<v Speaker 3>Today's episode. Trigger warnings are murder, kidnapping, and explicit sexual content.

<v Speaker 4>And I have an Apple review and it comes from

<v Speaker 4>Hailey Bear and it says, love y'all so much, literally

<v Speaker 4>love these girls. I wait every week for a new

<v Speaker 4>episode to come out. I've showed everyone but my mom

<v Speaker 4>y'all's show.

<v Speaker 5>Keep it up, Thank you, thank you, cutie.

<v Speaker 1>And this week we're telling Riley all about loving a

<v Speaker 1>vampire is total Chaos by Aura Hayes And how many

<v Speaker 1>stars did you guys give it?

<v Speaker 5>On good Reads? I gave it four.

<v Speaker 2>I liked it.

<v Speaker 3>It was cute, fluffy, yeah, nothing wrong.

<v Speaker 5>On Mine, I gave it a four and a half

<v Speaker 5>because I loved the banter between the two main characters,

<v Speaker 5>and I thought it was really witty and cute, like

<v Speaker 5>cute little bromcom. I also gave it a four.

<v Speaker 1>I have this new thing because of this book, where

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I want like a psychotic golden retriever MMC

<v Speaker 1>for every book.

<v Speaker 2>He's so sweet, but he's a psychopath psycho.

<v Speaker 5>Ooh, but he's the cutest. He's the cutest little psychopath.

<v Speaker 2>Also a ginger with glasses, our first ginger.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he has glasses. So the story opens up

<v Speaker 5>in Xavier's point of view. Even after three hundred years,

<v Speaker 5>the sound of grown men begging for mercy still brings

<v Speaker 5>a smile to Xavier's face. He's a vampire and he's

<v Speaker 5>on some vampire vigilante shit. Right now, what was a

<v Speaker 5>party of forty men is now down to a one

<v Speaker 5>single person left, Peter, Peter, Peter. That's a pretty good lois.

<v Speaker 5>Peter's begging for his life, offering Xavier money, anything so

<v Speaker 5>he doesn't get killed and dismembered like the rest of

<v Speaker 5>the men before him. A few things about Xavier is

<v Speaker 5>he's a lover and a hopeless romantic. He's got the

<v Speaker 5>heart of gold if he had a heart. Peter kidnaps

<v Speaker 5>women and sex traffics them, so there's no way in

<v Speaker 5>hell that he's gonna let this man live. Oh kill him.

<v Speaker 5>Xavier was in a relationship once and literally never again

<v Speaker 5>because this bitch was so crazy it like swore him

<v Speaker 5>off of women forever. He's one of those you can't

<v Speaker 5>trust a hoe.

<v Speaker 2>My ex was crazy girls, women, females.

<v Speaker 5>There you go. Xavier decapitates Peter like the rest of

<v Speaker 5>the men, and when he hears sirens coming close, he

<v Speaker 5>assembles all the heads how he wants them and draws

<v Speaker 5>his signature symbol with the blood and body parts, and

<v Speaker 5>then escapes. Cute vampires don't have fingerprints, and the serial

<v Speaker 5>killer that these cops have been trying and failing to

<v Speaker 5>find for years is Zavier. He was about to leave

<v Speaker 5>until he sees the cop get out of the car

<v Speaker 5>and it stops some dead in his tracks.

<v Speaker 4>A flash of brown hair catches my eye, swinging around

<v Speaker 4>a women's shoulders and a curtain of glossy darkness that

<v Speaker 4>resembles a raven's wing, and my heart stops. I watch

<v Speaker 4>enraptured as she exits the car with toned legs encased

<v Speaker 4>in dark skin tight jeans and black boots. I'm no

<v Speaker 4>stranger to attractive women, but it's like there's a magnetic

<v Speaker 4>pull leading me toward this one. I want to gather

<v Speaker 4>her hair back as it starts to stick to her face,

<v Speaker 4>slick from the pouring rain. Hardened eyes scan the scene,

<v Speaker 4>I can't pinpoint exactly what color her irises are. Vampirism

<v Speaker 4>isn't a cure for everything, and my shit eyesight carried

<v Speaker 4>over when I was changed. It's not entirely a bad thing,

<v Speaker 4>since I can pull off a pair of glasses like

<v Speaker 4>nobody's business.

<v Speaker 1>How shitty though you'd get turned into a vampire and

<v Speaker 1>you just still have shitty eyes.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I thought they're supposed to be like perfect, perfect vision,

<v Speaker 5>perfect skin. Nope, he gets in a fight and his

<v Speaker 5>glasses get thrown off.

<v Speaker 4>He likes my glass, my glasses.

<v Speaker 5>This is Selene Brennan's first case since being promoted as

<v Speaker 5>a detective at twenty six years old. She's at the

<v Speaker 5>crime scene looking at a fucked up attempt of a

<v Speaker 5>smiley face with fangs.

<v Speaker 3>So that's his signature, with like dismembered body parts and shit.

<v Speaker 5>As she's taking in this grueling scene. The Captain's like, yeah,

<v Speaker 5>so you should know this is kind of normal. We

<v Speaker 5>low key have a serial killer that leaves his victims

<v Speaker 5>like this and always uses the same signature. There have

<v Speaker 5>been three mass murderers this month alone, and all the

<v Speaker 5>victims have been criminals, so it's kind of like dexter.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but if I was the cops, I'd be like,

<v Speaker 4>thank you, thank you for helping us.

<v Speaker 5>So, because vampires don't have fingerprints, only footprints have been caught,

<v Speaker 5>and it's always the same shoe size, and one person

<v Speaker 5>committing all these crimes does not make sense and it's

<v Speaker 5>almost impossible. So they're like, there has to be a

<v Speaker 5>group of people that are doing this. Later, Selene gets

<v Speaker 5>home to feed her cat that has been inherited to her,

<v Speaker 5>and its name is Midnight. It's a very sassy black

<v Speaker 5>cat that, like actually Loki, hates her. Every time she

<v Speaker 5>tries to talk to it, it like hisses and scratches her.

<v Speaker 4>I think I'd like a cat like that, A spicy cat.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Midnight is her father's cat. Her dad has dementia,

<v Speaker 5>and during one of his last lucid moments, he wished

<v Speaker 5>for Selene to take care of his best friend, Selene's mom.

<v Speaker 5>His wife ran for the hills and left them when

<v Speaker 5>his condition started getting serious. She was only eighteen and

<v Speaker 5>she hasn't talked to her her mom since.

<v Speaker 2>Wow, what a cume.

<v Speaker 5>Selene has that bestie, Eva, that works at the police

<v Speaker 5>station with her, and they went to their local coffee

<v Speaker 5>shop one morning and as they were talking about her dad,

<v Speaker 5>the conversation got Hella depressing, so Ava slams down a

<v Speaker 5>flyer from her purse on the counter. It's of a

<v Speaker 5>new club named Vex and it's opening up soon downtown,

<v Speaker 5>and she tells her she wants to go and have

<v Speaker 5>some fun with Selene. Selene was one hundred percent going

<v Speaker 5>to decline, and that wasn't until she heard from Luna,

<v Speaker 5>the barista, that the new nightclub is apparently a front

<v Speaker 5>for sex trafficking. Xavier is currently torturing a man for

<v Speaker 5>Selene Brennan and she doesn't even know it. He takes

<v Speaker 5>his phone out and shows the man a picture of

<v Speaker 5>him and Selene talking and he's like, why were you

<v Speaker 5>talking to her? Like, dude, She's like a random girl

<v Speaker 5>that I thought I could hook up with. I literally

<v Speaker 5>don't even know her, and he's like, oh, so you

<v Speaker 5>thought you could get with her. You want to know

<v Speaker 5>what I think?

<v Speaker 4>His humorous bone snaps under my shoe, that I don't want.

<v Speaker 5>A filthy creature like you.

<v Speaker 4>His fingers crunched with ease in my hand, touching what

<v Speaker 4>belongs to me.

<v Speaker 2>He's insane. I love him, I.

<v Speaker 4>Mean, yeah, hot, but like, she doesn't even know you, no,

<v Speaker 4>but he knows her.

<v Speaker 5>But that's his pooky. Savior kills a man not wanting

<v Speaker 5>to be away from his pooky one moment longer. And

<v Speaker 5>he's been like stalking her ever since he saw her

<v Speaker 5>that one night at the crime scene. So he just

<v Speaker 5>watched her from the shadows before Xavior notes what he's doing.

<v Speaker 5>He's standing in front of Selene's apartment building, following her

<v Speaker 5>scent all the way to her apartment door. He's standing there,

<v Speaker 5>just taking it all in. He starred up, fantasizing about

<v Speaker 5>a lovely reunion, her running into his arms like known

<v Speaker 5>each other for years, him swinging her in the air,

<v Speaker 5>and then he hears a man next to him clear

<v Speaker 5>his throat and he's like, uh, can I help you?

<v Speaker 5>He lies and says that he's Selene's cousin Trent, who's

<v Speaker 5>visiting from California and she gave him the wrong key.

