“Vincent, I was interested in. But Scythe terrified me. He was a cold-blooded killer who freely admitted it. Except he didn’t feel like one when we were both naked and wrapped in each other’s arms, our bodies slick with sweat from great sex. He mumbled into my shoulder, “I know what you’re thinking. And you’re not leaving while I’m still inside you, Bliss. Shut your brain off for a minute and just let me hold you.” My resistance melted. It was a very Vincent thing to say, and if he hadn’t worded it so casually, I might have asked if he’d slipped through Scythe’s defenses. But I didn’t. I fell asleep in the arms of a psychopath. I had never felt safer or more content in my life.”
