“Yeah, I tried that, didn’t I. It didn’t work. If I can’t have you, I may as well go back to the way I was. Shut. Up.”
I shut up. I didn’t know what to think. Was she saying that to make me feel less guilty, or was she serious? She had damn well looked like she knew what she was doing, wrapped around DeLavine like that. I couldn’t believe she really meant it. Not after her confession only an hour old. Apparently we were both going places we didn’t want to—me forward and her back. “Ivy?” I said, but she wouldn’t look at me.
“Jenks,” she said, spots of color showing on her cheeks. “Wake up.”
His breathing quickened, and it was no surprise when his smooth features scrunched in hurt. Eyes still closed, he reached for his head. Nick had come out of the kitchen, standing to look like a fifth wheel beside the TV, arms crossed over his faded T-shirt. Rex was having a field day, purring and rubbing on everyone, clearly happy we were on her level.
“Ow,” Jenks said when his fingertips found the bump, and his eyes flew open. “You hit me!” he shouted, and Ivy let go. He fell against the couch, anger in his green eyes until he saw me beside him, probably looking as bad as I felt. His gaze shot to the empty table, then searched until he found the statue. “Holy crap, what did I miss?” he said.
“Sorry.” Ivy stood and offered him a hand up. “He would have killed you.”
So she hit him and risked giving him a concussion? Yeah, that made sense.
His gaze went to me, and my breath caught at the fear in it. “Are you all right? Did he touch you?”
“Of course he touched me,” I said, getting to my feet and wavering until I found my balance. “He’s an undead vampire. They can’t look without touching. They can’t not touch. I’m a freaking vampire candy cane and they all want a lick.”
“Damn it all to hell!” Jenks rose, touching the back of his head when it probably protested at the quick motion. “Stupid pixy. Stupid green-assed, moss-wipe, thumb up my ass pixy! You knocked me out cold, Ivy!”
“Jenks,” I protested, “leave her alone.” But he wasn’t mad at her, he was mad at himself.
“Tagged by a whiny little vamp,” he said, gesturing. “Rache, take this sword and stick it in me. Just go and stick it in me. I’m a back-drafted, crumpled-winged, dust-caked, dew-assed excuse of a backup. Worthless as a pixy condom. Taken down by my own partner. Just tape my ass shut and let me fart out my mouth.”
