CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Remember what I said about librarians not living in mansions? Scrap that. The moment we pull up the long driveway cutting through a rocky desert hillside overlooking the valley below, I realize there is much more to Miriam’s story.

“I think you are the only one in your profession who lives like a Kardashian,” I say as we pass through a set of iron gates, and I park my blue Skittle in her circular driveway.

Miriam’s pale cheeks flush. “My parents invested wisely and left behind a nice insurance policy—crap. I really shouldn’t have said that.”

“Why?”

“Why do you think?” she says quietly.

“Because people knowing you have money leaves you ripe for vultures and gold diggers, I imagine.”

“You’d be right,” she says.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about me. I reject all forms of attachments derived from materialism.”

She laughs softly. “God, Mike. You’re like a breath of fresh air.”

I want to burst out with laughter. To call an old cynical vampire a “breath of fresh air” is like calling a turd “spring fresh.”

I turn off the engine. “If the men you date make you doubt, for even a fraction of a moment, how wonderful and beautiful you are, then you are definitely dating the wrong sort of men.”

“Am I getting dating advice from a college guy who is in a relationship with a nympho?” She chuckles softly.

My jaw drops, and I try not to laugh. “She is not a nympho. She is…a free spirit who enjoys sex. With random men. Sometimes five at a time—okay, she’s a nympho, but the heart wants what it wants, and Lula is—”

“Incredible. I mean that. She’s wow. Funny, full of life, and so passionate.”

I nod. “Yes. All those things.”

“Then you do love her?”

Love? Lula? Another vampire? We simply do not go there. I need Lula like I needed Clive.

“She is everything to me,” I lie. Because Miriam is now part of my need. It’s halfsies all the way.

“She must be if you still love her after she slept with ten guys in one night.”

I nearly choke on my own spit. What the bloody hell? I thought it was five. Was there a full moon last weekend or something?

I smile stiffly. “The heart wants what the heart wants.” And I want to kick the snot out of Lula for humping so many men in one night and then placing me in the position of having to pretend I’m her boyfriend who’s completely okay with it. Very emasculating.

“Let us change subjects, shall we?” I say.

“Sure. Sorry. I know it must still be a sore spot for you.”

Not nearly as sore as your having a boyfriend and that I will have to share you.

I exit the car and walk around to open Miriam’s door. It is almost one in the afternoon, and I think I feel my eyelids singeing from the bright sun. I must hurry her inside.

“You’re such a gentleman,” she says.

Yes, yes. I know. I take her hand and help her out, trying to move her along. “How are you feeling now?”

“Perfectly fine.
