“Good morning, sweetheart.”

“Mmmm, owww. If you say so,” Carin whimpered and tried to pull in a deep breath, wincing when her lungs and all the sore spots on her chest burned. The stitches pulled, but at least the pain was manageable at the moment.

“How are you feeling?”

“Same as when Alaana asked me last time, like hammered shit. Where exactly are we?” she mumbled, wishing she could raise her hand to scratch at her scalp. Before she could attempt to exercise the thought, Bix buried his fingers in her hair and took care of the itch for her. There was a lot to be said for this psychic boyfriend stuff.

“Psychic boyfriend, eh?” Bix chuckled. “And to answer your question, we’re at V.C.O.E. North American headquarters in Montana. We have a huge estate in the Flathead Valley on about four hundred and fifty acres, just west of Kalispell.”

“Is this your place?”

“I keep this apartment for when I’m here on Council business. I have my own spread about a half hour chopper ride north of here.” He smoothed her wild tangle of hair away from her swollen face, and buried his fingers with gentle strokes as he spoke softly to her.

“Bix, kiss me. Very gently, please,” she asked sleepily.

He complied, lightly pressing his full lips to hers. Each shallow breath brought with it his natural masculine scent. The overlay of clean musky soap tickled her nose. She inhaled again, appreciating the pleasant respite from the strong antiseptic smells clinging to her skin.

“Mmmm, thank you for that,” she whispered.

“What do you remember, sweetheart?” Bix continued to scratch lovingly at her scalp.

“I was about to open my car door when I got cold cocked by a mean-assed vampire with big teeth,” she finished on a contented sigh. “That feels really good. Does a bath come with it?”

“We’ll eventually get to the bath, with bubbles if you like. I’ll even wash your hair for you. But right now I need to know what happened. Where the hell were you going at that time of night?”

“I couldn’t sleep. I was on my way to see you to tell you I’d decided to help with your little rogue problem.”

“You were on your way to my house? In the fucking middle of the night? Damn it, Carin.”

“I know, Bix, I know. It was stupid but it’s a bit late for recriminations. Besides, it makes my head hurt.” And that was all she had to say about it. Carin was grateful for the quiet knock on the apartment door.

Bix’s grumpy, “Who the hell is it now?” made it clear he was reluctant to get up. Easing out from under the blankets, he left the bed and pulled on a comfy-looking pair of worn, black sweatpants. Carin watched his gloriously naked, oh-so-proportioned perfection move over to the dresser, grab a shirt and head towards the bedroom door. His powerful back muscles tensed and bunched as he slipped a white T-shirt over his head. The man was so sinfully handsome, and she felt swollen and bruised.
