Bitten By the Vampire (2011)
“The book suited her mood.
A familiar scent of woodsy spice teased her nostrils. Mara looked up to see Lucien in the doorway. Dressed in a black cashmere sweater and black wool trousers, he looked urbane as ever. Except this time he appeared weary and spent. Lines bracketed his mouth and there were purple shadows beneath his eyes.
He looked as if he hadn’t slept at all. Not since she climbed out of his bed and locked herself in one of the guest bedrooms. She set the book down and gave him a pointed look.
“Checking up on me?”
“Lunch is ready downstairs.” He sat in the armchair’s twin, feet firmly planted on the polished wood floor. “Your powers should return by nightfall. In the meantime, you should eat to regain your strength.”
“So you can use me as your private blood bank again? No thanks. I’ll starve.”
“You must eat, Mara.”
Ignoring her grumbling stomach she shrugged. Wishing she were anywhere but here. Wishing she was anything but who she was. No one trusted her.
