screaming when you finally believe that all of this, that we, are real.
 Something like that. Thomas s fingers began to play with Margo s hair, and she shifted in her seat,
her body reacting to his so strongly she had the urge to get up and leave the room. Or drape herself across
his chest and beg him to touch her.
Thomas stiffened beside her, as though he d heard her thoughts. His arm left her shoulder and he
focused on his plate of food with renewed interest. Oookay. Margo put food on her plate, knowing it was
just for show. There was no way she d be able to swallow past the giant lump in her throat.
 We believe. Right before you came in we were talking to a ghost, weren t we, hon?
 Don t remind me, Kasey Lynn, Bryan grumbled, obviously still smarting from the spirit s flirtation
with his wife.  I ve been waiting years to see a full manifestation and the first thing he does is flirt with my
wife. And I didn t even get a picture. He looked over at Thomas.  Just to clarify. We won t have to eat
any bull or moose penis, right? Because I m all for challenges and scares, and I have no problem believing
in ghosts or vampires, but I won t eat another creature s Mr. Bill. That s just not right.
Beside her, Julie choked on a scallop at Bryan s comment, but before Margo could pat her on the
back, Liam was there. She hid a smile, turning her head as the big man cooed over her friend. Her gaze

clashed with forest green eyes filled with laughter and desire. She lowered her voice.  Quite an interesting
group you ve put together, Mr. Lyons. So perfect you d think it was scripted.
 If I d been able to script it, Ms. Sheffield, he whispered in her ear, his hot breath making her shiver.
 There wouldn t be this many people in the room with us. Damn, you smell good.
She leaned away from him before he could bury his nose in her neck and reached for a buttery sliver
of crab, slipping it between her lips with a sigh. Maybe she could eat after all, this was delicious. Anything
to keep from embarrassing herself in front of the others.
Through the rest of the meal Margo couldn t help but notice that Naomi Blaze didn t have the same
modesty problem. The way she leaned forward when she spoke to Thomas, her dress so revealing Margo
wouldn t be surprised if a stray nipple popped out by accident. And Thomas, the scoundrel, was flirting
back. If he had such a good sense of smell, surely he could sniff out the silicone in those too-perfect-to-be-
real beauties.
She would have been jealous if she hadn t been sure that it was his hand she was engaged in a slap
fight with beneath the table. Between fending off the tantalizing slide of his palm along her thigh, and
watching all the sexuality laden interactions between Joseph and Chi, sweet Julie and Liam, and Naomi and
well, everyone, Margo was strung tight as a wire.
 We have a request for formal introductions from Bludlust200. Saint, who hadn t spoken through the
entire meal, looked toward Thomas with a questioning glance.
Thomas nodded toward the diners.  Sorry. I ve been remiss in my duties. We have your names and
short bios about each of you on the site, but no specifics. Please, everyone, introduce yourselves.
Kasey Lynn lifted her hand and smiled at the camera.  I m Kasey Lynn Hollister and this is my
husband Bryan. We met at a science fiction convention six months ago, and we were married two months
later. Both of us work as IT support and in our spare time  she shrugged adorably,   we search for
irrefutable proof of paranormal phenomena.
Bryan leaned over to kiss Kasey Lynn, and Chi pointed at Joseph, who shrugged.  Joseph Lopez. I m
an architect, the only brother to seven older sisters, and a fan of the show. He licked his lips.  I also have a
thing for women who bite.
Margo noticed Thomas glaring at Joseph, and had to wonder again if he and Chi had a history
together.  Moving on, their host growled.
Stan wiped his mouth carefully with his napkin, pushing back his chair to stand before them, bowing
formally.  Stanley Lawrence Ayer. I deal in antiques, and it is no secret I am a skeptic of the paranormal
world. Spectral illusions notwithstanding, I have yet to see anything to change my mind on that score.
However, I look forward to your efforts.
Margo shook her head. He d seemed like a good guy on the plane. Since they d arrived, his demeanor
had sharpened in a way that made her uncomfortable. With half her attention, she listened to Naomi use her
