Chapter One

Itembe entered from the far side of the terrace overlooking the ocean and seated himself next to Chin-Sun on the white cushions of the plantation-style couch. It took some time to narrow down on the exact moment in his past but the portal is set.

She noticed her associate was dressed with his usual flair. His black dress shirt and pants were topped with a red sport coat whose fabric was patterned to look like the skin of a crocodile. On anyone else it would have been flamboyant, but not on him. With his tall frame and dark African features, he looked like a model. She glanced away from him to the pages of the black leather folio in her lap. Just in time.

Why would anyone want to relive the moment they committed murder? he asked.

This client isn’t just anyone. He’s a vampire. A one hundred and fifty-three year old vampire. What’s even more intriguing is that he wishes to relive an experience he had with a human woman over a century ago. That by itself tells you it is quite the memory.

She closed the folio, laid it on the table in front of her, then leaned back on the couch. She smoothed her hands down her thighs over the skirt of the quietly fashionable gray dress she wore. Unlike Itembe, she preferred to present herself as innocuously professional as possible. The client had paid good money to have this experience and she would see to it that everything was just right, as she always did. The island resort had a reputation for over delivering on what they promised. Their satisfaction rate exceeded one hundred percent. Although customers initially grumbled about the high price they charged, it was considered money well spent by the time they left.

Is that him? Itembe jerked his chin toward the steps that led to the lobby where the receptionist was leading a man in.

Yes. His name is Ahram Bahar.

The man had the kind of skin that was golden brown from years of drinking in the sun. It made his light-green eyes glow from a face with exotic, angular features framed by wavy chin-length black hair.

Chin-Sun rose. "Mr. Bahar, it’s a pleasure to meet you
