close.” He wrinkled up his lips to show his teeth then closed his eyes.
    Shit. Where did those come from? No way!
    He smiled impishly at me with his fangs resting on his lower lip. “Fangs. I have claws too.” He shook out his hand and his nails snapped into three-inch long claws.
    “No, can’t be, some kind of trick.” I turned away from him with a groan and huddled deeper into my blanket.
    “Pet, are you in pain?” He leaned forward.
    I glanced at his mouth and hand. No fangs, no claws. Crazy, I’m going crazy . “Yes, you freaking bastard. I hurt all over.” I felt tears boiling up again. Why had I wanted a date with this creep? Oh, yeah, it’s a family thing. Attract the worst loser you can find and make him your boyfriend. Just like my mother, just like my sister. I fought back a sob.
    “Here, this will help with the pain.” He offered me the cup of cooling tea. “Finish this then get some rest. We’ll talk when you’re feeling better.”
    I turned away, refusing. He set the cup down and grabbed my chin firmly, turning me to look at him. “I have a few rules. One is you do what I tell you. Now, you can drink the tea or I will make you.” His voice hardened with his face.
    “So you really are going to keep me here against my will?”
    His hard look said it all. I felt a shiver of fear and tears started again. I shook myself. No crying. Reluctantly I held out my hand for the tea. It had helped. He watched closely while I finished it.
    I shoved the cup at him. “Happy now?” I had to find a way out of here just as soon as I could walk.
    “A few other things you should know. I carry a cell phone that’s password protected. The door auto locks with a keypad. I change the code regularly. There aren’t any items strong enough to stake me. Feel free to watch TV or read. Though for now, you should rest.” He left without looking back.
    I huddled into the corner of the couch, pulling the blanket tighter about me. None of it made sense. Memories came clearly now, including the sex. Oh, man, the sex. I’d only imagined it that good. My thoughts swirled in endless circles but my pain started to subside.
    I closed my eyes just to rest.
    Soft voices woke me from a deep sleep. And the smell of something good cooking. My head no longer pounded and the aches had settled into the background. Until I tried to sit up. Muscles protested and joints felt hot and stiff. My head swam, so I held still for a few moments.
    My stomach growled, reminding me I needed to eat. I stood carefully and found my legs would hold me. With the blanket wrapped tightly around me, I headed for the galley kitchen. Just a row of upper and lower cabinets against the wall with a fridge, sink and stove. An island counter separated it from the rest of the living area. A couple of bar stools were tucked under the counter on the main room side.
    Another man joined Dekker in the kitchen. Where Dekker was fair haired, blue eyed and had hard masculine planes, this man was dusky and smooth, his café-au-lait skin and stunning green eyes set off by his smoothly shaved head. His smile outshone the sun and his face held that perfect line between too harsh and too feminine. He looked like a model for men’s clothes, or maybe Playgirl magazine. In short, I’d never been this close to such a gorgeous man. And I had on nothing but a blanket.
    Dekker smirked at me. “You can stop drooling and close your mouth now, pet. You’re just feeding his already oversized ego. And yes, he’s a vampire too. No, I won’t let him bite you, don’t ask.”
    “Hi darlin’. I’m Nate. We didn’t get introduced last night. Are you hungry? I’ve fixed you some chicken soup.”
    Chicken soup? It’s not like I’m a sick kid . Still, it smelled pretty good.
    Dekker jerked a thumb at his bedroom. “Nate picked up some clothes for you. Why don’t you dress first?”
    A suitcase sat on the end of his bed. My suitcase. Full of my clothes. My initial excitement cooled
