âDo you realize now you are playing a dangerous game with me, mo chroi?â Grant presses his chest against my back, holding me to him.
âWhat . . . what are you?â Tears well up in my eyes.
Grant moves to face me. He places his hands on my shoulders and leans in again. âWhat do you think I am?â He growls.
I squeeze my eyes shut. This was not happening. Vampires do not exist! I am not being held prisoner by a vampire. A vampire who kissed me. Iâm shaking my head, trying to resist the truth. âWhat do you want from me?â
He runs the back of his fingers down my right cheek, down my throat, and stops at the base of my neck.
âI want to ease you into this world, mo chroi. It can be a dangerous place and should be navigated with caution.â Grant takes a small step back, giving me a little room to breathe.
âKelly, look at me.â His voice is soothing. I open my eyes and glance up at Grant. âPromise me you will not panic and run. We can sit down and talk, hmm?â
I search his face for something. I can feel it more than see it; he wonât harm me. My gut is turning inside out, but it never lets me down. I am safe, for now anyway. âOkay.â
âYou have no idea who you are, do you, Kelly?â
âIâm Kelly Kennedy.â
âThereâs so much more, mo chroi.â
âListen. I donât know whatâs going on.â I canât help but look at Grantâs mouth, searching for the fangs he had flashed. âIs this some kind of sick game?â I force myself to move a step back from him.
âSit down, Kelly.â He arches an eyebrow at me.
I move toward the single armchair near the window, but Grant stops me.
âNo, mo chroi. Here.â He sits on the leather couch he and the brunette woman had been sitting on and pats the cushion next to him. âSit.â
There isnât room for negotiation. I creep toward him but find the edge of the couch more comfortable and sit, rolling my feet underneath me, hoping to avoid any contact with the vampire.
He moves to kneel in front of me, grasping my hands. I look down at our interlocking fingers. I am in shock and my body begins to shake.
âKelly. Breathe with me. In and out.â He pauses. âIn and out. I can feel ya fightinâ the pulsing energy inside ya.â
As if on cue, the electrical outlets in the room spark.
âYou can control it. Look at me, mo chroi.â He holds my face in his strong hand and pulls my focus back to him. âI want ya to let the energy seep out of ya. Think of it draining to the floor in a puddle.â
My eyes lock with Grantâs. I lick my lips and try to visualize the energy seeping out of me into a puddle under the sofa. My breathing becomes less strained.
âThatâs it. Youâre doinâ it. Keep breathinâ with me.â
I match the rise and fall of his chest.
