It’s more than ten years
I didn’t like people even before the vamp king tried to kill me
I grimaced.
Despite my humor, her confession was important. Rae didn’t talk about her time in the cellar that had been her prison, or even just as a kid.
She was intensely private, and I’d never tried to push her for information.
Rae
How would I go about trying to hang out with him again?
Me
I think he only hangs out with people after he’s bargained with them
Rae
Well we’re obviously not soulmates, so I can make a deal
He offered to bargain with me for sex, I could take him up on that
Me
Do you want to?
You’ve never been interested in sex
Rae
Not sure
Me
His magic makes people feel good
It could just be getting to you
Rae
I didn't feel his magic
My forehead creased.
Me
You sat next to him at the fight, I’m sure you felt it
I’ve felt his magic from across the room at a Cabinet meeting while he was asleep
He's fucking potent
Rae
I didn't feel it
Maybe he was trying not to hit me with it, or it’s because my shadows are keeping me alive