<v Speaker 5>They share introductions and the man says that his name

<v Speaker 5>is Corey, and Corey lives, of course, right next door

<v Speaker 5>to her, and he has a bunch of bags in

<v Speaker 5>his hands, so Xavier takes one of the bags from

<v Speaker 5>him and helps him inside his apartment. Once inside, Zavire

<v Speaker 5>does a cute little tour and Corey is obviously uncomfortable.

<v Speaker 5>He's like, hey, dude, not to be rude, and I

<v Speaker 5>appreciate all your help, but can you go because he's

<v Speaker 5>just like hanging out in the sky's apartment. Oh my god, yeah,

<v Speaker 5>I'd be like leave. Xavier says, of course, one question,

<v Speaker 5>do you ever? Do you ever talk to Selene? And

<v Speaker 5>Corey tells him that he's try asking her out before,

<v Speaker 5>but she declined and that she's kind of frigid. Xavier

<v Speaker 5>knows that if Selene passed on him, she must have

<v Speaker 5>had a good reason, so he said, perfect, then I

<v Speaker 5>don't feel bad about doing this at all and punches

<v Speaker 5>him square in the face for talking poorly about his pooky.

<v Speaker 5>Only he punched him so hard he accidentally killed him.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, he Oopsie. Xavier throws Corey out the

<v Speaker 5>side window. He just like yeats him out of the

<v Speaker 5>window of the apartment and messages his cleanup man that

<v Speaker 5>there's a body to dispose of. After Corey goes Bye bye,

<v Speaker 5>Savire's vamp ears pick up on Selene on the phone

<v Speaker 5>with Ava talking about the club and their plans to

<v Speaker 5>go tomorrow not only to party but also to snoop

<v Speaker 5>because the alleged sex trafficking front and this has his

<v Speaker 5>interest instantly piqued. Ava has a boyfriend, Spencer, and because

<v Speaker 5>they're so happy and in love. Ava often worries for

<v Speaker 5>her single friend because she's such a recluse and takes

<v Speaker 5>care of everyone else besides herself. Ava promises to keep

<v Speaker 5>her eyes and ears open while they're clubbing. She will

<v Speaker 5>try to open up to more people, and Ava says

<v Speaker 5>the deal. Inside the club, they do some shots in

<v Speaker 5>dancing and Ava tells her to go and try and

<v Speaker 5>find a hottie. Selene does like some awkward shimming by herself,

<v Speaker 5>like scouting the room when she's dancing. Yeah yeah, that's

<v Speaker 5>when an arm sneaks around her and hears relax murmured

<v Speaker 5>in her ear.

<v Speaker 4>Oh.

<v Speaker 5>Normally, she would definitely not relax, but this voice, it's

<v Speaker 5>almost like the second she heard it, times stopped and

<v Speaker 5>it instantly soothed her. She can't see her mystery man,

<v Speaker 5>but she doesn't need to in order to know that

<v Speaker 5>this feels right. He asks her or dance with him,

<v Speaker 5>and he promises that he doesn't bite. Because she promised

<v Speaker 5>Ava she would open up a little bit. She leans

<v Speaker 5>back against him and starts grinding.

<v Speaker 4>My heart rate picks up under his touch and by

<v Speaker 4>the feeling of hardness against my ass. He's just as

<v Speaker 4>affected by me as I am him. Such a good girl,

<v Speaker 4>he croons, and a soft mode escapes me at his words,

<v Speaker 4>oh my god. On the dance floor, I'd be like, oh,

<v Speaker 4>we gotta go.

<v Speaker 5>As if Zavir wasn't obsessed with Selene before, he's totally

<v Speaker 5>fucked now. He's already so pussy whipped and she doesn't

<v Speaker 5>even know he exists.

<v Speaker 4>Though my teeth nip her ear, allowing myself a small

<v Speaker 4>taste of forbidden fruit. Her small moans drive me crazy

<v Speaker 4>as we continue to grind against each other and practically

<v Speaker 4>humping her like a dog, and I'd let her leash

<v Speaker 4>me any day her like a dog.

<v Speaker 5>Xavier decides that he wants Selene as addicted to him

<v Speaker 5>as he is to her. He hears Ava call Selene's

<v Speaker 5>name over the music with his vampire hearing, and he

<v Speaker 5>decided now's a perfect time to leave her wanting more,

<v Speaker 5>so he caresses her cheek without having her see him,

<v Speaker 5>and then walks away. When Ava went to the bathroom,

<v Speaker 5>she heard yelling through the vents and told Selene she

<v Speaker 5>got some serious tea. She overheard someone fighting about a

<v Speaker 5>delivery of san gray gone wrong. She tells Selene and

<v Speaker 5>Spencer that san gray is a Spanish word for blood.

<v Speaker 5>Detective Selene tried and failed to get into the room

<v Speaker 5>where they heard the arguing. She acted like she was

<v Speaker 5>a drunk girl looking for the bathroom, but she quickly

<v Speaker 5>gets shut down and threatened. The next day, Eva decides

<v Speaker 5>she's going to set Selene up on a blind date

<v Speaker 5>with Spencer's cousin Asher. Selene brings up her sexy dance

<v Speaker 5>partner from last night, but since she didn't even see

<v Speaker 5>the man, she approved of the date. Selene goes to Vex,

<v Speaker 5>the nightclub by herself to do some recon During the day,

<v Speaker 5>she finds nothing suspicious, except for when she gets back

<v Speaker 5>to her car and starts driving home, she notices that

<v Speaker 5>she's being tailed, and she looses them as she pulls

<v Speaker 5>into her underground apartment garage. Like, why would you go home? Yeah? No,

<v Speaker 5>but she's a detective. She needs pull out. Her gonna

<v Speaker 5>be like bipoo.

<v Speaker 3>I still wouldn't go home.

<v Speaker 4>I drive around like crazy.

<v Speaker 3>You go to your nearest police station.

<v Speaker 5>Her work. Yeah, she's still super on edge. And when

<v Speaker 5>she gets to her floor, she does a full scan

<v Speaker 5>of the hall and then turns and runs face first

<v Speaker 5>into someone. She grabs her gun and instantly clocks it.

<v Speaker 5>He has his hands in the air and he's like, hey,

<v Speaker 5>thank you, I'm your neighbor. Please don't shoot me. Then

<v Speaker 5>she apologizes and takes in the man in front of her.

<v Speaker 4>His red hair curls over his forehead boyishly and tapers

<v Speaker 4>down the back of his neck. Rugue strands fall into

<v Speaker 4>his eyes, and I resist the urge to swipe them away.

<v Speaker 4>An adorable pair of glasses rest on his nose and

<v Speaker 4>act like a window into his oddly vivid green eyes.

<v Speaker 4>He's dressed in an outfit very similar to mine, a

<v Speaker 4>sweater and pants, and all black. A thin silver chain

<v Speaker 4>peeks out from the.

<v Speaker 5>Collar of his sweater. He sounds cute. He sounds so cute. Yes,

<v Speaker 5>he has a pizza in his hands and asks her

<v Speaker 5>if she wants to eat with them, and she's like, uh, no,

<v Speaker 5>stranger danger. He apologizes for coming off strong and tells

<v Speaker 5>her that he just moved in and knows no one.

<v Speaker 5>She thinks on it and decides she has had a

<v Speaker 5>shit week and did just pull a gun on the man,

<v Speaker 5>so she agrees to pizza. He introduces himself as Xavier,

<v Speaker 5>but his friends can call him Save, and when they

<v Speaker 5>shake hands there's an instant spark between them. Inside his apartment,

<v Speaker 5>he goes to take a sweater off, and of course

<v Speaker 5>the shirt rides up and he's jacked.

<v Speaker 4>His T shirt rides up, revealing smooth alabaster skin, divits

<v Speaker 4>of muscle showcase. His most likely frequent gym visits. My

<v Speaker 4>cord clenches key goal. It's a little pussy squeeze. Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>They eat their pizza together and start to slowly get

<v Speaker 5>to know each other, and the next thing she knows,

<v Speaker 5>she's just straight up trauma, dumping all of her family

<v Speaker 5>issues to him. She's like yeah, and so that's how

<v Speaker 5>my dad has dementia.

<v Speaker 4>My mom left me.

<v Speaker 5>Xavier is loving this because he wants to know every

<v Speaker 5>possible detail about her, because he's obsessed with her. Xavier

<v Speaker 5>has a best friend and his name is Tom. He's

<v Speaker 5>oldest fuck and basically blind and death due to his age.

