shit,”
he said roughly. “I know something happened.”
    Aoife swirled the Jager around in her glass.
“Whatever do you mean?” she asked innocently.
    I downed my shot and risked a glance up at
Jameson, doing my best to clear the emotions from my face and
eyes.
    Jameson growled and unfolded his arms,
clenching his fists down at his sides. “Dammit, Aoife! What the
hell did you do to her?”
    Aoife kicked me hard under the bar and it
startled me into answering. “Nothing,” I said quickly. “She didn’t
do anything to me.”
    Jameson refolded his arms over his chest and
glared down at me. “And I’m supposed to believe that shit? Look at
you!” he said, gesturing wildly to my body. “You’re shaking. There
is genuine fear in your eyes and you’ve bitten a hole in your
bottom lip.”
    I quickly put my hand to my mouth and came
away with a small spot of blood. I quickly looked over at the
vampires and apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
    “What did you do to her, Aoife?” Jameson
demanded.
    “Oh, will you just calm the hell down
already,” Aoife groaned and dismissively flicked her wrist in my
direction. “We were just having a little chat, that’s all. Ask her.
Nothing happened.”
    Jameson looked at me questioningly. “Nothing
happened,” I said as steadily as I could.
    Jameson’s eyes narrowed in anger as he looked
over at Aoife. “Archer said that you weren’t supposed to touch her,
Aoife,” he growled lowly. “If I find out you did anything to her,
I’ll personally deal with you.”
    Aoife laughed sarcastically. “Please,
Youngblood. Is that any way to talk to the wife of your
creator?”
    Jameson’s face quickly turned to mine and I
briefly met his eyes. We had a whole wordless conversation in three
seconds. I told him that I knew all about Aoife and Archer with my
eyes and he sincerely apologized with his.
    He turned his head and glared back at Aoife.
“Do. Not. Call. Me. Youngblood,” he growled severely. She just
laughed unkindly and dismissed him with another flick of her slim
wrist.
    Jameson reached over and grabbed my hand,
pulling me to my feet. He wordlessly pulled me across the floor and
down the back hall to one of the stockrooms. When we got inside, he
quickly closed the door behind us and turned to me. “Are you okay?”
he asked, lightly grabbing my chin between his finger and thumb as
he searched my eyes.
    I took a deep breath and slowly blew it out.
All of the intense emotions I was working so hard to hold in
suddenly came pouring out in a massive tidal wave of tears and
hiccups. Damn it all to HELL , I silently cursed. I hated
showing my weaknesses in front of people and my body shook harder
with the added emotion.
    Jameson took me in his arms and held me
tight. He gently rocked me to and fro as he whispered sweet,
soothing words. I pushed him away after a second and roughly wiped
the tears from my cheeks, trying hard to get control of myself
    “Damn it, Jameson,” I whined angrily. “Why do
you always have to do that?”
    “Do what?” Jameson asked genuinely
confused.
    “Do THAT!” I said, gesturing to him. “Why do
you always have to be the good guy? Why do you always feel like you
have to come to my rescue?” I asked, angrily. “I was doing okay in
there, damn it! You didn’t have to come “save me”! I can take care
of myself!”
    Jameson took a step back and crossed his arms
over his chest. “I was just trying to protect you from her,” he
said defensively. “You have no idea what she is like, Skye. You
have no idea what she is even capable of. You don’t
understand.”
    “I understand plenty now, Jameson,” I spat
angrily. I wasn’t really angry at him. I was angry at Archer and
Aoife. He was turning into the scapegoat and I started to feel bad,
but couldn’t stop my runaway mouth. “I understand that Archer lied
to me and played with my emotions like I was some kind of frickin’
toy! I understand that he was married to her all along
