Chapter Fourteen

Aaron couldn’t say much on the walk back to the homestead. His head was full of too much. Over and over, his mind replayed grabbing the animals and drinking them dry. The ripping of his gums. Trying to do it without drawing attention to himself, he lifted his hand and pressed gently on his upper lip. He could now feel the fangs sitting under his gums. It was creepy.

Even as the phrase hit him, he started to chuckle.

“What?” Jaret asked.

“Conner’s gonna get a kick out of this. He’s crazy about the vampyr myth.”

“He wouldn’t be if he knew what a pain in the ass the bastards are. Evil incarnate.”

Aaron wasn’t sure why they were considered bad when, from his point of view, he and Jaret did what they did, but as he opened his mouth to ask, a horrible stench went by on the breeze—it stank of mold and some sort of metal. “Ugh,” he said even as Jaret hissed and turned toward the breeze, breathing in the reek.

“Vampyr,” Jaret said in a low growl, his brown eyes narrowing even as he inhaled deeper.

“How can you stand to do that?” Aaron asked, covering his nose with his hand. “It reeks.”

For a moment, Jaret didn’t respond as he kept sniffing the air. Finally he turned toward him and a grin quirked up the side of his mouth. “Yeah, it does. But by smelling, I can tell whoever it is, is still miles away.”

“Well, that’s goo—wait, still miles away? You’ve smelled it before?” Slightly panicked that the thing might come and hurt his family, Aaron turned in the direction of the smell, half expecting a vampyr to be standing in front of him.

“For the last couple nights. It’s gotten a little closer, but not by much. I don’t think we have much to worry about,” Jaret said in a placating tone while placing his hands on Aaron’s shoulders. “Vampyr need to be in the cities as they only drink human blood and they need it every couple days to survive.”

“You’ll tell me if you know it’s dangerously close, right?” he asked, looking over his shoulder.

Jaret met his eyes. “I could not keep anything from you, Aaron. Not anymore even if I wanted to. If the vampyr get closer, we’ll figure something out. I promise.” The honesty was as clear in his expression as in his voice. But it wasn’t that that made Aaron know he was telling the truth. As crazy as it was, he just knew it. Something had happened tonight that had bound him to Jaret. Once he had other things figured out, he would ask for more clarification from the man currently smiling at him.

“Come, we need to get back to the house and somewhat showered and dressed before anyone sees us. We’re both naked and covered in blood.”

At the words, Aaron looked down. He had already known they were naked, but the blood covering their bodies had not truly made its way into his brain until now. Something about the sight turned him on.