<v Speaker 5>They met sixty years ago and they've been best friends

<v Speaker 5>ever since. Due to Tom's aging and his poor sight,

<v Speaker 5>he doesn't realize that Xavier has not aged and has

<v Speaker 5>stayed the same, or if he has, he's never brought

<v Speaker 5>it up. He's telling Bessie Tom that he's straight up

<v Speaker 5>in love with Selene and that he would do anything

<v Speaker 5>for her, even have her babies. And he takes out

<v Speaker 5>this trusty little notebook that he carries around with them,

<v Speaker 5>and it's called goals in my long life with Selene,

<v Speaker 5>and then he writes down, breed Selene. It's raining and

<v Speaker 5>he gets back into his car and before he heads out,

<v Speaker 5>he pulls out his little notebook again and writes, make

<v Speaker 5>sure Selene always wears a seatbelt. Safety is hot. Yeah,

<v Speaker 5>it is. The more time that passes, the more he's

<v Speaker 5>absolutely sure Selene is his mate, and to have a

<v Speaker 5>human mate with a vampire is very rare. That's his girl,

<v Speaker 5>So supernaturals are a thing, and when heavy consistent rainfall happens,

<v Speaker 5>it's a sign of a large gathering of creatures in

<v Speaker 5>one area, and they've been having a lot of really

<v Speaker 5>heavy rainfall lately. Xavier will tell Selene what he is

<v Speaker 5>in the near future, because that's his girl, and he

<v Speaker 5>can change her whenever she's ready and they can live

<v Speaker 5>happily together forever. Once back home, he uses his vamp

<v Speaker 5>senses and confirms that no one is in Selene's apartment,

<v Speaker 5>and then does some cute breaking and entering. He makes

<v Speaker 5>fast friends with Midnight and sees that she has closed

<v Speaker 5>the need to be folded and put away, so he

<v Speaker 5>decided to do laundry for her and secretly pockets a

<v Speaker 5>pair of her Tony's. Wow, I'd love that. He ends

<v Speaker 5>up getting carried away and cleans the entire apartment for

<v Speaker 5>her a gentleman.

<v Speaker 1>Imagine coming home in your apartment's just like spotless if

<v Speaker 1>you want too, he would.

<v Speaker 5>Someone broke in, but like that's fine, yeah, yeah, yeah,

<v Speaker 5>it's clean, and be like, come over you want to

<v Speaker 5>keep He sees on her calendar on her fridge that

<v Speaker 5>she has written down she's supposed to go on a

<v Speaker 5>double date tomorrow, and Xavier is beside himself. He's straight

<v Speaker 5>up starts blaming the cat and he's like, midnight, how

<v Speaker 5>could you let this happen?

<v Speaker 4>The Cat's like now, ma'am y.

<v Speaker 5>When Selene gets home, she notices that her house is

<v Speaker 5>clean and her laundry's done, but she's like, no one's

<v Speaker 5>going to break in just to clean my house.

<v Speaker 4>I would be spiraling. I mean, yeah, I'd be grateful,

<v Speaker 4>but I'd be like.

<v Speaker 5>I have dementia. Selene met her date Asher, and they

<v Speaker 5>both met Ava and Spencer at the bowling Alley for

<v Speaker 5>their double date. When they go to grab their shoes,

<v Speaker 5>she has a very familiar voice and guess who's working

<v Speaker 5>at the bowling alley? Xavier. He answer her shoes before

<v Speaker 5>she even tells him what size she is, and she's like,

<v Speaker 5>straight up giving him major side eye. He sabotages ashes

<v Speaker 5>first round by seizing loudly and throwing off his bowl,

<v Speaker 5>and throughout the date she can feel his eyes on her.

<v Speaker 5>Asher leaves for the bathroom and Ava asks how it's going.

<v Speaker 5>She tells her friend he's nice, but there's just no

<v Speaker 5>spark between them, and then instantly thinks about Xavior. Just

<v Speaker 5>when she was thinking about where Asher was, she feels

<v Speaker 5>a tap on her shoulder. Xavior hands her a note

<v Speaker 5>saying Asher gave this to him to give to her

<v Speaker 5>before he ran out, And it's basically a note saying

<v Speaker 5>that he had a family emergency and that he had

<v Speaker 5>to go. He's dead, isn't he? He had a family emergency, but.

<v Speaker 3>One of his family members is there, so I know

<v Speaker 3>it's Spencer's cousin, So like, Spencer's there, why wouldn't Spencer also.

<v Speaker 2>Go, Yeah, it's on his mom's side, Uncle Jerry's dead.

<v Speaker 5>Since her and Asher wrote together, Zabor offers to take

<v Speaker 5>her home since his shit coincidentally just ended. Bestie avas

<v Speaker 5>like excuse me what, and he's like, yeah, I'm her

<v Speaker 5>new neighbor, and she's gagged with her best friend left

<v Speaker 5>out the important fact that she's a smoking hot new neighbor.

<v Speaker 5>As they were driving home, Sleim brushed an eyelash off

<v Speaker 5>of Xavier's cheek while he was driving, and this was

<v Speaker 5>like their first skin to skin contact and he's literally

<v Speaker 5>like about to gig in his pants while driving.

<v Speaker 4>Oh, he's gonna cream.

<v Speaker 5>He's so horned up that his fangs come out, and

<v Speaker 5>Sleen's like, uh, are you okay? And he's like h

<v Speaker 5>like trying to hide his mouth. And I just pictured

<v Speaker 5>Edward Cohen in Twilight, like in the science scene when

<v Speaker 5>he's just like holding his nose. Yeah, he calls him

<v Speaker 5>his fang boner. Yeah, Oh my god, do I need

<v Speaker 5>to drive? Do you want to stop?

<v Speaker 4>The concern in her voice amplifies and I curse myself

<v Speaker 4>for worrying her. Wait, she's worried about me. If I

<v Speaker 4>could blush, I most certainly would be. My sweet girl's

<v Speaker 4>worried about me, when all that's wrong is me wanting

<v Speaker 4>to take her to Poundtown and mark her is mine?

<v Speaker 4>Take her to Poundtown.

<v Speaker 5>When they get to the parking garage, a savior ends

<v Speaker 5>up dropping her off at the elevator because even though

<v Speaker 5>he doesn't have to feed often due to his age,

<v Speaker 5>all the last blood that he had just went straight

<v Speaker 5>to his vampire dick, so he's got to go pick

<v Speaker 5>up some blood asap. And guess who his blood supplier

<v Speaker 5>is but Rista Luna, who's also a vampire.

<v Speaker 2>Ah Luna.

<v Speaker 5>She runs a coffee shop by day in a blood

<v Speaker 5>bar by night. Oh cool making that money? Yeah girlwn hustle,

<v Speaker 5>A hustler. Selene goes to visit her dad, as she

<v Speaker 5>always goes at least once a month, and things were

<v Speaker 5>as good as they could be until he got irate

<v Speaker 5>and yelled at her for taking his cat and that

<v Speaker 5>she took away his best friend. She leaves right after,

<v Speaker 5>super duper defeated and heartbroken and his zombie like until

<v Speaker 5>she sees her apartment and before she can make it in,

<v Speaker 5>she just has a full blown mint to be like,

<v Speaker 5>sliding down the walls, hugging her knees and rocking herself.

<v Speaker 5>Been there. She hears a door open and closed and

<v Speaker 5>looks up to see Xavier looking at her with empathy.

<v Speaker 5>He opens his arms to her in a silent invitation,

<v Speaker 5>and she wastes no time throwing herself into him as

<v Speaker 5>he lets her grieve in his arms. Selene can't help

<v Speaker 5>but think maybe he needs his comfort just as much

<v Speaker 5>as she does. Bessie Eva comes over to help console

<v Speaker 5>her after the emotional day, and when Ava asks why

<v Speaker 5>she doesn't gone a date with Xavier, they hear several

<v Speaker 5>loud bangs coming from his room, next door. Selene instantly

<v Speaker 5>rushes over and he cracks the door open, and she's like,

<v Speaker 5>are you okay? Like we heard some bangs, and he

<v Speaker 5>opens the door and she sees that his face is bleeding,

<v Speaker 5>so she rushes inside and gets a wet washcloth and

<v Speaker 5>starts taking care of him. They have a cute intimate

<v Speaker 5>moment and she steps further into him and he wraps

<v Speaker 5>his hands around the back of her thighs. But bestie

<v Speaker 5>Ava ruins the moment and she's like, yeah, my girl

<v Speaker 5>wants you to take her out on a date, and

<v Speaker 5>before Selene could say anything else, he says he would

<v Speaker 5>love to. When she asked what happened, he got Hella

<v Speaker 5>quiet and shy and he was like, I fell off

<v Speaker 5>my chair and hit my hand. How embarrassing. Ava tells

<v Speaker 5>Zave she's glad he's okay, and he tells Selene, if

<v Speaker 5>you're a bestie, can call me Xave. Why do you

<v Speaker 5>call me Xavier? She tells him she hardly knows him,

<v Speaker 5>and he tells her his last name is Lockwood and

<v Speaker 5>she better remember it because it's gonna be hers someday,

<v Speaker 5>and then he tells her he'll pick her up Saturday

<v Speaker 5>for their date.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 5>Xavier goes to bestie Tom for date advice and he

<v Speaker 5>wants everything to be perfect. Tom suggests the peer and

<v Speaker 5>dinner in a movie, but not to worry too much,

<v Speaker 5>because showing that he put thought and effort into it

<v Speaker 5>will be enough for her. He starts coughing, and Xavier

<v Speaker 5>is truly sad that Tom is aging because that's his

<v Speaker 5>best friend and one of the sweetest souls he ever met.

<v Speaker 5>It's funny because Tom calls him Zach instead of zav.

<v Speaker 5>They've been friends for sixty years. They like bond over

<v Speaker 5>chess game, so every time he goes to see him,

<v Speaker 5>they always play chess together. I love that. That is

<v Speaker 5>so cute.

