Truth was, I did have curtains for the big block of windows; I just never used them. Technically they weren’t hotel-quality blackout curtains, but they worked when I needed them to. I probably should have used them more often, but for some reason I didn’t have any problems sleeping during the day with just the regular blinds drawn. I didn’t need that much sleep anyway, so when I fell asleep at six a.m. and woke at one-thirty p.m., I was totally rested.

My cell was almost dead when I checked it. A few angry texts from Aden replying to the message I’d sent him from Kellan’s car. He really had no idea who Kellan was, but I had a hard time explaining him to my brother. By my casual comments, I had passed Kellan off as just a hookup, casual sex thing, and as a guy himself, he sort of understood. But he also knew I was still entangled with Ryder, and while he would never ‘tell’ on me to him, I definitely had some ’splainin’ to do.

I shot off a quick text to Aden, telling him I needed to see him, and then plugged it into the charger. I stalked to the bathroom for a much-needed shower. As I stripped off the clothes I’d slept in—and by clothes I mean the leather pants and bra, I kicked the door shut, and then stepped into the steamy shower, groaning as the hot water pounded my back and head.

So much had happened last night. I used a double dose of shampoo to make sure all the vampire blood—or was it demon blood?—was out of my hair, and then scrubbed my body clean into oblivion. I had a busy evening ahead of me. After what my blackout-vision had showed me of what Alexander was up to, he was gonna die tonight. Fuck all this pussyfooting around. If I had to break into his house and kill him and everyone in the house, I was gonna do it and be done with it.

Once I was as clean as I was gonna get, I stepped out and wrapped my hair in a towel, then another around my body. I could hear my cell ringing from the kitchen, but I paid it no mind.

Once I was dried off and dressed, I blow-dried my hair and then pinned it up into a messy bun before stalking to the kitchen to get something to eat for my grumbling belly.

The fridge and pantry were both in a sad state, so I grabbed my little purse and keys and headed out the door for some coffee and food. I took the stairs down two at a time, and once I reached the lobby, I smiled and waved at the resident security guard, Tim, and stalked out into the late afternoon sunshine.

As I walked to the local grocery, I thought about my night with Kellan. How awful it would be not to be able to feel the sun on my face. And why was he living in a state that had over 300 days of sun a year? That was just dumb.
