movements of my hands, it didn’t help. “No longer than a few hours if it’s okay. If it’s not, Milwaukee could help me to do it about that same time.” It would take moments if my laptop was fine because all I needed was my program, if not, then we’d have to do it as if it wasn’t my security but still that was a conservative estimate.
    He nodded and ran his tongue over his fang before turning to Seattle. “New deal. You stay the night with our full hospitality, we will give you new transportation, computer, and whatever else was damaged in your fleeing the authorities. Along with escorts out of the state tomorrow morning to keep you covered with mist.”
    “For?” Seattle’s shoulders went tense as if bracing for impact.
    “If we are truly facing the end of our way of life, then blood will become scarce soon,” he hedged as he focused on me. “And a night with a young shifter would sustain someone of my age for a long time.”
    “Just drink blood from him?” Seattle asked with a soft growl.
    “No.” I felt lust shoot through me as his meaning sank in. Holy shit! He’d make that kind of deal just to drink and have sex with me? Wow. Talk about a compliment.
    “Not fucking happening. We’re not whoring out our baby brother for—”
    “Yes,” I said, interrupting them. The argument kept right on going though. I cleared my throat and yelled it this time. “Yes!”
    “No, Chicago,” Boston snarled. “You don’t know what you’re agreeing to.”
    “Sex and he bites me.” Now, I wasn’t so sure. I glanced at the director hesitantly. “Are you into anything I won’t like? I mean, knives, chains, icky potty play, or hurting me? You won’t drain me, right? I’ll walk away at the end of the sex?”
    “What he means is it won’t be just once. I will take you all night, and with how quickly you regenerate, even your blood, I could drink pint after pint from you if I give you ten minutes rest in between. But no, nothing else. I am not into anything untoward besides a little slap and tickle and more passion than you’ve ever experience.”
    That won’t be hard . I rolled my eyes mentally. I’d only been with two men, and it hadn’t really been life altering experiences. With five older brothers, any man interested normally got chased off before even kissing me.
    “Then yes, you can have me tonight,” I whispered. I pulled out the thumb drive and handed it to Milwaukee. “You know what to do, brother.”
    “Don’t do this, Chicago. You don’t have to do this. We’ll find another way,” he begged me.
    “You were willing to die to keep me from being that Alpha’s bitch forever.” I gave him a smile to let him see I was really okay. “I can offer my throat for a vampire who wants to bed me all night. Seriously, it’s all good.”
    “We have a deal then. Your brother will spend the night with my three lieutenants and I.”
    “What?” I gasped, spinning back to face him. “You said you .”
    “I never share my bed with someone new without my lieutenants there to make sure they’re not an assassin.” He gave me an evil smile then. “You didn’t know that was standard for a director? Oh well, you’ll enjoy it.”
    “You said no games,” Seattle snarled.
    “And we said we’d make the deal. He made it,” Director Fabian shot back. I racked my brain while they were arguing, thinking about what was said. I was a computer geek. Logic was my domain. I could do this. I leaned against the pillar by me for support when I felt like my legs were going to give out, the stone under my fingers was as unbending as the men arguing around me.
    They would seriously shout each other to death and what would that solve? Sure, it would progress to blows eventually. Of that I had no doubt. All because of crafty bargains. Deals they had warned me had to be carefully worded—
    “Fine, they can watch only,” I blurted out. “You specifically said you would take me all night and you would drink
