“You woke me up!” Chanson chided, once she and the rest of our vampire entourage joined us upstairs. The last vestige of daylight had faded into near-darkness, leaving only a slight pink glow at the edge of the distant horizon to the west. “In truth, your little escapade down below roused us all before we needed to awake. There goes our beauty sleep!”

She placed her hands on her hips and eyed me coyly, making much of what she just said a playful dig, although I detected some irritation in her brilliant green eyes. Like Racco, she and her companions were all dressed in blue jeans, but she, Nora, and Raquel were attired in sweaters—cocoa, purple, and beige, respectively—as opposed to the blue and black flannel shirt Garvan wore.

“I’m sorry,” I told her, feeling mostly sincere. As long as I didn’t linger on the fantasy of a sexual frolic with Racco. “I will be more discreet next time.”

“It might be wise to consider someone closer to your own age,” she told me, which drew a snicker from Raquel, who stood nearby. Honestly, I would’ve never guessed Raquel was listening, since she carried on an animated conversation with Nora. “We shall talk more about this after you have had a chance to eat tonight.”

Chanson motioned for me to join her at the table, which like yesterday afternoon bore a more modest array of delights. It appeared this would be it for tonight, instead of last night’s obscene extravagance in the other room, where far too much food had covered the long table. Mercel managed a smaller bar nearby, which I assumed my ancient cousin would soon visit along with the others.

“And don’t let either of the immortal males in attendance this evening dissuade you from meeting with me,” she continued. She took my arm like a big sis and made sure I reached my destination with minimal distractions. “Believe me, they both are vying for your affections, even though neither one is suitable for you.”

Her knowing smile reminded me that she was privy to my thoughts. I had been thinking crazy ‘life together’ fantasies involving Racco since our interrupted physical encounter earlier. A quick glance around the room supported her words, as I caught Racco smiling at me from the bar and Garvan watching him from across the room with a disapproving scowl upon his face.

It sure as hell could be an interesting night.

“Txema, come and join me and Mercel for another drink!” Racco called to me, moving over to the table and pulling a chair out for me.

Before I replied with the ‘sure!’ I intended to give him, Garvan suddenly appeared next to him, his face drawn near to Racco’s. They both glared at each other.

“I’ll sit over here with the ladies,” I offered, after allowing Chanson to move me to the opposite side of the table. Nora and Raquel joined us there. Luckily, another ice sculpture—this one a mermaid—blocked my direct view of where Racco and Garvan presently stood. “I’d like to visit with them for awhile.
