“Are you sure there’s nothing else you wanted to tell me?” she pried gently. I shook my head—a little too quickly—and turned toward the door.

“I’m just tired,” I told her, the wounds on my neck throbbing with ache. “I’m going to turn in early.”

“Okay—knock on the wall if you need anything, okay?” She indicated the wall that stood between our rooms. I nodded and left, thoughts already a million miles away.

I promptly ran into Tommie.

“Whoa!” she grinned as the door shut behind me. She held onto my shoulders—I’d smacked into her hard—and looked down at me with a bemused grin. “Do you always assault people?” she chuckled, rubbing her jaw where my shoulder had hit her.

“I’m so sorry!” I murmured in horror, gazing up at her bright, flashing eyes, and her incredibly handsome features. Despite myself, my heart began beating a little faster.

“I just came to see if you were all right,” said Tommie, one brow up. “Are you?”

All right from what? The almost-drowning this morning? The fact that the vampires I’d now realized I was living with had wanted to vote on if I could stay or not? The fact that Mags had appeared at that “meeting” seemingly just to threaten me?

“I’m fine,” I lied again. Remember, I’m a terrible liar. Her brows rose even higher at that, and then she was grinning at me, shaking her head a little as she shoved her hands into her pants pockets, her sharp, shoulder-length black hair seeming to curve toward me.

“I also came to see if you were hungry. What with the vampire blood coursing through you and all, I figured you might be.” Her head was a little to the side, the brim of her fedora pushed back on her forehead so her eyes could appraise me. My breath caught as she bore the full weight of her intense gaze down on me.

“I could eat,” I told her, the words hanging between us.

“Great. There’s pizza down in the kitchens,” she said, tossing her head toward my room door, but not actually at my room—in the direction of the kitchens somewhere in this sprawling house, I realized.

“Oh.” She stood there considering me—I hadn’t realized she’d wanted to go with me (though why I didn’t realize it is beyond me—I was thinking of too many other things). And I didn’t want to go with her to the kitchens. The reason that moved through me so quickly I almost didn’t feel its absoluteness, was that I didn’t want to chance Kane seeing me with Tommie.

It was absurd. I was attracted to Tommie, but surely she wasn’t attracted to me. Kane wouldn’t think anything if I was with Tommie, and what if she did? I wasn’t Kane’s, and Kane certainly wasn’t mine. I was intensely attracted to Kane, wanted to get to know her better, wanted to be merely in her presence, but that didn’t mean anything.

I realized my fingernails were digging into the palms of my hands as I considered what Tommie had just said.
