CHAPTER 7

Rainer drove them in his luxury black sedan through the streets of the city, weaving in and out of the crawling cars out in the middle of the night in silence. Caleb did not dare break the quiet of the car, hardly daring to even glance over at Rainer as his warm eyes did not move from the road. Before he knew it, they were pulling up in front of the bus station, slowing down in the passenger drop off and pick up area. He turned to ask if Rainer just wanted him to go in real quick, but the vampire had flashed out of the car, coming around and opening Caleb’s door. His pale hand extended down to him as he turned his face up to the handsome vampire, haloed by the buzzing lights behind him.

“Oh,” Caleb muttered, unbuckling his belt and accepting Rainer’s cool hand. Unlike Henri’s hand, it was large, slightly rough, and pleasantly cool, not cold. He flushed as Rainer pulled him from the car effortlessly, depositing him on the sidewalk. “Thank you,” he muttered softly again.

“Let’s get your bag,” Rainer spoke matter of factly, letting go of his hand and turning to the doors of the station.

Caleb hurried up behind him, grabbing the key fob from his pocket and following the vampire over to the lockers. Rainer stepped to the side and Caleb put the fob into the machine, which calculated how much he owed. Before he could retrieve his wallet, Rainer blurred forward and swiped his own card through the reader.

“Uh, yes,” he nodded and then had to hurry to catch up with the vampire, who glided back out to the car. He held the door open for him and offered his hand to lower him back into the car. Caleb took the vampire’s hand, squeezing it a little as he stepped into the car.

Rainer’s hand slipped free once Caleb was down and the door closed quickly. Then the vampire blurred into his seat and the car purred to life, pulling away from the curb before Caleb could even grab his seatbelt. He felt so slow, playing catch up and dragging behind. Classical music floated from the speakers of the car, providing a surprisingly comfortable silence. It was nearing five in the morning now and the sky was flourishing with the pale colors of pre-dawn.

Cal wanted to say something, but he felt like he couldn’t break the ambiance of the air in the car. It was easy, but he still found ways to overthink. If he had any chance with the vampire, it would be now. He had no idea what was going to happen now. Rainer was putting the condo in his name, but what
