Highly unlikely
Zander
That a challenge?
Me
You can’t even feed from me without erasing my lust entirely, can you?
Zander
Demons don’t steal their mate’s lust
Me
We’re not mated
Zander
Mate, potential mate, same difference
Me

Brynn’s walking phlebotomist to the door. Grabbing a snack, then I’ll be in there to help you unpack again.

MILEY
Brynn and Zanderfound me putting things away in the closet. She had no idea we’d been texting, and didn’t ask.
She fell into place beside me, following my directions when it came to where things were supposed to go. She didn’t keep her place as organized as I kept mine, but she’d never had a problem with my methods.
I noticed Zander’s skin looking a little paler than it had earlier, and watched him for a second. He was putting things away, but his movements were slower, and they weren’t as smooth.

“You look like shit. Sit down and rest.”
“Julia said he needed to rest,” Brynn agreed.
Of course she did.
