If anyone ever made a vampire sitcom, the meeting between Renz and Mirren would be an episode all by itself. Aidan chuckled as he walked home through the sub-suite tunnel at about three a.m. He’d dropped Renz and his fam off at one of the clinic sub-suites, down the hall from Krys.

He’d warned Mirren that they were coming, but it hadn’t helped. The big guy sat through the twenty-minute ordeal wearing his stone-gargoyle face, arms crossed over his chest, answering Renz’s questions with a full repertoire of grunts and vague, monosyllabic replies. Thank God Renz had a good sense of humor.

“You don’t like to talk about your past, do you, Mr. Kincaid?” he’d finally asked.

Mirren fixed him with a look that would freeze icebergs. “You think?”

It had been his longest sentence of the night.

Aidan emerged from the tunnel into his greenhouse and stopped to pick one of the hibiscus blooms. They’d forever remind him of Krys.

She’d brought two emotions to life in him: wonderment and loneliness. The first was a new one for him; the second hadn’t tormented him in so long that it had taken him a while to recognize the empty, longing feeling.

Krys was at the crux of everything. When he was with her, he couldn’t imagine letting her go, even if he had to keep her locked up for the rest of her life. Screw the guilt, as long as he got to be with her, talk to her—hell, even listen to her advice, for God’s sake.

Once he was away from her, as now, his brain would start working instead of his dick. Listening to her talk about her father earlier this evening, and piecing that together with some of the things he knew from her school records, he wondered why he’d been so arrogant as to think he could uproot her life, lock her up, and make her want to stay in Penton. She’d worked hard to stand on her own and escape being under a man’s control.

The great Aidan Murphy, savior of abused and addicted humans. Arrogant ass with a God complex, Owen had called him. It awed him that Krys not only had survived what he’d done to her, but also seemed to have become stronger through it. He could just as easily have broken her spirit so badly she’d never have recovered.

He should take her home, but he couldn’t. And not just because of Owen, but because, at heart, he was a selfish prick. He hadn’t felt happy in so long that those minutes with her, the feel of her desire, was something he didn’t have the courage to give up.

He left the greenhouse and approached the front of his house, growing still as he picked up subtle movement in the dense row of ligustrum in front of his porch. A figure moved slightly away from the shadows, enough for him to get a clear look.

Lucy.

He sniffed the heavy night air, making sure that she hadn’t led Owen here, intentionally or not. He
