So I Married a Vampire(2)

her go. Of course her decision to get involved with him again could have something to

do with the romantic streak he’d developed during their time apart. He’d courted her,

bringing her flowers and her favorite chocolate. The romance had been a whirlwind.

Love had struck her fast, and Ethan had told her he felt the same way. As for the

sex…well, it had been so much better than before, and it had been pretty spectacular

then.

She still wasn’t quite sure how they’d ended up engaged so fast. She’d just known

she wanted to be with him. Forever. She loved him, and that was all there was to it.

That first weekend after he’d slipped the ring on her finger, while they’d been holed up

in a tiny hotel room on the coast exploring each other’s bodies, everything had been

perfect. In the past two months since that fateful night, not much had changed. At least

she hadn’t thought it had.

He’d been right there with her as she scoured bridal magazines, getting ideas for

bridesmaids’ dresses and flowers. He’d sat with her for hours going over the catering

menu for the reception, listening to her gripe and moan about what they would serve

their guests. He’d even been the one to choose the cream-colored frosting on the cake

when she hadn’t been able to make up her mind. So the fact that he didn’t bother to

show up for his own wedding made no sense at all. She sniffled. And here she’d gotten

all dressed up and everything. White was so not her color and she’d take her black boots

over white satin heels any day.

Her fingers curled into fists, her cheeks heating. He was so dead when he’d finally

turn up. If he turned up.

She took another glance at the clock on the church spire. Ethan still hadn’t shown

up and she might as well head back inside and deal with a little damage control. Her

heart sank and pain tightened her stomach into knots. Tears formed in her eyes but she

refused to let them fall. She hoped Ethan was happy, wherever he was, because if she

found him, she’d make sure he never forgot how much he’d hurt her yet again.

She spun around, walking back toward the church when she heard a rustle in the

bushes beside her. Instinct kicking in, she stilled and turned her head toward the sound.

At first she didn’t see anything but then Cameron came into her view, wearing a black

tux identical to the one Ethan should be wearing right now. He spread his hands in

front of him and shook his head. “Sorry, Jane. Didn’t mean to spook you.”

“You didn’t.” Not much at least. It didn’t really matter what came out of the

darkness. Whatever it was, she could handle it. Cameron was no threat. Ethan’s closest

friend and best man was just a sweet, easygoing guy who’d been a big help during the

wedding preparations. He’d helped her secure a DJ who would play more than bad ’80s

music and had made sure she and Ethan had a limo to take them from the church to the

hotel where they’d booked the reception. Cameron was harmless. Not someone out

there to try to harm her. At least she didn’t think so… After their last conversation

when he’d been helping her choose a play list to give the DJ—and the shocking

confession he’d made—she wouldn’t be surprised if he planned to put a stop to the

wedding. Maybe he’d written the note. “What are you doing out here?”

“You look beautiful.”

Jane narrowed her eyes. “He sent you to dump me, didn’t he?”

“Who, Ethan?”

The confusion on Cameron’s face put a damper on her suspicion. Maybe Ethan

hadn’t chickened out. There could be a valid reason for his lateness. She rolled her

shoulders back, glancing around the lot. “Yes, Ethan. He didn’t send you?”

“No. I wanted to talk to you.”

“I’m not so sure we have much to talk about.”

Cameron shoved a hand through his dark, shoulder-length hair. Everything about

his posture screamed tension. “Yes, we do. What I said to you before…I was out of

line.”

“You mean when you told me you were in love with my fiancé? It might not have

been out of line but it was a little weird.”

“I’m sorry. I wish things could have been different.”

She frowned. “What do you mean?”

Cameron raised his eyebrows. “There’s something you should know, Jane.

Something really important.”

Jane scrunched her nose. His words were so similar to the note she’d gotten. Maybe

Cameron really had written it. But why? What secrets could he possibly tell her about
