What? I stepped out of the shower sopping wet and butt naked. "Paul!"
He stalked out of the bathroom.
"Paul, will you please wait?"
He ignored me and continued walking.
I materialized in front of him and blocked the bedroom door. "Paul, please don't go like this. I didn't mean what I said."
His face was cold. He reached beneath the collar of his shirt until he was gripping the crucifix. He undid the clasp and handed it to me.
I took it. "I hear everything you're saying," I whispered. "I swear I do."
"Let me pass."
I stepped aside. "Paul, what can I do to make you stay?"
He reached to open the door. "You offer me that? Now?" His eyes swept my body. "When you smell like s*x with another man, I mean, Vampire?"
I put my arms across my breasts and felt tears slip down my face.
