Even though she knew she shouldn’t, Sasa let her feet guide her back to Teagan’s. The way things had been left with Vasilije bothered her. Yes, she’d hid her ability from him, but not to hurt him. She needed him to know that.

She knew it would be worse if he found out she was supposed to be helping Tatiana, but that was a problem she’d deal with when the time came. Now she just needed him to know what he thought about her was wrong.

One dim light illuminated the front window of the house, and Sasa stood out on the street watching for any sign of Vasilije inside. A figure moved behind the curtains, but she couldn’t make out who it was.

“No matter,” she mumbled. “I’ll wait. I have nowhere to be,” she admitted sadly.

Remembering the last time she tried to sneak in unannounced, she knocked on the door and then entered, calling out Vasilije’s name.

“He’s not here, but come in. I’m bored and you can keep me company since I’m stuck here until he comes back.”

Sasa sat down in the chair opposite from the couch where Jeremy lay in a t-shirt and pair of jeans. For someone who was new to his surroundings, he seemed comfortable. His shoes were off and he was barefoot as he relaxed on the couch. She, on the other hand, was distinctly uncomfortable, her actions the other night still a source of embarrassment.

“He hasn’t come back yet?”

Had he gone to find the lead LeClerc gave him, or had he found Quiterie?

“No, and I’m sick and fucking tired of waiting around for him.”

Sasa calculated the time since he’d left her and hoped Quiterie had stayed away from the shop like she usually did late at night.

Jeremy sat up and leaned forward. “So what’s up with you two?”

“Up?”

“Yeah. Like are you his girlfriend or what? You’re not one of us, so I know he isn’t your sire too. So why are you hanging out with an old vampire?”

Sasa chuckled. Jeremy was so new to this even she knew more about vampires than he did. “Maybe I’m his bleeder.”

“What’s that?”

“A human who a vampire keeps around to give him blood when none of his own vampires are around.”

Jeremy’s face was a mixture of curiosity and intense interest. “Are you?”

Shaking her head, Sasa smiled. “No. I was just teasing.”

His curiosity sated, he sat back on the couch looking almost disappointed at her answer. “So what is it with you?”

Sasa wasn’t sure how to answer his question. Would she be considered his girlfriend? Should she call him her lover? Lover sounded so sophisticated and while Vasilije could definitely be that, Sasa didn’t think her run-of-the-mill look measured up.

“We spend time together. I’m helping him find Teagan’s killer.”

“Yeah? And how’s that going?”

She definitely didn’t want to get into that conversation in case she slipped up and said something she shouldn’t. No, she needed to keep any conversation with Jeremy to topics a frat boy type would like.

“Where are you from, Jeremy?”

“Ruston.
