Aaron
was silent as Blade drove them home from the club. He was confused about what
had happened. He wondered if Blade had used vampire wiles to persuade him to
have sex with his brother-in-law. He shifted in his seat.
“Are
you okay?”
“Sure.
I just wish I knew what happened last night.”
“How
many children do you have? Surely you know by now what happened?” Blade
laughed.
“That’s
not what I meant, fang face, and you know it. I don’t know why I had sex with
Matt.”
“Can
you honestly tell me you’ve never thought about it before?”
“Can’t
you give me a straight answer?”
“You’re
avoiding the question, Aaron. I know I’m a slut and I don’t care. Vampires
aren’t real big on monogamy. You, however, are. There’s no way I could have ‘convinced’
you to do anything you didn’t want to do. So…”
“Fine.
I’m attracted to him,” Aaron shot back nettled at the vampire. He hadn’t wanted
to admit that he was attracted to Matt. There were certain unspoken rules and
one of them was: ‘Thou shalt not lust after your sibling’s spouse.’ “Sorry,
Blade. I just feel guilty about it. I cheated on Ice and Onyx, I had sex with a
married man, I had sex with my sister’s husband. Anyone of those is reason
enough to feel guilty.”
Blade
sighed, “I don’t know what to tell you. I’ll talk to Ice. Onyx won’t care as
much.”
“How
do you know?”
The
vampire concentrated on the road. “Because I’ve taken him there before and
we’ve enjoyed the company of some of the professionals working there.”
“You
cheated?”
“Yes.”
“So
why were you mad at me before?”
“I
don’t care about the sex. I was mad because you lied about it and you were
drinking again.”
Aaron
let the conversation drop. There was nothing he could say to defend his earlier
actions. He’d cheated and had a child with another woman. Ice still hadn’t
completely forgiven him for that and now Aaron had cheated again.
