The wind whipped through Zori’s massive wings as she cut through the clouds in the dark night sky. She soared towards the magnetic pull of the moon with her long black hair fluttering against her wings and back. Soon she was past the blanket of thick clouds covering the city below. She closed her eyes and simply glided, soaking in the luminous moon rays.
It was All Hallows’ Eve, the one night of the year she could just be herself. She pulled her wings in close to her body and twisted in graceful circles through the air with a delighted laugh. Flying was her greatest love. The silence, the freedom, filled her with happiness, and she suppressed the urge to shriek with joy. She was miles above the humans but she could not chance drawing attention to herself from any other supernatural creatures enjoying the night of revelry.
Hunger pangs reminded her of how long it had been since she had eaten. It was definitely time to go home to the feast she knew her butler had waiting for her. Her mouth watered as she envisioned the sumptuous spread prepared exactly to her specifications.
But first a bit of fun.
Zori smiled as she spread her silvery wings wide and ascended in the cool air, wondering what mischief her sisters were getting up to as she opened her eyes.
You’re wasting time up here basking in the moonlight.
With a wicked smile, she flapped her wings once more. She flew through the clouds, towards the artificial lights and obnoxious noise below. With unparalleled stealth and grace, she landed with a soft thud on the rooftop of a high-rise building. At this height, she could smell the humans. Zori wrinkled her nose in displeasure at the barrage of various scents wafting in the air. She surveyed the streets filled with rambunctious New Yorkers dressed in outrageous costumes, laughing and partying in full abandon. Zori’s heart raced as she listened to the steady stream of laughter—she couldn’t wait to join in the fun.
The best part of All Hallows’ Eve was the ability to comingle around unsuspecting people. No one would bat an eye at her tonight and those leery wouldn’t dare approach her. It was New York City, after all, and there was no place else she’d rather be tonight.
She scanned the sidewalk, waiting for the perfect moment to join the mortals undetected. A split second later, she jumped off the roof and landed in an alley. She tucked her wings in so close to her body, the skin around them burned in protest as she sauntered into the crowd of partygoers.
She blended into the nightlife, but her near nakedness drew attention. Her skin prickled and warmed in reaction to heightened senses in overdrive from the numerous pairs of eyes drinking her in, both male and female. She revelled under the frank admiration and lustful gazes, pretending not to notice while avoiding eye contact as much as possible. The last thing she wanted was for one of these lowly humans to notice the yellow gleam in her dark brown eyes.
“She’s practically naked and look at her feet!” one woman whispered to her companion.
“God, look at that body,” another man said to his group of buddies dressed as vampires. “I want some of that!”
They stood across the street, but she could hear every word. She smiled, amused by their banter. If she had more time, she’d teach the mouthy one a thing or two about respect. Her attention drifted to a popular nightclub with Halloween fanatics lined up around the block waiting to get past the purple ropes and into the exclusive party inside.
In a sea of wild bright costumes, one man dressed in an expertly tailored black suit caught her eye. She studied him as he talked to the bouncer. He was everything she liked in a one-night stand—tall, built and sexy. There was an aura of confidence and power about him that drew her in like a moth to the flame. His handsome face was visible under the streetlight, dark mahogany skin contrasting sharply against the stark white dress shirt beneath his black suit.
Zori walked forward, passing others in line as he was ushered past the purple rope. Her primary objective was now getting inside the club. She stopped right in front of the bouncer, pretending she didn’t see his hard gaze rove over her from head to toe before lingering on her talons tapping on the pavement.
“What the hell are you supposed to be?”
She flashed him a look of measured patience. “I’d like to go inside.”
“Yeah? So would half of New York.”
Zori tore her eyes away from her attractive subject, who’d disappeared into the noisy entrance to look at the beefy male in front of her. She pretended to pout, but the bouncer didn’t see it. He was too busy looking at her nipples through her shimmery translucent halter top. She pushed her breasts forward with a subtle posture change and whispered low, “I’d do anything to get in.”
The bouncer’s blue eyes darkened as his gaze raked over the rest of her. “Yeah?”
Zori stepped closer and leant forward. “Yeah.” She hid a grin as the bouncer’s eyes moved up from her generous display of cleavage.
