“Kynan.” His name
came out in a whisper. She opened her eyes. It was time for a
reunion.
“Kynan?” Vanessa
snorted. “What are you talking about?”
“You called me.”
Kynan stood in the doorway to her bedroom. His button-down shirt
molded to his chiseled chest. His blue eyes glittered and a smile
curled on his lips. He crossed the room to where she sat and dropped
to his knees. “Hello, Beautiful.”
Vanessa slapped
Lexa’s shoulder. “Please tell me this is the guy you had on the
side.” She offered her hand. “My name is Vanessa, I’m her roommate.
I can lock my door, I’m discreet, and I sure hope you’ve got a
brother.”
Lexa allowed
herself to breathe. Dante left without much of a fight, which
unnerved her. Kynan appeared just as he’d said. He relieved her. She
rose to her feet and balled her hands. Don’t reach for him. Don’t
let him know she still loved him.
“I’ve
got…something to do.” Vanessa jumped up and slipped past Lexa to her
room. “I’ll have my music on. Good night, Kynan.”
Kynan watched
Vanessa leave the room. His smile widened. “I take it you haven’t
told her about me?”
“You didn’t
exactly come up in conversation.” Not often and never by name. She
shivered and her nipples beaded beneath her bra. The man embodied
sex and sin. From his ebony hair drooped over his forehead, to his
toned legs and all the sexy muscled male in between…he oozed power.
Would he be interested in the sexual games she played? Would he be
willing to dominate her? He’d been hidden for so long, she wondered
if he even cared about her.
“You’re thinking
too hard.” He took both her balled hands in his. “Breathe, Lex. The
monster is gone.” He kissed her knuckles and led her back to the
bedroom. “I’ve missed you.”
The monster was
gone? Wasn’t he a monster, too? She shook her head. At least the
vampire before her cared about her. Caring was better than nothing.
