Apparently I looked at him a little too long as he turned his attention on me.
“Is there something on my face?”
I glance away and feel my face flush with color.
“No, I was just lost in thought.”
Time to change the subject.
“Where are we going?”
All that answers me is silence. Deciding that he’s just not going to answer me I lean back to try to get some sleep. I wake a few hours later to sunset. I seem to be getting more and more like the vampires every day. I yawn, stretch and look at the time.
“We need to start thinking about dinner.”
Boy, I am getting better at making sure I eat. Anything to avoid an emergency ardeur feeding. Edward takes the next exit without saying a word and we grab something quick to eat, this time sitting inside the restaurant in silence. Once we are on the road again, and I’m wide awake, my patience ends.
“So are you going to tell me where we are going?”
At first I don’t think he’s going to answer. The pause stretches until just before I’m about to complain.
“Tell you what. You answer my question and I’ll answer yours.”
Damn. What’s he going to ask and how badly do I want to know where we’re going? I guess pretty badly. Fine.
“What’s your question and I’ll tell you if I’ll answer it or not.”
Edward very carefully keeps his eyes on the road.
“What were you thinking about during that kiss?”
Maybe I can bluff him.
“Which kiss?”
“The last one when you told me that you’d explain everything on the road…and don’t try to bluff your way out of explaining.”
Double damn! Ok, no bluffing. If I keep looking out the window maybe I can pretend someone else is having this conversation.
“Before I answer, you have to promise you’ll let me say everything before you make any smartass remarks.”
“You have my word.”
Deep breaths, I can do this.
“Alright, it took me a long time to get my love life straightened out. I was raised to believe that there was only one person for everyone and that only bad girls slept with someone they weren’t married to. Between dating Jean-Claude and Richard at the same time and the ardeur, those beliefs got ripped to shreds. Because of the ardeur I lost all control for a while and had to fight to get it back. To top it off, Micah and the pard were in my life and things just kept getting more and more confusing. I started separating myself from each issue to sort out my feelings and determine what I needed to weed out of my life. The complications were killing me.”
Taking a second to glance at Edward I’m relieved to find that he is still just looking out the windshield. Deep breaths, I started it, I can finish it.
“The first thing I did was move Micah and the pard into their own house. This was easier to do when Micah decided to get jealous and possessive of me when I had just begun to believe that he never would.”
So much for finding someone who would do anything to be with me. My fear that he was too good to be true was right all along. Damn, that still hurt.
“After that it got a little harder to sort out. I was still recognized as Richard’s Lupa but after everything we’d been through, I knew there was just no way there could ever be a future. I’m still Lupa but only until he finds a replacement. Either way, I’ll always be Bolverk. Things are strained between us but we are working on being just friends because of the Triumvirate. I mean, who wants to be pissed at each other for all eternity? I haven’t taken the fourth mark, and neither has Richard, but the offer is there. Since I could control the ardeur, my emergency feedings with Damian and Jason were unnecessary and I no longer needed my pomme de sang, Nathaniel. Since I’d formed a triumvirate, completely by accident, with Nathaniel, myself and Damian, we all live in my house together. I am the reason why Damian wakes every night. He is no longer bound to Jean-Claude, I am his master. Currently I have two lovers, Jean-Claude and Asher. I don’t believe details are necessary.”
I don’t think anyone will ever understand how hard it was for me to do make these decisions. Hell, most of them can’t even understand how I could have done what I did. I mean, even my best friend Ronnie couldn’t handle it. But I did what I felt was right and that’s all that matters. I finally get things clearer and here I go again, with Edward of all people. How can I feel this way about him? I’ve known him for six years and never a spark. One soul mate speech and a couple of kisses later and I can’t stop thinking about him. I pause, so long lost in thought, that Edward has to remind me of his presence.
“Is that all you were thinking about?”
No, but I don’t want to tell him the rest. Think he’ll buy it? Probably not.
“No. But I can’t tell you what else I need to say while we’re driving. I need to say it face to face and you need to pay attention to the road. Can we continue this when we stop for the night?”
Edward takes his time to answer me. He looks at me long enough for me to get nervous that we are going to run off the road but his gaze swings back just as I’m about to say something.
“OK. We’ll be stopping in about an hour.”
