Could his friend hear what was going on?Aaron allowed Orion to cuddle him for a bit.For a badass vampire, Orion had a surprising intuitive streak.Tracing Aaron’s chest and stomach with a confident touch, Orion derailed Aaron’s thoughts.He enjoyed his mate’s attention for a second before he collected his resolve and pulled away from Orion’s reach.“As much as I would love to stay in bed all day, I have to get to work.”He’d taken a week’s vacation between jobs and now his idle morning hours were forfeit.Orion’s disgruntled growl made Aaron smile but didn’t dissuade him.He really had to get to work.Today might be the day he found Zheng a body.Although Aaron had done some good work for the DEA keeping dangerous chemicals off the streets and out of the hands of children, he owed it to Zheng to free him from his enchantment.Aaron’s previous captain and good friend had written him an amazing recommendation.Of course, if Captain Warren had screwed Aaron over, Aaron wouldn’t have hesitated to call his good friend’s wife and rat him out.“One day I want you to quit this noble pursuit of justice crap and spend your days with me in decadence.” Orion’s sulky tone had Aaron turning around to face his lover.“I’ll be a grizzled old police officer by then and you’ll have moved on to a younger man.” Even as he said the words his heart ached.He’d silently vowed to enjoy his time with Orion and hold no grudges when the vampire moved on.Although he believed Orion loved him, Aaron didn’t expect their relationship to stand the test of time, not when his lover would still look the same in twenty, thirty…a thousand years.Orion scowled.“I will never replace you, beloved.”The second alarm broke into the solemnity of their discussion with an upbeat pop song.This time Aaron turned the snooze all of the way to off [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
