Chapter 6

Margery let the near-scorching water from her showerhead pound her shoulders and back as she stood under the steady fall of water. The pain from the silver poisoning had almost diminished. She was exhausted and a little jittery but she finally felt safe in her own home. Especially since Rex had come back with her. The sexy male’s presence was incredibly reassuring.

Though she didn’t want to get out, she’d been in here too long and couldn’t keep avoiding the very concerned vampire waiting in her living room. On the drive back to the compound he’d kept her tight in his lap and she hadn’t been inclined to move because his warmth and strength wrapped around her had been exactly what she’d needed. Especially with that unknown male vampire still on the loose.

Rex was proving to be sweeter than she’d thought. Not to mention he was incredibly protective. Something that had never been a huge turn on for her before. But she liked the way he’d taken charge after finding her. He’d done exactly what she’d asked by telling Grant she didn’t want to see anyone. And he hadn’t asked a ton of questions or tried to tell her that she needed her pack for support right now. A shifter male would have done just that. But Rex let her take back the control she’d lost without being pushy.

He was just so damn kind and concerned. Which should set off her alarm bells. She knew the vampire wanted to get her into bed. But she wanted him naked too and she knew he would never hurt her. She knew it was time to stop hiding behind her past, especially since the pull she felt toward him was the mating pull. She couldn’t deny it any longer, even if she’d wanted to. So far Rex had been nothing but honest and honorable. It was just so damn hard to let go of something she’d been using as a crutch for so many years.

Sighing at herself, she shut off the shower and got out. After drying her hair until it was damp, she changed into short black and pink pajama bottoms with dogs on them and a pink tank top. Talia had gotten her the pajamas as a Christmas present, thinking the dogs were funny.

When Margery stepped out into the hall, she jerked to a halt to find Rex leaning against the wall just as she’d left him earlier. He was still rumpled and dirty and she could smell faint traces of butter. “Didn’t you want to take a shower?” she asked.

He shook his head, that hazel gaze raking over the length of her body and making her nipples bead. “I wanted to make sure you were okay and…didn’t want to leave you unguarded.”

His words stunned her speechless for a long moment but she finally found her voice as she crossed her arms over her breasts. “Have you been waiting out here the whole time?”

He nodded, his expression unreadable.

It bothered her that she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
