Into the Darkness
“He’d never really let her close, never shared the intimate details of his life.
Sure, they’d spent half their waking lives in each other’s company. But she couldn’t claim to really know him.
However, she did know he didn’t particularly like preternatural creatures. He distrusted what he couldn’t explain.
Over time, he’d come to tolerate her well, despite the fact she had a second strike against her.
Rene hadn’t wanted a female partner of any kind. Ever.
It had taken deliberately choreographed i...ncidents to prove her physical abilities. Without revealing the true extent of her powers, she’d cultivated a relationship with him built on mutual respect. Eventually, he’d come to trust she wouldn’t let him down or get in his way.
Tonight had dashed her hopes he’d ever see her as a potential lover. After this, he’d have eyes only for Natalie.
Over the years, she’d taken lovers for blood and sex, but she’d carefully avoided entanglement. Although the hurt that kept her heart apart and untouched was decades old, she’d been unwilling to risk it again.MoreLess