<v Speaker 1>The next day, at work, a beautiful woman named Genevieve

<v Speaker 1>comes in saying she needs to speak to a detective,

<v Speaker 1>so Selene sits her down. Genevieve and her friend Katie

<v Speaker 1>were at VEX the other night and they left separately,

<v Speaker 1>but Genevieve hasn't heard from Katie since she's a mess

<v Speaker 1>and asks Selene if she can get her friend back,

<v Speaker 1>and Selene says she'll do everything she can, but she

<v Speaker 1>shook that the girl's missing from vex because remember, she

<v Speaker 1>thinks that there is a human trafficking front going on

<v Speaker 1>over there. Hmm, and this girl is in turmoil. She's like,

<v Speaker 1>snot running down her face, mascara smeared.

<v Speaker 5>She's like, fine, my friend, I would be too. Girl.

<v Speaker 1>Selene heads over to investigate the surrounding businesses and stops

<v Speaker 1>into a neighboring pottery shop, but she's shocked to see

<v Speaker 1>that none other than Xavier is leading one of the

<v Speaker 1>pottery classes.

<v Speaker 4>Oh of course, he's everywhere.

<v Speaker 1>She demands to know what he's doing here, and he

<v Speaker 1>says he works here, he started today, and she's like,

<v Speaker 1>do you work everywhere?

<v Speaker 5>And he says, something's got to pay the bills.

<v Speaker 1>The man's not wrong, he just worked at the bowling

<v Speaker 1>alley like two days ago. He's like, since you're here,

<v Speaker 1>let's get dinner, and she's hesitant but says fine. After

<v Speaker 1>she goes home and changes, she accidentally slips and calls

<v Speaker 1>him zav, which makes him giggle like a schoolgirl. So

<v Speaker 1>she huffs and storms out, super confused about this weird

<v Speaker 1>ass dude.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah he is kind of weird. He's hello weird.

<v Speaker 1>He beats her back to her apartment to get a

<v Speaker 1>pep talk from midnight and sneaks back into his own place.

<v Speaker 1>When he hears the elevator door coming up, he just

<v Speaker 1>vampire speed runs through the city just to go see

<v Speaker 1>the cat real quick. He gives her a few minutes

<v Speaker 1>to get ready and then he heads over to pick

<v Speaker 1>her up. When she opens the door, she's looking hot

<v Speaker 1>as heck, and Zav is speechless. They get into his

<v Speaker 1>car and when he sends her arousal, he gets both

<v Speaker 1>a fang boner and a regular boner.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, all the boners.

<v Speaker 1>He has to think about puppies and pineapples. Just to

<v Speaker 1>get himself under controls. They drive to Willis Tower that

<v Speaker 1>he had completely rented out for their date tonight. He

<v Speaker 1>has the whole deck lit with candles and decorated with

<v Speaker 1>rose petals and a picnic basket sat in the middle,

<v Speaker 1>And of course she asks him how the hell he

<v Speaker 1>can afford all of this. Yeah, he was just running

<v Speaker 1>a pottery shop. He works at the bowling Alley.

<v Speaker 5>He can't be making much.

<v Speaker 1>He tells her that he has family money and he

<v Speaker 1>just works random jobs to keep busy. Slen starts to

<v Speaker 1>dig into the food while Zav pours them champagne and

<v Speaker 1>it's so delicious. She lets out a moan and asks

<v Speaker 1>if he cooked all of this, and of course he did.

<v Speaker 1>He says he spent lots of time refining his cooking skills.

<v Speaker 1>They start getting to know each other, and eventually zav

<v Speaker 1>just starts repeating all of her answers to his question,

<v Speaker 1>saying that his favorite season is also full, his least

<v Speaker 1>favorite food is also pickles.

<v Speaker 5>His favorite book is also Fifty Shades of Gray. Oh yeah,

<v Speaker 5>he says, what you like?

<v Speaker 1>I like, babye. She calls him out and he's like,

<v Speaker 1>you don't even know if I'm lying. Maybe I really

<v Speaker 1>like to get in the bedroom. She tells him to

<v Speaker 1>tell her something real now, and he tells her his

<v Speaker 1>parents died and he never got to say goodbye. Now

<v Speaker 1>they're holding hands, and she thanks him for sharing that

<v Speaker 1>with her and confesses she's scared that she's doomed to

<v Speaker 1>be a perpetual people pleaser and she doesn't even know

<v Speaker 1>if her job is what she really wants to be

<v Speaker 1>doing with her life. It starts to get too intense

<v Speaker 1>between the two of them, so Selene asks if they

<v Speaker 1>can step out and watch the thunderstorm going on outside.

<v Speaker 1>They sit down together and Zav is shocked when Selene

<v Speaker 1>rests her head on his shoulder, and he thanks her

<v Speaker 1>for coming out with him tonight, despite how strong he

<v Speaker 1>can come on. She looks at him and sweeps a

<v Speaker 1>lock of hair out of his face and then leans

<v Speaker 1>in for a kiss. It quickly turns into a makeout

<v Speaker 1>with dry humping, and then she feels a prick at

<v Speaker 1>her lip and Zav is licking her blood.

<v Speaker 4>With another quick swipe of his tongue. I'm consumed by pleasure.

<v Speaker 4>My fingers run through his silky crimson strands, and I

<v Speaker 4>pull on the silver chain around his neck just enough

<v Speaker 4>for a bite of pain to leave him whimpering under me,

<v Speaker 4>asking for more. I love that sound. A man who

<v Speaker 4>whimpers and moans for his woman is such a turn.

<v Speaker 4>While I love to be dominated, sometimes I also love

<v Speaker 4>to do the dominating. My sexual history isn't extensive by

<v Speaker 4>any means, but enough for me to know a few

<v Speaker 4>of my kinks.

<v Speaker 5>All right, miss girl.

<v Speaker 1>He starts to kiss on her neck, and then he

<v Speaker 1>gives her a big fat hickey, saying that he's marked

<v Speaker 1>her now. He flips her onto her back and gets

<v Speaker 1>on top of her and tells her she's splay out

<v Speaker 1>beneath him, just in time for dessert.

<v Speaker 4>I'm hard as a fucking rock. I'm talking, dick, absolutely weeping,

<v Speaker 4>steal rod in my pants, borderline moaning mess, the whole

<v Speaker 4>nine yards. All it took was Selene's body laid out

<v Speaker 4>in front of me, and now I'm having a hard

<v Speaker 4>time keeping my vampire instincts under lock. My stupid fang

<v Speaker 4>boner already popped with the initial excitement of our kiss.

<v Speaker 5>Dick absolutely weeping.

<v Speaker 4>I hate that visual.

<v Speaker 1>He reins it in and says he means actual dessert

<v Speaker 1>because when he officially makes her his, it'll be in

<v Speaker 1>a plush bed, not here. Besides, he made crem brulet.

<v Speaker 5>They eat it.

<v Speaker 1>She gets a phone call from Captain Barnes, who breaks

<v Speaker 1>the news to her that someone just broke into her apartment.

<v Speaker 1>They cut the date short and Zav drives her over there,

<v Speaker 1>where the Captain tells her all they have is a

<v Speaker 1>grainy photo of a mystery man. Her entire apartment is

<v Speaker 1>completely ransacked. Midnight is fine, but there's blood splattered all

<v Speaker 1>over her bathroom vanity. The detectives on the scene take

<v Speaker 1>a sample to bring back to the lab, and Zav

<v Speaker 1>tells her she can stay with him, and the captain

<v Speaker 1>tells her to take a few days off of work.

<v Speaker 1>Zav brings her next door and tells her she can

<v Speaker 1>have his bed and he'll take the couch. As Zav

<v Speaker 1>snuggles up to midnight, he tells the cat to get

<v Speaker 1>comfy because neither him or his owner will be leaving.

<v Speaker 1>And this cat absolutely fucking hates Selene and is just

<v Speaker 1>snuggle buglin' with Zav on the couch.

<v Speaker 5>She yehs Zav.

<v Speaker 4>The cat just knows there's something between them.

<v Speaker 1>The next morning, Selene heads over to her boxing class

<v Speaker 1>to get some frustration out, but one of the girls

<v Speaker 1>tells her there's a new teacher and he's hot as hell.

<v Speaker 5>It's Zav. Oh my god, he said, where you go?

<v Speaker 5>I go baby.

<v Speaker 1>After class, he drives her home home and hands her

<v Speaker 1>the phone, telling her to order some Mexican to be delivered,

<v Speaker 1>and she asks for his passcode and his past code

<v Speaker 1>is her birthday.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 1>She thinks it's a weird coincidence, and then Ava texts

<v Speaker 1>her reminding her she's coming over for a girl date,

<v Speaker 1>but Zav crashes the girl date and they all do

<v Speaker 1>face masks together.

<v Speaker 5>Oh cute.

<v Speaker 1>After Selene goes to bed, Zav has a state of

<v Speaker 1>the art security system installed so she'll be safe. The

<v Speaker 1>next day, they hang out together with crazy sexual tension,

<v Speaker 1>but nothing happens. After she falls asleep for the night,

<v Speaker 1>Zav gets a text from Death's assistant telling him that

<v Speaker 1>he has a new target. So Zav sneaks out, knowing

<v Speaker 1>his Pooky's safe because of his security system.

