Nicolas was convinced his heart would beat right out of his chest. The logical part of his mind told him he was safe and that Annabelle had no darker motives toward him, but his fear didn’t understand that.

He was exhausted from the long drive and from the excessive amounts of control his mind had exerted tonight. He fed, but the small amount he drank wouldn’t support him through two sleepless days.

Annabelle was right when she said he needed to rest. If Aleksander’s men did find him, he would need to be strong for both him and Annabelle.

If he got no sleep tonight, it would be a challenge for him to fight off one vampire, and it was likely that more than one was coming after him.

He willed his eyes to close and his body to relax, but no peace came to him. After about two hours of fighting with his fear, he broke out into a cold sweat. He would never get any sleep like this.

He looked over at Annabelle’s sleeping form. It had taken her no time to drift into unconsciousness. She must’ve been exhausted from the night’s events. He was glad that at least she was getting the rest she needed. She’d not moved since he’d gotten on the bed.

He was surprised at how heavily she slept, considering he was sharing the bed with her. He didn’t know whether he should feel flattered or insulted that she could sleep so soundly in his presence. The covers were all the way up to her neck, and all he could see was the dark brown of her hair.

Sick of staying in one spot, he finally got up and crossed to the bathroom. He ran cold water in the sink and splashed some on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes were red, reflecting his body’s need for rest.

He had to think. Lying in the bed and telling himself to sleep wasn’t working. He needed to try something else. He moved back into the room and looked at Annabelle’s sleeping body. Though the room was dark, his eyes could see clear as day.

Once again, he noticed how heavily she slept, and an idea came to him. She was so out of it, she’d wake up with no knowledge of what he’d done. He smiled to himself as he got to work.
