like being with them.
    “ For now that ’ s more than enough. Someday I might attempt to find my biological family. Maybe. Right now I just wish they would understand I want and need the same intimacy they do. ”
    “ What ’ s the answer? ”
    Rayna tilted her head. “ Part of it is to have them all happily settled with women they adore. Two down, one to go. Once Uncle Conner has accepted his fate and settled happily down, I ’ m going to put my foot down and insist they bu t t out of my personal life . I ’ ll expect their bloods to back me up. ”
    Desiree moistened her lips. “ Do you have any idea which fem he ’ ll eventually settle down with? ” The thought of Conner in love with another female hurt like hell.
    Rayna stared at her. “ Which fem? Wake up and smell the coffee, Desi. If he settles down with any fem, it ’ ll be news to me. And trust me; I know them better than almost anyone else. That ’ s how I knew Brandi and Cayenne were Uncles Adrian and Jayvyn ’ s blood.
    “ No fem is going to make Uncle Conner happy. ”
    “ Then who will? ”
    “ You . That is if you ’ re prepared to be very unhappy and take a lot of shit from him until he realizes you ’ re his blood. ”
    Desiree sucked in a breath. “ Are you sure? ”
    “ I ’ m as sure about you as I was about Brandi and Cayenne. Both have probably already told you landing my uncles wasn ’ t easy but worth it in the long run. ” She paused. “ You do love him. Don ’ t you? ”
    “ Love him? ” She swallowed. “ Until he started frightening off all my romantic prospects and implying I was a slut because I want an intimate relationship with a man, I liked him and loved being with him. ”
    “ And now you don ’ t? ”
    “ I can ’ t say I like him much anymore. He ’ s moody and dark, but I still have a massive lust for him. I ’ m not sure that translates into actually loving him. In the beginning I was fairly sure I was in love with him, but now I ’ m not sure of anything… ” except that her need to have him fuck her ached like a painful and debilitating disease.
    Rayna narrowed her gaze. “ Then I suggest you decide one way or the other before you get in any deeper. ”
    She didn ’ t like the almost implicit threat she heard in Rayna ’ s voice “ Meaning what? ”
    “ Meaning, he ’ s not the full-blood to fuck around with, Desi. I know everyone generally thinks of him as the more polished and urban e of my uncles and they might have a point. But he ’ s also the most dangerous of the three. He controls his temper better than the other two but when he loses it…if you ’ re only interested in a fling and not a lifetime commitment with all that entails, you should set your sights on some other full-blood or latent who might be willing to play games with you. ”
    Desiree felt her cheeks burn with heat. “ That ’ s just what I plan to do, Rayna. And for the record, I ’ m not now nor have I ever been playing games with him. ”
    “ Good because he sure as hell won ’ t be playing them with you. When you see him again, you ’ d better know what you ’ re doing. ”
    Despite his recent reminders that he was a vampire, she wasn ’ t afraid of him. “ If you ’ re trying to convince me I should be afraid of him, you ’ re wasting your time. I ’ m not afraid of him. ”
    “ You really should be. ”
    “ Are you implying I need to fear for my safety with him? ”
    “ I ’ m saying any human woman in a relationship with a full-blood would be a fool not to have a certain level of fear of him. They can be very dangerous if you piss them off. And when they ’ re falling into blood they ’ re so easily offended that they ’ re almost always pissed off and dangerous. ”
    No one was going to convince her she should be afraid of Conner. She shook her head. “ I can ’ t imagine being afraid of him. ”
    Rayna reached across the table to clutch her hand. “ I ’ m not trying to frighten you, but I