<v Speaker 4>What a man.

<v Speaker 1>He heads over to a hotel owned secretly by a

<v Speaker 1>group of supernaturals, where his contact handsome a folder with

<v Speaker 1>all the info on his target. His next stop is

<v Speaker 1>a dilapidated building where Frank Denvers is hiding. This man

<v Speaker 1>is a piece of shit murderer, and Zav can already

<v Speaker 1>smell a fresh body. Zav sneaks up on Frank and

<v Speaker 1>tells him he's a dead man for killing all those women.

<v Speaker 1>Frank is freaking the fuck out, and Zav tells him

<v Speaker 1>they're playing hide and seek, so we'd better run. And

<v Speaker 1>while Frank is booking it trying to get away, Zav

<v Speaker 1>pulls out his phone and just starts playing around of sudoku,

<v Speaker 1>and as soon as the game's over, he finds Frank

<v Speaker 1>hiding in a dumpster in a nearby alley. He drags

<v Speaker 1>Frank back to the house and tortures him until he dies,

<v Speaker 1>and then leaves the body with his classic signature for

<v Speaker 1>the cops to find. He heads back to the apartment

<v Speaker 1>to be with Celine, but is accosted by a feral

<v Speaker 1>vampire outside the front door of the building. They get

<v Speaker 1>into a brawl, and Zav takes it to a nearby

<v Speaker 1>alley to finish it off. But the only way to

<v Speaker 1>kill him is a stab through the heart. And I

<v Speaker 1>guess the longer you're a vampire, the smaller your heart gets.

<v Speaker 1>So since this one's pretty fresh, it's pretty easy to kill.

<v Speaker 1>But since Zav is super old, his heart is like

<v Speaker 1>basically non existent.

<v Speaker 5>Oh so he's hard to kill.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because he's got a tiny little heart but a

<v Speaker 1>big dick.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah me.

<v Speaker 1>The fight between the two of them is wild because

<v Speaker 1>feral vampires are strong and mindless. He manages to grab

<v Speaker 1>a street sign and he takes the vampire out just

<v Speaker 1>stabs him through the chest with a street sign. Hugh,

<v Speaker 1>But before the faral vampire finally dies, it swipes out

<v Speaker 1>at Zav's slashing his stomach with his venom, and now

<v Speaker 1>Zav has to skid daddle back home for his blood

<v Speaker 1>bag before he's paralyzed and unable to heal. He passes

<v Speaker 1>out just as he reaches his front door, and he's

<v Speaker 1>fading fast.

<v Speaker 4>Selene, my mate, this can't be the end. She doesn't

<v Speaker 4>know how big of a dick I have yet, I'm

<v Speaker 4>going to die and.

<v Speaker 5>She doesn't even know. This is the worst. Yeah, it's terrible.

<v Speaker 1>Selene hears the thud and comes running to investigate. She

<v Speaker 1>finds Zav passed out and he simply moans that he

<v Speaker 1>needs blood, and she's like, I'm sorry what. She sees

<v Speaker 1>that he's hella fucked up and she's freaking out. She

<v Speaker 1>says she's calling an ambulance, but he says, no, I

<v Speaker 1>need blood, and he gives her the pass code to

<v Speaker 1>a safe that holds his emergency blood bags. She's confused

<v Speaker 1>but does what he says, and when she gets back,

<v Speaker 1>she's like, I'm not a nurse. I can't do a transfusion,

<v Speaker 1>but he's like, no, I need to drink it.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 1>She hands him the bag and he slams it and

<v Speaker 1>she watches in shock as his wounds start to stitch closed.

<v Speaker 5>She tells herself that surely.

<v Speaker 1>This is a dream, but when she wakes up in

<v Speaker 1>the morning, she realizes it was very, very real. Zav

<v Speaker 1>begs her to go to Luna and get more blood

<v Speaker 1>for him. He's still hurting really really badly, and she's like,

<v Speaker 1>you need to explain what the fuck is going on,

<v Speaker 1>and he says he'll tell her everything. After she gets

<v Speaker 1>in the blood. Selene goes to the bean Hive, which

<v Speaker 1>is the name of the coffee shop which she now

<v Speaker 1>knows also sells blood, which blows her mind, and she

<v Speaker 1>tells Luna what's going on. She can tell that Luna

<v Speaker 1>knows exactly what is happening and demands answers, but Luna

<v Speaker 1>refuses to tell her until Zav.

<v Speaker 5>Does I think she's like a pretty good homie. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Selena is thinking this is some weird blood drinking colt,

<v Speaker 1>but Luna hands her the blood bags and tells her

<v Speaker 1>to hear Zav out because he's absolutely crazy about her.

<v Speaker 1>She takes the blood back to the apartment and yells

<v Speaker 1>for Zav, saying he'd better not be fucking dead because

<v Speaker 1>she still has to interrogate him on what the fuck

<v Speaker 1>is going on.

<v Speaker 4>I haven't gotten to go down on you yet. How

<v Speaker 4>could I pass away? He questions, and I marvel at

<v Speaker 4>his ability to be flirty even in the.

<v Speaker 5>State he's in. Now, I want a gentleman, He's like,

<v Speaker 5>I can't die. I haven't eaten your puss yet.

<v Speaker 1>She throws the blood at him and he drinks it

<v Speaker 1>hungrily as the color returns to his skin, and then

<v Speaker 1>he's like, okay, I'm a vampires bras.

<v Speaker 5>She thinks he's.

<v Speaker 1>Joking, but then she considers everything she's seen and she's like, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>maybe this is a real possibility.

<v Speaker 5>You think you could believe him if I saw like

<v Speaker 5>the wounds with my own eyes stick.

<v Speaker 2>Back together and feel like hell yeah, yeah, I'd be

<v Speaker 2>like holy for bella swan.

<v Speaker 1>She asks him to prove it, so he gets up

<v Speaker 1>and walks to her, but she's afraid, so she backs away.

<v Speaker 1>He gets really sad and begs her not to do that,

<v Speaker 1>and then he lets his fangs out. She's mesmerized and

<v Speaker 1>thinks he looks even more beautiful with them. She asks

<v Speaker 1>if he's going to hurt her, but he says no,

<v Speaker 1>he'd never hurt her. He'd rather die. She says, if

<v Speaker 1>he really needed blood, then he should have just drink

<v Speaker 1>from her. Since he's a vampire and all.

<v Speaker 4>I couldn't especially right then if I drink from you,

<v Speaker 4>it wouldn't end any other way than with my cock

<v Speaker 4>inside your pussy. His filthy words send a flush of

<v Speaker 4>heat through my chest. Like I said before, you deserve

<v Speaker 4>more than that. I also refuse to take you to

<v Speaker 4>bed and fully claim what's mine until you've accepted what

<v Speaker 4>I am and you're okay with it.

<v Speaker 5>I know right now you aren't.

<v Speaker 4>Snaps snaps for the gentleman.

<v Speaker 1>Then she cracks a joke and asks if he deposits

<v Speaker 1>his checks at the blood bank. He laughs, and this

<v Speaker 1>breaks the ice, so he tells her everything. He's three

<v Speaker 1>hundred years old and was turned in seventeen twenty five

<v Speaker 1>when he was twenty six years old. Vampires were actually

<v Speaker 1>created by medical testing gone wrong, but the memory of

<v Speaker 1>being a test subject is very painful for him. She

<v Speaker 1>pulls him close and tells him he's okay. She's got him.

<v Speaker 1>Then they get to work on cleaning up the apartment.

<v Speaker 1>As they're scrubbing the blood off the floors, Selene gets

<v Speaker 1>a text from Ava that the serial killer left another

<v Speaker 1>victim for them, and Zav is like, perfect, today is

<v Speaker 1>bring your spouse to work day, so let's go. Little

<v Speaker 1>does she know, she says fine, but he has to

<v Speaker 1>stay in the car. On the elevator ride down to

<v Speaker 1>the lobby, they have a sexy almost moment where he

<v Speaker 1>cages her with his fangs out, but despite her arousal,

<v Speaker 1>she pushes him off. They head to the crime scene,

<v Speaker 1>even though Selena is supposed to be taking time off,

<v Speaker 1>and the captain tells her that regarding her apartment break in,

<v Speaker 1>he found some CCTV footage of the purp leaving Vex

<v Speaker 1>the nightclub that she's so suspicious of. Oh, and then

<v Speaker 1>she gets the rundown on the murder victim at the scene,

<v Speaker 1>Frank Denver's, but this time, instead of the body being

<v Speaker 1>staged as a smiley face, it's staged.

<v Speaker 5>As a heart who he's in love.

<v Speaker 1>She discusses the change in the mo with the captain

<v Speaker 1>and he's like, well, maybe the murderer got a girlfriend.

<v Speaker 1>And now Selene's like shit, like it couldn't be, but like,

<v Speaker 1>is it?

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god?

<v Speaker 1>The captain tells her there's not really anything else for

<v Speaker 1>her to do here, so go ahead and continue with

<v Speaker 1>her time off. She gets back into her car, where

<v Speaker 1>Zav tells her there's somewhere he wants to take them.

