Then again, mortal terror of his dear old daddy probably inspired unusual
reserve in most of his followers.
I heard Cyrus s sigh of contentment over the rustle of sheets as he arranged
himself on the bed. A pang of longing speared through me, the exact feeling
someone would get watching the ex they dumped shopping happily for china
patterns with his new love.You can put the vampire into the human, but you
can t take the human out of the vampire.
When the bathroom door closed and I heard the sound of running water, I made
my move. I came down the steps as quickly and quietly as I could, but he still
heard me. My eyes adjusted easily to the darkness and I found him, staring at
me in disbelief as he sat up on the bed.
He was still human. I could tell from the smell of him, and the warmth that
seemed to wrap around me. He d cut his hair.
He opened his mouth, probably to shout to Angie for help. All he managed
before I covered his mouth and nose with the chloroform-soaked scrap of my
burned T-shirt was No, she s
Then it was done. He dropped, limp and unconscious, to the bed, and I lifted
him over my shoulder. Carrying his weight this way was easier, but getting up
the stairs took a bit more effort. Luckily, the woman in the bathroom seemed
to be filling the tub. She never heard me struggling up the steps, into the
hall and back through the kitchen.
If my departure had set off any sort of magical alarm, it was too late. I
dumped Cyrus in the back of the van and drove into the desert before anyone
could pursue us.

Unpleasant Discoveries
Despitethe fact she could barely walk, the damn woman insisted she come along
with him.
Max ground his teeth as he paused for the umpteenth time for Bella to catch
up. You know, this would go a lot faster if you d just stayed at home.
That place is not my home, she snarled actually snarled, the vicious bitch.
You know what I meant. He let her pass him a few steps before he started
again. You re not exactly incognito with the smell of blood all over you.
If you would have done a better job patching me up, I would not smell like
blood. She limped a few steps,then visibly forced herself to straighten her
leg.
Max sighed in frustration and caught up with her easily. Do you want me to
carry you?
Her gold eyes widened,then narrowed in anger. Absolutely not!
Damn.It might have been fun to let her climb on him piggyback style, her legs
wrapped around his waist.
Oh, for Christ s sake, he cursed out loud. Thinking sexually about a
werewolf was practically bestiality. And if he were going to swing that way,

he d much rather do it with something that didn t talk as much as she did,
like a goat or a pony.
Ally or not, she continued to grate on his nerves.
Her expression flickered for a moment, and she looked hurt and offended. Then
he remembered he d spoken aloud, and she probably thought his remark was
directed at her.
He d opened his mouth to explain when she cut him off. Fine. Carry me, if you
think it will be faster.
Recovering fast, he smiled superciliously. I do.
She stood behind him, tentatively placing her hands on his shoulders. He
stooped slightly and reached back to lift her up. The natural place to rest
hands, of course, was the perfectly round curve of her ass.
Pervert.Furry.Furvert ,he chastised himself as he boosted her onto his back.
Up you go.
This is humiliating, she growled at him, her mouth so close to his ear her
breath stirred his hair.
He hooked his elbows under her knees to help support her. Her arms around his
neck didn t choke him. She was strong enough to hold her own weight, for the
most part.
You wouldn t have been humiliated if you d stayed at home, he pointed out,
then corrected himself. At the apartment.
Fine.You are right and I, a lowly female, am wrong. Is that better? Was
that a hint of playfulness he heard in her voice?
It buoyed his spirits some. Much. Are we still going straight?
She d refused to let him drive the car while they searched for Nathan. She d
said she couldn t get a good scent that way.
The thought turned his stomach.
She lifted up slightly, audibly sniffing the wind. No, turn up ahead.
Her heels dug into him and she balled the shoulders of his T-shirt in her
hands and tugged. He yanked the front of his shirt flat. Stop that, I m not a
horse.
Sorry, she said in a way that implied she didn t care what kind of animal
he was. But turn right up ahead.
The farther she led him into the neighborhood, the more it looked familiar.
Dread tightened his guts. Are you sure we re on the right track?
She gave a snort of disgust. Do you have a better way of finding him that
you are not sharing with me? Using it to second-guess my sense of smell? I
said turn right.
In the guise of hoisting her higher on his back, he jostled her wounded leg.
Sorry, did that hurt?

You are a spiteful man. I will be glad when this is all over. She suddenly
sounded tired and even laid her head against his shoulder as he walked.
Not for the first time that night, he wondered how much pain she was in and
how she could put up such a strong front.Idiot. If she would just tell him she
needed a rest, he would let her.Even though she didn t deserve his pity.
Maybe it was a good thing they were on the same team. If they hadn t been, he [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
