“Your doctor injected me with some kind of blood thing,” I said. “I’m a little lightheaded, now that we’re not screwing anymore, but I’m fine otherwise.”

“If you had an injection, there’s no fucking reason for you to be lightheaded,” he bit out. “I took too much.”

“You weren’t healing. You needed the blood. I’m fine,” I insisted.

“Kara shouldn’t have left you alone with me when she knew I was this hungry.” He stood up, and I bit back a moan at the way his cock drove deeper inside me with the motion.

Then, he set me on the edge of the bed and pulled out.

I wanted to hook my ankles around his ass and tell him not to leave, but something told me I’d already pushed him too much.

And now that I wasn’t on his lap, the worldwaskind of spinning.

Despite the spinning, I could see his face enough to realize that I’d done the right thing.

His skin had a lot more color than I’d ever seen. His face looked stronger. His entire body looked thicker. Hell, even those gorgeous, piercing blue eyes looked brighter.

The man had been starving himself, and I hadn’t even realized.

“I’m fine,” I insisted.

“Lay down. It’s going to take a few hours for your blood to regenerate,” he growled. “I have a doctor to kill.”

With that, he sped out of the room so fast, I couldn’t even tell him not to hurt her.

Sighing, I stared up at the ceiling.

Though Damian was a violent bastard, and insanely strong, I knew he wouldn’t kill his old friend. So, I didn’t bother going after him.

As soon as I was steady enough, I would sink to the bottom of the pool and let the water make all of my problems disappear for a while.

BLAIR

When I gotout of bed, I realized that I had a new problem.

Damian had locked the door from the outside.

Anger blazed through me.

I went to all the effort of feeding his grumpy, starving ass, and he locked me in a hospital room?

There wasn’t even a shower! Just a toilet in the corner!

What was wrong with him?

Luckily, my phone was on the table beside the bed.

I made my way over to it slowly, pausing for a moment to grab the back of a chair when I nearly collapsed. After I was steady again, I finally got the phone and sat back down on the edge of the bed.

Considering the many intricacies of the situation, I couldn’t risk calling Zora or Izzy. They would hate Damian if they learned that he’d locked me in, and they’d refuse to acknowledge my ownfault in the situation. Both of them could hold grudges like no one else.

Clementine and Zora were the closest of all of us, so I couldn’t call Clem. Zora would find out, and that grudge would happen anyway.

But I did have one sister who I could trust to keep a secret, without holding it against Damian. Considering I was going to spend my entire immortal life with him, that seemed somewhat important.

I dialed her number and lifted my phone to my ear. She answered immediately.
