“Your house isn’t light tight, Romeo. Normally, that’s not a problem for me because of my age. I mean I can tolerate walking about in sunlight for short periods. You’ve seen me in town at the antique store during the day when by all rights I should be asleep but honestly, I hate waking to bright morning sunlight because the need to find shelter can be very fatiguing. That’s why I built my underground bedroom. Besides, it’s just safer.”
I stopped walking and turned him to face me. “In what way?” I asked.
Vincent sighed. “I can lock it up completely and no one even knows it exists unless they go looking for the private elevator. An enemy—and we both know I have a powerful one—could burn my house to the ground and then I’d be trapped.”
“You’re right.” I stepped closer to him, sliding my arms around him to draw him up against my body. “I’m being selfish. Your safety must be my only concern.”
Vincent grinned. “Imagine a human telling me he wants to keep me safe. It’s ironic.”
“But I’m not human and we both know it.” I cut off whatever he was going to say as my mouth crashed down on his. He opened for me and instantly our tongues tangled. Vincent tasted so good, like a cross between mint and tea. He moaned as I deepened the kiss. He clutched my shoulders with strong hands, kneading my biceps as we stood in the woods. As if both realizing that we might just be in peril if we lost our focus out in the open, the kiss ended a moment later. We stood panting, gazing at each other. Finally, I grinned as I slung my arm back over his shoulder.
“Let’s talk about this more at your place. Maybe I can find a place that delivers,” I said.
“At one in the morning?” Vincent asked, sounding incredulous.
I chuckled. “If not, I’m thinking beer with a ketchup chaser is on the menu.”
We laughed all the way back to Vincent’s place.
Romeo and Vincent’s story continues in True Mate April 30, 2021. Preorder it today!
