDs as if it were a foreign object.
"You okay?" she asked.
He nodded even though he was scowling. "What is this?"
"It's a DVD. That's what we were watching upstairs."
"DVD?"
He didn't know what a DVD was? Was that even possible? "Yeah, isn't that how you watch movies at home?"
"No. They just play."
She scowled at that. "What do you mean, they just play?"
He acted as if there were nothing unusual about his declaration. "Whenever Simi or Ash want to watch something, it just comes on."
"Without a video?"
"Yes."
Such a thing wasn't possible. "You mean you have streaming movies?"
"We have anything we want whenever we want it. At least I do if Simi's not there. She tends to be a movie hog when she's home."
There was that name again. "Who is this Simi person you keep talking about?"
Alexion stood up. At first he wasn't going to answer, but there really wasn't any reason to keep it from her. It wasn't as though the information would cost him anything. "She's a cross between an adopted daughter and an annoying little sister."
"And she lives with you and Acheron in his house that no one knows exists?"
