Chapter 14

Above all things, I have always valued strength in men. I'm not the woman who wants someone to sit beside her on the couch and share a box of tissues over a weepy movie. I'm the woman who wants to turn off the movie and get rear-ended on the couch so the guy can go home early. I've always equated physical strength with emotional distance.

Perhaps wrongly.

I knew that Milo could ring my bell as well as any guy I had ever been with, but here he was now, comforting me and kissing away my tears. I felt... I felt like a girl. Something I hadn't felt like for a long time. Part of being a vampire was always being strong, not letting those emotions in, and certainly not letting other people see them.

But perhaps a strong woman is also one who can let others see them at their most vulnerable. And a strong man is one who doesn't abandon a woman in those moments, but is there with her to be her rock, with no ulterior motive.

At three hundred and forty-eight years old, I still had a lot to learn, and I was learning a surprising amount from these guys.

"Sorry," I muttered, as I wiped my eyes.

"What the hell are you sorry for?"

"I'm not this person."

Milo smiled. "I think, for the first time, I might be seeing the person you are."

"Oh fuck, I've wandered into a teen romance movie."

Milo laughed. "I guess you're that girl, too. The one who wouldn't touch soppy romance with an eighteen-foot pole. But that doesn't mean you have to deny your humanity."

"I'm not human."

"That's a very good point. But maybe there's more human left in you than you think."

I kissed him, on the lips.

"What was that for?"

"Being a good guy."

"Now who sounds like a teen romance?"

We laughed and kissed again. Our eyes met, and in Milo's sky blue gaze, I saw a depth of feeling I was not sure I had ever seen in a man before. There was more there than a man who wanted me, more even than a man who loved me. This was a man who cared about me, and that was something else again. In my life, even before I was turned, there had never been anyone to look out for me, it had always been me versus the world, and I had gotten used to it being that way. I had gathered other lost souls like Max and Layla to me, so I had others to care for, not wanting them to go through what I had. But now I had Milo, and one look in those eyes told me that here was someone who would not just listen to my woes and kiss away my tears, but someone who would give his life for me without even thinking about it. It was a look that I knew I would see in the eyes of Gage and Kael, too. So much had gone down, we had been on
