CHAPTER 20

RAIN

I knocked on Essence’s dorm room right after Onyx went back home. He needed to trust me to handle my situation. I didn’t need any one of them holding my hand through my own mess. I’d created it, so I was going to fix it. If Essence didn’t want to be with me, then I was going to have to deal with letting her go.

Essence opened the door for me with a look of surprise. “Rain… What are you doing here?”

“I can’t go another day without seeing you. Can I come in?”

She opened the door wider, so I could walk in. “You see me, so what do you want?”

Her beautiful face wore a frown as her thick, poignant voice was like music to my ears.

A soulful slow beat from her iPod greeted me as soon as the door was closed.

“How long are you going to stay away from me?” I asked.

“Not too much longer.”

“I need an exact time frame. We are married and we have to make our bond stronger. You have to stay by your husband’s side. Do you understand that?” I sat on a chair that was in the corner of the room.

“I love the way that sounds, Rain… However, you didn’t give me much of a choice that night when you bit me. I never asked or agreed to become…this…”

I leaned back in the chair and rubbed my chin. “I understand, but I really wish you’d get over it. I don’t want you to keep holding that over my head forever. I want you to love me the way that I love you. Right now, you’re not connecting with me the way you should. That makes me believe that you’ve broken our bond. Have you slept with anyone else, Essence?”

She didn’t blink or stutter. In fact, it was as if she had been dying to tell me the truth all along. “Yes...”

I took a deep breath and exhaled. “Why?”

She shrugged. “I just did.”

“Who is he?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

“Is he human?”

“No.”

With a deep frown, I badgered, “Another vampire?”

“Yes.”

“Does he know that you’re married?”

“Yes, he knows everything.”

I didn’t need to hear any more. There was no need to find out who this other vampire was. Instead of cutting her head off or ripping her heart out, which I could’ve done at that very moment, I fled from her dorm.
