I drink the blood from the cup and lick my lips.

"How can you drink it, it's disgusting." he srunches his nose.

"I'm a vamp, I live on blood, Bay." I shake my head, "it's not supposed to taste good for you."

"Yeah, but ... you know, when you-never mind,"

"When I what?" I raise a brow.

"Nothing?"

"When I what Baylor." I say his full name.

"Well, when you're drinking blood, but then someone doesn't like the taste of it and ... and you- you know.

Let's stop," he pouts.

What is he talking about? When I what?

When I ... Oh, when I kiss someone else! he's thinking of kissing me again!

"Don't worry, I will have a clean mouth the next time we kiss."

"What! That's not what I meant! Totally not!!!!" he blushes.

"Really?" I raise a brow and smirk. He tenses. His body language is so easy.

"N-n-no. NO!" he chunks down the wine. Interesting choice of drink.

"Are you okay? You are red."

"It's the red wine." he says.

"Of course." I nod, "the wine." I mock him.

"So, why are you Mafia again?" he looks at me.

I raise a brow. "Why? It sounds like it's hard to believe that someone like me could me a mafia."

"Well, kind of."

I frown. "Why's that?"

"You are young. First of all-,"

"I'm older than you, FIRST OF ALL, and my age has nothing to do with my powers. I'm capable of a lot."

"Let me finish." he cuts me off and I gasp, "your family doesn't live here-,"

"Why would they?"

"I'm taking, Leif." he squints his eyes. I do too. "usually it's a family business. I don't see any guards, or other people.

I don't see you work. YOu don't seem dangerous at all and ... are you rich? Yeah, you have this castle, but maybe it was abondant and- you decided to live here."

"E-h. Excuse you?" I say taken back.

"Apology accepted." he nods.

"Well, for you concern, my father gave me the position and I'm in contact with them, I'm just not a family type. Okay?

And I have soo many guards, all over the place. They are just trained to be quick and 'invisible'.

Every vampire knows me and listens to me, alright?!

And I work my ass off. that's why I'm always gone." I frown, "I'm very-very-very dangerous and if you keep cutting me off like this, I will show you how much.

YOu better be scared."

"Crying on the floor." he mumbles.

"You better wait and I'm extremly rich. this castle is huge and I bought it and everything within a square kilometer. So don't even start on money- I hate when someone doubts my abilities."

"Fine. Okay. Don't start yelling at me."

"I'm not yelling now, but I might.

WHat do you have ... puppy?"

He shakes his head frowning , mumbling something under his nose. "I have a unique blood and godly beauty.

Something you'll never have." He looks at me proudly.

I lean over to him. "We will see about that, huh?" I look down onto his lips.

"Shut up. Why do you live here with so many people?" he asks.

I sigh. "And why not? Is there some policy?"

"No, but like you said- it's your castle ... are the other paying rent?"

I chuckle. "You're so silly. Tadeo is my best friend and Avi is his pregnant boyfriend, Jaslyn is his big sis.

Henrik is my kind of cousin and he clearly needs a full bed of people. Luella is his aunty-in-law, I guess?

It just sort of happened. At least it's not boring here.

I of course have a cheff, gardener, cleaner, house keeper, guard, assistant.

You are just not meant to meet them."

"What about your stupid raven?"

I smile. "He's been good. Are you still mad at him?"

"He snitched on me..."

"I know, that's why I keep him around."

"Do you have him spy on me?" he looks at me worried.

"I don't know what he does in his free time. Is there something you want to hide from me?"

"no." he scoffs, "So you're getting back to work?"

"I'm staying at home. With you."

"Me?-like I care." he rubs his neck.

I smirk. "I'll get the chains."

"C-chains?" he looks at me shocked.

"For your ... full moon." I add.

"Oh," he slaps his thigh and laughs, "t-the full moon. Yeah, do that. Hm. yeah. well ..." he clears his throat.

Cute.
