I don't know how long I sat there before Dimitri showed up. "She fed from you," he said from the door.

I looked up at him, the world fuzzy.

"Dimitri," I whispered.

"She took too much." He blurred across the room, stopping in front of me.

"I can handle it," I said. Who was he to tell me my best friend was a bad vampire? Arrogant, sexy, dead man. I hiccuped a laugh.

"You can't handle it. You are a human. Weak and fragile."

I looked up at him, hardening my gaze. "You don't know me."

A smile twisted his lips, but it did not extend to his eyes. "Megan is young and does not know how to keep you. If you were mine, I'd never let this happen."

I tried to stand, to show him I wasn't some weak little human, but I didn't get far. He caught me, his face suddenly close. He was looking at my neck. "She left a mark." He shook his head. "Such a shame."

"It's none of your concern.”

"Calm down," he said, and I instantly felt numb again.

"Boring," I said.

His eyes leaped to mine, his brows raising. "Boring?"

"This numbness you're giving me," I said, his lips close to mine. "It's boring."

"What would you like?" he asked, a sly smile crossing his lips. I didn't answer, just looked at his mouth, remembering how good it felt to suck on his lips.

His influence receded, seeming to flow out of me, and in its wake my own emotions tumbled out, tearing through me, too fast, too many. I squeezed my eyes shut, pain crashing over me. "Is that boring?" he asked, his voice laced with amusement.

"It hurts," I choked.

"How very human of you."

"Fuck you," I gritted, trying to push away from him, but he held me tight, his fingers wrapped around my arms.

"You need a bath." He swung me up into his arms, cradling me like a child. I didn't fight him. Hot tears pooled in my eyes and started down my cheeks. I turned my face into his chest and let the sobs come. "Shh," he said. "If you're going to cry like this, how will I trust you with your own feelings?” He shook his head. "If you were mine, this would not be so."

"I wish I was mine," I said into his chest, my fingers bunching in his shirt.

He stopped, and I felt him looking down at me. I peeked a glance at him, sniffling. His eyes flashed gray, and he licked his lips. "What did you say?" he asked, his voice low. I didn't answer. "You wish you were mine?" His voice filled with something that sounded a lot like hope.

"I wish I was mine," I said. "That I belonged to me."

His lips tightened, and his eyes shuttered. "This is the wrong world for that.”

Hunger thrummed through me, and I reached up, as if a force field pulled me, and ran my fingers into his hair. Dimitri’s grip grew tighter as his lips reached mine. A leap of energy jumped from him to me.
