He slips from the bed and the girl doesn’t stir. She won’t wake for hours, he knows. The ones he feeds from never do.

In silence, he pulls on his pants and then crosses to the window. Evening light teases at the edges of the thick curtains. He pushes aside the fabric and looks down at the manor grounds three floors below. The grass is painted with gold and long shadows stretch from the trees. Over the hills, the sun hovers on the verge of setting. The sky is a swath of pinks and yellows more vivid than any picture could capture.

He wishes Cait could see it.

A grimace twists his face. This should have been easier. He’s been doing this since he was twelve and, after all the energy he’d output over the past few days, he hadn’t had any choice but to feed. It shouldn’t have been a problem.

Except it was.

Except he couldn’t stop thinking about Cait. Her body, moving with his. Her face, overcome by what he was doing to her. Her skin, slicked with sweat and softer than silk beneath his hands. Autopilot alone had gotten him through feeding on this girl whose name he doesn’t even know, but the entire time…

Damn, he wishes it’d been Cait in that bed.

His forearm braces him against the window frame. Sex has never mattered. He’s never seen it the way humans do; never had the chance. It’s energy he takes in because he has to. Desire has little to do with it beyond what he can elicit in others. And sure, he never wants to hurt anyone, never tries to lead anybody on, and it’s in his best interest to make sure the people he’s with have a good time. But ultimately, for him it’s empty.

Until Cait.

His eyes close. He misses her. The simple act of feeding brought that home more intensely than he could have dreamed. It’s hardly been more than a day since last he saw her, but for some reason, that makes no difference. This strange, alien ache inside him has grown stronger by the hour, till it’s as powerful as any hunger he’s ever felt. He’s craving her, but in this way where he knows sex with her is only part of what he’s longing for. In this way where it’s almost excruciating not to know when he’ll get to hold her in his arms again.

Or if she’ll still be okay when he does.

His brow furrows tightly. He called Brett hours ago. He hadn’t hinted that he’d made another deal with Lucretia, or that his concern was anything more than the simple practicality of avoiding a possible attack in the middle of a campus neighborhood, but he’d still managed to get the guy to agree to find Cait and Ruby and let them stay at Temptation. Between Brett, Rafael, the mercenaries, and all the defenses around that place, he’d done everything short of putting her and Ruby in a fortress. Lucretia wouldn’t be able to double-cross him while Cait and her friend were there.
