They needed to talk, Santo acknowledged grimly as the coffee machine spat out the last of its brew. He’d known that was true as he’d watched Pet walk away up the hall, her expression shuttered. For a minute, when she’d bypassed the nearer bathroom and disappeared around the corner toward her room, he’d feared she’d recognized his lie when he’d told her how his children had died. He’d feared that after being so open and honest about her desire to have a child but her belief she wouldn’t now, his lie had upset her so much she might close herself in her bedroom and not return. The thought had made his chest constrict with panic, and then he’d heard the bathroom fan turn on, followed by the sound of a door closing, and his common sense had returned. She wouldn’t just leave him to see himself out. She was going to the bathroom.

But it had made Santo think. She was his life mate, his chance for peace and happiness and a life less lonely. With her, he could have incredible passion, a family, his other half. Knowing that, he could never just walk away from her. But Pet could. She was mortal and didn’t know any of that. She had no idea how wonderful life could be for them. To her, he was just a guy she had admitted she found attractive and whom she’d experienced a taste of passion with. And it might not even be more passion than she’d experienced with mortal men. They hadn’t yet enjoyed the full-blown passion they could have together. Pet hadn’t touched him other than to put her arms around his neck that first time in the Caprellis’ kitchen, and he hadn’t let her touch him here earlier tonight. Knowing Parker was nearby and that the pizza delivery would show up soon, Santo had deliberately kept her from touching him to keep them both from losing control. That being the case, he had no doubt Pet could just walk away from him at this point.

He needed to change that. He needed to let her get to know him. And he needed to tell her the truth about how his children had died. Fire had been a part of it, but it had been so much worse than just a house fire. So bad, in fact, Santo had never been able to bring himself to talk about it, to anyone. Not even his mother knew the full extent of what had happened that day, and she knew more than most. But he could hear Marguerite’s voice in his head telling him he needed to talk to Pet and let her get to know him, and he knew he should probably tell her about it since it was a large part of what made him who he was.

Grimacing, Santo moved to stand by the coffee machine as it finally finished. Yes, they definitely needed to talk, he decided as he began to spoon sugar into each cup.
