have stuck around to protect the young women…from
everyone else, including themselves and their crappy magic.
    They followed a cursing Lance outside
where he climbed onto his motorcycle and zoomed away, not caring to
wait for the others to join him.
    “ Boy he’s mad,” Ginger said,
biting her lip. “If he’s this mad over May doing this once a month
for a charity, how mad do you think he’s going to be when he finds
out I do it two weekends a month, just because I can?”
    Marigold scowled and crossed her arms.
“He has no business barging back into our lives and telling us what
to do now. He should have stuck around after Mom and Dad
disappeared, if he wanted the right to try and tell us what to
do.”
    “ You’ve got that right,
sis,” Jasmine said from inside Drake’s limo. “Come on, you guys, we
have to hurry if we’re going to get there before May strangles him
with something green. You know how she gets when she gets mad.
Let’s just hope there aren’t any live plants in that
club.”
    “ There aren’t, but that
doesn’t mean anything. She only needs them near the club.” Ginger
climbed in next to Jasmine and the rest of the sisters followed
suit.
    “ To the Purring Pussycat Club, Oscar,” Drake
said as he closed the door. “You do know where that is, don’t
you?”
    “ Of course I remember,
sir.”
    April gave her husband a dirty look.
“He remembers where it is?”
    Drake just gave her an unreadable look.
“You can hardly be upset about the places I found myself before we
met, sweet.”
    “ I can if you’ve lied to me.
You told me you’d lost interest in sex until you met
me.”
    Drake appeared uncomfortable. “Just
because I had lost interest in sex does not mean that I didn’t find
pleasure in looking at women.”
    April huffed and turned away from her
husband. “Men! You can’t kill ‘em and, well, you can’t kill
‘em.”
    Tony noticed she didn’t resist when
Drake pulled her close and tucked her under his arm.
    “ May is in so much trouble.”
Tansy pressed her fingers against her lips, most likely to hide her
smile. “I can’t imagine what Lance is feeling right now, especially
if he thought she was hot.”
    A few of the girls stuck their fingers
toward their open mouths. “Gag!” they said at once.
    After so many centuries alone, Tony
felt as though he was part of a family again. He looked down at
Tansy and thanked the heavens that he found her. Having made the
decision to end his life just before they met, she was literally
his salvation.
    He wanted nothing more than to take her
into his arms and kiss her stupid. His fingers practically itched
to touch her soft skin, her silky hair and his body ached to feel
her soft curves pressed tightly against him, but he knew she would
never allow it here, in front of her sisters.
    After so many years alone, this woman
gave him life, a family and siblings to tease and protect all over
again.
    “ Tell me,” he said,
interrupting their feminine chatter. “Which do you think upset him
the most, the fact that his little sister is an exotic dancer, or
that he was attracted to her before he realized who she
was?”
    The sisters all began to laugh.
“Definitely the latter,” April said with a giggle.
    “ Definitely,” they all
agreed at the same time.

Chapter Five
     
     
    The Purring Pussycat was just the way
Tansy imagined it. It was dark inside and sleazy. Topless
waitresses ran about filling and exchanging the drinks on the
tables, fighting off the men with wandering hands as they did
so.
    Lance stood at the bar, his back to the
liquor, his elbows resting on the gleaming wood behind him. He
stared at the stage, his expression grim.
    Thankfully, it wasn’t May on the stage,
but another woman that Lance couldn’t seem to stop staring at. She
wore a librarian costume, complete with her hair in a bun, high
buttoned blouse, thick bottle glasses and black chunky
shoes.
    For some reason, Lance didn’t look any
happier to see
