Chapter Twenty-One

Laura stood beneath the hot spray of the shower, allowing the tears to fall freely from her eyes.

Gina Calimari would kill her parents if Shon didn’t return with Vlad’s heart. Laura refused to stand back and let that bitch hurt anyone else that she loved.

Laura stilled as the reality of her thoughts hit her square in the heart. Did she truly love Shon? She did, she realized, closing her eyes in resignation. She had since high school.

Why had it taken her so long to admit her feelings to herself? she wondered, watching the water swirl around her feet.

She’d grown up watching Shon bounce from female to female, never staying with the same one for more than a week.

After years of sleepless nights and jealousy-induced dreams, Laura had finally come to the conclusion that Shon Wells wasn’t meant for her. Until recently, when she’d uncovered the truth about her mother’s deception.

Shon had apparently had feelings for Laura as well.

Pain welled up in her heart over the years she’d lost with Shon. Where would they be now had her mother not interfered? She didn’t know, nor did it matter at this point. He was a vampire now. There could be no turning back. She couldn’t spend the rest of her life watching him remain young and sexy while she aged and eventually died.

With a sigh of resignation, Laura finished her shower and climbed out to dry off.

She dressed in the clothes Shon had recently peeled off her, minus the bra. It lay in pieces next to the bed they’d made love in.

Running her fingers through her damp hair, Laura trailed off toward the kitchen in search of Shon, only to find him gone.

A once-again hooded Vlad stood in the same place she’d left him half an hour before. “Where’s Shon?”

“He left.”

Her heart began to pound. “Left? But where? It’s almost daylight.”

“He didn’t say. But he left you a note.” Vlad nodded to a folded piece of paper on the bar.

Laura snatched up the note and quickly opened it. Nausea nearly crippled her as she read the words written on the page. Laura, last night was a mistake. It should have never happened. I’m going to get your parents and send them someplace safe. I would like for you to be gone before I return. It’ll be less awkward for us both. Shon.

Laura dropped the note and swayed on her feet. Shon had used her. He’d slept with her and walked away as if she meant nothing to him.

“Is everything all right?” Vlad asked, staring at her from beneath his shadowed hood.

“I…” Laura’s voice failed her. She couldn’t seem to speak around the lump in her throat.

She turned and fled to the room Shon had so thoroughly loved her in not long ago.

Repacking her clothes, Laura shouldered her bag and staggered down the hall toward the front door.

“Where are you going?”

She paused with her hand on the knob. “As far away from here as I can get.”

Jerking open the door, she rushed toward the stairs without bothering to close it behind her.
