cheeks. Trying to console her, Kate patted her hand. “I could have told you bringing her here wouldn’t have been acceptable.”
Fuming, I clenched my teeth. If I’d been the teacher, Marissa would have received an A+ and extra credit, too.
A puddle of water sat on the stage where the water creature had been. The next four students slipped on the wet floor, and the teacher, scowling the whole time, stopped the proceedings until she could get a janitor to mop up the floor.
The stage and the students, the teacher and the theater shifted, darkened, vanished.
I opened my eyes and listened for the sound of Marissa stirring, but I sensed her mind was finally cloaked in deep sleep, thank the stars.
If Marissa had been sucked into the dream swap while she slept, I sincerely hoped she hadn’t seen Lynetta kissing me, or how much I’d enjoyed it. I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair. I had a sneaking suspicion she’d be ticked off at me in the morning.
Chapter 7
DOMINIC
Early the next morning, I entered the kitchen. No sign of Marissa yet, though I’d heard her clunking around in the bathroom, so she was probably doing whatever girls do to make themselves presentable. Poor things. It didn’t take any time at all for us guys to rejoin the world and still be our handsome selves. Though it helped that I no longer had to shave, which was a remarkable vampiric trait I totally agreed with.
I, the Prince of Darkness, had been certain the love of my life who called out my name with such hostility before she fell asleep truly didn’t wish to see me. Hopefully, the dreams she’d borne were not too disturbing. If Marissa enjoyed a good night’s sleep, she’d be more reasonable. Then she’d see how her new abilities could benefit her. How many other witches did she know that could do the things, whatever they might be, that she could?
Seeing in the dark was one of the most remarkable feats I enjoyed. I hoped if I was saved from being turned fully, that I might still keep some of the more admirable traits…like seeing my lovely soul mate without any kind of light, natural or otherwise. The cursed desire for blood, my skin’s aversion to the sun’s rays, and my fangs extending when angered or hungry for blood—I would thankfully do without.
I glanced out the three big windows where a light oak breakfast table sat to see what kind of day we were in for. To the north, a dark blue wall headed our direction, thunder grumbling in the distance around Dallas, and sparks of lightning flared to light up the darkness. A thick blanket of clouds hung high overhead—another spring storm was headed our way. No sun to bother my sensitive skin. Good, I could go to school with Marissa.
Marissa stalked into the kitchen dressed in black jeans and a black T-shirt with a red universal hazard symbol embossed on it and beneath this in bright red letters, Boy Hazard was written. My lips twitched with amusement. She definitely was. A light floral fragrance she wore wafted in the air, triggering my need to lift my nose and take my fill. Another great attribute at times, my sense of smell had vastly improved. The downside was being able to smell offensive odors better, too. But Marissa’s appearance instantly brought to mind the notion of having a good morning kiss.
She glanced in my direction, scowled, and quickly turned away. I was sure she wasn’t thinking of good morning kisses. Dark circles appeared beneath her clear blue eyes. The low rounded neck of her shirt exposed the two tiny bite marks, but they were barely visible. Only a small bit of yellow bruising marred the area.
Instantly, the human part of me regretted even so much as causing her the slightest bit of discomfort. The vampire side of me couldn’t help but feel I’d claimed my soul mate for all eternity. She was mine now, and I even felt more possessive of her than I had when I first caught sight of her, if that was possible. Even last night, if some guy had made a
