Chapter 24

No way this happened in my bedroom. No fucking way.

Cara was still shaking as she looked at the bamboo floor where he’d just been standing. A puddle of bubbly water quivered and began to fill in two small dry patches where his feet had been. Just five seconds ago. He’d been standing there, wrapped in her bath sheet with that smirk, that satisfied smile on his face.

Is it evil that I am still attracted to this—man?

But he wasn’t a man, was he? She walked over to the puddles he’d left behind, as if they held some clue. She dropped to her knees and hesitated before she wiped it up with her towel. His towel’s mate. The towel he said he’d return and she said, “don’t bother.” She didn’t care about the damned thing. She cared about the male she’d spent the afternoon and early evening with, shared a bubble bath with. The male she allowed to violate her again.

‘I am vampire,’ he’d said. ‘Vampires exist. There are lots of them.’

He was completely delusional. Or was she? It didn’t make any sense. None of it. She lassoed her mind to focus on him, searching to see if the connection was still intact.

Are you there? No! Don’t answer that. Don’t contact me unless I call you.

A tiny flame inside her belly made her insides glow, and she had her answer. Yes, he was still there, and he could hear her.

Now what do I do? Don’t answer that, she said to him across time and space. It’s a question I have to answer for myself.

She waited. No answer. This was a good sign. She told herself it was a good sign.

Thank you, she told him mentally.

Always, mi amore, came the reply.

“No!” she screamed. “You can’t do this to me,” she said out loud to the room. She checked the ceiling, behind furniture, and in the closet. She let out the water in her tub and checked under the bed.

I am right here. At Marcus and Anne’s home. In the guest bedroom.

Stop it, she answered. Get out of my head. Go away and don’t come back unless I call you. No exceptions. My rules. We go by my rules.

There was no response.

Reassured he wouldn’t interfere unless called, Cara began to focus on her own body. The shaking began again, like she was going through some kind of withdrawal. The stress and roller coaster of her emotions had made her very tired. She knew she needed sleep.

Cara put on a white satin nightie with a fuzzy lining to take the chill off her skin. She did have the fleeting thought about one way she could instantly warm up; she could have him in her bed and immediately the shaking would stop. But the craving would continue. Her memory of his hot kisses, the feel of his limbs against hers, his chest pressing against hers, the incantations he liked to whisper to her belly were becoming hard to ignore.

She turned off all the lights, but lit a lemony votive candle beside her bed.
