in bed.  Viktor was somewhat annoyed at losing a whole day, but Alma wouldn’t allow him to go out in the sunshine, and besides, she did manage to find something to distract him.
    After sunset, and after much umming and ahhing, they headed to the hotel where the incident took place.  Hotel Jinx was one of the higher end hotels in Playa Lunar, and also the hotel Julian always stayed at when he visited.  He always stayed in the penthouse suite.
    Viktor strode through the lobby, pulling Alma behind him.
    “Okay Sherlock, what makes you think they’ll actually allow us to go up there?” she whispered furiously.  “It’s still a crime scene.”
    Alma inclined her head in the direction of the two podgy and bored looking patrol officers who were standing, ostensibly guarding the private elevator to the suite.
    Viktor ducked behind a pillar, dragging Alma with him.  Sure that no one could see them, he took the opportunity to kiss her and run his hands down her supple body.  She moaned into his mouth as her soft curves trembled.
    Alma leaned her head back and closed her eyes.  “Mmm, maybe we should just get a room…”
    Viktor growled lowly as he scented her burgeoning arousal.  They’d spent all day making love and yet it still wasn’t enough.  Forever wouldn’t be enough for him, he’d always want more .
    “Later, my darling.  First we need to get into that suite.”
    He darted glances around the lobby.  The patrolmen were the only cops there.  Most likely they were just there as a precaution, the cops tended to be over-cautious when it came to vampire related crime.  They had probably already processed the suite, and removed the evidence they needed.
    Viktor eyed the two men carefully, his sharp eyes paid attention to the lines of their body.  Bingo .  The keycards for the hotel were pretty bulky, and if he wasn’t mistaken, there was one in the back pocket of the older, more grizzled of the two cops.  It had to be the key for the suite.  Either that, or the guy had the weirdest shaped ass Viktor had ever seen.
    Both cops were human, which was a bonus.  They wouldn’t be able to scent that Viktor was a vampire, which might have put them a little on edge.
    He turned back to an impatient looking Alma, and was slightly disappointed that her arousal had dimmed, considerably.
    She tapped her foot.  “So what’s the plan, Kojak?”
    “They’re never going to just let us in there, so we’re not going to bother asking permission.”
    Alma chewed on her lip, pretending to ponder the matter.  “Perhaps I could ask Detective Leeman if we could just…”
    Viktor snarled angrily.  “If you mention that damn lion one more time I will murder him!”
    She smirked.  “Settle down, fang boy.”
    “You’re just trying to annoy me, aren’t you?”
    Alma fluttered her eyelashes.  “I don’t have to try.”
    The vampire huffed and shook his head.  Damn devil woman .  “I think the portly cop has the keycard…”
    “Portly?  You know, sometimes I forget you’re old.”
    He ignored her.  “I just need to pick his pocket; do you think you can distract him?”
    She arched an eyebrow, a look of disbelief spread over her face.  “You’re joking, right?  You honestly believe I can’t entertain a couple of middle-aged men for a few minutes?”
    Viktor counted to ten.  “Just don’t go overboard, okay?  Try to restrain yourself.”
    “Ah, gee, and here I was planning on flashing both my boobs at them, I tell you what, I’ll only flash one.”
    He pursed his lips.  “Yes, you getting arrested for indecent exposure, that’s just what we need.”
    Alma sniggered.  “ Puh-lease, they are not going to arrest me, they’d be more likely to get down on their knees and ask me to marry them.”
    Over the years, Alma had been proposed to eleven times, but obviously she’d always declined.  Holding out for Mr Right, even if he did turn out to be Mr Downright Infuriating at times.
    Viktor tutted
