Chapter Thirteen

“Damn, that’s good,” he said, laughing softly.

It was then I realized that my other hand had moved to my crotch. I wasn’t embarrassed, just sorry that he’d stopped.

“I didn’t mean to stop too soon,” he said. “But I also didn’t want to take too much. That can be dangerous, especially the first time.”

“Why especially the first time?”

His lips were stained crimson and I watched as his tongue moved in slow motion to lick the two small punctures at my wrist.

“Because it’s new and exciting and easy to go too far.”

He licked my wrist again before saying, “This will make it heal without a scar.”

Several minutes passed as we both gazed up at the stars. Finally, I sat up and took another sip of tequila. I was surprised at how fast his bite had sobered me up.

“Mandy’s brother said you’re seeing someone. Is that true?”

I had hoped we could avoid the subject of Jesse. After all, I wasn’t planning to continue our relationship. Marcus didn’t sound angry and I had no reason to lie to him. I mean in seven years he must have known I would date other people. Surely I could explain this without upsetting him.

“Technically, yes.”

I had turned my back to pick up the bottle. Before I could think of what to say next his hands were on my shoulders, his lips pressed against the side of my throat. Marcus ran his long fingers through my hair, pulling just enough to tilt back my head. When he spoke there was a hunger laid bare in his voice, the intensity of which surprised me.

“Can he do to you the things I can?”

I moved just enough to see that his eyes were glowing and his fangs were out. For a split second I was afraid. He must have sensed it, because he instantly pulled away, rising quickly to his feet.

“If you decide to stay away forever, let it be because you don’t love me, not because you’re afraid.” He walked to the edge of the platform. His back remained turned to me. “I may be a monster, but I’m your monster. Don’t ever be afraid of me.”

And just like that he was gone. I don’t know if he swam or flew away or what. He was just gone. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I knew I couldn’t leave things this way. He had completely misunderstood my intentions. I dove in the water, amazed at how fast I could swim when I needed to. I ran inside, snatched on some clothes, grabbed my purse, and jumped in the car. My hair was still very wet and soaking quickly through my shirt and onto the seat, but I really didn’t care. What I cared about was letting Marcus know how I felt and setting things straight.

He hadn’t told me the name of his hotel, but there was only one place he could be. In the next town over there was the area’s only Blood and Coffin. A Blood and Coffin is the vampire version of a Bed and Breakfast.
