She can command a room and it’s so fucking hot.

“I…I…I didn’t…” Mike rambles, holding out his hands defensively. “Whatever you think happened. It…it didn’t. We’ve been here all night. And you…you’re trespassing. And assault. Yeah, you’re assaulting us!”

“Mh-mh.” Callie looks over her shoulder at me. “Bite him. Tell me if he tastes like bullshit. Because that’s what he smells like.”

Fangs bared, I jerk forward. The guys yell and Mike steps back, tripping and falling to the ground.

“Fuck!” one yells, voice quivering. I straighten up, smiling. Eliza will be sad to know she missed out on the fun.

“Get up,” Callie demands, eyes narrowing as she glares at Mike.

“You can’t do this. My dad…my dad’s a lawyer…he’ll have you arrested.”

“No, he won’t.” She holds out her hand, palm up, and brings her fingers in, like she’s holding an invisible ball. I don’t know what she’s doing, and for a half second, I think she’s trying and failing to conjure an energy ball.

But then Mike whimpers and brings his hands down to his waist and I realize she’s put some sort of magical clamp around this asshole’s balls. Just when I think she couldn’t get any better…

“Now, give me one good reason I shouldn’t castrate you right here and right now.” Her voice is cold as ice.

“I…I…I didn’t mean to hurt her.”

“Really? You didn’t mean to hurt her, but you drugged her and left her in an alley. She’s in the hospital right now with blood on her face. But that’s okay, because you didn’t mean to hurt her.”

“That’s not what happened!”

“Bullshit.”

I step closer to Callie, moving fast, and the others scream again.

“I just wanted her to loosen up.”

Callie’s heart is pounding and her blood pressure is up. These fuckers should know better by now not to mess with her. One of the roommates tries to run out of the apartment and into the hall.

Idiot.

I stop him before he can even get to the door.

“She was all for it at first,” the asshole known as Mike explains, as if it makes his despicable behavior acceptable. What a fucking loser. Any guy who thinks it’s okay to drug or force himself on a woman is a waste of human life. “She wanted to go to my car with me. And then she just kind of passed out. I didn’t touch her after.”

“I don’t believe you.” Callie inches closer. “Tell me the truth before I make you.”

“Fine!” he cries, and tries to break out of Callie’s hold. “I was going to…to…”

“Rape her?”

“Just get a little…a little action. But then a car pulled around back. I didn’t touch her. We left.”

“No shit, you left. You left her in an alley.” Callie brings her fingers closer to her palm and Mike falls to the ground, screaming in pain. “And here’s what’s going to happen.” Callie releases her hold and storms over, grabbing Mike’s wrist. She finds the pulse point and looks into his eyes, gaining control.

“You’re going to call the police and tell them what you did. Do not spare a single detail. Tell them how your friends encouraged you to get a little action from an unconscious girl in an alley. Didn’t make any attempt to stop you. Helped you buy the drugs in the first place. Go ahead and turn in your stash of weed too.”

Fuck, I might already be in love with this woman.

Mike whimpers and nods.

“And most importantly, you have no memory of me coming here tonight.” Callie looks at me again. “Wipe their memories.”

“With pleasure,” I say with a smile, fangs flashing.

“Let this be a lesson for you boys,” Callie croons, and steps over Mike, who’s still on the ground. “In how to be a fucking decent human being. Treat everyone with respect. Or else I’ll be back and I might not be in as cheerful mood as I’m in right now.”

I hold the fuckers spellbound and remove the memory of us coming into the apartment tonight, which is a shame, really. They should know how fucking badass Callie is.

The whole world should know.

Callie lets out a deep sigh when we step out of the apartment complex and into the night. Her heart rate settles down as we walk to the Range Rover, and I can’t stop staring at her the whole time.

She’s the most incredible person I’ve ever met, and if I make it another sixteen hundred years, I doubt I’ll find another woman as amazing as she is.

Full of life.

Not afraid of her powers.

And not taking any shit from anyone.

She taught those assholes a lesson, turned them over to the cops in a just and fair way but not before getting her own revenge.

I would hate to get on her bad side.

Unable to resist any longer, I grab Callie the second we get to the SUV and pick her up, pressing her against the door. My lips go to hers, kissing her hard and desperate. She hooks her arms over my shoulders and her legs fasten around my waist, pulling me tightly against her.
