brother being gay. It dawns on me just how little we know about each other and yet here I am. On a road trip with virtual strangers – whereabouts unknown.
“Yeah,” Riley says, drawing my attention away from Ian. He’s looking down at me with warmth in his eyes. “He is.”
Geez, had he been worried about my reaction as well?
My stomach picks that moment to start growling and they both laugh at me.
“Let’s get inside our room and we will order something to eat.” Ian says, he looks to Riley, “Sound good to you?”
“Yeah, brother. Sounds good.”
And we do just that.

Ian is stacking empty pizza boxes on the desk in front of the window when Riley stands up and announces he’s leaving to go flirt with the desk clerk.
“Be careful,” Ian solemnly tells him.
“Always, brother, always.”
Ian taps his forehead, “if you need me let me know.”
Riley’s eyes go wide and his face fills with shock, “You want me to use my magic?” He carefully asks. At Ian’s nod he asks, “Just like that?”
“Magic,” I scoff, “people don’t have magic. Please.”
“Right,” Riley says with a smirk on his face, “just like there’s no such thing as Vampires.”
I open my mouth to say something, what I have no idea, but I’m sure it will be good, but Ian gets there first.
“Leave her be. This is all new to her and she doesn’t know anything about magic or Vampires. Go. Be careful and let me know if you need me.”
I like that he’s always sticking up for me with his brother. I don’t think I need him to do it for me, but I most certainly like that he does it.
Riley doesn’t say anything he just shoots me a dirty look and leaves. I guess he doesn’t appreciate his brother sticking up for me as much as I do. Ian and I don’t say anything for a few minutes, we both stand there, lost in our own thoughts, staring at the door.
Ian is the first to break the silence. Thank god, because I’m at a complete loss here, words having failed me. He clears his throat. When I look at him he asks me, “Would you like to watch a movie or something on the television?”
Would I like to watch a movie or something on the television? Uh, no, I would not. Not when there’s so many things he has yet to explain to me. “Maybe you could explain things to me now?”
Subtle, Shayne. Real subtle.
He opens his mouth and closes it a few times before he cautiously asks, “What do you want to know?”
Your every little secret. Your heart’s desire. Shit like that.
I find myself fighting an eye roll. Really? Like he even had to ask me such a stupid question.
“Everything. I want to know everything.” I rush out before he can change his mind and tell me I have to wait longer for him to give me my answers. “I want to know if that thing in my apartment that attacked me was really a Vampire. Why are there no longer any marks on my neck from him biting me? What happened to him? Why did I have to leave my home and Anna May? Why do you think it’s not safe for me? Who you are? Why do you keep calling me your mate? I want to know everything. You told me you would explain it to me and I think now is a pretty damn good time for you to do it. I don’t like being kept in the dark. I want to know what you’ve involved me in here.”
When I’m finally done speaking I suck in a huge lungful of air. I tend to ramble when I’m uncomfortable.
Please, I think, don’t brush off my questions this time like you have every other time I’ve asked.
“You’re right.” He says, sounding defeated. “I did tell you I would explain everything. Sit. Get comfortable. I have a feeling this may take some time.”
I sigh in relief. Finally. I am going to get some answers.
Thank god for that because I totally threw my plan right out the window.
