care.”
    He focused past Vouclade to see her, dressed in the clothes he’d given her, standing at the other end of the kitchen. He stood up and rested a hand on the back of the chair he intended to pull out for her as a flood of warm sensations rippled in his blood.
    Bathed, she looked like an entirely different woman.
    Her glossy black hair hung in her eyes, lending her a sexy, playful quality he hadn’t noticed before. Her skin, although still pale, starkly contrasted the dark t-shirt and satin pants, making her green eyes glow with an alluring intensity. And her lips, once tight and colorless, now relaxed and taunted him with a dusky pink hue even from across the room.
    The light scents of mint and juniper invaded his senses as she slowly moved towards him, the gentle sway of her stride allowing him to see the erect state of her nipples as his t-shirt shifted over her small breasts.
    Though she wasn’t what the general human population would consider beautiful, there was something in her confident manner, something about the way she sauntered up to him and stood only inches away that made every inch of his body acutely aware of hers.
    It was the parting of her lips and the flash of her perfect teeth that pulled his attention back to her eyes. “I take it you approve of the way I clean up, Lord Vampire?”
    He nodded, taken even more by her direct nature. “I do.” He reached out and tucked an unruly strand of hair behind her ear, enjoying the soft, warm feel of her skin and the damningly seductive curve of her lips as she smiled up at him. “I’ve never wished to repossess a shirt before.”
    The acute sound of choking that emanated from the living room, followed by unnecessarily loud coughing, reminded Kerestyan they weren’t exactly alone. He withdrew his hand and pulled out the chair across from Vouclade. “Please, sit and accept my apologies. I meant no offense by talking about you when you weren’t present.”
    He sucked in a sharp breath when, instead of walking around him, Logan slipped her thin body between him and the back of the chair. He stiffened as her taut nipples grazed his chest, rousing the slumbering animal inside him. He pressed his lips together, struggling to keep his fangs from growing as he moved to retake his own seat.
    It’d been a long time since merely the touch of a woman had stirred the beast inside him. He shifted as a surge of blood rushed to his groin. It’d been even longer since anything but the promise of feeding had stirred that, too.
    He focused back on Logan as she smiled at Vouclade, who watched her through curious eyes. “Is Kerestyan always so damn polite and courteous?”
    The bastard nodded. “Yes. If you find it distasteful now, imagine being subjected to it for ten millennia.”
    She wrinkled her nose as she braced her hands against the arms of the chair then curled her long legs beneath her. “Now that would be torture.” She eyed Vouclade’s black leather shirt as disbelief touched her eyes. “But ten thousand years? That’s just an exaggeration for effect, right?” She didn’t sound the least bit convinced.
    Although Kerestyan wasn’t sure it was possible anymore, by the way Vouclade’s spine straightened, he actually appeared offended. He narrowed his grey eyes on her. “I deal in facts, Logan, not exaggerations nor theories which hold no merit. Why is ten thousand years so difficult for you to accept? What would you say if I told you I was twice Kerestyan’s age?”
    She arched a brow. “I’d say you’re full of shit. I spent a lot of time at the public library on subzero and blistering days, reading and watching movies. I’m pretty sure if anything more than spear chucking humans were around 20,000 years ago, science would know. Or at the very least, found signs of more than crude stone tools.” She tipped her head to the side and flashed Vouclade a brilliant, taunting smile. “You’re just messing with me.”
    Kerestyan forcefully cleared
