When
his eyes collided with mine, all the air left me. It was like my body was a
helium balloon and he was the pin. One puncture and it was all over. His gaze
was like that. Like a needle jabbing me. It wasn’t the fact that his eyes were
a silver color I’d never seen before. It was the intensity behind them. It was
the fact that I could see into his very soul. I was being sucked in like Alice

“Good
thing you’re not a vampire,” I said in a shaky voice. Even though I was trying
to act nonchalant on the outside, nothing inside of me felt calm at all. Not
with him standing this close. “Between the nosebleed and me cutting my hand
open, you would have so bitten my neck by now.”
He
froze, his gaze dropping to my neck. With his free hand, he reached up and
touched it gingerly as if by my mere mention of it, I had made it impossible
not to. My pulse throbbed, and I sucked in a breath.
A
nervous laugh escaped. “Is this the part of the story where you tell me I’ve
figured out your secret and that you are indeed a vampire?”
“No,
this is the part of the story where I tell you that I would never bite you. I
would never hurt you at all.” His fingers ran along my neckline, at the trail
of bruises Heath had left. I was immobilized, unable to move and hardly able to
breathe. When he drew his hand away, I finally exhaled.

Kyler’s
eyes softened around the edges. “Jade, your scars only make you more
beautiful.”
“Oh,
please.” I snorted. “This is not a scene from one of your books.” I pushed away
from the counter and turned my back on Kyler. “My scars don’t make me
beautiful. They make me hideous.”
“Don’t
say that. Don’t ever say that again.” His voice was firm.
I
grabbed at the fabric of my pants, rolling it between my fingers. I understood
now. Kyler was no different from the others. Sure, his intentions may have been
nobler, but he wanted what they all wanted. To control me. To make me obey.
