“We would be outed for sure,” Dane agreed.

“Yeah. We can only do it when it’s for the good of a situation.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his mouth, slowly, eagerly, passionately, and he matched her delicious moves. “We handled this matter well.”

“We did. I was thinking we would have to use our swords to intimidate them to hold still until we could get hold of the police and they arrived. I realized then that I could make them comply with a vampire’s persuasion and get the police there, but I have to admit as much as I know you are great at fighting, I still worried about you.”

“I had the same thing in mind and immediately scared them to pieces when I showed up in front of them before they could reach the front door. It looked like you were handling things fine, or I wouldn’t have left you.”

“I’m glad to hear it. Did you show them your fangs?”

“No, I just told them to lie down on their stomachs and put their hands being their backs until I released them. Then I called the police.”

“That worked great. I’ve got to get a hold of someone to replace the window.” Dane got on his phone and called the man he’d used for house repairs before, and he said he would come over to measure the window. “I’ve got someone coming over to take a look at the window frame.”

“That’s quick.”

“I killed a rogue vampire who was after his teenaged daughter. The vampire wanted her for his own, and I went after him right away. The girl was only fourteen. So Howard really appreciated my help and whenever I need some handywork done, he’s there for me get it done.”

“That’s great, especially since you need that window replaced as soon as you can.”

“Right. What appeals to you for lunch?” he asked.

“I could make grilled cheese sandwiches if you have cheese and bread,” she said.

“Yep, that would be great.”

They both transported downstairs. “You didn’t transport like that in front of the officers,” she said.

“No. I figured I would startle them too much if I suddenly appeared upstairs and the officers might have shot me.”

“Oh, true.”

He brought out the extra sharp cheddar cheese and the butter while she found a frying pan. Then he set the bread out for her. She started grilling the sandwiches and he brought out plates, dill pickles, and potato chips.

She glanced at the bag of chips. “Oh, sour cream and onion chips. My favorite.”

“Great. Mine too.”

Within a few minutes, she flipped the sandwiches over and grilled the other side. Then she served them up and he got glasses of water for them. “Do you need any more blood?”

“No, thanks, I’m good.”

They ate their sandwiches and pickles and then she sighed. “I’ll see you tonight then?” She glanced out the window. “If the rain settles down.”

“We can see each other anyway. We can do something different. Like watch a movie, or something.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“I’ll clean things up.”

“Okay, see you at…” She glanced at her phone. “Okay, rain is stopping soon. Five?”

“Yeah, see you then. And we can have dinner and then go for our walk.”

“Yeah, I would love to do that.”

Then the man came to replace Dane’s window, and she kissed Dane and said, “I’ll see you soon.”

He kissed her back. “See you too.”
