blood. The cold water soaks me to the skin, adding pounds of weight to my outfit. Luckily, the lake isn’t very deep here. It would be a bitch to swim in such water-logged clothes.
     “Ramses?” I ask in shock as I recognize the form straddling my hips. He has his hands on my shoulders as he glares down at me. Even in the dark, his eyes burn like precious jewels in a statue of some god of war.
     “Is this why you won’t talk to me?” he snarls. “Are you with this human now?”
     A thousand different responses demand I toss them at Ramses, but I’m still a little too stunned. He thinks I’ve been doing what? And with who?
     “Answer me, Sreya, or I’ll head back to Minneapolis tonight. I didn’t come back here just to find out you’ve forgotten about me. About us.”
         “Of course not, you idiot,” I growl at him. “I thought you were the one who forgot about me.”
         Relief wars with the anger in his blue eyes for a moment. Ramses doesn’t have much of a temper, but when he gets riled, it’s a scary sight to see.
         My neck is starting to hurt from keeping my head out of the water. I’m not going to drown if I go under, but I can’t imagine I’d like the feeling of inhaling lake water while being pinned down. It sounds a little bit too claustrophobic to me.
         “Can I get up now?” I ask in a tone meant to be calm. My words instead come out breathy and a little shaky. I don’t like it, but the press of hard dick against my lower navel tells me Ramses does.
         “No,” he says, and bends down toward me.
         He slides his tongue into my mouth and licks along the edges of my fangs, like he’s trying to take the last microscopic droplets of Kaiser’s blood from within my mouth. The movement presses my head under the water. I feel the softness of the sand beneath my hair and close my eyes against the cold liquid now surrounding me entirely.
         Ramses kisses me like he’ll breathe life into me. All at once he drowns, destroys, revitalizes, and renews me. I couldn’t have described in words how much I missed him these past three years, so I try to pour it all wordlessly into the kiss I give him back.
         His breath is in my mouth, and I don’t fear being under the water at all. I push up against him with all my strength, pushing my lower body into his and my mouth against his lips. My fangs nick his tongue, and his blood mixes with whatever might have been left of Kaiser’s. I moan, but the sound is swallowed up by Ramses’ mouth. If it hadn’t been lost in his lips, it would have been drowned by the water around us.
         He backs away and pulls me up out of the water. Kaiser looks down on us from the pier, trying to decide if he could be any help at all if he came down to try to get Ramses off of me. He knows all about the other vampire, though, and how much I’ve yearned for him since he’s been gone.
         “I guess I’ll see you around, Sreya,” Kaiser says. His awkward tone hangs over me, heavier than the water that soaks my clothes.
         “Ramses is sorry, Kaiser,” I tell him. “He can kind of be a possessive ass.”
         “He has a right to be,” Kaiser says with a quick smile. Ramses’ arm tightens around my waist as he lifts me to my feet.
         “Don’t you have a female you could feed from?” Ramses asks as we watch Kaiser walk back toward the compound.
         “Don’t push it, mister,” I warn him. I make for the shoreline, ready to get out of these wet clothes. “If I could think about anything else besides getting you naked, I’d be pissed at you right now.”
         Ramses smirks at me as I pull him along behind me. “How did I go so long without you?” he asks.
         “Don’t ask me .
,
I was wondering the same thing.”
         I tug on his large hand and feel like a kid pulling along a much larger, much stronger adult. Ramses has always
