I was leaning forward on my seat, elbows on the table, hanging on every world she said, lost in the story when she caught my eye and I flushed, turning away. "Does my story turn you on?" Darling asked me, her smile small but knowing.

"What happened next?" I asked.

"Dimitri drove me home."

CHAPTER FIVE

The car rumbled to life. The wheels crunched over gravel and then we were on paved roads, the car humming along. I wrapped my arms around myself, closing my eyes behind the blindfold. Energy vibrated through my entire body.

I wore a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt that Dimitri gave me. They were Megan's, I could smell her on them. And that wasn't the only thing I could smell. I could smell my sweat on Dimitri's skin. I'd showered but he just dressed in a pale blue collared shirt with a navy linen vest and matching pants. I thought he might be the most statuesque and elegant thing I'd ever seen.

Dimitri laid a hand on my thigh and I instantly felt calmer and duller. "Stop it," I said through the hood.

"But I like to touch you."

I felt that sensation again, the one Pearl settled on me, that bell of truth. "How can Megan love me?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" His voice was even but I could feel a tremor in it. Subtle, but, I thought, very much there.

"She still loves me, but you can't love. Vampires can't love."

"How do you know that?"

"I could see it in her eyes," I said. "Feel it against my skin, sense it in the path of her tongue, divine it from the crushing pull of her fangs."

I realized then I could feel his emotions. They whispered against my flesh, filled the space around us. And then I felt mine, weighted by his. And it was clear to me, in a single moment, I could see it all right in front of my blindfolded eyes. How can I explain this? It was like a glowing map in front of me. His emotions were cloudy, glowing white, filling the space around us. Mine were a hot little ball of red at the center of me. And I controlled from there. No need to let him know. I just had to stay there and he'd never find me. No one would.

"Megan can't sing any more can she?" I asked.

"I don't know."

I could tell he was lying. I felt the lie on my skin, the brush of it against the fine hairs on my arm.

"Take off your hood."

"Really?"

"We are far enough from the house. And besides, you've got one of the worst senses of direction I've ever seen. You couldn't find your way back there with a map," he said with a small chuckle, taking his hand off my leg. I felt anger at him. It was the first emotion to explode when given the space. I saw it like a rocket, arching out of me.

I pulled the hood off, turning to him. "What do you know about my sense of direction?" I asked.
