one concern kept floating to the top, much more often than the others.
    “Bo, can I ask you something?”
    “Anything,” he said without a second’s hesitation.
    “I assume we’ll be staying at Sebastian’s together, right?”
    I busied myself with folding jeans into my bag, but I knew my cheeks were probably bright red.  If a vampire could blush, that is.  That’s something I’d have to investigate later.
    “Of course.  I’m not leaving your side.”
    I fought off the urge to go throw myself into his arms for that comment.  I knew I needed to keep a safe distance when addressing this subject.
    “You know I love you, right?”
    “Yes.”
    “And you make me feel…well…I really want…”
    “I know,” Bo supplied, saving me from further embarrassment.
    “I don’t want you to think that I don’t want- but we can’t—”
    “Ridley,” Bo said as he slid off the bed and crossed the room to me.  When I didn’t raise my head, he put a finger beneath my chin and lifted.  “We should wait.  You have other things to worry about.  Don’t give it a second thought.”
    His eyes said so much as they absorbed me into their depths.  He knew that I was concerned about our physical relationship getting out of hand and he understood.  I should’ve known he would, but it was a relief to me nonetheless.
    Bo brushed his lips across mine, causing my body to react instantly.  I’m sure he could smell my heated blood. 
    He smiled widely, almost as if he’d done it on purpose.  “I never said it would be easy, though.”
    That devil.
     

 
    CHAPTER FOUR
     
    I laughed nervously, excitedly.  “No, it won’t be easy.”
    I felt a little more comfortable after that tension-breaking laugh.  I finished packing my bag and closed the window, and then we both crept to the door to listen closely for signs of Mom stirring around.  When the sounds of her soft snoring drifted through the house to our ears, Bo and I made our hasty and silent exit through the front door, locking it safely behind us.  I didn’t want anybody sneaking in on Mom, after all.
    As we crossed the yard, Bo slipped the strap of my bag off my shoulder and I saw his lips twitch with the barest hint of a grin.
    “I’ll carry the bag and give you a head start.  First one to the house wins,” he taunted.
    “Wins what?”
    “You don’t need to worry about that since you’re not gonna win.”
    “Is that right?”
    Before he could even answer, I took off like a shot, opening up to the power I could feel simmering just beneath the surface in my altered body.
    I darted across yards and streets, dodging trees and dogs as easily as if it was broad daylight.  I leapt over fences and flew around swimming pools as gracefully as if I had wings.  I moved between shadows as if I’d suddenly become part of them.  In a way, I guess I had.  I was a creature of the night now.  Darkness was my new comfort zone.
    As I ran swiftly and effortlessly down the long street that led to Sebastian’s, I reveled in the feel of the wind whipping my hair and kissing my cheeks.  In that moment, I’d never felt more free, never felt more carefree .  I was barely even aware of the squeal of delight that erupted from my bursting chest until a tiny sound teased my ears.  It was an answering chuckle, one that I recognized.  It was Bo and he was gaining on me.
    I pushed my legs as hard as I could, but it was no use.  Bo was fast!
    I felt the brush of something against my cheek.  Somehow, Bo managed to give me a feather-light kiss as he whizzed past me.  It was as if I was hardly moving. 
    When I reached the front steps at Sebastian’s, Bo was standing on the stoop, leaning up against the house beside the front door, arms and ankles crossed.
    “Not bad for your first time,” he said cockily.
    “I think you cheat,” I announced, mounting the steps.
    “How did I cheat?  You left before me, remember?”
    “I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure you
