thing as love lasting an eternity? You write romance novels. Are you not a romantic?’
    “I write erotica. I write about sex, Tobias.”
    “You write about passion, need, desire. You write about what it was like for us.”
    She remained silent, mulling over everything he said. She couldn’t deny all he told her about himself was the truth. Hadn’t she seen for herself how he’d moved like lightening, how he’d bared his fangs, and how he had super human strength?
    “Will I always be in danger from the Grangers?” she asked.
    “I’m afraid so. They will stop at nothing to kill you. However, if I were to turn you into a vampire, at least you would have powers to protect yourself and our children.”
    Cat grew cold. “What did you say?”
    “You will be able to protect yourself and our children.”
    That’s what she thought she heard. Cat froze. “I can’t get pregnant.” Her head began to spin. “I have two lazy ovaries that don’t produce eggs.”
    “Cat, you can, and will have my children one day. Making love to a vampire has a healing effect. Any ills or ailments disappear. My life force will awaken your dormant womb.” He gave her a pointed look. “If a vampire can turn a mortal, why can’t you believe we can create life from lazy ovaries , as you put it.”
    His mouth twitched, but Cat didn’t see the humor in it. She rose, choking on a sob. “Stop it! Don’t…don’t say anymore.” If what he said was true, he could give her the biggest gift in the world. A child. Children! Plural . Cat couldn’t believe it and she placed a hand on her belly.
    She turned to face him. “Would my child be a vampire?”
    “ Our child,” he said, rising to meet her. “And I don’t know.” He gave her a grave look. “Cat, we must leave. My home is in New York. It’s very safe.”
    A nervous laugh escaped her. “Hold on there. I’m not going anywhere with you. I…I don’t even know you.”
    He placed two strong hands on her shoulders and drew her toward him. “You do know me. You know my touch, my love, my heart. That will suffice for now until you feel love for me. I have waited over three hundred years. I can wait a few more days.”
    She wanted to laugh. “You expect me to fall in love with you in a few days?”
    “Yes.”
    She was stunned at his level of arrogance. “And how do you expect to accomplish that?”
    “By helping you remember. Your love for me is within you—you just need to remember our past.”
    She crossed her arms over her chest. “I don’t believe in reincarnation, Tobias. I’m Cat, not Seraphina. As much as I admit I’m wildly attracted to you, looks and great sex alone are not enough to make me fall in love with anyone. Not anymore.” She drew her shoulders up. “I already tried that with a gorgeous attorney, and that ended in heartache.”
    “He wasn’t right for you, Cat.”
    “Oh, and you are ?” she retorted, angrily. “You’re a vampire, you drink blood, and you kill people.”
    “I’ve never killed anyone in my damned life,” he said harshly. “Even when I came face to face with Seraphina’s father a few months before he died, I didn’t kill him. I wanted to, but I didn’t. I let the plague consume him.” He paused, his expression darkening. “I’m not saying all vampires are good. We’re just like humans. There’s good and bad in every race.”
    A muscle worked along the strong column of his throat, and Cat knew she’d angered him, but she didn’t care. In the short time since she’d met Tobias, someone tried to kill her, he practically raped her, and she was going crazy. She chewed her lower lip, instantly regretting her thought about the rape. He hadn’t forced himself on her, she admitted reluctantly. He had stopped. She couldn’t, however, forget how her body reacted to his touch. Her face flamed with a heated rush of shame.
    “I’m sorry, but I don’t see myself falling in love with you. Vampires are not my thing,” she
