"Step out of the vehicle sir."
A blonde baby-faced cop was shining a flashlight into my car as he politely told James to get out. My hands shook as I rummaged through my leather bag looking for my drivers license.
I mentally thanked the DMV for their 6-year renewa
(more)l option while the cop gave it a cursary glance. I'm gonna have to ask James how vampires renew their photo ID's, those flourescent lights were hell on my complexion when I was human, they must be a nightmare for vampires.
"What are you two doing parked in a school zone?"
There were 2 cops on either side of the car. 2 more leaned against one of the patrol-cars blocking us in.
My non-heart was non-pounding.
I wondered if James was gonna go all vampire-crazy on them.
His finger was dripping blood.
My tongue snuck out to make sure there weren't any tell-tale drops on my lips.
A few minutes ago James was trying to figure out why my fangs weren't retracting. When all those lights flashed on us I jumped and accidentally bit him.
His scent was driving me crazy.
My mouth was watering, there was a passed-out would-be burglar in the woods behind us (we tried to stick to unsavory characters when we fed), and men with guns had us surrounded.
This couldn't end well.
I have no idea what was said but a few seconds later the boys-in-blue were walking away apologizing profusely for interrupting us.
James backed me against the hood of my car and reached out, his bleeding finger sliding along my parted lips.
"James how did you-"
Oh man he tastes good!
"You bit me," he said.
"I'm sorry."
I swallowed audibly as the taste of James slid down my throat."
He wasn't gonna tell me.(less)
