When she woke and found him sleeping peacefully, she slipped away to take a long hot shower. That shower also gave her a chance to think and hide. Alex ran his fingers through his damp hair, having taken his own shower in his old room. “You don’t want to marry me,” he said softly. He heard her slow inhale and gave her a sad smile. “It’s okay if you don’t. There’s probably a bunch of guys in Europe that’ll sweep you off your feet.” Claudia rolled her eyes as she went to look for something to wear. “It’s not that and you know it,” she answered him. “I thought we were through this,” he said on a sigh. When she looked at him with narrowed eyes, he continued. “I love you, and since I’m only human I can’t….” His eyes widened as he came to his feet. “That’s it, isn’t it?” he asked. “I can’t claim you like a Wolf or a Vampire.” She shook her head. “Don’t be an asshole,” she said with a roll of her eyes. She touched his cheek and looked into his eyes.
