Scott?He whirled and dropped the two splintered edges. Right here.Damn, she looked so gorgeous.His heart ached for the ability to take back his mortality and live anormal life with her.The bit of blurriness in her eyes, the tousled hair and flush to her cheeks.It wasexactly what he imagined she d look like on a lazy Sunday morning with the sun falling across herfeatures.Empty dreams.He tried to smile at her, but had a feeling it failed miserably. How much of that was real? she asked as he crossed the room to the couch where she struggled to situp.He swallowed and sat down beside her. We need to talk. As soon as the words left his mouth heregretted them.She drew her knees up and wrapped her arms around them. Why? Her voice sounded so little.He hated that.Hated that the effects of the bite would also leave her feeling so vulnerable. You knowwhat I am, don t you?She edged away from him, her eyes flashing. A liar.He winced. What? You re not denying it? I can t, he said, making sure to look her straight in the eye. Though I think I m guilty by omission.Inever actually lied.She groaned and shifted away from him. Did you think I d just accept your appetite for blood?48Haunted RedemptionNo.Plain as that.He didn t.That s what she was talking about though. Would you have believed me if,while dancing, I said, Oh, just so you know, I m a vampire ? Hrmph.Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html Ten years ago, at a haunted house just like this one, I Save me the drama, Scott.I ve read about this whole new culture where people believe they revampires, right down to drinking blood.Sure, maybe there s an erotic connection, but I m just not intothat. Dammit, Lili, would you listen to what I m saying? He jumped to his feet and stood directly in front ofher.She had no choice but to look at him.He bared his teeth, pointed at the overlong canines there. Look.These aren t like yours.They re real.I m a fucking vampire.Not happy about it, but dammit, it swhat I am.He hated the flash of fear in her eyes.Fear he put there.Fuck!Why did it seem like hours, even days ago they d been lost in one another s embrace? Scott? I d really like to go home now.This is way too weird for me.Thanks for giving me anunforgettable night and some awesome memories, but I m not interested in taking part in I came back for you! he roared before he could stop his words. So you could kill me? What s so different about my blood, Scott? she spat his name out. I can tbelieve I m even remotely believing this crap.Vampires.You are all sick in the head.Or your littledress-up party has blurred the line between reality and fiction here.He ignored the second half, which was more of what he expected.But the first part, the straight-outaccusation hurt. Kill you? He couldn t believe this crap. Where the hell did that come from? We don tkill anyone.The amount of blood we get isn t even half what you d give if you went to donate blood.Those people in there, he lowered his voice as he waved toward the other room and took a deep breathbefore continuing. Those people don t know and likely wouldn t care about the blood they ve lost.She stood up and yanked a sheet off a table and wrapped it around her body.He was actually relieved.It was damn hard to argue with a woman wearing nothing but garters and black thigh-high stockings.Lili paced the clear area of the floor, the sheet trailing after her.He stood there, arms crossed to keepfrom stopping her ridiculous behavior and make her listen to him.Listen good. You, she said, pausing toe to toe with him.She opened her mouth as if to comment then closed itagain. Go get my clothes.I m going home. Not until you ve heard me out. I ve heard enough.You re claiming to be some& something that doesn t exist.I could have handledthis being a one-night stand.Don t even open your mouth again and make me regret it all.49Melani BlazerHe hadn t remembered her being so stubborn. I didn t come all this way for& he trailed off, realizingjust how that sounded.Just how this all looked.What the hell, look up a face from the past, have aGenerated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlfling& I didn t expect to have sex with you. Oh, really? The candles, the wine, the dance? You admitted to me you wanted to seduce me.Fuck! He had said that.Of course, as soon as he d seen in her in that delectable slip of a skirt he dforgotten all else. You make it sound cheap.Her eyes snapped with electricity.He could almost see the lightning bolts shooting out of them. Tenyears, she muttered through clenched teeth. Not a goddamn phone call, a postcard that said wish youwere here& nothing.Nothing! Then suddenly you re here and telling me you came back for me as avampire and I m supposed to be grateful?She turned and stomped away, jerking up at the sheet that kept getting caught around the high heels ofher boots.It d have been funny if he didn t feel so lost about this whole situation. Lili Oh, shut up Scott.Shut up before I question my sanity for letting you do exactly what you set out to do.Not that the sex wasn t good.It was great.But funny, that s all part of the vampire persona, isn t it?Sensual, sexual creatures of the night.Suave and seductive.Yeah, you re a fucking vampire all right.Yougot what you came for.Now I want to go home!He swore the house rattled with her yelled demand.Charlie appeared at the doorway to the room just moments later.Scott nodded at him.
