It was well into the night, and Gavin was still rattling on about Mary Anne and Chloe’s ancestors.

After Chloe agreed to come back inside, Gavin avoided any intimate conversation involving her old life in Atlanta and her abusive ex-lover. Gavin wasn’t sure he could talk sensibly on the subject as he still felt his blood boil with rage over the way Chloe had been treated. If he could have done anything about it, he would have. Gavin had strict moral boundaries when it came to killing humans, but for this, he would have made an exception.

Gavin was surprised when Chloe agreed to join him on the couch. He’d had the distinct impression that she was no longer comfortable with him after they came back from the creek, and he knew exactly why.

Explaining how he became a vampire must have struck a chord in her that she did not expect. For a while, he suspected that she regretted asking the questions that weighed so heavily on her mind.

But he was even more surprised when a few hours had passed and she scooted closer to him on the sofa. When she leaned her head against his shoulder, he was too terrified to move. If he showed any discomfort or unease, she might have moved away and taken the radiant light of her company with her.

With his arm slung over the back of the couch, he let his hand drop down to gently caress her upper arm and shoulder. Instead of waking her up, Chloe burrowed deeper into his side and laid her hand across his abs.

Gavin’s lips separated as he watched her for a while, waiting for her to snap out of her dream world and realize the nightmare she had curled up against.

An immeasurable amount of time passed, but she didn’t budge. Gavin became entranced by her heartbeat, slow and steady, but strong just like her family line. He could also smell her blood, so near.

It would have been easy for him to bite through her tender flesh and make a meal of her right then and there. The squirrel he had fed on before they
