refusing to
    leave. Feeling incredibly exposed, but
    also powerful that she could evoke
    reactions from a vampire as sensual as
    Kiernan, she grabbed a plain long-sleeved
    black T-shirt and tugged it over her head.
    She was very aware that she wasn’t
    wearing any underclothes but she didn’t
    see any lying around. She didn’t relish the
    thought of wearing a stranger’s underwear
    anyway.
    After shimmying into a pair of dark
    jeans, she turned to find Kiernan had gone
    impossibly still. She felt her cheeks heat
    up at the blatant lust in his eyes. He
    looked like he wanted to take her right on
    the closet floor. “You insisted on staying,”
    she said quietly.
    “I did.”
    She swallowed hard but forced her
    eyes away from him and onto the closet
    floor. The space was packed with a
    ridiculous amount of name brand clothing,
    purses, and thankfully shoes. She scooped
    up a pair of flat boots and slid them on. It
    felt weird without socks but oh well. They
    needed to be gone ten minutes ago. “Thank
    you for taking me.”
    He gave a curt nod as he exited the
    closet with her. Wearing all dark clothing
    and with his height, he looked so damn
    intimidating she was glad he’d be with her
    facing the gang members. Not that she
    worried about some human kids being
    able to hurt her, but some of those kids got
    jacked up on fae or demon blood. It not
    only gave them super strength, it made
    some of them go out of their heads.
    “So what’s this gift your friend was
    talking about?”
    She shrugged as he opened the front
    door into that gorgeous marble entryway.
    “I’m a doctor. I might work on animals,
    but I’ve helped her before with some of
    the kids from the local barrios . They’re too afraid to call the cops and they know
    Irene won’t narc them out to anyone. If she
    trusts me, they’ll trust me too.”
    He shook his head. “I can’t believe
    your father is okay with that.”
    Shooting him a quick glance, she gave
    him a tight smile. “He doesn’t know.”
    Jaw tight, he just shook his head. The
    elevator dinged as they reached the ground
    floor and she resisted rolling her eyes at
    him. She did not need another male in her
    life telling her what to do or judging her
    actions. He stopped in front of a car.
    “What’s this?” she asked.
    “All these vehicles are property of my
    coven.” He swept his hand out at the array
    of vehicles in the underground garage.
    “Nice.” She slid into the passenger side
    of an older model Mustang. At least they’d
    be riding in style, though if she was
    honest, she really liked his motorcycle.
    Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and a
    look at her phone made her wince. It was
    her mother and way past the time she was
    supposed to check in.
    She might be an adult, but since she was
    going on a date with a vampire that night,
    she’d made sure her mother knew. That
    conversation had been one big argument.
    Of course she’d left out Kiernan’s name.
    Her pack and his coven had a certain level
    of animosity toward one another, due to
    some feud from almost a century ago. It
    was way before her time and she really
    didn’t care what it was about. She might
    not be completely sure about Kiernan’s
    motives, but she knew he wouldn’t hurt
    her. Not physically, at least. Instead of
    answering, she rejected the call then typed
    in a quick text telling her mother she was
    fine but staying out the entire night. She
    also entered their code word so her mom
    knew it was her and not someone
    pretending to use her phone.
    The curt response she received told her
    to call immediately. Melina slid her phone
    into her pocket instead. After she helped
    the kid at the shelter, she’d call. Until then
    she didn’t want to deal with any other
    distractions. Especially not when she had
    a giant, very sexy one sitting right next to
    her.
    Chapter 4
    Kiernan parked behind Helping Hands, the
    shelter Melina directed him to. The
    expansive two story building took up an
    entire city block.
