sitting with her next to the tub. He turned on the water and quickly stripped Raven’s clothing from her. Trying not to look at her body, he quickly wiped off the dirt and grime. Afterwards, he stood and carried her into the bedroom, laying her on the bed. Glancing at her, Kristian felt his body responding to her nakedness. He quickly grabbed one of his shirts to cover her,then pulled the covers over her then went to wash up.
He sighed. The sun would be up soon and he needed to rest. He lay beside Raven and for the first time in his life felt completely relaxed as he went to sleep.
Kristian had only been asleep for a few moments before he heard Shane’s voice.
“Score one for my man, Kristian. Finally living up to his…”
“Shane, go away,” Kristian growled then snuggled closer to Raven.
Kristian heard Shane inhale deeply, then snarl at him.
“No. What the hell is the slayer doing here? Do you know she is a slayer? Are you willing to die while you are sleeping? You know she will do it once she finds out what we are. Once she knows we are vampires, we are dead.”
“Times have changed, Shane. The Council protects us now. The magical spell around us lets a slayer know we are good. Their radar doesn’t go all crazy when we are around.”
“Hell, I don’t trust that crap, and even if I did, that doesn’t explain why she is here.”
Since Shane wasn’t going to shut up, Kristian decided to get up and explain everything to him — even down to his feeling that Raven might be his mate.
Chapter 5
Raven opened her eyes, slowly awakening from what felt like the best sleep she’d ever had. Her body was relaxed, not tensed as it had been for the past months. Her head was not pounding against her skull causing her agonizing pain. She could not remember the last time she had awakened to such peace.
Her peaceful morning quickly reversed at the feel of someone’s arm draped across her waist. Her body immediately tensed knowing that no one should be in her bed. As if reality slapped her in the face, the room became clear and she could see that she was not home. Not in her own bed. If she was not home, where the heck was she?
Slowly, she tried to ease from under the arm around her waist, but it only tightened on her, holding her closer. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she turned her head, looking at who lay beside her.
Her tension eased from her body when she looked at the face of the man who had eased her pain. His face was sculptured to perfection. God had not forgotten any features when it came to making this man…er…whatever Kristian actually was. His pale skin glowed in the moonlight. She could not find one single flaw about Kristian. His hair was long, thick, needing to be touched.
Raven sighed, then looked away from Kristian. As much as she wanted to stay in his arms, she could not. Kristian had a lot of things to explain to her. Things she knew she would not be prepared to accept.
The arm around her waist tightened more, keeping her pinned when she tried to roll out of bed again.
“Where are you going?” His voice sent a chill up her spine, stopping her movements.
It was not a cold chill — more a burning flame that travelled through her. His voice had ignited a passion deep in the pit of her body, and she knew then she had to get away from Kristian before she did something stupid like have sex with him. She had only been with one guy, one time about a year ago, but the sex was so bad that they did not try it again.
“I um…I have to go to the restroom. You know, girly things.”
When he didn’t release her she rolled onto her back, getting a better look at him.
Kristian’s eyes opened and he watched her closely.
Raven knew she’d lost a war she didn’t know she’d been fighting. Kristian had captured her heart and she didn’t know anything about him, which made the situation worse. She didn’t fall in love with a man she didn’t know.
