I DON’T REMEMBER anything about the ride back to our hotel.

At some point we were back in our penthouse suite, and Black was leading me to the marble-tiled bathroom with the two sinks and glass-enclosed shower and the sunken jacuzzi. He undressed me while I stood there.

I watched numbly as he laid my dress carefully in one of the sinks after he took it off me. I realized only then that it was covered in Mozar’s blood. Blood stained the front of Black’s tuxedo as well, and probably the leather seats in the car from the drive home.

I watched him take off his tuxedo jacket, along with the tie and his shirt, removing each piece one by one and putting them in the sink with the dress.

Then he brought both of us into the shower.

I couldn’t help flashing back to being in Bangkok with him as he washed me off carefully, shampooing and then conditioning my hair after he’d gotten every drop of blood off my arms and neck and face. He stopped to kiss me a few times during that.

He only really spoke to me once.

After he’d finished rinsing the last of the conditioner out of my hair and the soap off my body, he wrapped his arms around me from behind, leaning his mouth down by my ear.

“Miri?” His voice was a murmur. “What did you mean by that? At Frasier’s?” He kissed the side of my face. “You were thinking my light felt strange... that there was something wrong with my light. What did you mean?”

“Is it Puzzle, Miri?” he said, low. “Do you still feel him on me? When I kiss you?”

I continued to stare up at him, lost in the look on his face.

I was even more lost from his words.

After another beat, I realized he was waiting for an answer. I shook my head.

“No.”

“Are you sure?”

Frowning, I nodded slowly. “I’m sure. I never felt Puzzle on you, Black. Not really. I felt the humans, at the prison...” He flinched, gripping me tighter. “I never felt Puzzle. I thought it was because he was a vampire––”

Before I could finish, Black leaned down, kissing my mouth.

He put light into his lips and tongue that time, opening his heart. My thoughts shifted to static, my body growing soft when he pressed against me. I turned in his arms, sliding my fingers into his wet hair as he kissed me again.

When he finally came up for air, I felt his light all over me, invasive in mine. I was holding onto him when he leaned past me and turned off the water.

Wrapping us both in giant fluffy robes, he brought me into the bedroom and called housekeeping, asking them to come up and clean the bathroom right away. I
