Dark Promises 5: Tarnished Read online

  “Why not?” Wil asked, the snap of aggravation in his voice. “She listens to you more than she listens to me.”

  “Wanna bet?” Kel snapped back.

  That was the end of the conversation for the ride home.

  When they got back to the condo, Kel came around and opened her door before Wil had even gotten out of the car. He gave her a grave stare and mouthed, “Let him turn you.”

  With a soft kiss on her cheek, he was gone, heading for his own car in the parking lot. Smart man, going home before the shouting started.

  Funny thing was, she didn’t feel like shouting this time. She was too weak and sore, too tired to put up any kind of fight. And Kel was right. Now was the time to make the turn she’d been avoiding for far too long. She wouldn’t risk another injury like the one she’d gotten tonight. An injury that could easily have been so much worse.

  Wil came up next to her and put his arm over her shoulders. “Why don’t you let me carry you up to the condo?”

  “Because I’m not a helpless child?” She smiled at him and gave his cheek a light pat. She leaned against Wil’s side. “You know, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking.”

  “Sounds dangerous.”

  She laughed. “Don’t be a jerk. This is serious. I think I’m ready for you to turn me now.”

  “Really?” He glanced down at her, a look of such hope on his face she couldn’t help but giggle. “Are you sure?”

  “More sure about this than I’ve ever been about anything.”

  A huge smile broke over Wil’s face. “You won’t regret this. I promise you.”

  She didn’t doubt it for a second. A few years ago she would have balked at the idea of letting someone turn her, but now it seemed like the most natural choice in the world. After all, it would give her forever with the man she loved. Nothing could be more perfect.
