Savron was due home any minute, and she’d stayed up to see him and fall asleep in his arms in bed. This week she’d grown used to sleeping in his warm embrace. She fought to keep her eyes open as another hour passed. Jason, her dance partner, had dropped her off a couple of hours ago, and she’d been trying to finish her assignment as this weekend she wanted to have some time with Savron because the following weekend would be busy with the dance competition. She must have drifted off as she woke to Savron carrying her. “Hey. What time is it?” “Late. Sorry, gorgeous. I had a situation.” He placed her on the bed and as he caught the light of the bathroom she gasped. “What the hell happened?” She touched the scratch marks on his face. “Let’s just say that there were more vampires than we thought.” “Vampires? As in ‘I’m going to suck your blood’ vampires.” Savron chuckled at her lame attempt at Dracula’s voice. “Yes, vampires, and not the sparkly we’ll-love-you-forever ones.”
