Suzanna being jumpy. He can’t read my mind, can he?
                  She decided to lie. “Remember that bruise I got yesterday?”
    
              Luke nodded, looking slightly confused.
                  Kim pushed the sleeve of her robe up and showed him her forearm. “It disappeared. After only a couple of hours.”
                  Luke’s eyes widened so quickly Kim thought they would pop out of his head. “What the fuck?”              He seized her arm and brought it close to his face, eyes scanning her skin for any trace of the blemish.
                  Wow, she thought nervously. That’s not the reaction I expected.
                  “You didn’t put anything on it?” He demanded. “Creams, lotions, a heating pad? Anything?”
                  “No,” Kim said. She pulled her arm back, regarding him warily. “I don’t get why you’re so freaked out. This is just a side effect of the bond, right?”
                  Luke pressed his lips together tightly. “Probably,” he allowed. “But it’s still weird. Just like the strength of the bond itself. Neither of these things happen before at least one bite.”
                  Luke’s face was painted with worry. Kim wasn’t sure if she was happy lying; it certainly threw him off the scent of what had really been bothering her, but now she was worried about two things.
                  She forced herself to smile. “We’ll chalk it up to a mystery. I’m sure it’s not a big deal.”
                  Luke bit his lip. “I don’t know. Maybe it was fluke this time. Maybe it just looked worse than it actually was. Maybe it won’t-- where are you going?”
                  Kim had stood and began to walk toward her kitchen. “Those are a lot of maybes. Let’s do an experiment, shall we?”
                  She pulled open her cutlery drawer and took out a steak knife. She heard Luke’s footsteps move into the kitchen at the same time the blade bit into the skin of her forearm.
                  “ Kim!”
                  Luke’s blinding speed wasn’t fast enough to stop her. Kim had made one quick slice on top of her arm in the time it took him to cross her kitchen. She watched the blood well up in the space of the four-inch cut, forming a neat line for a moment before slowly oozing toward her elbow.
                  “Why?” Luke asked angrily. He grabbed a roll of paper towels and tore some off, holding them to her cut a little harder than was necessary. Kim was surprised to see that he was livid – his hands shook somewhat as he pressed the paper towels to her skin, meaning a few drops splashed to the floor. She was even more surprised to find that she could feel his anger on him, like a heat wave rolling off his body. That must be his aura, she realized. I can read it.
                  “I think it’s going to be okay,” Kim said slowly. “It’s not that deep. Besides, now we can see how fast it heals.” She looked at him closely. “You know. Like an experiment.”
                  Luke’s nostrils were flaring, and he was looking away from her. He didn’t respond.
                  Damn it. “Luke, I’m sorry. I guess I’m impulsive sometimes.” She pressed her hand on top of his and fought to make eye contact. “I’m going to be fine, though. I’m sorry if I freaked you out.”
                  His silence started to chip at her confidence, but instead of feeling fear, she started to feel anger, too. “Talk to me. Answer me. Don’t act like a fucking baby, okay? I already have one of those.”
                  Luke finally raised his gaze to hers. “I know you’re going to be fine. I’m a vampire, Kim. You spill blood around me it’s going to get uncomfortable. I’m
