\u201cWhat do you mean by cheating?\u201d Victor asked then sighed as he took a swig from a drink. \u201cI\u2019m usually a decent judge of character. That and there\u2019s something about you that draws me in. That makes me want to be around you.\u201d He said then looked down a little self conscious at explaining his emotions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEmpath,\u201d she said gently. \u201cI don\u2019t have to worry about if I should trust people. I call it cheating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOh, I see what you mean there. Well, I read people\u2019s facial expressions and body language pretty well. It\u2019s not the same as being an empath but it\u2019s served me pretty well.\u201d He ran a hand through his medium length hair, needing to do something, to act. He wasn\u2019t used to displaying his emotions and while he didn\u2019t have a problem with Summer knowing them he was afraid his emotions wouldn\u2019t be reciprocated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNow why does talking about this tangle you up so much?\u201d Summer frowned a little, looking at Victor from the corner of her eye. \u201cFear, frustration, concern \u2014 that\u2019s a lot of shadows, darlin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor looked up at her momentarily surprised then he remembered her ability. \u201cIt tangles me up cos I don\u2019t want to hurt the people I care for, which tends to happen. It\u2019s frustrating cos I have these emotions that are holding me back that I can\u2019t seem to shake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He shrugged, his chameleon eyes staring into her own eyes. \u201cI have a lot of baggage but I like you. I like you a lot Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re worried about hurting me emotionally, then don\u2019t. You \u2026 can\u2019t, really. I\u2019ve been all those places,\u201d she looked down, picking at the grass, \u201cheard every possible hurtful thing. If it\u2019s about the vampirism \u2026 I think the only person who can ease your mind on that is yourself. I mean, so long as you can\u2019t accidentally turn me, I don\u2019t really care. Other than that, just don\u2019t lie to me, and we\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor\u2019s head snapped up and his eyes were hopeful. \u201cI\u2019m sorry you\u2019ve been to all of those places and if you\u2019re willing to put up with me\u2026.I\u2019d love to be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had a distant look in his eyes for a moment then he turned to her. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible for it to happen accidentally. Even if I bit you, you wouldn\u2019t turn. You\u2019d have to drink my blood\u2026So long as I don\u2019t feed you blood, which I don\u2019t see happening\u2026\u201d He stopped realizing he was rambling like an idiot. \u201cIt just could never happen on accident.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Be with me?” Summer’s voice went up on a squeak. “You want to … but I’m not — I mean, you’re too … um.” She was trying to hide a shy, surprised smile, ducking her head. “I thought we were still talking about being friends,” she murmured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
