Chapter Fifteen

“Does Rob like the ladies?” Jenessa cornered me in the kitchen as soon as I woke up the next night.

As soon as I recovered from the tea that went into my lungs instead of my stomach, I managed to croak, “What?”

“Does he like the ladies, or does he steer the punt from the Cambridge end?” she asked, all wide eyed and earnest.

“Ah…” Not that I had a clue what she meant in the literal sense, but I kind of got the gist of it. “He prefers women to men, if that’s what you mean.”

“Are you absolutely sure?”

“Rob dated Bridget for a while when we were roommates. I can guarantee you he likes the ladies just fine.”

“Oh.” There was all manner of defeat in that one word and even though I knew I should stay out of it, I couldn’t help but ask.

“Why?”

“Because I’ve been laying down my best patter on him and he hasn’t so much as nibbled,” she said with a dramatic sigh, sinking onto one of the seats at the kitchen table.

Okay, so on the inside I was doing a happy dance, but on the outside I tried my best to sound sympathetic. “Really? You two seemed to be getting along famously when you first moved in.”

“I thought so too, but ever since then, he almost seems to walk away whenever I’m near.”

“Maybe it’s a self control thing. He’s going through a lot of changes right now. Maybe he doesn’t trust himself around you.”

“I wouldn’t mind if he had a taste.”

Ick, ick, eewh… For the love of God, make the mental pictures go away… I clutched the mug so hard the handle snapped off in my hand, and I rose to put it in the sink before she noticed. “I thought you were um, interested in rekindling things with Mac, or wasn’t there that guy in Seattle you mentioned?”

“I’m not much into long distance relationships,” she shrugged. “Besides, Rob’s even sexier now that he’s a vampire. You’ve honestly never seen him that way?”

“Ah…” Frak, what was I supposed to say now? My ears scanned the house hoping someone was nearby to rescue me from having to answer, but Maggie was poking around in her room and Lee snored softly in his. Even Hanna was watching TV quietly in my sitting room downstairs. No such luck. “I don’t know, what can I say? He’s probably the best friend I have right now.” Not a lie… “Starting anything extra with him would probably get complicated.” Definitely not a lie… “Besides, I have both Jakob and Bishop interested in me, I’m not looking for any more complications right now.”

“Then you don’t mind if I keep trying?”

I turned away from the sink, my head tilting to one side as I studied her. Jenessa had an elegant beauty about her that I could never hope to achieve. Why she felt the need to pursue these men was beyond me. “Um… excuse me for being blunt, but why would you want to? If
