Chapter Six

Nathaniel sat on his couch, staring up at Rhys. It had been a week since Ceri had come to kill him. Manny was going to be showing up at his door soon to collect what was owed to him, but hell if Nathaniel could get away long enough to go get the money.

Rhys hadn’t let Nathaniel out of his sight. It was both irritating as hell and comforting knowing Rhys would protect him from Ceri. Nathaniel just wanted his damn life back. Rhys had been taking him to the palace to sleep, and the only reason they were back at Nathaniel’s apartment was because Nathaniel had lied.

He had told Rhys that he was meeting his brother because Van needed to borrow some money. Rhys had believed him, which made Nathaniel feel like shit, but Nathaniel knew Manny. If he wasn’t here to pay the man back, Manny would go after Van. That was something Nathaniel couldn’t live with.

Rhys stood in Nathaniel’s living room, poking at the television with a strange expression on his face when a knock sounded on Nathaniel’s door. Rhys looked up, a dark look crossing his face.

“That’s Van,” Nathaniel said as he smoothed his hands down his jeans, wondering what in the hell he was going to tell Manny. Rhys stayed where he was, but his expression hadn’t changed. Nathaniel stayed frozen to the couch, thinking that maybe coming back here wasn’t one of his more brilliant ideas.

“Are you going to welcome him in?” Rhys asked as he moved away from the television, heading toward the door. “He is family. Family is always welcome.”

Oh shit. Nathaniel jumped up from the couch, blocking Rhys from going to the door. That wasn’t an easy thing to do. Rhys was a very large vampire. His shoulders were almost as wide as Nathaniel was tall. Power and authority didn’t ooze from the man. He wore it like a second skin. Rhys was definitely comfortable in who he was.

Nathaniel only wished he possessed confidence like that.

The knock sounded again, harder this time.

“Your brother seems to be growing impatient. Give him the coins he needs so we can be gone from here.”

Nathaniel could feel panic setting in. He shouldn’t have lied to Rhys. He knew that now, but telling Rhys he had lied wasn’t going to go so well. Nathaniel started to get a headache, right behind his left eye. It pounded insistently, making him swallow a few times as he glanced at the door.

Rhys stepped closer, the dark expression growing as he leaned in and sniffed at Nathaniel’s neck. “The poison you ingest has come to the surface, why?” he asked as his head slowly rose, the blue in his eyes bleeding until the whites were no longer visible. “Is it your brother that feeds you these wicked things?”

“No,” Nathaniel answered quickly. “Van hates drugs.”

“Then why is the craving in your eyes?” Rhys grabbed Nathaniel’s upper arms, pulling him closer as he licked Nathaniel’s neck. “I can even taste a slight lingering.
