“Does that mean we’re engaged?” Matt’s smile was

teasing.

“In a manner of speaking.”

“Seriously?”

“Blood freely given and received is a serious matter. And

there were things you said and did when I was ill that need

explanation.”

“Maybe they just need exploration, not explanation.”

Bas looked at Matthew, shocked. This boy was a surprise.

Such a surprise. Delightful. Exhilirating.

Bas pulled Matt down against him and enfolded him in

his arms, wrapping his long legs around him.

“Where do you come from, Bas? Not Spain, I gather?”

“Originally? Vampire kin all originate from a planet thirty

light years from earth, it’s called Dracule.”

Matt raised his head. “Dracule? As in Dracula? There

really was such a guy?”

“Fact and fiction blended.”

“And you came here, of all the gin joints in the universe,

you chose this little ol’ planet. Why?”

“Politics and my father and brothers. It’s complicated.”

“It always is when fathers are involved.”

“Yes, well, my family was related to the Emperor… the

Vlad—the clan leader of Dracule. My father wasn’t content

to sit on the sidelines, as a member of the Imperium—that is

the vampire council. No, he wanted to rule. He led his clan

in revolt. He failed. I was away at the time, visiting friends

in France. It’s the main reason I escaped the death

sentence—that and the intercession of powerful men in the

Imperium. I was banished here, without friends, family or

fortune. It’s called the Ban. I’m allowed a very limited

income. My mentor in the Imperium gave me money and

other things over the years, until he was discovered. He is

under Ban himself, now. So, I had to find paid work. At

Monsters.”
