Chapter 16

She wasn’t kidding. Damn painful going from unexpectedly incredible sex to nothing in a matter of minutes. She was setting the pace, and glad as he was that she’d given up the fight on staying with him, she was as cold as the first day he’d met her. He understood it. Who the hell reacted well to finding out vampires existed, they’re fucking one, and oh yeah, his life principle happened to conflict with theirs on a core level that was impossible to get around.

She’d pulled up in her police-issue car that evening. It was dark, and Jonathan the valet had called as soon as she’d arrived. It was dark early in Boston during the middle of winter, and he was glad to see her only minutes after the last of the sun disappeared from the horizon. He had to hunt with Truman, and he needed all the time he could get, but he knew he wouldn’t leave until she was there safe. He was petrified for her safety.

Petrified. Since when did Angus get petrified? He wasn’t himself with her. Another pathetic byproduct of caring. Too damn bad she hated him now. But she didn’t really. He could see the pain in her eyes when she entered his residence. It was obvious in the awkward way she glanced at him, looked away, and blew a steadying breath of air from her pursed lips that held a load of heavy emotion.

“I’m sorry about this morning.” She was quiet when she spoke, looking at his chest, and in one moment, relief flooded his soul … but then she spoke again and destroyed that relief. “But I can’t … I can’t deal with … this.” Her expression held none of her harsh attitude. And he could see what a struggle it was for her to look at him.

“You mean me?” He was watching her closely. He wasn’t upset with her. He knew what he was. He knew what she was. And she was right. But it hurt. And that was not something Angus was used to.

She nodded, refusing to look at him. “I’m sorry.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. She was not at all the Brit he’d met weeks before, and he loved her soft vulnerability, but he hated her words right now.

“It’s okay, Brit. I understand.” His hands were itching to reach for her, pull her into his arms, but he clenched his jaw instead. “There’s nowhere for this to go. You’re too mortal for me, and I’m entirely too immortal for you.” He hated his own words even as he uttered them. “But I need you to understand your safety is my main concern now. And until I know you’re safe, you’re just going to have to deal with me.”

“I can’t agree with what you want to do, or help you in any way. I don’t kill murder suspects. I arrest them.”

“I know. And I won’t ask you to tell me anything more about your investigation.”

“But you’re not going to stop trying to find him … kill him.
