wind, Luke?”
                  He looked lost for a moment, then finally decided to take a step toward her – and another, and another, until he was close enough to touch her. Kim was unnerved by how quickly he’d moved, but her desire to be near to him overpowered her unease.
                  Luke’s eyes softened as he spoke. “I wanted to tell you, but I never found a good time. Then I saw you at Mack’s and you seemed so confused….” He sighed heavily, and his breath tickled Kim’s face. “I’m sorry. I guess I just wanted to avoid things getting complicated. I thought you would want that.”
                  Kim laughed, and it was slightly bitter. “I have your child, Luke. It’s a little too late to save us from complicated .”
                  He laughed, and it was a little higher and more strained than it had been the night they met. “You’re right. You’re right. If I’d spoken to you earlier, all of this would have been avoided.” He looked her in the eye again, remorse washing over his features. He reached out and squeezed her right hand. “I’m sorry, Kim.”
                  A shiver rolled down Kim’s spine that had nothing to do with the wind. Her mouth was dry when she spoke. “It’s all right.”
                  And, strangely, it was; even though she’d been boiling with rage a moment ago, now all she could think about was pulling Luke toward her and kissing him. It seemed like such a good idea that she was in the middle of doing it before she’d actually decided.
                  Luke’s arms encircled her waist automatically, and Kim clung to his shoulders as she pressed her lips to his. She felt him relax into her embrace and tighten his arms at the same time, lifting her body off the ground a little because of their difference in height. Kim didn’t feel herself leave the ground because her mind was whirling with joy, and all of her nerves were alight with an unquenchable thirst that had been awakened by Luke’s touch. Too soon, the kiss was over, and they were pulling away from each other, both breathless and wide-eyed.
                  “Wow,” Luke said.
                  Kim laughed hoarsely. “Where have I heard that before?”
    
              The memory of their only night together passed between them as they gazed at each other. Luke’s eyes looked her up and down so slowly that it felt lewd. She wanted him to keep doing it, but was afraid the tension would get out of control.
                  “Hey,” a voice shouted. They both jumped and looked behind Kim, where the other vampires were peering over at them from her car. Many of them were suppressing laughter, but Kim couldn’t help but notice that a handful of them were wearing distrustful expressions.
                  It was Dougie who had spoken. “You wanna come try and get this thing back to civilization?”
                  “In a minute,” Luke said before Kim could answer.
                  She turned back to him. “So….what now?”
                  Luke smiled – the first warm, sincere smile he’d given her since they’d met. “Now we pick up those strings we cut off the night I got you pregnant. We’ll see where it goes.” He hesitated. “I still think it will turn out to be lust based--”
                  “Why?” Kim cut in, not caring that she sounded demanding. “Why do you think that?”
                  Luke was silent for a moment, his face unreadable until he spoke again. “Because in my experience, it always is.”
                  He took her hand and walked with her toward her car, ignoring the inquisitive looks some of the vampires were shooting them. Kim met their gazes boldly, trying not to show them how flustered she really was. The curly haired woman from earlier was
