worry about what Dante said.”
Trevor
looked up, his eyes misty. “That’s not fair to you. Dante told me once a
Gargoyle found his mate, he never wanted anyone else.”
“It’s
true, but it doesn’t mean we have to be alone. It means whoever we’re with
won’t hold our heart, and that’s not fair to them. Take Sinclair for instance.
He has married several humans over the centuries. I don’t know how he’s gotten
away with not explaining why he doesn’t age when they do, but he doesn’t like
to be alone. I have to be honest with you; until Craig, I never had a long term
relationship. If you can call what we had a relationship.”
“What
about Theron?”
“Theron
is a sadist. He gets his rocks off by hurting people.”
“Did
he hurt you?” Trevor whispered.
“Yes,
he did. I was in such a lonely place in my life that I didn’t care. At first
anyway. It was more mental than physical, though. I’m a Gargoyle; physical pain
is something I can endure.”
“Since
we’re on the subject, why don’t you go ahead and tell me about your past with
him.”
Theron’s
plan was being accelerated before he was ready. The last victim wasn’t supposed
to be found for a few days. He hadn’t yet chosen his next victim, but he did
have the next note ready. He’d hid in the woods behind the victim’s home and
observed the police and forensic unit. Normally he wouldn’t go back to the
scene of the crime, but he happened to be following the medical examiner. When
he was done with Phelam, Theron was going to pay a visit to Isabelle. His
father wouldn’t be happy until she was returned to the island. He blamed Theron
for her escape.
His
sister had been instrumental in luring Isabelle to Greece. The woman walked
right into their trap when they took her kid. He would need Kallisto’s
assistance in carrying out his current plan. Theron poured himself a drink and
dialed her number.
“Hello?”
“Hello,
Kallisto. I need your help.” Even though she was adopted, they had formed a
bond over the years, and he appreciated her form of family honor. She was
almost as twisted as their father, having been raised by the Goyle.
“What
can I do for you? I need to get Sergei away from father, so your timing is
excellent.”
Theron
proceeded to tell Kallisto his plan and what it entailed. “Can you get that for
me?”
“Of
course. I have to say, I’m going to enjoy watching this play out. Father’s
still pissed at me for losing the Cleopatra Disk, but when I tell him what
we’re up to, I’m pretty sure he’ll forgive me. And you for letting Isabelle
slip away.”
Theron
grunted. He didn’t need reminding about their father’s ire. “I have rented a
house on the south side of New Atlanta. I figure with the number of offspring
Montague has, Father will have us tormenting them all before it’s over.”
“Email
me the address. I will gather what you asked for and be there as soon as I can.”
Theron
disconnected the phone. He picked up a long rope before sitting down on the
sofa. Twisting the length into an intricate knot, he said, “I will get you.”
Chapter Eleven
Trevor
was more confused than ever. Before he and Jasper went to the crime scene,
things had been pretty perfect. Trevor had given his first real blowjob, and
from the way Jasper reacted, he was pretty sure he’d done it well. Jasper even
returned the favor before they left the house. The way Jasper made him feel was
more than he ever expected out of a boyfriend. He felt silly calling him that
since he was an almost five-hundred-year-old being. Boyfriend seemed so
juvenile. Now he understood exactly why Jasper had referred to Tessa as
Gregor’s mate.
He
might not be ready to move in with Jasper full time, but he had been ready to
bring clothes for stayovers. Then Dante had talked to him. When Jasper walked
off, Dante had told him to be sure of what he wanted before he strung Jasper
along. It wasn’t fair to the Gargoyle to make
