I want to leave!” His auburn head rose, and he pinned me with a savage glare. “You want to leave?” I shuddered with fright. “Yes.

He rarely cared about what others thought of him—not even the Vampire King could intimidate him. And yet he felt dread at the thought of his woman fearing him. But why?

Brandon asked, reaching for my hand. I gave it to him, even though part of me wanted to keep my arms folded in defiance. “Awful.” There were no two ways about it. “Oh, I’m sure it wasn’t that bad,” he said, trying to be reassuring. A woman on the TV screamed as a clown jumped out of the shadows, and I realized they were watching the new remake of Stephen King’s It.