<v Speaker 1>Before they head home, he brings her to meet.

<v Speaker 5>Tom, cute bestie Tom.

<v Speaker 1>She immediately loves Tom and has a new soft spot

<v Speaker 1>for Zav after seeing their special friendship. Tom tells her

<v Speaker 1>about his late wife and how much he loved her

<v Speaker 1>and how life is too short to not be with

<v Speaker 1>the person you love. Also, he keeps calling her Fran

<v Speaker 1>scene Yeah Tom. When it's time to leave, Zav knows

<v Speaker 1>he needs to tell Selene that they're mates because he

<v Speaker 1>wants to get started on forever with her. A few

<v Speaker 1>days later, Selene heads back to work early to investigate

<v Speaker 1>the vex's case, and she finds Ava crying in the

<v Speaker 1>bathroom about her boyfriend Spencer getting a new job in

<v Speaker 1>California and she just can't leave Chicago. Selene comforts her,

<v Speaker 1>and then Ava demands to know the dates on what's

<v Speaker 1>going on after her date with Zav. She doesn't want

<v Speaker 1>to spill everything, so she's like, we've only kissed and

<v Speaker 1>that's it, and then they.

<v Speaker 5>Head back to work.

<v Speaker 1>They head to their normal lunch spot on their break

<v Speaker 1>and guess who their waiter is.

<v Speaker 5>DNA, it's Zav.

<v Speaker 1>He tells her he just missed his pumpkin too much

<v Speaker 1>and he picked up another job, and Ava is absolutely

<v Speaker 1>tickled by this.

<v Speaker 5>He thinks it's hilarious. I would love that just everywhere

<v Speaker 5>you go your boyfriend works there. Yeah, I'd be like,

<v Speaker 5>oh my god, hey baby.

<v Speaker 1>Ava gets a call from Spencer that she has to take,

<v Speaker 1>so she excuses herself, and of course Zav takes her

<v Speaker 1>seat and just wants to let her know that he

<v Speaker 1>really loves having her at his place and he doesn't

<v Speaker 1>want her feeling like she ever has to move out.

<v Speaker 1>She's a light in his life and she comes in

<v Speaker 1>second place.

<v Speaker 5>Right after midnight. He loves the cat.

<v Speaker 1>Then he pays their bill and gets back to work.

<v Speaker 1>Back at the precinct, Selene speaks to the head of

<v Speaker 1>the VEX case and it's someone named Detective Waters. A

<v Speaker 1>girl was found murdered today and while there are no

<v Speaker 1>explicit ties to VEX, she's pretty sure it's connected. An

<v Speaker 1>anonymous caller tipped them off on where to find the body,

<v Speaker 1>and they realize it's the missing girl that that Genevieve

<v Speaker 1>girl came in reporting as a missing person Katie Oh.

<v Speaker 1>She gets home and slumps on the couch and Zav

<v Speaker 1>says to tell Daddy what's going on. She tells him

<v Speaker 1>she just doesn't know what kind of detective she is

<v Speaker 1>if she can't solve this. Vex's case holds her while

<v Speaker 1>they sit together, and then she starts to feel the

<v Speaker 1>sparks of a rousal between them. They start kissing, which

<v Speaker 1>leads to making out and then some boob grabbing, and

<v Speaker 1>soon her shirt is on the floor. He asks what

<v Speaker 1>she wants, and she says she wants him to bite her.

<v Speaker 1>He hesitates, and she's like it won't turn me right,

<v Speaker 1>and he's like no, but and she.

<v Speaker 5>Says, just do it.

<v Speaker 1>He decides he must tell her and confesses to her

<v Speaker 1>that they're mates, and she's like, okay, what the fuck

<v Speaker 1>does that even mean? And he says, their souls call

<v Speaker 1>to each other. It's the purest form of love you

<v Speaker 1>can have. Now, she's upset because she thinks this all

<v Speaker 1>must be fake and he's only doing this because they're

<v Speaker 1>destined to be together, but he assures her that this

<v Speaker 1>couldn't be further from the truth. He likes her for

<v Speaker 1>her and he knows she feels it too. He says

<v Speaker 1>he will bite her one day because he's heard that

<v Speaker 1>mate's blood is quite the afrodisiac.

<v Speaker 4>Imagine both my teeth and my cock holding you captive.

<v Speaker 4>She hums at the promise. In my words, it'll be

<v Speaker 4>worth the wait.

<v Speaker 1>He tells her he wants her to be one hundred

<v Speaker 1>percent on board before he bites her, and she nods.

<v Speaker 1>Then he gives her a gift he made for her,

<v Speaker 1>a knife for protection and the handles engraved with butterflies,

<v Speaker 1>and she loves it.

<v Speaker 5>That's so cute.

<v Speaker 3>The next day, when Selene, Ava, and Zav are all

<v Speaker 3>hanging out, Selene tells them that they need to go

<v Speaker 3>back to the club because she has the strongest gut

<v Speaker 3>feeling about it. That night rolls around, and once they're there,

<v Speaker 3>they have Ava scope out the bar and listen while

<v Speaker 3>her and Zav hit the dance floor to do some

<v Speaker 3>recon but also play the part of club attendees, which

<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you guys need a grind to do that,

<v Speaker 3>but oh no, they have to grind.

<v Speaker 1>Oh no, not that.

<v Speaker 3>As they dance, he flips her so her back is

<v Speaker 3>to his front, and it feels very familiar to the

<v Speaker 3>first time she went to the club. She tries to

<v Speaker 3>confront him about being the mystery man the last time

<v Speaker 3>she was here, but he does not confirm or to knife.

<v Speaker 3>They dance some more, but nothing stands out, so they

<v Speaker 3>find a table. Ava meets them there, but Selene tells

<v Speaker 3>them she has to run to the restroom, and as

<v Speaker 3>she's finishing up washing her hands, she hears voices from

<v Speaker 3>the vent, and one is very familiar. One of the

<v Speaker 3>voices belongs to Genevieve. My Genevieve is.

<v Speaker 5>In that room talking to someone.

<v Speaker 2>Bitch, but she was so sad about Katie that lying.

<v Speaker 3>Selene tries to act normal and heads back to the table,

<v Speaker 3>but Zav immediately can tell that something's wrong. Eva goes

<v Speaker 3>to get the one last drink for the night, but

<v Speaker 3>Selene needs to distract herself. She runs a hand up

<v Speaker 3>Zav's thigh to his crotch.

<v Speaker 4>He doesn't pull it away, though, and steady holds it

<v Speaker 4>prisoner resting against his hardening cock. A streak of boldness

<v Speaker 4>has me squeezing him, and I bulk at the girth

<v Speaker 4>I feel against my hand. He's huge, His hole doesn't

<v Speaker 4>allow me much room, but I stroke him as much

<v Speaker 4>as I can within his confines. A whimper so low

<v Speaker 4>I almost miss it comes out of his throat a

<v Speaker 4>little winp.

<v Speaker 2>He goes, eh, thank you for that.

<v Speaker 4>She needs a distraction, so she's like, give it that dick.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean yeah, it's working.

<v Speaker 3>She is so turned on and starts to give him

<v Speaker 3>a hidden booth handy sligh.

<v Speaker 2>We've all been there, we have.

<v Speaker 3>Selene tells him that he better finished before Ava comes

<v Speaker 3>back with their drinks.

<v Speaker 4>If you think getting caught by Ava is a motivator

<v Speaker 4>for me to hurry up, you're sorely mistaken. But I

<v Speaker 4>know it makes you panic, So I'll be a good

<v Speaker 4>boy and come. Both our hands work him, squeezing and rubbing,

<v Speaker 4>up and down, twisting.

<v Speaker 5>When we near the head, it's.

<v Speaker 4>Like the rapid beat of my heart is timed up

<v Speaker 4>to the taking clock of Ava's footsteps as she grows closer.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my gosh, the drama.

<v Speaker 2>Ava's just walking up to the table, and she's like.

<v Speaker 3>He comes on both her hands and then tucks his

<v Speaker 3>dick away. As Ava drops the drinks at the table,

<v Speaker 3>he excuses himself to the restroom. Ava looks at Selene

<v Speaker 3>with a knowing eye and passes her hand sanitizer.

<v Speaker 5>My girl gits your handstank.

<v Speaker 3>The next morning, the captain tells her that they got

<v Speaker 3>the guy who broke into her apartment. So they change

<v Speaker 3>and down to the station because of course he's gonna

<v Speaker 3>go with her.

<v Speaker 2>They're like, you don't even work here, No, not yet,

<v Speaker 2>I'll apply. Here's my application, here's the resume, literally, everything's

<v Speaker 2>on it.

<v Speaker 5>Let me into that academy. She gets to the interrogation.

<v Speaker 3>Room and Zav has to stay on the outside of

<v Speaker 3>the door, and she notices that the guy does not

<v Speaker 3>look like a criminal whatsoever. As she interrogates him, he

<v Speaker 3>is genuinely confused as to why he's there because he's

<v Speaker 3>never committed a crime before. Zab interrupts the interrogation by

<v Speaker 3>knocking on the door and pulls her aside, saying that

<v Speaker 3>he's telling the truth. His heart rate isn't elevated like

<v Speaker 3>someone who's lying, so the kid has been compelled to

<v Speaker 3>do the break in and compelled to forget about it vampires.

