Page 116 of The Vampire's Storm

Well, technically, twice. Hot sex, then cold sex. That was the best way to summarize both experiences with Logan.

Turning, she tipped her head back, let the water run over her hair ,and attempted to swallow down her tears.

If he hated humans so much, why had he bothered with her in the first place. She wasn’t expecting a diamond ring, but she did expect respect.

At best, a little kindness.

What happened to you are mine, little mouse? One minute he’d been shooting other vampires death stares and kissing her in the hallways, making her giggle. Then, like a lightbulb, his emotions had turned off.

She washed the shampoo out of her hair and skipped through her memories.

Everything had changed when Sage had called her back to discuss going inside BioZen.

Oh. Was that it?

Stop saying my name human. BioZen fucking scientist.

Was that what made Logan suddenly do a one-eighty change? Did he not know she’d previously worked there?

Surely Logan didn’t think she’d been part of the experiments? She hadn’t known anything about vampires until Sage and Ari had invited her for dinner one night and proposed the job offer.

Nor would she ever work in a place doing such unethical work.

He always thought the worst of her because of what others did. Well, aside from the fact she did have blood on her hands.

Her brother’s.

She squirted conditioner onto her hands and grumbled to herself. Logan was so damn blind because of his prejudices. He would never accept who and what she was and would always be disgusted by her very existence.

When would he turn on her next time?

When he learned she had a distant German relative? Because she did. From like, three generations ago.

And so what?

Not everyone was evil.

Most people were just trying to live their lives, be happy, stay safe, and hope like hell there were good leaders in the world who stopped making fucked-up decisions.

You could only control so much.

Logan hated humans. Therefore, he hated her. The end.

Apparently.

Too bad she’d somehow let him into her heart after one stupid, passionate encounter. Yes, she’d fallen for the damn vampire.

Fast.

Like the fool she was.

It was in the little things he’d done. How he’d escorted her to the gym and made sure she was safe. Showing up at her room with her door key. Protecting her in the lab when the king came barreling in and terrifying her. His body had moved like lightening, pushing her behind him as his hand brushed across her skin to calm her.

How they’d lay talking and he’d teased her, while she trembled in excitement to just be naked in his arms.

Her silly little heart did pitter-patters when the large vampire was acting all strong and caring.

Yet, his Jekyll and Hyde act hurt.
