Why does your sanity require us to live near each other?
Zander
I no longer trust that you’re taking care of yourself. Already having a hard time stopping myself from going back to your place to make sure you haven’t puked again.
My stomach tightened.
Me
I haven’t. You should be able to believe that I don’t want to waste blood, at the very least.
Zander
Should I?
Me
Yes
Zander
No
Me
YES
Zander
NO
Me
Stop arguing with me
Zander
You first
Me
There should at least be an option that lets us accept the mate bond while dating other people. If we’re nothing more than friends, that’s reasonable.
Zander
No
Me
Why not?
Zander
You’re not drinking my blood after some other bastard has his cock in you. You’re mine, or you’re not.
Me
I’m not.
