I sat across from Vegas, finishing my wine, as I pretended to not watch every single expression on her face. It was hard to not feel a small amount of satisfaction at her amused expression caused by whatever she was reading on my tablet. Her soft plush lips kept turning up in a smile as those bright eyes lit up. I mentally groaned at her unintentional sexiness before I forced myself to look down at my newspaper.

The woman was driving me mad. She was so fucking confusing.

On one hand, I wanted to be pissed at her. I almost wanted to hate her because it would have been easier. It had always been easier for me to push people away and scoff at their concern for my well-being. I knew it was cold, but I had been doing it successfully for most of my life, even to Edwin. It was far easier than the pain of accepting someone into your life and having them leave.

On the other hand, I couldn’t exactly do that anymore, could I? Our team would be ineffective if we didn’t foster some kind of a relationship, right? My attempts to keep a relative emotional distance from her as well as the others was, overall, an absolute failure. A glorious disaster. A fucking train wreck. What the hell did I know about friendships, or family? Shit. I barely knew what a healthy relationship looked like. So, yeah. I was screwed.

Vegas didn’t give me much of a choice, either. She didn’t want anything in halves. If you were part of her family, she wanted all of you.

She had always been that way.

I just wish she understood that I didn’t have anything more to give.

When I had heard her come upstairs yesterday, stepping into the only space I actually considered my own, I had been very confused. Not even Edwin came up there unless it was an emergency like Sunday night. Vegas, though? She walked right up and called out for me as if she had every right to. I suppose, in a way, she did.

Being the creep I was, I stayed hidden in the shadows near the opposite end of the attic where I had been searching for something in my assortment of antique chests. My eyes had narrowed in on her pulse that beat a sweet, almost nervous tune. I couldn’t even describe to you how much my power encouraged me to connect with her. To taste her. It was all I could do to not fucking attack her like some mad man.

Then I had felt guilty because of my horrible behavior the night before in Edwin’s office. Of course, she wouldn’t want me anywhere near her after that. So, why in the hell had she come up there? I considered the possibility that she wanted to talk about how I had yelled at my brother. That alone made me see red. That was the problem though, wasn’t it? It really had nothing to do with her agreeing with Edwin and had everything to do with my insecurities.
