Free Night Calls - Nyx Slaughter Book 1 by Amber Lynn

far
as not talking to keep me from covering lies, I actually cannot
think of anything specific. It was never anything major. I mean, I
kept quiet about my age the few times you have asked me. Just
little things like that.”
    “Okay that doesn’t seem too bad. No
disgruntled girlfriends coming out of the woodwork?”
    “No serious relationships within
the last century, so you should be safe there. I already know I
have Ryan to worry about on your side and I can only imagine how
fun that will be when he finds out what I did. The anger I was
expecting from you is going to be about a thousand times stronger
in him,” he says laughing. “From what you have mentioned and what I
heard last night, the boy has turned your fake relationship into a
real one. I, of course, see the logistics behind it, I mean you are
awesome, but he is rather delusional. Someone needs to hurry up and
find him his real mate before he goes off the deep end.”
    “Maybe with me away from the
Collective he will have that opportunity. So, what are we going to
do about our relationship getting out in the open? I won’t be
working for the Collective anymore, but I do think I want to
continue doing assassination jobs. I get a lot of requests that I
have been turning down. Now with some more free time, I can
potentially use my skills to help others,” I tell him.
    “I have no
problem shouting from the rooftop that you are with me. You not
being associated with the Collective probably doesn’t hurt, but I
imagine eventually people will realize that I have been your
accomplice. Of course, they won’t figure that out until they stop
scratching their heads on how in the world goodie two-shoe assassin
extraordinaire, Nyx Slaughter, ended up slumming it with the likes
of Sebastian deYork, the king of all things wrong in this world.
Can you just imagine the headlines?

Holy Cow! What is wrong with this
picture?
” he says laughing
hysterically.
    “Seriously, you aren’t that bad and
I am not that good,” I say.
    “Did you know there are rumors out
there that you are so on the straight and narrow that the
Collective handed you down an order to kill your father and you did
it? I have never brought that up because you have said you don’t
know about your biological parents, but I do find it to be an
interesting statement,” he replies.
    “At the present moment I choose not
to comment,” I say and with my lack of comment, I am probably
saying more than I should.
    “Interesting reply. I have a
feeling at least part of that statement is true and before the end
of the night, I will know which part,” he says
cryptically.
    “Once we are in a place that I am
for sure is secure, I may just let you in on some secrets of my
own. I don’t know a lot about much, but there are a few things you
may be interested to know,” I reply.
    “You know I love it when you are
mysterious. I am in no hurry to hear your secrets and if this
vehicle is not secure we are in a lot of trouble because we have
been followed most of the way. They picked us up just outside of
town.”
    “I figured as much, but have
enjoyed living on the dangerous side. What we have said, so far,
only affects you and me. I can live with any of the repercussions
and anyone that has something to say about what we have been
discussing can take it up with me. Other people are not as
resourceful and I always champion the underdog.”
    “See, the kick ass assassin with a
heart. That is what everyone sees when they look at you. It is kind
of an oxymoron if you think about it. Usually for that occupation
the heart has been removed,” he says.
    “I know for sure no one sees me
having a heart, you are so full of it. Lucky you are going to be
able to see what I am really like, since we are living together
now. Let me just say that I clean up nice for the public, but after
being raised as an outsider, I don’t walk down the straight and
narrow as much
