Marina

I couldn't sit still. Even as the silver vehicle drove languidly down to the shopping center, I could do nothing but fidget in the heated seat. Jacob's car was familiar to me, Kite had driven it the first night I'd met them. But Jacob himself had never been in it, not with me.

Now, he sat inches away, reclining comfortably like driving was second nature to him. Soft, classical music flowed from the speakers. Outside, the world was dreary and limp; chilly.

In our private little pocket, the air was wild fire.

I'd almost started to understand Kite. How to handle him, what to expect. It wasn't perfect, but it gave me some stability. With Jacob, nothing existed in my mind but dark whispers and deft fingers. A single salty, cruel kiss.

I didn't know either of them, not exactly...

But Jacob was mystery given form.

Digging my nails into the seat belt, I fought to find words. Why did he make me so nervous? Because the last time you were alone with him, he snatched you up and made you bleed. What was worse, was that I'd loved it.

Lost in thought, I tumbled around the reason we were driving at all. Jacob's plan had sounded insane when he proposed it, but it had been my fault it came up. I wanted to take action. He offered me the chance. “So,” I said, hating how hollow that single word sounded, “You really think he'll be at this thing tonight?”

Jacob turned us into the parking lot of a large shopping mall. “I can't say. It's just something I was told.”

“By who?” I asked, giving in to my anxiety.

He cut the engine. The sound died, no longer able to hide my nervous breathing. Fuck, I needed to get it together. Jacob didn't make it easy, not with how he faced me and reminded me how blue his god damn eyes were. “I don't know who,” he said carefully. “I didn't meet them face to face.”

Shaking my head, I wrinkled my eyebrows. “The internet told you our mystery man was going to be at some posh event tonight?”

His teeth were slow to show, but when they did, I couldn't help but think of deadly fangs. Even his laugh was jagged. “What are you fishing for, Marina? Are you trying to figure out if I know more than I'm telling you?”

I hesitated, then gave up. “Yeah. Pretty much.”

“Still don't trust me?” he whispered. He was referencing our last meeting.

I didn't want to be reminded—didn't need to be. I had a hard enough time forgetting that morning. “I feel like... you're leaving things out. You were gone for four days, Jacob. What did you do that whole time?”

His lips curled at the sides. “It isn't important. Even if I wasn't saying everything, what would it matter? All you have to go on is what I've found so far. Right?”

Of course he was right. “Fine,” I said, looking out at the parking lot. I didn't want to see his face.
