Chapter Four

When she opened her eyes, Damien was pulling back, licking something that she realized after a moment of hazy staring must have been blood from his lips. He smiled, and she saw fangs, slim and curved, sharp as needles. She should have been terrified, but there was only the warm lassitude of afterglow, and she was more fascinated than afraid, staring up into blue eyes.

"I didn't think vampires were real," she said after a moment.

His grin was slow and sharp-edged and wicked.

"Now," he said, "you know."

The obvious next question was whether or not he was going to kill her, but he'd already told her that, hadn't he? I promise that I will not harm you. Before he'd bitten her, she might have thought of that as potential harm, but it had been anything but painful.

"So the ghosts…?"

"Are only me," he agreed, shifting to lay alongside her so he could pull her jacket off, then sitting up and taking one of her feet in his hands, undoing the laces of her shoes with motions faster and smoother than she could imagine a human managing. "And the owner is not a distant relative of the family, but the son who inherited the home before his seeming death at the front. I have passed it down to a series of imaginary beneficiaries over the years."

Her shoes were off and her socks with them, but the room was warmed by the fire and she wasn't cold. His fingers unfastened the catch of her jeans, but did not take them down yet.

"Why not live openly here then, as one of the relatives?"

"I've been waiting," he said, sitting back and meeting her eyes. "For the last of those who remember me to be gone. Soon, though, I will make my triumphant return." He smiled at her. "Sooner rather than later, I think. There is someone I would very much like to see again."

Lily felt heat paint her cheeks.

"We haven't said goodbye yet," she pointed out.

"No," Damien agreed. "And won't, until dawn."

Lily was pretty sure she was okay with that. She arched up toward him as he leaned down to kiss her, and while his hands skimmed her jeans down her legs she began unbuttoning his shirt. Her own touch was clumsier than his, not so fast, but he didn't take over for her. Instead he pulled back long enough to take her shirt off over her head, Lily pausing and lifting her arms for it, and then his mouth was on hers again. When the kiss broke once more, he paused to pull his shirt off, dropping it carelessly over the side of the bed.

"If you say no," he said, reaching out and curling his hand around her neck, pressing just enough to let her feel the touch, but not enough that he cut off her breath. His thumb stroked circles over her pulse point on the opposite side of her neck from the place he had bitten. "I will stop."

Lily wondered what was coming
