XAVIER

I could sense her excitement in the air. It was like a sweet honeysuckle filling my senses, making it even harder for me to control myself. My fingers closed into fists as I led her down the expansive hallway and into the kitchen. I pushed a button on the wall to my right which immediately began drawing the window- shades and turning on the lights. The sunlight was beginning to make me itch, but it would be hours until sun-poisoning kicks in. Either way, I didn’t want anything detracting from my moment with Kimberly.

She stood with a hand on the top of the black marble island planted in the center of the huge kitchen. I poured her a glass of orange juice and set it next to her. She smiled and took a sip, avoiding my eyes now.

“So, what exactly drew you to this job in the first place?” I asked, breaking the loaded silence.

“You mean besides the health benefits and vacation days?” she quipped. “I guess I just wanted to work with a vampire.” I could hear a tremble in her voice as she said the word ‘vampire’. It made my cock twitch in my jeans.

“Well, you got your wish. Has it been everything you expected?”

“And more,” she said, giggling as she brought the glass of juice up to her lips again.

“So what do you want to know about us, then?” I asked, leaning on the counter.

“Way to put me on the spot,” she said, looking down at the floor. She looked back up and pushed a rebellious lock of her out of her face. “Gosh, I don’t even know. I have enough questions to last me years.”

“Good thing I have centuries.”

“Right.” She smiled and placed the glass down. “Ok... have you seen Tw—”

“Next question.”

She put her hands up. “Fine, fine, just checking.” She bit her lower lip. “Do you really sleep in a coffin?”

I shook my head. “You’ve really got to stop watching these movies. Folk-lore

did get some of our traits right; blood-drinking, super-speed, extra-human strength, and we do get sick after being exposed to prolonged sunlight. But I’m not going to explode from it nor am I going to cringe at the sight of holy water or crosses.”

“So why now?” she asked. “Why not stick with the system that had been working all this time and stay hidden?”

“Because the shadows get boring after a while.”

“Fair enough,” she said. “And the shifters? Did you guys know about them too?”

“We did.” I shifted my weight and got another wiff of Kimberly’s sweet scent. “It was never a peaceful existence between us. When you have two supernatural powers fighting for territory and respect, there’s going to be bloodshed. Some of them are decent, but most are scum.”

“How about humans? There’ve been riots since The Reveal, not everyone is happy and so many more people are just plain scared.”

“Which we all respect. That’s another thing the media has gotten wrong about us. We aren’t blood-crazed monsters ripping apart the closest person. Vampires are based on control, whether that be controlling ourselves or the environment around us.
