“How is it possible for you to be out in the sun like this?”

At Isabel’s question, I look down at her face peering up at me. It’s been three days since we left Scotland for my house on an island in the middle of nowhere, and in that time, I haven’t thought much about what’s to come. I’ve spent every waking moment enjoying her, our time together, time that was taken from us.

“Unlike what’s said about my kind, we don’t live in darkness. We live just like humans except much longer.”

“And you drink blood.”

“Yes,” I agree with a wicked grin, watching her eyes darken with desire as we both recall just how much we enjoyed my feeding this morning.

Her fingers graze my cheek and her expression fills with worry. “The week’s almost over.”

“Don’t, love.” I take hold of her face. “I need to enjoy this moment with you. Please give that to me.”

“Okay,” she agrees quietly.

I lift up and touch my mouth to hers. “Tell me what brought you to Scotland?” I lie back in the sand, and she settles her warm body covered with nothing but a few scraps of fabric against me. The only reason I’ve allowed her to be out near the beach wearing that, is because I can smell the men I hired, and I know they’re a good distance away from us and will never see what is for me and me alone.

“A guy.”

My nostrils flare and jealousy turns my stomach. “A boyfriend?” The question is spoken between clenched teeth.

“No, he wasn’t my anything, but I wanted him to be. So when he asked me to come with him to Scotland, a place I always wanted to go, I accepted.”

“Where is he now?” So I can kill him, I think, but do not say out loud.

She laughs, and I peer at her through narrowed eyes. “You have nothing to be jealous about. I never even kissed him. And besides, he’s in love with someone else.”

“I’m not jealous,” I deny.

She chuckles again, her long, blonde hair flying back, gliding down her shoulders and across my chest. “It’s okay that you are. I remember.” Her expression softens on mine.

“Remember what?” I question. Each day, she’s remembering more and more about our past together.

“You acting like a caveman whenever a man tried to speak to me. I remember you glaring any time a guy even looked at me for too long.”

“You’re mine.”

“I know, and you’ve always made that clear.”

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

“I don’t have dark hair or green eyes anymore,” she whispers, looking away.

“No,” I agree. “Now your hair looks like the sun, like it was spun from the finest silk.” I weave my fingers through the long, silky length and pull her mouth toward mine, forcing her to look at me. “Your eyes are also different, but your soul is the same. The woman you were then and the woman you are now holds my heart. I love you, Isabel.”

I lick across her mouth, tasting her tears as we kiss.