<v Speaker 3>She ultimately lets him go and knows that Zab must

<v Speaker 3>be right because she has a gut feeling that he

<v Speaker 3>really didn't do it intentionally, but she's not sure why

<v Speaker 3>Supernatural would be targeting her since she just found out

<v Speaker 3>they even exist. The kid leaves she finned she's the paperwork,

<v Speaker 3>and they step outside of the building, but Zab quickly

<v Speaker 3>scoops her up and panics and runs. He goes down

<v Speaker 3>a street into an alleyway, and there's the kid she

<v Speaker 3>just interrogated dead on the sidewalk. Made The next day,

<v Speaker 3>she tells zav she wants to move back into her

<v Speaker 3>apartment since unfortunately the perpetrator was found, but he's nervous

<v Speaker 3>since she's clearly a target. So even though, yeah, that

<v Speaker 3>guy was found, who's to say someone else isn't gonna

<v Speaker 3>go in there and hurt her?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>Literally.

<v Speaker 5>She explains that she just.

<v Speaker 3>Wants her own space again, and he's clearly hurt but

<v Speaker 3>helps her move her stuff back. It's her first night

<v Speaker 3>back and she misses him. She gets up when she

<v Speaker 3>can't sleep with the intention to go back over to

<v Speaker 3>his apartment, but when she opens the door, both him

<v Speaker 3>and Midnight fall into her apartment.

<v Speaker 5>Oh cute.

<v Speaker 3>He kisses her and it quickly turns hot and heavy

<v Speaker 3>before he breaks the kissing, asking if she wants She does,

<v Speaker 3>and he asks if she touched herself earlier thinking about him.

<v Speaker 3>She tries to lie and say.

<v Speaker 5>No, liar.

<v Speaker 4>He immediately calls me out.

<v Speaker 5>I could hear you.

<v Speaker 4>His lips trailed down my neck, and I gasp when

<v Speaker 4>his fans graze against the spot where my pulse beats steadily.

<v Speaker 4>Smell you. He inhales that spot of my neck and

<v Speaker 4>I shiver. And now I'm going to taste you. I'm

<v Speaker 4>gonna see.

<v Speaker 3>He lays her on the bed and hovers over her,

<v Speaker 3>taking his shirt off before removing her sleep shorts. She's

<v Speaker 3>got no chony's on underneath.

<v Speaker 5>Oh wow, I'm so fucking hungry. Baby, you have no idea.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, sorry that was aggressive.

<v Speaker 1>Wow.

<v Speaker 5>He drops to his knees at the end of the bed.

<v Speaker 5>Been dreaming of this pussy.

<v Speaker 4>For so long. So pink, so fucking wet, just for me.

<v Speaker 4>The words are a lisp around his things. So pink,

<v Speaker 4>so fucking wet.

<v Speaker 3>She's nervous about the fangs, but he says that he'll

<v Speaker 3>be careful. He then eats her out until she comes,

<v Speaker 3>but he's not done yet. He starts to finger her

<v Speaker 3>while kissing her, bringing her to another orgasm. Once she

<v Speaker 3>comes down from that second one, she pushes him to

<v Speaker 3>the side and asks if she can have a turn,

<v Speaker 3>while staring at his massive boner. She gives him a blowjob,

<v Speaker 3>but he only lasts minutes before he comes, and then

<v Speaker 3>he starts to pull her breasts out and runs his

<v Speaker 3>fangs along them. She grabs a condum, and after it's on,

<v Speaker 3>he stares at her.

<v Speaker 4>Is something wrong and graves my fingers over his jaw.

<v Speaker 4>He shakes his head. No, I just I know you're

<v Speaker 4>about to ruin me. He pushes inside me just an

<v Speaker 4>inch out of time, and I relish in this sensation. Fuck,

<v Speaker 4>he groans, lips pressing to my neck when he's all

<v Speaker 4>the way inside, Selene, This pussy is fucking divine, divine.

<v Speaker 5>This reminds me of Candy Crush.

<v Speaker 2>Divine.

<v Speaker 4>I never played Candy Crush.

<v Speaker 3>I've never played Candy Crush.

<v Speaker 2>Me neither a mo Monopoly go every day though, Bach.

<v Speaker 3>The sex is amazing, obviously, and they both fall asleep

<v Speaker 3>throughout the night. They have sex multiple times, and then

<v Speaker 3>first thing in the morning they also have sex. Once

<v Speaker 3>they finish, he makes her breakfast in.

<v Speaker 4>Bed, looking at Selene. I see her frozen in place,

<v Speaker 4>fourk held in the air but not touching the food.

<v Speaker 4>It's a comical freeze frame, with her jawn hinged and

<v Speaker 4>eyes wide and shock.

<v Speaker 1>What is this?

<v Speaker 5>Her tone is hard, which has me weary.

<v Speaker 4>Pancakes, I reply earnestly. I fucking know that this smiley face,

<v Speaker 4>I've seen it before. The cogs in her brain are spinning,

<v Speaker 4>and for a second I don't know what she's getting at.

<v Speaker 4>Then I understand, you stupid idiot, Oh.

<v Speaker 1>You do that?

<v Speaker 2>He just wanted to make her smiley face pancakes.

<v Speaker 3>He lets her know that he was gonna tell her

<v Speaker 3>eventually and explains it's only bad guys. It's too much

<v Speaker 3>for her. She tells him that she needs space. She's

<v Speaker 3>barely registered that her boyfriend is supernatural, also her mate,

<v Speaker 3>and now a serial killer. She says she isn't rejecting him,

<v Speaker 3>but she needs time to think about this.

<v Speaker 1>Fair.

<v Speaker 5>That is fair.

<v Speaker 3>That's a lot to take in in a week.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah it is.

<v Speaker 3>She changes her clothes and tells him not to follow,

<v Speaker 3>and then she leaves.

<v Speaker 1>And give me my cap back watch downstairs at the sidewalk.

<v Speaker 1>He's like running a newspaper stand now.

<v Speaker 3>On her walk, she runs into another vampire who is

<v Speaker 3>clearly intent to hurt her. She's able to slash him

<v Speaker 3>with the knife that Zav gave her and run, but

<v Speaker 3>is immediately intercepted by another one and then knocked out.

<v Speaker 3>Zav gives her minutes before he leaves to follow her.

<v Speaker 3>He wants to make sure she's okay, but he notices

<v Speaker 3>her scent trail becomes faint and he feels a jolted

<v Speaker 3>terror through their bond. He takes off running, but her

<v Speaker 3>scent trail stops and only her knife is on the sidewalk.

<v Speaker 3>He does pick up another sent though vampire blood, and

<v Speaker 3>he's furious. He calls Luna to put out a supernatural

<v Speaker 3>APB on Selene and tells her to report with any sightings.

<v Speaker 3>Sleen wakes to a cold, dark set, feeling like she

<v Speaker 3>got ran over. She knows Zav is going to find

<v Speaker 3>her though, since he is her stalker, and then that's

<v Speaker 3>when she notices she's not alone.

<v Speaker 5>Who's in there with you? Girl?

<v Speaker 3>She tests the bars of her cell when a voice

<v Speaker 3>says she should try to conserve her strength. A crusty,

<v Speaker 3>musty old man appears and he's seen better days. She

<v Speaker 3>wonders how long exactly he's been there. He introduces himself

<v Speaker 3>as Valin and tells her that he's sorry for what's

<v Speaker 3>about to happen to her. He also tells her he

<v Speaker 3>isn't sure why they chose her, but everyone else who's

<v Speaker 3>been in that cell doesn't last one night. Oh comforting, Yeah, thanks, Valin,

<v Speaker 3>that feels great.

<v Speaker 2>Great peptop, don't say that.

<v Speaker 3>Zab and his contacts are not having any luck locating

<v Speaker 3>Selene and he's becoming more panicked. He knows he needs

<v Speaker 3>to eat to keep his strength, so he heads back

<v Speaker 3>to the apartment. Once he arrives midnight, is acting strange

<v Speaker 3>and the lights he turned off are now back on.

<v Speaker 3>He doesn't eat here or smell anything, though, but when

<v Speaker 3>he walks through the kitchen, he's shocked to see her.

<v Speaker 3>Oh it's Genevieve, and she was hoping that he would

<v Speaker 3>be happy to see his ex booth thing. So she

<v Speaker 3>is his crazy ex girlfriend, Genevieve.

<v Speaker 2>So she a vampire she is, and she's a psycho.

<v Speaker 4>Well he's kind of psycho too.

<v Speaker 2>Imagine how crazy you'd have to be for zeb to

<v Speaker 2>have to be like, whoa back off you?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

<v Speaker 3>He tells her that he wants Selene back, and she

<v Speaker 3>tells him nope, but her and Selene have met and

<v Speaker 3>they're due for a chat, so she's got to go.

