else to trust, and I'm even leery of them sometimes."
"Even Craig?" I cocked a brow.
"Not him, but all the others." He brushed his hand out, flicking it suggestively.
"Kellan, they chose to come. If they wanted, they could have slapped a tracker on us, sold ou r location to the enemy and left us defenseless, but they didn't and won't. They're going above and beyond risking themselves for us, for me, and truthfully, I feel better knowing they're here to back us. It means there's less of a chance I'll lose you." Tears began to gather despite trying to hold them off. I'd acted foolish with my relationship, dismissed Kellan and his feelings, hurt the one I loved over the one I liked. I couldn't picture my life forever with Kai like I could with Kellan. I d id n't know what I'd do without him.
He drie d my cheeks with his thumbs. "Don't cry babe. We agreed, no more tears. You're right. This is something we'd have to face eventually and I'd rather do it with back up. And for the record, I let you go off with Kai. I knew I had to step back, no matter how much it hurt me, so you could decide for yourself who you wanted."
"I forgot you could read what I didn't project." I smiled as he wiped away my last stray tear. "Which reminds me, I can't possibly look cute right now."
"I didn't think cut e , I thought -"
"I know!" I yelled, breaking out in laughter. "I replaced the word."
"Can't handle the thought of yourself being -"
"Kellan!" I smacked his upper arm.
"Uh, everything is good, yes?" Matteo checked. I faced him, my face flushing. I'd completely forgotten about him.
"Yes, sorry. I will go with you alone." I turned to Kellan, waiting for his protest.
"I don't like it, but yes, you can go alone." His expre ss ion was full of concern and worry even as he contemplated the answer he’d just given . "Promise me you'll be safe."
"I will. I promise." I reached up and kissed his cheek.
"If anything happens to her, it's on your fucking head!" Matteo stiffened at Kellan's words; clearly he understood his implication.
"We should go, yes?" Matteo checked.
"Yes, let me change clothes and grab my stuff, then I'll meet you at the car."
"Want me to follow you?" Kellan asked as I turned towards the luggage on the bed. He came up behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist as he nuzzled my neck.
"I'll be fine. I can fend for myself. I'm a vamp too, remember?" I smiled as he kissed my pulse point.
"I remember. How can I forget?" He inhaled me sending a shiver down my spine.
"I should go babe." I turned in his arms to face him. He stole my lips before I could take a breath. I responded quickly, eagerly as he devoured me. I dropped my wallet on the bed to freely run my fingers through his hair. His hands traveled south, cupping my rear and squishing me into his growing desire.
At the sound of a throat being cleared, I pulled away earning an agitated growl from Kellan. His head snapped towards the door where Kalel stood, arms crossed, lips pursed and brows nearly a straight line as he scowled.
"I'm going to take a cold shower," Kellan grumbled. "Be safe." He kissed me one last time before escaping to the bathroom.
"Sorry to interrupt," Kalel relaxed his stance.
"It's ok. I need to change and leave anyways."
"Where are you going?"
"The embassy with Matteo."
"I don't trust the kid."
"Apparently no one does. Kellan said the same thing."
Kalel narrowed his eyes. "You're going alone?"
"He said they only wanted me."
"They've made exceptions before and allowed vampires in." His frown deepened. "I agree with blue balls. I don't like this."
I cut my eyes at him. "Be nice, and don't worry. I can take care of myself."
"Not alone against a multitude of vampeens whose strength blows yours away."
"I'm not a weakling, Kalel " I said, busying myself by picking out an outfit from my bag .
"You're also not old enough to be stronger than most of them."
"I have my necklace," I countered. I palmed the
