moved the blanket off me to see what was grabbing at my waist. The worms wiggled all over his hands and arms as he dragged me to him.
    “No!” I screamed. Fear trembled through my flesh. I beat at his hands and shoved his arms, but his hold remained clamped onto my hips. The worms pushed up and made a line pattern on his skin. Buzzing sounded from his body. The bed vibrated.
    “Rich! Fin!” I beat Wiz’ s arms with closed fists. “Anybody!”
    Rich raced in. “Motherpounder!”
    The worms retreated as if they had heard Rich’s voice and disappeared into Wiz’s body because of it. A cold shiver stirred within me.
    What were they going to do?
    “Okay you’re not sleeping next to him again.” Rich dragged me off the bed until we both crashed onto the floor. “How long were his hands holding you?”
    “A few minutes , I think.” I sniffed. Wiz’s all consuming scent no longer drenched the air. I studied his face. His eyelids fluttered and then went still.
    “When Wiz comes back we need to talk to him about this,” Rich said. “Those things could be eating his insides. Maybe they are eating their way out of his body.”
    I cringed. “Okay stop.”
    “What else could they be doing but feeding?” Rich stood up. “Maybe they were trying to eat you.”
    Rich stretched out his hand and helped me up. It was in that moment when I realized he wore no clothes.
    What the heck?
    “Rich! Oh my goddess.” I covered my eyes with my hands. “Put some freaking pants on. Who stays at somebody’s place and sleeps butt naked?”
    He laughed. The sound of footsteps left the room. I peered through my fingers. Only Wiz and I remained.
    “Sleeping in the nude is comfortable,” Rich yelled back.
    “It’s barbaric. Did you sleep like that with Fin and Sasha in there?”
    “No way! The vamp is under your bed in that blood-sucker-daylight-coma state. Fin just left to tell my sister that she had to do some stuff for me. I also ordered her to get donuts.”
    I peeked under my bed. Sasha lay on her back with her face staring up at the bottom of the bed. Her eyes remained closed. Her body stayed still and unmoving. She looked like a statue. I’d read that some of the older vamps could move a little during the daylight, around an inch every minute. However, the young vampires went straight into slumber during the day with no control of their bodies. I sighed. Sasha lived on the streets with no way to protect herself during the day. That made me feel uneasy. Granted, I didn’t know her, but she’d helped me when I needed her and hadn’t done anything to hurt me.
    I’m going to let her stay here for a little while. Wiz better not have a problem with that.
    “Fin better be back with those donuts soon or I’m going to keep her busy all day,” Rich yelled from the main room.
    “You bossing Fin around is so going to come right back to you.” I rose and headed to my bathroom to take a shower. “Get dressed. We have a lot to do, today.”
    “What’s the plan?”
    Pike and Stacy’s faces flashed in my mind. I didn’t have any strength, but these were one of those instances when I wished I did. An image of me crushing their heads into pieces danced in my head. They participated in setting up Wiz. The cop had said that Stacy’s sister overdosed in B.D.’s club so Pike or Stacy had to know where the club was at since they’d been there. I liked to know where my enemies were, it made me feel better to have an eye on B.D. But how would I get Pike or Stacy to tell me the location? I knew Stacy’s address, but if her parents were back or if the police had said Wiz killed Stacy’s sister, then going to that address wouldn’t be a good idea for me. A vision of the limo hit me.
    Oh crap ! The limo! It’s probably scrap metal by now. How could I have been so stupid and not make sure someone grabbed it?
    “Cameo?” Rich clapped his hands and entered the room, wearing his black jeans from last night. Like a typical hot guy
