seed.
Paige collapsed over him, happy and sated.
“Is it safe to come out now?” a voice asked from the bathroom.
She jolted and would have jumped off the bed if Grant hadn’t tightened his hold. She had completely forgotten about Sam. Hadn’t even heard the shower turn off.
Grant chuckled in her ear before kissing it. He rolled them over and pulled the covers up to her chin.
“Yeah man, you can come out,” Grant told Sam, humour evident in his voice.
Sam opened the bathroom door looking as embarrassed as Paige felt. She groaned and pulled the covers over her head.
“Paige,” Grant teased, peeking under the covers. He was laughing, that slime.
“This isn’t funny. I forgot about him,” she grumbled.
That just made Grant laugh harder. “Well baby, I’m not complaining.”
She kicked him in the leg.
Then she heard Sam laughing too. She stuck her head out from under the covers. “Are you laughing too?”
To his credit, he tried to school his face but in the end couldn’t do it and a grin broke out. “Sorry.”
But he didn’t look sorry—he looked amused. And when she looked at Grant, he had his arms bent behind his head, looking pleased with himself.
Paige growled at him and pulled the blanket off, wrapping it around her body and leaving him naked and alone in bed. Standing, she made sure she was completely covered before walking to the bathroom.
“Hey, where are you going?” Grant called after her.
“To shower,” she told him, faking anger. He didn’t look like he was buying it though.
Sam cleared his throat drawing both of their attention. “We need to head back. A girl came into the compound. She’s one of the missing.”
Paige looked over at Grant and watched the hope fill his face.
“It’s not Jess,” Sam told Grant sympathetically.
Grant nodded and stood up from the bed. “Okay, we’ll shower and leave.”
Paige turned and went into the bathroom, her heart breaking for Grant.
They drove from sun down to sun up until they made it back to California. Paige stayed nervous the entire time and kept quiet. A little more information had come in about the girl.
It wasn’t Grant’s sister, Jess, but it was one of the other girls that had escaped with them. Paige had run into Tasha about a month ago as she was making her way to California.
They had holed up in an old dingy hotel for two days, discussing and sharing everything they had learned.
After the five of girls had escaped during what she now knew was an attempt to rescue them, they had all gone their separate ways. It had been Jess’s idea, saying it would be harder for to track one woman than five together.
All five had finally agreed.
So after two days with Tasha, Paige had taken off again. The most important thing had been to stay hidden. She regretted that now.
If they had stayed together and both made their way to the compound, Tasha may have been saved a whole lot of pain.
Marissa had called and told Grant that Tasha had been beaten and almost drained. One of the patrol teams had found her near death.
Paige couldn’t wait to finally get to the woman and try to make up for leaving her.
When the elevator doors opened, Grant took hold of her hand. They walked down the hall to where two vampires stood guard. Grant nodded to them and they stepped aside.
Sam opened the door and went in first. Grant walked in next, pulling Paige along.
It was a room like the others in the compound. This one was all white with only a bed. Marissa stood next to the bed. She’d had her eyes closed but opened them as they entered.
Paige looked at the woman on the bed. “Tasha,” she whispered.
She started towards the bed but Grant pulled her back against him. She looked at him questioningly but he shook his head.
“Paige?”
Paige turned towards the beds one more time. Soft brown eyes met hers.
“Tasha,” Paige breathed her name.
Tasha’s eyes widened. “Paige, what are you doing here?” she cried out and sat
