"Lily, don't make me say it twice." Lestat's voice barely wavered, but the tone had taken on a hint of impatience.

Lilly was a little annoyed and stared at Alice with an increasingly grim expression. But she seemed rather scandalised by Lestat and didn't disobey him, dropping Alice with a look of disgust almost as she swung back to Lestat.

Alice stumbled a little before she could stand, rubbing her neck in depression. Not to mention the pain, and I wondered if it would leave a mark.

The last time Lestat had strangled her, he hadn't actually hit her hard enough to leave a mark, but this Lily, or whatever her name was, had clearly shown no mercy, and her throat was so hot and sore that even the cold air tingled as it passed by.

Noticing a measuring glance, Alice looked up to see Lestat staring at her, her eyes sweeping over her evening gown.
