\"phantom-kiss\"\u201cThere is no torture so sweet, no punishment so sublime, as the couple\u2019s wedding shower.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tortured vampire, who was tall and chiseled enough to make Apollo weep with jealousy, stood beside me at the threshold of a mansion in Oak Park, Illinois.<\/p>\n

The house belonged to my parents. In two months, the vampire would belong to me.<\/p>\n

He wore a perfectly fitted dark suit, a crisp white shirt beneath. The top button was undone to reveal the silver drop that rested in the hollow of his throat. His hair was golden and fell to his shoulders, his eyes the green of flawless emeralds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou rule a House of vampires,\u201d I reminded Ethan. \u201cYou\u2019ve fought monsters, sorcerers, evil politicians. You can handle presents and party games for a couple of hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The look of horror that widened his eyes was priceless. Not that I was thrilled about entering my parents\u2019 house. No matter the occasion, being here felt like being corseted into a body that wasn\u2019t quite my own. On the upside, at least I wasn\u2019t going to be tortured alone. Ethan was my partner in crime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
