DUMONT’S P. O. V
We relocated Herron to another room then went off to our own. Each of us lost in thoughts. Of course, we had heard what Herron was told just because the woman wanted us to hear.
I wonder if Lorenzo and Herron have lived through many lifetimes as I have, if what the woman said is true then we should act soon, am just glad she approached Herron because that lightens our job of telling him all about mates. I haven't even had the chance to apologize to Herron or beg him to take me back and bad things are already happening.
"Lorenzo, I need to ask you something "
We were now in our bedroom and he was sitting while I was still standing at the door. He looked so sexy in his pajamas, I still don't understand why he insists of wearing them when we could just sleep in the nude or even in shorts instead. I asked him about it the first night we spent together and he said it's to help reduce temptation as, we had agreed to wait until Herron accepted us before taking things past making out. As if anything could help reduce how much he turns me on regardless of whatever he is wearing.
“Am listening “
I could hear the concern and worry in his voice, not to what I wanted to ask but to everything that happened tonight.
“I know this will sound weird but I really want to know,” I said while walking towards him.
"Is this your first lifetime? “OK that sounded weird and I could see a bit of confusion before it all sunk in and it seems like something clicked in his brain.
“No, why do you ask? “there was more to that question, he wanted to ask but decided not to.
“Because it's not mine either, I have been through many lifetimes too. "
“How? I thought vampires are immortal? Why do you need to be reborn? "
Did I ever mention that he looked hotter while flustered? Well, now I have... I could hear the motors in his head turn while he thought, he had many questions and they flustered him... He looks absolutely edible right now, I trailed my eyes to his lips and couldn't help but remember how they feel when I kissed him, I unconsciously liked my lips with the tip of my tongue, just as I was leaning in to taste these plump lips, he moved away.
"Dumont!! Stop getting sidetracked, I asked you a question.! "
I could see his cheeks turn pink while he struggled not to stammer, and there was a light arousal scent in the air that am sure wasn't my own. Must we talk right now we have all the time in the world, I feel horny and I just want to kiss him. So maybe I should just answer him fast, get this over with then deal with feeding my or our needs. Sounds like a good plan to me.
"OK OK, so I wasn't born a vampire in my lives before, just this one. And I am truly eighteen years old. "
“Oh, that explains a lot. “I didn't have to say anything to that because he was already talking again. Can't he just stop so we can make out? Because if we don’t, I might get frustrated and grumpy. And that's not fun at all.
“Do you think we should just tell Herron everything? I mean with all that happened tonight, plus the lady said we should hurry “
He looked at me as if I had all the answers in the world. Oh, maybe I do.
“What if he rejects us? “I Am scared of that happening and I know Lorenzo is too. As much as he is trying to stay positive.
We left that question hanging in the air, all the arousal we felt before forgotten as we cuddled together on the bed, each of us lost in our own thoughts.
I wonder if Herron would remember everything that happened tonight and I really hope he doesn't just push them aside as mere dreams. The full moon is in a week and the blood moon in a fortnight. That's not enough time, why didn't the lady come earlier, like five years ago or ten or the life before this. Why now when we hardly have time to prepare at all. This isn't fair, the safety of the universe is in our hands and we are just told that now? Gah! They say life isn't fair, they must have meant this exactly.
"You know, I am sure there is a book somewhere that might tell us something, like what are the furies? "
Lorenzo's voice came out in a whisper like he wasn't sure at all if he wanted to know what these furies are. But he definitely had a point.
“Why don't we check at the local library tomorrow ".
He just nodded to that, making me tug at his hair which I have been playing with all this while. I could feel him falling asleep. So, I let him be as I closed my own eyes, trying to push down the bad feeling I had in my gut.
After a few minutes, sleep was proving to be a tough mistress to seduce so I decided to take my phone and text Guido to check up on the pack.
Me: Hey dude, are you awake yet?
I asked, knowing he might still be deep asleep as, it was only around 7 am in Italy.
Guido : Where is the fire Lorenzo? And of course I was still asleep. I had the midnight patrol shift. What's up?
Me: Not much, was just checking up on you and the pack. Did you solve the rogue problem you were telling me about yesterday?
I knew the answer to that but I just need to keep chatting. I wonder how Herron is faring, I really hope he is asleep.
Guido: Of course, we hunted down the mutts that dared come into our territory and killed them all.
I am really glad to have Guido as my beta, he is ruthless.
Me: That's good Guido, I am really glad to have you. Hows your mate? You guys have any pups yet?
We chatted for a few more minutes but Guido kept asking me if I was okay, of course I kept saying I was fine. No need to worry my pack over nothing.
I really hope it's nothing.
