Saminada: It may take a couple of chapters, but you'll find out ;).

Crazykitty: here ya go! Thanks for the review!

Lots of reviews make lots of chapters. Reviews make lots of chapters come out. Lots of reviews make more than one chapter come out a day. ;)

“Thought you left,” Adam walked up behind me, and hands and pockets, smelling as if he just had a snack and been thoroughly fucked.

“Not yet,” I told him. It probably looked odd that I was just staring at the building, but Adam wouldn’t question it. I liked to try new things, sometimes.

“You going to eat?” He asked, and I thought for a moment, before nodding. It was lying, yes, but necessary.

Don’t need to know, don’t have to know, don’t have to tell.

“Well, I’m gonna go back to my place.” Adam said nonchalantly, before giving me one last look, and walking away.

I snorted, the guy didn’t even bother asking if I wanted a ride home, though I probably wasn’t gong home tonight, or at least very late.

It was around midnight when my angel finally appeared.

He was being led by the man from earlier. How I wished to rip his hands off…

Again, the man was muttering about something, and Kaden himself looked angry. I watched from where I was as he started trying to get out of the man’s grip, and let out an involuntary growl when the man just let him drop to the ground.

They began to argue over something. Sadly, I couldn’t hear, it was too quiet, and the wind blew the noise away.

When the wind stopped, I was able to hear only a bit.

“I don’t want to do it-” Kaden was saying, the man cut him off.

“I don’t care what you want, you-” Was the most I got out of it. I strained my ears to hear more, but it seemed useless.

What I did get out of it, was that my angel was doing something he didn’t want to do.

That man was going to pay.

Before I knew it, I was walking towards the two, and the man looked up at me. There was a label on his shirt that I noticed when I walked up. Jeremy Matthews, Manager.

“What’s going on here?” I asked, and Jeremy looked towards me.

“None of your fucking business.” He sneered, though I ignored him. He wasn’t the one I wanted to talk to, anyway.

Kaden was still on the dirty ground, trying to get up, and I bent down to help him, his hands clutching my arm when he finally stood.

I think he recognized my voice, because that cute confused look came back to his face, and he was staring at me. Made me wonder if he really was blind, or if he was just very perceptive.

“Get your hands off of him,” I looked at Jeremy, and snorted. The man looked as if he was about to attack. Or at least call someone who could take me on. He was no match for me, vampire or not.

“Thanks,” my angel said, still looking towards me. It seemed we were both going to ignore the man, which only seemed to agitate him more.

It would have been funny if it weren’t for the fact that he was hurting my angel, and I was trying very hard not to kill him.

“You know what? You can just fucking go home with him then. Don‘t even try to come back.” We both turned to look at the man who was walking away, getting in his car, and finally driving away.

“I’m… not quite sure what just happened.” I said. I think I just ran the man off. Oh, whoops. Not.

“I think he just left me here,” It was more to himself than to me. I seemed to be in a lot of luck today. Now I had a reason to get Kaden into my home, if he wanted.

“Do you have anywhere to go?” I asked, just to be sure. I hadn’t a doubt that Jeremy was his only way home.

I was right, too, when Kaden shook his head.

“No,” His eyes found me again, though I noticed he was actually looking at my chest, or neck, “Do you…” my angel trialed off.

“What?” I prompted, thinking of thinks I could say to get him to come with me. Kaden looked embarrassed, and his cheeks turned the loveliest shade of red.

“Could you help me? Please?” He tagged on at the end. Of course I could.

“Yeah, where do you need to go?” Again, just throwing it out there. I’d already figured out that my angel had no where to go.

“Another hotel, maybe?” Damn, didn’t think of that. I quickly thought up reasons for him not to go there. The fact that he’d be alone and blind was the most obvious, but I wasn’t going to use that excuse, not yet.

“Do you have any money?” Of course, if he really wanted to, I don’t think I’d be able to say no. I could also say that I was staying at a hotel, and have him share with me.

“No…” He closed his eyes, and the saddest look on his face hit me. He really didn’t know what to do.

“You could… you can come home with me?” More of a question than anything else, but I think I pulled modesty off. I know I got the nervousness down pat. Couldn’t help it. Who would go home with a complete stranger, anyway.

And already, he was shaking his head, “I don’t think that’d be the best idea.”

“Why not?” I couldn’t help but ask, I was getting desperate.

“I don’t want to be a bother.” I don’t think that was the only reason, though. Maybe he knew what I was? But he didn’t seem scared, he didn’t smell it, so maybe he didn’t know?

He would soon, if that was the case.

“You wouldn’t,” I stated, my hopes raising, because he was hesitating. “Stay, until you find somewhere to go.” I tacked on at the end. Make him think of me as The Good Samaritan, which I was surely not.

