Rune
Flat on our backs, chests heaving, I twine my fingers with Vameer’s and smile at the sky. “Remember how you love me?”
“Sí.” Vameer rolls his head to the side to look at me.
“You love me too.” He says it like an accusation.
I turn my head to face him, letting him see my smile. “Sí.”
He grins at my horrible attempt to deepen my voice like his.
It’s easy to picture this vampire of mine as a warrior. But it’s just as easy to picture him like this. Lying on the ground with me. Sharing his feelings. Making love to me.
I hold his gaze. “Your parents would be proud of you, Vameer. I hope you know that.”
He squeezes my fingers. “I love you.”
We stay like that for a long moment. Just lying together. Until my eyes start to close.
Nix told me that I’ll start sleeping less soon, but clearly, tonight is not the night.
Vameer sits up and reaches for my clothes. “Get dressed. Then tell the druid we are…” He pauses. “I don’t know if the names of these mountains have changed.”
I pull my phone out of my pants pocket. “Good news, you don’t need to know the name because we can’t text him anyway. There’s no service.”
Vameer looks at me, then the phone in my hand. “I don’t know what that means.”
Gods, I really do love this guy.
“We need to be closer to a city for my phone to work.”
He nods. “Okay. Get dressed. Then we will find a city.”
