    About this ebook

    (Please note, this is Volume 2.)

    Scott Cunningham is a vampire just trying to make a living. After all, being undead isn't cheap. There's rent to pay, blood to buy, and child support due; it's an eternal treadmill. You would think it would be terribly boring, but as Scott is finding out, unlife as a lawyer in rural Tennessee is anything but.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Episode 11: The Ex

      Scott laid his head back against his leather executive chair and exhaled in relief. He didn’t breathe anymore—so it was impossible for him to be out of breath—but there were times when a sigh was a necessary thing all the same.

      Josie tucked her head under his chin, cuddling against him. He could feel her heart pounding in her chest and hear her labored breathing. Despite the fact that he had already had a drink of blood, her aliveness made him hungry again. But he didn’t act on it. He tried to be judicious when it came to drinking from her; he didn’t want to make her weak or anemic. And he worried about the scars he was leaving on her neck—although he tried to bite her in the exact same place every time to limit the scarring.

      But nothing turned Josie on more than vampire foreplay, so there was no way she would let him stop doing it completely—not that he wanted to stop, either. He felt like he was making up for nineteen years of boredom. And he was enjoying the hell out of it.

      Josie sighed deeply—sounding rather contented—then got off his lap. She found her red satin panties in the floor and put them back on. She was, once again, the perfectly nice front-office secretary, with her gray, knee-length pencil skirt, ivory sleeveless blouse, and black silk scarf—dangling with black beads—tied around her neck. A vampire’s lover? Josie? Naw…. She was a nice, intelligent girl who wouldn’t be into that at all.

      Scott smiled at her, then pulled up his pants and tucked in his shirt. Banging the secretary? Attorney Cunningham? Naw…. He was too quiet and respectable for that sort of thing.

      Josie checked her gold wrist watch. Your next appointment should be here in about ten minutes.

      That’s fine. Do you have the papers drafted for the Golden divorce? See? They were a normal, run-of-the-mill law office.

      She tapped a yellow file laying in his inbox. It’s right here.

      Oh, he said, feeling a little embarrassed. I haven’t even had time to go look at my inbox. I’ve been… doing some research.

      Yeah, mm-hmm, research, she said with a knowing smile. She knew he was actually a terrible procrastinator—on top of being addicted to Angry Birds.

      She gave him a saucy wink, then walked out, shutting the door behind her. Scott took another deep breath, then reached for the Golden file. But he hadn’t even managed to focus his mind on his task, when Josie rapped her knuckles briefly on the door, then opened it without waiting for a response. This is Ms. Margaret Votter, she said, showing the woman in.

      Scott felt the blood drain from his face—if that was physically possible.

      He rose, numbly, to his feet. Yes, I know Maggie, he said quietly.

      Josie looked at him, confused
