stroked my cheek.  He pushed a strand of my hair from my face, and then fisted his hand in the mass of it behind my head. Firmly but gently he pulled my face towards him and kissed me.  There was warmth in his kiss, so much different from kissing Grey. 
    I pressed my body against his, and slid my hands up his strong arms and onto his shoulders.  We kissed innocently and sweetly at first, lips brushed gently, light touches. I bit softly at his bottom lip. The kiss grew more urgent and passionate.   I wanted to touch his hair, so I slipped my hand into his wavy locks.  My hand gently graced the top of his pointed ear. 
    Pointed?  How could this be?  They weren’t pointed the last time.  Finn sensing a change released my hair, and gave me a puzzled look.  Well hell, I might as well ask, because as far as I know human males don’t have pointed ears. “Finn, have you experienced any, uhm…changes lately?”  “Such as?” he asked hesitantly.  I fidgeted and unconsciously began to rub the top of my right ear.  “Well, like your ears becoming pointed?” “You noticed that, huh?” he said embarrassed.  “Is it new?”  “Yes, it is.  I know it is weird, but that isn’t all sometimes the weather changes around me.  I can’t figure any of this out,” he sighed, relieved to say it out loud.  “Don’t worry Finn, it isn’t weird.  Not to me at least, this might be hard for you to wrap your brain around though.  Let’s go to your room, and I will explain the best I can.” 
    I pressed my hand against the window to gather my thoughts and I got a flash of what was transpiring between Dean and Anita.  They sat talking on a bench near a cluster of trees.  “So you’re a shape shifter,” Anita said.  “How long have you known?” Dean asked.  “I suspected it was you last night when I saw you in the tree because you smelled familiar, but when I smelled the pine on you in class today I knew for sure.” “How could you smell that?” Dean questioned.
    Anita laughed, “Well, I have a secret of my own.  I guess since I know yours it is only fair you know mine.  Brace yourself,” Anita warned and grinned showing her fangs.  Dean tilted his head in thought, “I knew it was something, but I really wasn’t expecting that. I mean I’ve seen you out during the day. I thought you were a witch.”  “I’m only half-vampire.  It is a long story, but another vampire, who is sort of a friend, stopped my attack but I still half changed.  I have all of their strength and the appearance, but none of their weaknesses.  Well, almost none,” she said with a smile.  Dean bumped into her shoulder with his, “Aren’t we a pair?”  “Yeah, I suppose so,” Anita said with a smile. 
    “Does Chloë know about you?” Dean asked.  Anita laughed, “Chloë…uhmmm….Lets just say your secret would be safe with her.  Anything beyond that and I should just let her tell you herself,” Anita said.  “Is there something you aren’t telling me?” Dean asked?  “Plenty, actually we should probably go talk to her because there is a situation she and I are in the middle of right now and we could use your help if you are willing.”  “Okay, you’ve peaked my curiosity about her now anyway.  Let’s go,” Dean said. 
    “Are you all right?” Finn asked, pulling me from the vision. “Yes, just day dreaming again.”  I blinked my eyes several times to chase away the images of Anita and Dean.  Finn lightly brushed my hand, still trying to gain my full attention.  Warmth and a tingling raced through my veins.   It was like a static shock; it hurt, but I wanted to feel it again.
    We ran into Dean and Anita coming in from the other staircase.  “We’ll talk later,” I whispered to Finn, and kissed him on the cheek.  His deep blue eyes flashed a brilliant electric blue.  How could I have ever thought he was human?  Anita cocked her eyebrow at me, and I briefly put my finger to my
