Chapter Sixty-Two

C utting the stake out of Raven’s chest, on top of everything else that transpired tonight, was almost more than I could handle. I know why he made me do it, to get my mind off the other crap that had gone down, but it still pissed me off. The last thing I wanted to do was see his blood. Smell it. Want it like I had earlier. I’d bitten him, for chrissakes, without even knowing it.

But I’m nothing if not resilient, and I can’t stand to see an animal in pain, so I bucked up and ran to the rescue, just like I’ve always done.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. A few cuts and a yank, and out it came. I picked a few splinters out with the tweezers, and my job was done. Raven said the hole would heal up as soon as he fed again, but he wasn’t asking for a donation, and I didn’t offer.

Truth was, I wondered what it would be like to bite him while he bit me. To taste him while he tasted me. The mere thought had me tingling in places I didn’t want to think about, so I gathered up the bloody towels and other tools and headed for the kitchen.

I dropped the knife and tweezers in the sink, and went to the laundry room to start a load of towels. It wasn’t like the blood was going to come out, but once they were relatively clean I could use them in the shop. Waste not, want not.

I returned to the kitchen to find Raven at the sink, washing off his knife. He was a morbid mess, which reminded me there were two bodies in my yard. Again.

I flipped off the barn lights to keep anyone driving by from seeing anything untoward. I didn’t like being in the dark like that, but what can you do?

“So, what do we do with Mutt and Jeff out there?” I asked.

“I called Mason. He’s sending someone out to take care of it.”

“Oh.” It was all I could think of to say.

“How’s the shoulder?” he asked, drying his knife on a clean towel.

I looked down to check, and discovered I was wearing nothing but a bra with one of the straps chewed through and a pair of jeans with the button ripped off. Nice. But what I could see of the shoulder was looking better, so I said as much.

“Look,” I added, “I’m going to jump in the shower. You’re welcome to…” To what? Join me? He looked at me hopefully and I shook my head.

“I was going to say, you’re welcome to wash up when I’m finished, or even go first if you want. You still have some things upstairs. I’ll get them for you. You might feel better if you were clean.”

“I’d feel better if you would talk to me.”

I stopped, expecting to find him staring holes in me, but he simply stood at the sink, focused on drying that knife.
