Chapter Nine

Bridget’s stomach grumbled and her body ached in places that hadn’t seen action beyond a vibrator for ages. The day after Samhain was a quiet affair. In fact, no one was about, which was a good thing. A walk of shame was not something she wanted to get around in town. Especially when the house she was coming from was Joe’s.

There was no way she wanted the vampire community to get wind of their affair until they were ready to go public with it. They hadn’t even established any rules for whatever it was they had. Did he want something beyond this? He had claimed her, marked her, but other than that she wasn’t sure. She knew enough to take everything said during sex with a grain of salt.

She ran a hand over her face and trudged on, hating that her house was on the other side of town. Her heels echoed on the pavement as she walked. The overwhelming quiet of the early morning pressed against her, making her feel more alone.

She tried to process what had happened. She wouldn’t be able to hide her interaction with Joe. Despite the bath, she could smell his spicy scent on her skin, as if it was embedded and blending with her own natural perfume. She doubted another shower would dispel the scent.

There was also the matter of the bite marks on her shoulder. The wounds itched and burned, saturating the area with heat. She didn’t dare put on her jacket for fear of chafing the area and making things worse. She really had to have a word with Joe about the spots he had chosen to mark her. A hickey could be covered up with makeup, but punctures were harder to hide. If not sealed properly, they could continue to bleed. Bridget grumbled to herself.

She ran a hand through her hair and continued on until she got to the gate in front of her house. Nothing stirred in the yard. Lana often took an early morning flight through the garden to make sure everything was in order, but even she was absent.

Pixies were just as fixated on garden health as their cousins the fairies and gnomes, and Lana was meticulous when it came to making sure their front yard looked respectable. When it came to household repairs and maintenance, they all turned to Lana to take care of it.

The pixie was also obsessed with DIY decorations and loved to dress things up for holidays. Bridget didn’t want to think of what Lana had in mind for Christmas. She was pretty sure aliens would be able to see their home from space. She only prayed that the electric bill wouldn’t go into the thousands like the first year Lana had moved in with them. Thank the gods she’d learned about solar energy.

Bridget took in the brown-and-red brick, the shutters on the windows, and the solar panels on the roof. Home. So far, no one had come out to greet her or demand to know where she’d been.
