Chapter 7

HAILE

The rain lashes at us when we get outside. Cal guides me by locking my hand in his and dragging me up and down the grass banks behind Tia’s home. I clutch my spell kit closer to protect it. Huddling as near to Cal as I can.

I’m totally soaked through and it’s only been two minutes.

“Cal, what’s going on. Why are we going this way?”

“I thought I saw something.”

“Vampires?”

When Cal doesn’t answer I try to look back, but the rain makes it difficult. It’s pelting fast now and all I can do is hurry after him and try not to slip.

We take the long way around the lake. I’m shaking and shivering by the time we get back to the road, shoes crippling me, when Cal just turns and scoops me up in his arms. I put my head in the crook of his neck without thinking. It just fits there perfectly. I’m hyper aware of the smell of his skin, all vanilla and warm spices, and I suppress the urge to nibble him.

It’s like I’m feral or something.

Damn, why is this man having such an effect on me?

We get to the car and Cal opens my side first for me to climb in. He’s in the driver’s seat and starting the car up before I can get my seatbelt plugged. Cal is acting weird, checking the rearview mirror and driving so fast my stomach flutters. Though there's a good chance my tummy flips could also be a reaction to the kiss he just gave me.

We’re about thirty minutes into the drive back, when I recognize the roads.

“We’re going back to yours? I thought we were heading to the hotel?”

“Change of plans. We’re being followed. I’m going to try to lose them in the storm and then we’ll head back to mine. I need to change. You too, you’re shivering.” He reaches forward and cranks up the heating.

Going back to Cal’s wasn’t what I was expecting, but I’m not complaining. I’m not in any rush to get the hotel. In fact, I feel much safer with the warlock around.

Is that true? Or do you just want to spend more time with him, Haile?

I push that thought somewhere to the back of my mind while trying to see behind us. With the rain as heavy as it is, it’s hard to see out. I glance at Cal. “Someone is following us? Who?” He doesn’t reply. Instead, he grips the steering wheel like it might fall off, staring at the roads around us as though our lives depend on it.

I suppose it does.
