“Do you go around kissing all the beautiful women you see?”
“Told ya. Only ever done that with you.”
“I amnotthe first beautiful woman you have seen.”
“How would you know?”
She threw her hands up in defeat. “Seriously? I’ve walked around Greenlee. All the women here are stone-cold foxes.”
“Wolves,” he said. “Stone-cold wolves.”
“Whatever. You know what I mean. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a beautiful woman out here. It’s like you all got blessed with hotness.”
“It’s a shifter thing.”
“So, see. You admit it.” She pointed to herself. “Not the first beautiful woman you’ve seen.”
“Yup.”
“You’re impossible.”
“Never said otherwise. It’s the color of your hair,” he said. “I’ve never seen that shade before. Then there’s your eyes. Amazing shade of hazel. It makes for a really irresistible package.”
“You still can’t go around kissing women without permission.”
“Fine. I won’t kiss you again unless you give me permission. But youdidkiss back.”
She snorted. “I won’t give you permission. Ever again. There’s just no way that can happen again.”
“Why not?”
She huffed. “Because I am not free. I can’t …” She pushed away her untouched breakfast. “Because I have a sister to save.”
“Lilliane. Right. You think she wants to be saved?”
“Oh, of course, she wants to be saved. What a thing to ask.”
“Well, from what Reece told me, she chose to leave. The vampire council would have probably left her alone, but she said she wanted to go. So she went. That doesn’t sound like she was taken against her will.”
“You don’t know her.”
“Then explain it to me.”
“Why would you even care?”
“Just humor me. I’m not going anywhere, so you might as well make conversation.” He took another mouthful of his meal to demonstrate just how comfortable he was onherfront porch.
“Lilliane is a people pleaser. She would have gone to make sure our father was okay. She would have gone to make sure he got the seat on the council like he wanted.”
“That’s a hell of a sacrifice to make.”
“I know. That’s why I’m sure she didn’twantto go.”
“Have you spoken to her?”
She shook her head. “She isn’t answering my calls.”
“Ah. Maybe she doesn’t know how to explain her choice to you.”
