She refused to let her mind linger on Declan. Instead, she tried to focus on tomorrow, on the Cambion-killing team that was going to show the security forces of both societies how to deal with the blight they'd permitted for too long.
Tears blurred her vision. Was it possible to fall in love with an Incubus in three days? Or did she want to kill him?
Zoey had no idea what to think or feel. For a day, she almost believed the bullshit about belonging with him. She was tired of trying to conform to rules and societies that didn't want her.
She climbed into the car and wiped her eyes, grateful for the warmth of the vehicle. Vikki was quiet as she pulled from the parking lot onto the main road, behind Lydia's car.
"Text Lydia and tell her we need to stop for gas," Vikki said, glancing at her. "I can run in and get you some ice cream. It's what I eat when I'm upset."
"Okay," Zoey murmured. She sent the text to Lydia. A few minutes later, she squinted at the bright lights of the gas station where Lydia guided the car ahead of them.
"What flavor?"
"Vanilla," Zoey said. "No, wait. Nothing with vanilla or cookies. Or that smells like creme brlee."
"So, chocolate?" Vikki was waiting, confusion on her features.
Zoey hesitated.
French vanilla. It's both our faves, Declan's whisper was quiet. It tore through her, along with need and fury. He had been so quiet, she hoped their bond was broken. Hearing him again, she realized her connection to Declan was as strong as ever, despite his betrayal.
How was she going to live like this?
"No ice cream," she said in a choked voice.
"If I leave you in the car, are you going to be okay?" Vikki asked.
Zoey nodded. Vikki lingered a moment longer then left.
"Fuck you, Declan, for making me love you," Zoey said.
He said nothing. A gentle pulse of sex energy into their bond helped calm her. Zoey rested her head in her hands, both soothed and tormented by the reminder that she was bound to someone who betrayed her.
She had the shittiest luck. Tomorrow though, she was going to change that, with the help of Team R and a human named Chrissy.
