Days went by with no break in the murder case and thank the Goddess, no new murders by vampires or incubi. I didn't see much of Malone, which was fine by me. I got called out to a few cases that involved Others in petty thefts and a few magickal mishaps, but nothing serious. Malone didn't even have to come around and flash his Detective Shield. Galen visited me a few times for chaste dates. He took me out to dinner again and we even went to see a movie. He still kept doing that meatarmslength thing. Electricity continued to flow between us, leaving my nerve endings raw and aching for him to touch me. I wanted him so bad. My body blazed, always on fire whenever he came near. The vibes from him told me he felt the same way, yet he stayed as far away from me as he could. Our kisses.so heate
