After meeting up with V, he told him the basics of what had went down. He had killed three lessers, saved a girl, didn't go into detail about that or her, and then he had text the brother for pick up.<br/><br/>Once back at the mansion, without a word, he went up to his room and after disarming, he slipped into bed, but as hard as he tried, sleep was far from coming.<br/><br/>Every time he closed his eyes, he saw those dark yet light eyes looking at him, huge in her beautiful face. He had wanted to kiss those red lips to erase the frown that tilted them, caress a thumb over those cheekbones. But, she had run. And it was probably for the best.<br/><br/>The other brothers had begun finding their shellans, but he was sure he was forever meant to be alone. He got with women, human and vampire alike, had had a lot of sex, but none of it had left him with that feeling of it was her or no one else. Yet this human, he couldn't stop thinking about and he had only been in her company for all of five minutes.<br/><br/>But she was human. Granted, Rhage had mated a human, but and there was always a but, for as happy as she made the male, she was still human. She couldn't feed him when he needed it, and he was forever going to be in some kind of danger. It was a decent life, having that one person, but all in all, it would hurt more than it would make anyone feel good.<br/><br/>Finally, after managing to fall asleep, he had fitfull dreams. They started off well enough, those eyes he already seemed to know so well full of heat and heavy lidded, then there was blood, so much blood, whether it was hers, his, or another's.<br/><br/>He woke up later the next afternoon, grumpy as all hell, so much so, the doggens kept out of his way. He went to the kitchen, threw together a sandwich and a stiff scotch and went back to his room.<br/><br/>He was off rotation that night, so instead of sitting and moping in his room or having one of the others come knocking at his door, he left. He found himself at Heat, and went up to the VIP area where he sat at the brother's designated table. Without having to ask, the waitress brought him his staple Jameson and ginger. Then the little blonde went off to help another patron.
