Alex automatically prepared her
usual breakfast by heating a couple of toaster pastries and microwaving a cup
of instant coffee. Nibbling at her
breakfast, she stared out the kitchen window, not seeing the abandoned house decaying
creepily across the road. Her thoughts
were far from that eerie sight.
She mused over Colwyn’s strange
behavior the night before. What had he
wanted to ask her but been unable to? To
see such a huge, confident man so unsure of himself fascinated her. In that moment, she’d almost forgotten his
demonic side. Despite the thrum of his
presence, he seemed wholly human
and someone she could genuinely like.
His smile softened his strong features and made the granite face
attractive. Seeing him unguarded like
that made her wish for ignorance of his ancestry.
Her thoughts startled her, and Alex
almost dropped her cup. Coffee sloshed
onto the tile floor and splashed her bare toes.
She swore at the sudden burn.
She grabbed a handful of paper
towels and wiped up the spill almost savagely.
What in the hell am I
thinking? He’s a demi-demon for God’s
sake!
