My cell phone vibrated from my pocket. Probably Mollie again. I pulled it out to turn it off, but the name on it made me stop. Jasper. Finally. I released the breath I wasn’t aware I had been holding in. I didn’t even want to know where he had been anymore. But I knew that was a lie so I opened his message. Hey. Just got back to the motel. Sorry. Again.

That’s it? I huffed. I had been about ready to go out searching for this man in the dead of the night, and all I got was a sorry? This was ridiculous. If he thought he could just brush off my messages, he was in for a rude awakening. Fuelled by alcohol and

embarrassment, and messaged back. Don’t worry about it. I didn’t expect too much from you anyway.

Now I was a liar, too. I had expected a lot from him. But I shouldn’t have.

Jasper’s response pinged up almost immediately. What’s that supposed to mean?

I rolled my eyes and stuffed my phone back into my pocket. Asshole. As if he didn’t know. Whatever. I had more important things to do -- like drink. And be pissed at him. Now I knew he was at least safe, I could drink in peace. I wasn’t sure why I didn’t drink more often. It made me forget all my insecurities, all my anxieties.

I pulled Betty closer and closed my eyes, imagining my future as a kick ass Venator. Next time, I’d be prepared. I’d know better. I wondered if they made leather pants that were both badass looking and comfortable. In my pocket, my phone started ringing. I ignored it without looking. I didn’t know who it was, and I didn’t really care. It immediately started ringing again. I picked it up, but didn’t say anything. Maybe they would go away if they thought the line was dead.

“What the hell did that message mean, Green?” Jasper’s angry voice flooded my ear. Loud. Too loud.

Ugh. “Nothing. It meant nothing. Why are you calling me now? You didn’t seem too concerned about keeping me in the loop earlier.”

Jasper didn’t sound any less angry. “I was busy. I told you I would call you later. So now I’m calling you. Later.”

The booze was blurring his words, and I couldn’t focus on what he was saying. I was angry I had spent an entire evening worrying about someone who was fine the whole time. “You didn’t trust me enough to tell me what you were actually doing,” I accused.

Jasper sounded exasperated. “I trust you. Of course I trust you.”

I rolled my eyes again, even though he couldn’t see me. “Sure, okay.”

“Are you drunk?”

I didn’t think I was. But I couldn’t remember how much I had drunk or what I was actually mad about anymore. Except Jasper was a jerk. “Noooo way,” I said. “You

didn’t bother telling me the truth about tonight. You don’t need to update me on your schedule since you already screwed me.”

The line was silent. It was quiet for one moment, then two.

Then, so quietly I had to strain to hear him. “Say it to my face, Green.”

Was I hearing him right? “What?”

His voice was low and dangerous. “You heard me. You want to be a big bad Venator. Turn off your whiny music and come say that to my face.”

Torri Heat has always loved control. Her mind was blown when she discovered she could control entire worlds through story writing. Throw some steamy romance in there, and it was pretty close to perfection. Torri loves dark heroes who ride off into the sunset on their motorcycles, fierce heroines who can fend for themselves, and a sprinkle of the paranormal to keep things interesting. When she's not creating alternate realities you can find her managing her three ring circus of kids and animals.
