Kissed By Fire
“Even a shower didn’t cool me down, so I threw on some clothes and headed for Hyde Park. I hoped a good, fast walk would burn some of the edge off the anger and hopefully allow the hotel maid time to get rid of the evidence.
Gods, I was such an idiot. I’d let Jack do this to me not once, but twice. I guess this time it really was fool me twice.
Under all the anger, though, was pain. I really didn’t want to look at that pain, but it was there, burning through my gut like acid. Anger was so much e...asier to deal with than heartache, but heartache would eat you alive if you let it.
I managed to get a short way into the park before the anger burned out and I dropped onto a park bench. I swallowed hard, willing myself not to cry. Bad ass Vampire Hunters did not cry. Especially not over a stupid man without the sense the gods gave a turnip.
Hot tears trickled down my cheeks. I swiped them away, but that didn’t stop them from coming. It was a good thing I hadn’t bothered with makeup.
I don’t know how long I sat there, collar turned against the chill wind, wrapped in my own misery.MoreLess
