Chapter Twenty-One

Tonight’s the night.

Almost from the instant I opened my eyes, I had Rod Stewart singing in the back of my mind. Not that I could remember the words beyond him crooning how everything was going to be alright, but after a Google search on the lyrics, I started to look for another song to get stuck in my head. I had enough problems to worry about without mental images of the aging rocker trying to take some girl’s virginity.

Nerves had me up and pacing as soon as the sun went down and even a long, hot shower did nothing to soothe them. When the knock on the door came, I spilled hot cocoa all over my sweater, I was so jumpy. Hopping up to answer it, I couldn’t help but frown over the serious look on Bishop’s face.

“Is something wrong?” I asked, wiping my hand off on the already soggy sweater.

“No, I just wanted to catch you before it’s time to go.”

I glanced at the fancy diamond watch on my wrist, giving up when I couldn’t actually figure out the time amid the sparkle. I knew the ballpark time in any case. “I thought we weren’t leaving for another hour? Rob’s not awake yet.”

“No, I know. Do you think I could maybe come inside?” he asked with a nervous glance down the hall.

“Sure, come on in.” We didn’t have to worry about keeping it down, Rob would sleep through anything. “I’d offer you some cocoa, but I’m fresh out,” I smiled, licking a missed droplet off the back of my hand. His gaze seemed riveted by the action, and I froze, hand halfway to my face. “What?”

“I want you to have some of my blood,” he blurted out, surprising both of us, I think, with the delivery.

“Oh. That’s a good idea, but ah, actually… I had something else in mind.” It was part of why I was so nervous, as if having my heart sliced and diced wasn’t enough to worry about.

I saw the answer come to him before I had to say it. “Jakob,” he said simply and I nodded. It was the only way I could think of to bump up my chances of survival. “If you go in there and ask for his blood, he’ll know something is up.”

“Not necessarily, it all depends on how I ask him.”

“How are you going to ask him?” Bishop didn’t look too thrilled by the idea, and to be honest, I was dreading it myself.

Taking a deep breath, I made my voice light, as if I wasn’t about to whore myself out in the process. “The easiest way would be not to ask at all. The easiest way would be to have a friendly drink with him and then…”

“Let him seduce you?” His brows shot up along with his voice. “You’re not seriously going to do that, are you? I forbid it,” he glowered.

“I’m sorry, you what?” I shot back at him, shocked by the possessive words.

He seemed to realize his mistake right away, his hands coming up in supplication.
