Chapter 13

This isn’t real.

It was Jessica’s first thought as she woke, face tucked into the crook made by Logan’s arm, neck, and chest, one of her legs draped casually over his hip. Sure her body felt whole—though admittedly sore—but her mind was definitely slipping. She knew when it had started to go. Something had happened with that first kiss. A wall blocking some well-guarded emotion crumbled, exposing a selfish sliver. She let that sliver taint her, allowing emotion to overwhelm her, and to overlook her misgivings. Allowing her to dismiss what her own eyes told her as she watched the grainy video. She’d brushed her concerns away, making excuses for taking what she wanted and initiating the second kiss. And then she fought tooth and nail against logic and doubt as the passion she’d unleashed had erupted into hours and hours of lovemaking.

Lovemaking. She didn’t do love. If one loved they could hurt and right now she was in for a world of it. She’d thought when it was over, when the passion subsided and she’d taken her fill, she could turn from Logan. Tuck in the shreds of her self-respect, gather her emotions and walk away. But she could deny it no longer. She was truly, irrevocably compromised and there was nothing she could do about it.

The barriers between her and her memories had fallen. She remembered. Maybe not everything, but enough to know that the man she’d made love to, who’d pleaded with her for his trust, had already broken hers. Somehow, someway, he’d stolen her memories. And though her head screamed at the wrongness of it all and her heart howled in agony, there was a sick part of her that just didn’t give a fuck.

“Mine,” she whispered, fingers digging into the hard muscles of his chest.

Logan murmured a “hmmm,” his arms closing tighter around her, pulling her closer. Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes as she realized what she said and was smacked upside the head with the insanity of it all. She knew she had to pull away. In her mind she pulled away, slipped out of the bed, grabbed up her clothes and evidence and snuck from the house, but the part of her that wanted to believe in Logan, in them, stayed.

She could not set the wheels in motion that would turn this man in. The man she’d made love to, the one curled around her with such tenderness, was not a criminal. True there was no explaining some of the things she thought she saw him do, just as there was no explanation for the serious case of brain-fog or the warped sense of knowing she’d experienced since Logan entered her life.

There were also no such things as vampires and demons. People couldn’t wipe out other people’s memories. And words such as kismet and soul mates were the types of things you found in one of her sister’s cheesy romance novels, not real life.

Nope, the only explanation for the warped
