Chapter Twenty-One
Lane
“Until you,” Vanessa whispered, and my eyes shot to hers. “Except, now you probably don’t want me.”
“I do want you! I want you so fucking bad. I’ve always wanted you. You’re all I think about!” I shouted. “Don’t you think for a minute that I believe you are the one at fault.”
“Then take me. Take me here, right now. Help me wipe out the past and show me how a man can make a woman feel...something besides disgust. Because when you kiss me and touch me, I don’t think about those four creeps that tortured me and tried to take me against my will. I only think of you. Can’t you see that?”
“I do.” He paused and rubbed the heel of his hand against his forehead. “But I can’t.”
“When you say you can’t, are you saying that you’re impotent?”
“Goddammit, woman! You’ve felt the hardness of my cock rubbing against you. I have no problem in that area. I just can’t deal with the fucking visions that come into my head every time I get a hard-on.”
“I’ve just bared my soul to you, Lane. Tell me about the other demons in your head.” She was on her feet now. She tilted my chin up with her finger. “Please, tell me.”
I walked away from her, grabbed another tumbler from the credenza, poured a generous three fingers of whiskey, and drank it down. I turned to her. Her beauty urging me on.
“I’m not a saint. Not by far. Quite the opposite. Tenfold. Cian and I’ve had our share of women. Even shared many. I’m not telling you this to make you jealous or anything like that.” She shook her head, understanding. “In fact, that’s how we met Jewels that night she turned us into vampires on the boat. She wanted to party, and we were willing. I’d always used sex to overcome the damage that had been done to me. Or maybe I’d become more promiscuous to prove I was a man. But after that night here at the mansion in the room with Cian, Jewels—”
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “She stole something from me that night. She took away every wall I’d built up to protect myself, leaving me naked and afraid. Definitely not manly.”
I watched Vanessa. Her eyes remained on mine. She swallowed, and I watched as the saliva slid down her throat. The throat that beckoned me to kiss it and lick it on a daily basis.
“When I was a child,” I began, but paused and changed gears a bit. “The horror of this story is no worse than yours, but different. Cian and I were always together. We did everything together…except when our father took me to the old, grey barn. Our father was a wealthy man, a man of prestige, respected and admired by many people around the village. Most were afraid of him, especially me. Large properties were common back then, and the estates would span over many acres, too many to know what was happening down at the old, grey barn.
