Because all I could think about was you, Anna, and how good you are, and what you'd think of me. You put thoughts into my head a Neph shouldn't have!

—¿Conoces la pequeña voz en tu cabeza? preguntó—. ¿La que a los humanos les gusta llamar su “conciencia”? —Asentí—. Son en realidad los mensajes que la gente está recibiendo de sus ángeles de la guarda. Verás, los espíritus demoniacos susurran pensamientos a la mente de una persona, y los pensamientos de demonio pelean con los propios sentimientos del humano, junto con los mensajes que sus ángeles de la guarda tratan de inculcar. El viejo cliché acerca del demonio sobre un hombro y un ángel en el otro no está tan lejos.
Wendy Higgins—¿Por qué estás intentando con tanta fuerza el hacerme pensar que eres una mala persona? —pregunté.
—Porque sería mejor para ti tener un sano temor hacia mí de modo que no puedas decir que no fuiste advertida. No soy como los chicos de tu escuela. Piensa en la atracción que sientes hacia las drogas. Así me siento respecto al sexo.
Oh.
—¿Comienzas a comprenderlo ya? Déjame ser aún más claro. —Su voz bajó mientras me guiaba a través de su trabajo—. Puedo entender a alguien en solo cinco minutos de conversación para saber qué tendría que decir o hacer para atraerlas a la cama. Eso te incluye, aunque admito que estaba fuera de juego anoche. Con alguna personas basta con simple adulación y atención. Con otras toma más tiempo y energía. Hago lo que se necesite para quitarles la ropa, y luego intento hacerlo de modo que nunca estén con otra persona sin pensar en mí. Sé secretos del cuerpo humano que la mayoría de las personas ni siquiera sabe de ellos mismos. Y cuando me voy, sé que están arruinadas cuando comienzan a suplicarme que me quede.

How's your orange juice, Anna? Does it have a touch of lime?”
The glass paused at my lips as I processed his innuendo, and I took a second to make sure my embarrassment stayed hidden inside. I let the drink swish over my tongue a moment before swallowing and answering.
“Actually it's a little sour,” I said, and he laughed.
“That's a shame.” He picked up a green pear from his plate and bit into it, licking juice that dripped down his thumb. My cheeks warmed as I set down my glass.
“Okay, now you're just being crude,” I said.
He grinned with lazy satisfaction.
Dear God!”
I screamed and buried my face in my pillow.
“What?!” I heard him ask. “Did you see a roach?”
“Why are you naked?!” I did not dare to lift my red face.
“Huh. Is that all?” he asked. “I always sleep in the buff. I don't know how you can stand all that clothing.”
“Unbelievable.” I said, and without looking at him I pulled myself up and stomped to the bathroom.
You told some human kid?”
I coughed, buying time. “He's Neph, too.”
Jonathan LaGrey went rigid and his ruddy cheeks paled. I squirmed as his eyes bored into mine.
“Which one's his father?” he asked through clenched teeth.
“Richard Rowe. I guess you'd know him as Pharzuph.” Oh, boy. He wasn't pale anymore.
“You came across the country—”
“Shhh!” I warned him as people looked over. He lowered his voice to a shouted whisper.
“—with the son of the Duke of Lust?! Son of a—
I jumped and let out an embarrassing squeak when two hands came around my waist.
“Just me, luv,” he said, close to my ear. “Aren't you the picture of domestication? Do you cook as well?
It's a poem, for crying out loud! The beauty of poetry is that it can mean different things to different people at different times. But you know they're expecting one specific, so-called correct answer, and any other thoughtful response will be counted off. It's wrong to dissect poetry like this!

My mother was an angel,” I blurted. “A guardian angel.”
Kaidan began to chuckle.
“What's so funny?” I asked.
“You. You're a walking contradiction. Horns and a halo. I don't believe it.

That's not going to happen, because I love you. If anyone's getting their heart broken here, it's me. Not you.
