Chapter 73

Aaron nodded. He finished the dishes and went to his room. He stared at the ceiling before finally falling into a restless sleep. A knock on the door in the morning woke him. Ice poked his head in.
“Blade’s leaving in half an hour. Are you going with him?”
Aaron hesitated before nodding. “Yeah. I’ll go.” He dressed and threw some clothes into a suitcase before rushing out to slide into Blade’s car.
Neither one of them spoke as Blade drove to the airport. They got onto the plane. Aaron spent the flight staring out the window. Blade’s proximity was disturbing. Knowing that he would be alone with the vampire for two weeks meant that Aaron would have to confront his attraction to him.
The taxi dropped them off at their hotel. Blade touched his arm. “I’m going to check in. Do you want to relax in the room for the rest of the day?”
“Sure. That’s fine.” Aaron replied distractedly.
“Okay. I have to meet with the local vampires tonight. I’m not sure what time I’ll be in.”
“Fine.” Aaron went up the room and unpacked. He stretched out on the bed and fell asleep.