“Why would you want to help me?” The question caught me off guard, since I had no answer. I was sort of hoping that he wouldn’t ask. I would too, though, if I were in his shoes.

“Just want to,” was the best answer I could give, though it probably made things worse. Kindness doesn’t get you far in this world. No one believes it.

“Alright then,” Another surprise. He’d already decided? To go to the home of a strangers?

“Are you sure?” A hesitation, and then a nod, accompanied with a shy smile. Fuck, this was another bad idea. I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands to myself if he kept this up.

But, if the mate myth was true, then he’d feel the effects of it to, allow me to get in his pants quicker.

“You never told me your name.” My angel stated, and I thought back. No, I haven’t, have I?

“Dean,” Kaden nodded his head. A car honked from somewhere near by, and we both looked towards the noise. It was just some idiot driving on the road.

“Nice to meet you, Dean.” God, he said my name. And here I was thinking that I knew how to control myself better than anyone. It was taking all I had not to jump him right here in the middle of the parking lot.

No one has ever been able to test my limits this much, other than Adam, but that didn’t count, because it was of annoyance. I wanted to kill that man, not Kaden.

“I’m going to have to go call for a taxi,” I told my angel, and he nodded. It was then that I realized that he was still holding onto my arm.

It felt good, like he was trusting me to help him, which he was, but it made me feel all the better about myself and him.

“Come on,” I said, just to warn him that I was about to move, and only minutes later, we were in a taxi, on the way to my home.

There were many things that I wanted to ask him, but I didn’t want to push things to far, at least not now. I’d only just gotten him to come home with me, but for how much longer would my good luck last?

And what if I ended up being too insensitive, I mean, what if he was very emotional, and I ended up making him hate me?

I felt that talking about feelings were degrading, but what if that was what he wanted? What if he wanted romance, or complete and utter devotion.

The latter, I’m pretty sure I could work in there, but being romantic? Only for those I was wanting to fuck for a night. Even then, it didn’t happen all that often. Just a night devoted totally to release, few and far between.

I really had no idea what to do. I’d never been prepared for something like this, and the fact that he was the same sex as I was, it was considered almost as bad as treason. If my clan found out, they might kill him.

The fact that it might be because of a mythical bond more than likely wouldn’t help.

I could…

Maybe if my dreams were actually true, if this little creature sitting beside me was to be me fate intent, maybe I could get myself exiled from the clan. They’d have no say over it after that.

But how to go about doing it…

The higher ups didn’t take kindly to those that they thought were throwing the gratitude they gave them, right back in their face.

But, considering my background, I might be able to pull it off, and keep my angel safe. I had to try, at least, but I also had to think about it more.

Something else to consider, why male? I’d never thought myself attracted to my own gender. Truth be told, I don’t know that much about being with another man.

Embarrassing as it would be, I’d have to learn more about it. I’ve heard that it’s painful, less if you know what your doing, and I want to make sure my angel would be in the least amount of pain as possible. He deserves much better than that.

And me? Does he deserve better than me?

I’m a demon. I’m a killer. And I very well could be putting him in danger. I could end up stealing away the life he’s made for himself. It might even be a happy one, too.

But, along with being born as what I am, I’m also selfish.

If he had a happy life, I’ll make ours happier. It might take work, but we have a lot of time.

“Yur gettin out er what?” I looked around, we were in front of the building complex that my home was situated in.

“Yeah,” I shook the earlier thoughts and worries out of my mind, and handed the man the money he’d been wanting, and helped my angel out.

It was getting very chilly, I noticed. It made me think of the temperature in my house. Probably freezing.

I’ll have to change that, very soon.

I’d also have to get some background noise, maybe it would cover up my lack of a beating heart for a while, until I was sure Kaden knew what I was.

I led the boy inside, holding onto his warm hand. The doorman looked at me with an odd glint in his eyes. Probably thinking of gossip he could tell all the others that worked here. He didn’t like me, for some odd reason, though we never talked.

I was going to have to make sure he stayed far away from my angel. And the maid. She might try to seduce him, because she looked as if she was trying to do just that.

Skimpy clothes, lots of cleavage, and a lusty look in the eyes. I was glad that Kaden was blind at the moment.

He’s gay, I was sure, but did he know that yet? I was really going to have to question him hard. Well, not to hard, can’t scare him away now, can I?

I could also wait, if that seemed like a better choice, but, as I said, I am a selfish monster.

“This is my room,” I said, as we finally reached my room. For some odd reason, the door to my rooms were near the stairs, which was how I even heard Adam earlier this evening.

We, of course, took the elevator.

I waited for Kaden to go inside, and then locked the door. I would have to call Adam to tell him not to bother me for a while. I could probably think up some sort of excuse.
