I’ll return quickly. And we will do whatever is next together.

Chapter 48

Rune

Somewhere beyond my consciousness, something beeps.

I slide my eyes open and blink at the wall.

The beeping stops, and whatever truck was reversing outside drives away.

With wakefulness comes awareness.

Did last night really happen?

I feel… warm. And… I clench my thighs.

I feel messy.

Lifting my head, I look around my apartment.

Looks empty. Feels empty.

I don’t actually know what’s more likely. That I imagined the whole thing. Or that Vameer is real.

My chest aches even thinking that.

Vameer is real.

Rolling out of bed, I look down at my nude body.

He has to be real.

I never sleep naked. Then I stand and clench my thighs a second time.

He’s definitely real.

The ache in my chest sharpens.

He’s real. And he’s gone.

Storm clouds dance over my senses as I breathe in his lingering scent.

He can’t have been gone for long. There’s no need to panic.

He’ll be back.

He’s my vampire.

Reassuring myself, I shuffle naked to the bathroom.

Morning rays are just starting to ease in around the curtains, but I leave the lights off. My night vision, or whatever the hells is going on with my eyesight, seems even better today than it was yesterday.

I let out a sigh as I sit on the toilet.

My muscles don’t feel sore exactly. But I can tell I experienced some exertion last night.

I can’t stop my grin as I reach for the toilet paper.
