were alone.
    Then Ryan’s voice filled my head. “AJ? You won’t believe who’s back,” he yelled.
    â€œShhhh,” Noah said, pinning me to the ground. “If we stay quiet, maybe they’ll give up and go away.”
    They were close enough that Noah could hear. What the hell was I doing? I closed my eyes and tried to focus. I forcefully pushed the red away and concentrated on white. I needed the white. I’d never been in a situation like this before; I had been a millisecond away from biting Noah.And I had no idea what biting him would do.
    What if I was venomous? Could one bite change him?
    Finally—the red began to slowly fade to white. I sighed with relief when my gums opened and my fangs disappeared.
    â€œOver here,” I yelled back. I reached down and pulled my bra strap back to my shoulder. “I’m so sorry, Noah. This was a mistake. I’m not ready.”
    I tried to wriggle away, but he tightened his hold.
    â€œYou seemed ready enough just a few seconds ago,” he snapped. “I never pegged you as a tease.”
    â€œAnd I never pegged you as a sleaze,” I retorted, finally pushing him off me. I grabbed my shirt from the ground and shrugged into it. “Bridget, Ryan! Can y’all hear me?”
    No answer. I had no idea how close they were because my hearing was still super sensitive. But Noah had heard them, too, so they couldn’t be too far away.
    We both stood. Noah huffed as he pulled his jeans up. Things had progressed a lot further than I’d realized. Thank God for Bridget and, as much as it pained me to admit it, Ryan.
    I heard footsteps, so I took a step in the direction of the sound.
    â€œWe’re not finished,” Noah growled, grabbing my arm. “You wrote me a check and now you’re going to cash it.”
    He crushed me against him, forcing my hand to his crotch as his mouth half-swallowed my face. Red glowed bright in my head. Fear and anger shot through me and I struggled to pull free. Panic burned my throat, and my gums started to tingle.
    I tried to stop them but couldn’t. My fangs forced their way out and sliced into Noah’s tongue. He screamed and pushed me away.
    â€œYou bit me! You bitch!”
    â€œYou forced me to touch you. You’re lucky that’s all I did,” I muttered from behind my hands. But there was no need. My fangs had already receded like good little teeth.
    Bridget and Ryan both called my name again, but this time I could tell they were close.
    â€œOver here!” I yelled.
    Bridget raised her eyebrows, her eyes darting from me to Noah as she approached. He had picked up his shirt and was using it to wipe the blood off his face.
    â€œUm. Did we come at a bad time?” she asked.
    â€œNo, you came at the perfect time,” I said. “I thought Ryan was with you.”
    â€œI’m here,” Ryan said, his aura turning black when helooked at Noah. But when Ryan looked at me, his brown eyes shined dark with pain, not anger.
    â€œAnd I’m here, too,” a once-familiar voice said as someone else stepped into my view.
    â€œMalia?” I cried when the girl with Ryan came into focus.
    I squealed as she ran over to me, and we danced around in a hug. Malia Gervase was our closest friend from childhood. Our freshman year, her parents died in a car accident, and she’d moved away to live on the coast with her grandmother. We’d kept in touch via email, text messages, and Facebook, but it just wasn’t the same as live and in person.
    â€œLong time no see, Noah,” she said, giving him a look that could kill. She took my hands and gave me the once-over. “You are smokin’ hot, my friend.”
    Malia was a good two inches taller than me. She’d obviously had a growth spurt since I’d last seen her. She’d also added a few blond highlights to her long straight brown hair and had gotten blue contacts to cover her
