“YOU’VE BEEN HOLDING out on us.” Jake stared at the Exit door where Viv had just disappeared.

Garret shook his head. “It’s not like that, man.”“Isn’t it?” Jake arched an eyebrow and gave Garret a knowing look. Not because he’d actually witnessed the wet and wild bump and grind.

He hadn’t.

Garret had felt his fellow vampires long before they’d keyed in the security code and opened the outer doorway.

No, Jake knew because of Garret.

Because he was staring at him right now, and he could see the brightness that lingered in his gaze. The tension in his body. The hunger that radiated from him, along with a shimmer of heat. He wasn’t anywhere close to starting another fire thanks to the douse of water and the arrival of his friends, but he was still worked up.

“Who is she?” Jake asked.

“A freelance reporter.” When Jake didn’t look the least bit satisfied, Garret shrugged. “Just somebody I used to know. A long, long time ago.”

“Vampire?” The question came from Nikki. Her lips hinted at a grin and curiosity danced in her excited expression. Garret nodded and she added, “No wonder you’re not interested in a fix-up. Donna Sue’s got a pretty big dose of sex appeal and can give the hotties in this town a run for their money, but she doesn’t have anything close to vamp charisma.”

“So you like this woman?” It was Meg’s turn.

“No.” Like didn’t begin to touch what he felt for Viv Darland.

Disappointment? Definitely.

Resentment? Ditto.

Fear? A little.

Lust? A shitload.

But that was it.

Nothing else. Nothing powerful.

He ignored the small voice that insisted otherwise and shifted his attention to Dillon.

The younger vampire stared at the Exit door before his gaze slid back to Garret. You are so busted gleamed loud and clear. The younger vamp opened his mouth for confirmation, but Garret spoke first.

“Don’t ask.”

Dillon shrugged. “Hey, your sex life is your own business.”

“They didn’t have sex.” Meg nudged him. Excitement lit her face and her eyes swiveled to Nikki. “Did they?”

Nikki looked at Jake. “Honey?”

“Garret?” Jake arched an eyebrow.

“I’m out of here.” Garret turned and reached for his keys.

“We’ll take that as a yes,” Nikki’s amused voice followed him to the doorway.

“A big fat yes,” Meg added.

If only.

Garret shook off a pang of disappointment. He wasn’t having sex with Viv Darland. He wasn’t.

His head knew that, but his damned body didn’t seem to be getting the message.

His groin throbbed, and his muscles ached. Hunger twisted at his insides, fighting and clawing for sustenance.

He tamped down on the urge to find the nearest woman and end the torment eating away at him. He could, but that would mean breaking his vow, and he wasn’t about to do that.

He’d held out this long, and he wasn’t caving now. No sex. Not with Viv. Not with any woman.

Not until he’d reclaimed his humanity.

In the meantime, Garret did what he’d been doing for the past few months when the need grew too great. He headed home to chug a few bags of blood and climb into an ice-cold shower.
