figure he found out what area you lived in and was trying to find you. He’s been questioning random women and when they weren’t you, he killed them.”
    My heart dropped as he spoke. These women had died because of me. I felt tears building up. I didn’t want to cry in front of Ezra or Gavin but I didn’t think I could hold them back. I was truly scared for my life. I wanted to hide somewhere away from everyone. What about my mother? What if Damon went after her? Damon was a killer and would kill me if he had the chance.
    On top of all of this, my own father couldn’t even come tell me the news in person, he had to send two of his people to protect me. I knew he was a dead beat dad, but this topped the charts.
    Ezra stood up and knelt in front of me, pulling me into a tight embrace. His sweet gesture was very comforting. I felt like I belonged in his arms.
    “ Don’t worry, Em. We are here for you,” Ezra gently whispered in my ear. His husky voice sent a wave of hot tingles down my body, and at that moment I was very thankful that Gavin was in the room chaperoning. Ezra pulled away and tucked a flyaway hair behind my ear. Again with the shivers. This guy was a pro. We stared into each other’s eyes, and I felt safe again. No one could touch me while I was with Ezra. He was my knight in shining armor.
    Gavin cleared his throat, reminding me that we were making it awkward for him and bringing me back to reality. I stood up quickly and headed for the kitchen.
    “ What are you doing?” Ezra asked as I opened the cabinet under the sink.
    “ Cleaning.” I sighed. It would be nice to finally have a normal guy to call my own but it would never work out. Ezra came with mind reading baggage and Gavin came with chick drama. Both sound like players, plus I had more important things on my mind, like a killer vampire who was out to get me so I could perform a spell on him. I started wiping down the counter.
    “ I have never in my life cast a spell, or whatever, so why would this guy come after me? Who says that I can actually do witchy stuff? I don’t even know if I believe in all that hocus pocus mumbo jumbo.” I put away some dishes from the dish washer. What would the guy do kidnap me and expected me to know how to do a spell. Two minutes ago I didn’t even know that I was a witch or that I had witch potential.
    “ Your father has been watching you your entire life from afar. He knows you have more than potential, you are the real thing,” Ezra replied to my thoughts.
    I really needed to get him out of my head. Wonder if there is a spell for that.
    In response, he gave me a melt in your mouth, gleaming smile. I was such a sucker. I glared at him in return.
    “ I need to go inform headquarters of your attack. Do you want me to bring you dinner tonight?” Gavin asked as he stood. I had almost forgotten he was still there.
    “ Yeah, that would be nice, thank you,” I replied.
    “ Chinese ok?” he asked politely.
    “ Yeah, that’s cool,” I answered.
    “ O positive for you, Ezra?” Gavin glared at Ezra and I could feel the energy bouncing off the two. Giving up, Gavin left me alone with Ezra. I was nervous for about two seconds but then decided now was a good time to have a chat. I stopped my cleaning punishment and walked back into the living room.
    “ We need to talk,” I informed him.
    “ Usually that would scare a man but since I already know what you’re thinking, it saves us time.” Ezra smiled.
    “ Seriously, you have got to get out of my head. Not only is it rude, it’s embarrassing. And it’s so unattractive,” I told him as sternly as I possibly could. He had to realize that I was fed up with it. I wanted my thoughts back.
    After a minute of silence he finally sighed and gave up. “Ok, I’m sorry. I’ll try to stay out of your head.”
    That was too easy and I knew there would be a but somewhere. He sat down beside me on the couch and scooted close. I could feel his breath on my
