Chapter Five

Concentration was impossible to come by at work the following night. Felicia spent too much of her afternoon trying to banish Jace from her mind, but nothing seemed to work. He was stuck there, permanently, and the only thing she could do was try to go on with her life. Soon he’d leave—she didn’t even have to question that.

It was a given.

He might try to tell her that he wanted her back for good, but why should she believe a man who’d lied to her in the past, first about being a vampire, and later about staying with her forever? He’d walked away without a word to her. If she trusted him now, she’d be nothing but a fool.

If she let herself fall in love with him all over again, she’d only wind up hurt. What was that saying her father used to recite? Something about repeating history if you didn’t learn from it? Well, she’d certainly learned her lesson with Jace. But it still hurt to think of him walking out of her life. Especially after what had happened over the past two nights.

The first night she’d been woken from a sound sleep. She hadn’t been in her right mind, not enough to tell him to stop before he had her so unbearably aroused. But last night… She had no excuse for that. He’d wanted to talk. She was the one who had insisted on not talking. On keeping whatever was between them strictly about sex. What had happened had been her fault, and though she’d loved every minute, second thoughts had barraged her in the harsh light of day.

He’d been gone when she woke, as she’d known he would be. Still, knowing didn’t help stop the emptiness taking over her heart. He said he wanted her back, but for how long? A week? A month? A year?

She scoffed. Just long enough for her to get attached all over again, and then he’d walk away.

But something inside told her this time it would be different.

She tried her best to shake off all thoughts of Jace. He was the last person she needed to think about right now, but unfortunately the only thing on her mind.

Randall was so much easier to push aside. She wanted nothing more to do with the man, and that was that.

After he’d left, she’d barely given him more than a passing thought. Jace, as usual, was a different story. He hadn’t burrowed his way into only her mind, but also into the very core of her being. In every breath, every pump of her heart, every movement of her muscles, she felt him there.

It had been like this before, too, when they’d first met. The uncontrollable passion, the lust they’d tried so hard—but never quite managed—to slake. The love that filled her heart to bursting with both bliss and bitter pain. When she’d first met Jace, she’d been a senior in college working toward degrees in liberal arts and fine arts just to make her parents happy when she really dreamed of doing nothing more than paint.
