***

I was staring at the ceiling of Zarek’s room again. My mouth tasted like blood. God, that coppery taste was gross. I didn’t know how vampires did it.

Zarek was wrapped around me like a blanket. My head rested on his bicep, my ear pressed to his chest. The steady thumping of his heart was comforting. He was sound asleep, his breathing slow and steady. I frowned. He was cool to the touch, which meant he hadn’t fed in a while.

I wished he was warm because I was freezing, even though I was sweating profusely. My head pounded and wave after wave of nausea rolled through my gut. I ran my fingers lightly over my wounded shoulder. The skin was sealed and there was no swelling, so it hadn’t gotten infected. How long had I been out for that wound to seal?

“Not long. I gave you more of my blood to speed your healing and help fight off the poison. You have a fever because of the poison.”

My heart clenched, even though I loathed admitting it. I traced the dark circles under his eyes. “You need to feed.”

“I didn’t…”

“You didn’t what?”

He glared at me for a second before he sat up, gently lowering my head to the pillow so he could move his arm. “Nothing, damn it.”

“I’m too exhausted to debate with you. Why are you angry all of a sudden?”

He dragged a hand through his hair. “I’m angry because I’m not supposed to be this attached to you. You’re supposed to be attached to me. This shouldn’t go both ways. I’ve had blood-bonds before, and the feelings of attachment never went both ways. Sure, I liked them, and because they were mine, I liked touching them. But I care what happens to you.”

Surprise whipped through me. He paced, then leaned over me, one hand braced on the pillows. His glare turned fierce. If I hadn’t been close to delirious, I probably would have been afraid.

“And you, why should I care about you? You’d kill me if you could.”

I wasn’t so sure about that. He had saved my life. Twice. If he hadn’t given me access to his powers the first time, I was sure I would have been in for a fate worse than death. However, I didn’t like him looming over me, being an ass.

I propped myself up on my elbows; even that little move made me so dizzy my vision was a blur, but I made my threat anyway. “Get out of my face, or I might just kill you yet.”

He snorted but moved away from me. “You can’t even see straight, and you couldn’t kill me when you could.”

I lay back with a moan and rubbed my face. My head still spun, and my body was burning. I was drenched in sweat now.

I opened my eyes and was surprised when the world sharpened in focus. Zarek stared down at me, then turned and swung out his hand in anger. His desk went skidding across the room, leaving papers in its wake, though he’d never touched it.
