Chapter 13
After the shower, Chase carried Harmony back to his bed and rubbed all her aching muscles before turning her in his arms so her head was on his chest.
The fact she didnât want his marks on her was her decision, but he didnât like it. His fingers ran up and down her spine. The green colors had stopped swirling, and she was now only one color.
âTell me about her.â
Every muscle in his body tightened and the thought of fleeing was in the forefront of his mind. She must have noticed because her hand pressed down on his chest, as if that could keep him from getting up and running off.
âYou donât have to tell me anything if you donât want to. Iâm only trying to get to know you.â
He still couldnât bring himself to speak of Alana to another woman, or anyone, really.
âLet me start. My parents were killed in a plane crash, thenâ¦â
She went silent, so he kissed the top of her head, letting her know she could take as long as she needed.
âMy sister was taken by a vampire.â Those words must have short-circuited his brain, because he couldnât move.
She didnât say anything else as she waited for him to say something.
Did she think it was him who took her sister?
Vampires were like any other species. There were good and there were bad in every nest or with every loaner.
âIâm sorry you lost your parents, and about your sister.â
âI can tell by your tone you didnât like something I said.â
âDo you feel like I had something to do with your sister or parents? And youâre only in my bed to get answers from me?â he asked.
She sat up, bringing the sheet with her to cover her perfect breasts. âI donât think you had anything to do with the plane crash that took my parentsâ lives.â
âBut you think I took your sister?â He could feel the heat rising all the way up to the tips of his ears. His hand fisted the gray sheets.
She was shaking her head before speaking. âI donât know who took her. I donât know who it was, but I thought maybe if you knew the whereabouts of other vampires, maybe you could help me find her.â
So she was using him? He thought maybe she felt the same connection he did. The connection which meant they were fated, but maybe it was all in his head. Something he wanted so badly, maybe he manifested it in his own mind.
He couldnât spend time in bed with her. He was so fucking stupid. He should have seen this coming. Getting up, he shoved his legs into a pair of sweats, made his way to the portrait, and ran his grease-stained finger over Alanaâs cheek. What was broken in him that females only wanted to use him?
âItâs a little ego crushing when you get out of bed with me to stroke your exâs face.â
He sighed, then turned back toward her. âAnd it does little for my ego when you donât want my marks on you, or you only fucked me so Iâd help you find your sister.
