Cassie couldn’t stop nervously ringing her hands as she paced before her window. She glanced back at Devon, who was still sleeping, his arm tossed over the spot that she had recently vacated. Though she had only gotten a couple hours of sleep, she was wide awake. The sun would be up soon, Annabelle and Liam might also be here soon.

She didn’t know how she felt about that. Though she didn’t want to leave here, she wanted to get this encounter over and done with. The sooner it was over, the sooner she could be with Devon again. Her skin crawled, her chest constricted at the thought of being apart from him for any significant length of time. If it hadn’t been for the irrational anger fueling her, she never would have made it through the two weeks without him. How would she get through it now, when she wasn’t angry?

In fact, she was terrified. Terrified of losing him, terrified of what she was now, and what she could become. What if something happened and he wasn’t there to pull her back, and Annabelle was also unable to? She would be lost forever, a monster, a danger to everyone around her. A danger to everyone she loved. Cassie shuddered, wrapping her arms around herself as she stared down at the deserted street.

And then there was Annabelle herself. She didn’t know how to feel about meeting the woman that had so drastically changed Devon. The woman that had made him the man he was now. Though he had never truly loved her, Annabelle had been a huge impact on his life, and she was very special to him.

Cassie tried hard not to feel jealous, but she couldn’t help it. Leaning forward, she rested her fingers lightly against the glass of the window, enjoying the cool feel of it. Arms wrapped around her waist causing a small cry of surprise to escape her. He had been completely silent in his approach. Devon hugged her tight, pressing her back firmly against his chest. He nuzzled her neck gently, his lips brushing over the fresh marks on her neck. Cassie shivered in response, desire curled her toes. Her skin tingled all over; a feeling of rightness stole through her as his touch soothed her.

“Are you ok?” he inquired softly.

“Yes.”

He ran his hands over her stomach, kissing her softly once more. “Couldn’t sleep?”

She shook her head as she melted against him, savoring in his strength and comfort. She could stay like this forever, but they had such a short amount of time. “No.”

He was silent as he held her, gently swaying her slightly back and forth. Lights splayed across the road, lighting the street as a vehicle turned onto it. Cassie stiffened as the silver Cadillac Escalade pulled to a stop in front of the house and doused the lights. “They’re here,” Devon said softly.

Cassie managed a small nod, fighting back the anxiety and fear that clutched at her. “Yes.”

The doors popped open, interior light flooded the car.
