This was not right. He’d fed, just to be sure the hunger was assuaged, just to prevent himself from feeling this powerful lust for her. And he’d been sure he was perfectly in control when he’d come to the room. He’d marched in, with Shannon wearing nothing but a tangle of blankets, just to prove it to himself.

But all it had taken to convince him otherwise was a single glimpse of her smooth skin, bare shoulders and delicate neck, the outline of her collarbone under her skin, the shape of her jaw. The lust hit him again the second he’d set eyes on her, hit him as powerfully as it had before he’d fed. Something was wrong. This damned thirst must be getting stronger. He’d never felt the need again so soon. Never!

And it wasn’t a temporary thing. The feelings grew more intense with every second he spent near her, until he was thinking of little else. He wanted to feel her warm flesh pressed to his own, to hear the sounds she made as he worked her body, drove her to madness, made her want the things he did.

But he couldn’t make love to her. For all he knew he might kill her if he did. And even if he wasn’t the one responsible for the deaths of those other women, he still had reason to keep a distance from Shannon. He didn’t want to let his feelings for her get any stronger. It would kill him to care that much again. When she left—as she must—it would kill him.

What was wrong with him? There were so many things he ought to be focused on right now. The killer who stalked the streets of Arista, the person who might make Shannon his next target, for one. If he hadn’t killed those two women himself, then he had to know who had, or the murders might go on and on. And this new power his nature seemed to be gaining. He needed to explore it, to find answers to the questions tormenting him. He should contact this Marquand. The man might have some answers.

And then there was Shannon and this mysterious illness he’d worried about since he’d first seen its effects. He had, he thought, the answers to that in his possession, in the supposed CIA man’s files on her. But he hadn’t had time to go over them yet, with her always so close. Or maybe it was the guilt he felt at blatantly invading her privacy that way. But he needed to do that, to find out what was wrong with her before it became worse. She’d admitted that attacks like that had happened before—

She whirled across his room, into his arms, and flipped backward in an apparent faint. He nearly dropped her, he’d been paying so little attention. Her body’s jerking movements were proof she was fighting laughter, and her eyes popped open a second later.

“I don’t know how I’m going to get through this without giggling, Damien.