<v Speaker 3>As she goes to leave, he stops her, and as

<v Speaker 3>soon as he is about to hurt her, she tells

<v Speaker 3>him if she is hurt at all, his human will

<v Speaker 3>not last. With what's about to happen, Genevieve tells zav

<v Speaker 3>if he can give her what she wants, Selene won't

<v Speaker 3>get hurt, and Genevieve wants him back.

<v Speaker 4>No.

<v Speaker 3>Selene and Valen make small talk and she learns that

<v Speaker 3>he's also a vampire, but he doesn't and to how

<v Speaker 3>old he is. She tells them that he can feed

<v Speaker 3>from her to build his strength, because the only way

<v Speaker 3>they're getting out of here is with help from him,

<v Speaker 3>because obviously super vampire strength. But he's been down there

<v Speaker 3>forever and he hasn't fed in who knows how long,

<v Speaker 3>but he's appalled that she would even offer it. She

<v Speaker 3>tells them it might be their only chance, and he

<v Speaker 3>takes her wrists. He feeds and shows control by stopping

<v Speaker 3>after only a couple minutes, which apparently is like very

<v Speaker 3>difficult yeah. Selene has no idea how much time has

<v Speaker 3>passed down in that cell, but she's fed valin off

<v Speaker 3>and on, and they hear heals in a female voice approaching.

<v Speaker 3>It's Genevieve, and she lets Selene know that she is

<v Speaker 3>in this predicament because Selene has something that belongs to her.

<v Speaker 3>Selene thinks for a moment and realizes Genevieve is talking

<v Speaker 3>about Zav. Genevieve says that Zav is hers, and once

<v Speaker 3>Zav realizes that, then Selene is free to go, and

<v Speaker 3>then she leaves them in the dark. It's been one

<v Speaker 3>week since Selene has been kidnapped by his crazy ex,

<v Speaker 3>and Zav has seen Genevieve for fifty years, but he

<v Speaker 3>guesses that she's been keeping tabs on him if she

<v Speaker 3>knew that he was dating Selene.

<v Speaker 5>Crazy bitch.

<v Speaker 3>Zab sits in the apartment pondering what his next move

<v Speaker 3>is when Ava starts pounding on the door, demanding to

<v Speaker 3>know why Selene has been ignoring her because he falsified

<v Speaker 3>an email and sent it to work and was like,

<v Speaker 3>I'm sick. So a whole week has gone by no

<v Speaker 3>one's checked on her from work teeth this he finally

<v Speaker 3>lets Ava in and tells her what happened. He then

<v Speaker 3>has to explain how he's a vampire because she started

<v Speaker 3>rambling that she's about to be on a dateline episode

<v Speaker 3>Selene must be murdered and tied up in a closet somewhere,

<v Speaker 3>and he's like, no, bitch, I'm a vampire.

<v Speaker 5>Someone saw her.

<v Speaker 2>Obviously.

<v Speaker 3>She's surprisingly not too alarmed by this and wants to

<v Speaker 3>join in on helping him find Selene.

<v Speaker 5>Which I was like, you're not.

<v Speaker 3>Surprised whatsoever to learn your best friend's boyfriend is a

<v Speaker 3>vampire and she also got stolen vampires.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I wouldn't believe it.

<v Speaker 3>He says, fine, but they're gonna play by his rules

<v Speaker 3>to keep her safe because that's what Selene would want.

<v Speaker 5>The next day, he's walking down.

<v Speaker 3>Every single street trying to pick up her scent. When

<v Speaker 3>Genevieve calls, He answers the phone and tells her fuck

<v Speaker 3>off and hangs up. Zab needs a break from all

<v Speaker 3>of the stress, so he goes to visit Tom. He

<v Speaker 3>knows a game of chess with his oldest friend will

<v Speaker 3>help calm him down. He gets the board ready and

<v Speaker 3>talks to Tom, but Tom is not answering. He's so

<v Speaker 3>distracted he doesn't notice that Tom is literally dead.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, that's so sad.

<v Speaker 3>He jumps up to help Tom, thinking he's had a

<v Speaker 3>heart attack, and Tom's head quite literally falls.

<v Speaker 5>Off his body. Tom, who killed Tom.

<v Speaker 3>Zab knows that Genevieve did this. He cries and mourns

<v Speaker 3>his oldest friend when he sees a note from Genevieve,

<v Speaker 3>and now he's furious. The note says she's next, love

<v Speaker 3>g bitch. He pushes through the anger and wraps Tom

<v Speaker 3>up under the cover of night, transporting him to a

<v Speaker 3>funeral home, and he compels the funeral director to call

<v Speaker 3>his family tomorrow, letting them know that Tom was in

<v Speaker 3>a tragic accident so they can't see him in an

<v Speaker 3>open casket or anything like that. But he also pays

<v Speaker 3>for all of the funeral fees.

<v Speaker 4>Oh.

<v Speaker 3>Genevieve visits Selene and gives her a chest piece, letting

<v Speaker 3>her know that Tom was a warning and if Zav

<v Speaker 3>doesn't become hers, she's next. And now Selene is like

<v Speaker 3>crying because obviously Tom is dead. Yeah, and she can't

<v Speaker 3>be there to comfort Zav or anything. Selene tells Genevieve

<v Speaker 3>that she would rather die than be used as a

<v Speaker 3>pawn against Zav, and Genevieve just doesn't even care at

<v Speaker 3>this point and beats the shit out of her.

<v Speaker 5>Oh catfight, Wow.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, except for Selene doesn't see a chance.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Genevieve lets her know before she leaves that humans are

<v Speaker 3>trash and she will have zav. Valin distracts Genevieve while

<v Speaker 3>Selene crawls to the open cell door. She doesn't make

<v Speaker 3>it far through the door before she's drug back inside

<v Speaker 3>the cell. Then a huge, bulky vampire comes in, dragging

<v Speaker 3>Valen away. Genevieve leaves Selene alone, but Selene smiles to

<v Speaker 3>herself because she wasn't trying to escape. She put a

<v Speaker 3>pebble in the lock, so she's like, who's a dumb,

<v Speaker 3>trashy human now, Steve a bitch? She waits a bit,

<v Speaker 3>then tests the door. It swings open, and she will

<v Speaker 3>be leaving this building with Valin. Both Zav and Ava

<v Speaker 3>spend their days searching for Selene with absolutely no luck.

<v Speaker 3>Ava has a light bulb moment and jumps up, saying

<v Speaker 3>that you know where they should go, Vex. She's like,

<v Speaker 3>Selene had a gut feeling you know.

<v Speaker 5>What, I think we should go off of it. Let's

<v Speaker 5>go back.

<v Speaker 4>Smart girl.

<v Speaker 3>Ava says they should go to VEX and not to

<v Speaker 3>the public part where everybody was dancing and stuff, to

<v Speaker 3>the one room where they kept trying to get information

<v Speaker 3>on but couldn't get into. Ava lets him know that

<v Speaker 3>Selene mentioned a lady named Genevieve who has ties to

<v Speaker 3>the club, and he's like, are you.

<v Speaker 5>Fucking kidding me? He's like, yeah, damn, I know who.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, we're gone, let's go. Selene makes her way out

<v Speaker 3>of the cell, hoping to get Valin and get them out.

<v Speaker 3>And remember, she just got her shit rocked by a supernatural,

<v Speaker 3>super strength vampire. She's also been giving Vallin blood a

<v Speaker 3>little bit at a time every single day for over

<v Speaker 3>a week.

<v Speaker 5>I don't know how she's standing. I would be like crawling.

<v Speaker 3>She grabs something from Valens cell before going up the stairs.

<v Speaker 3>She's not doing good at all and barely makes it

<v Speaker 3>up the stairs and through the door. She goes down

<v Speaker 3>a hall searching for him, and as she opens a door,

<v Speaker 3>she sees him strapped to a table with tubes on

<v Speaker 3>him removing his blood. She helps get him free and

<v Speaker 3>then gets him to a freezer which she just assumed

<v Speaker 3>had blood in it and was right, and then gives

<v Speaker 3>him the blood so he can replenish. She tells them

<v Speaker 3>that they're gonna have to wing it for their escape,

<v Speaker 3>but he just squeezes her hand and says, see her

<v Speaker 3>on the other side. And then a new vampire comes

<v Speaker 3>into the room right as Valan rips his heart out.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 3>He grabs her and takes off as alarms start ringing out.

<v Speaker 3>They run down hallways looking for any exit they can find,

<v Speaker 3>and he stops shoves her into a supply closet before

<v Speaker 3>fighting other vampires off. He's clearly winning and she knows

<v Speaker 3>that he cannot be just some normal vampire, like there's

<v Speaker 3>something else going on.

<v Speaker 4>What is he?

<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

<v Speaker 3>They take off again and he admits that he used

<v Speaker 3>a bit too much energy back there, and he is fading.

<v Speaker 3>Her adrenaline is also wearing off, and she's on the

<v Speaker 3>verge of passing out. Then they hear a voice say, well, well, well,

<v Speaker 3>what do we have here? It's Genevieve, God damn it.

<v Speaker 3>Zavi and Ava race to the club, and when he

<v Speaker 3>approaches the building, he does not slow down. He just

<v Speaker 3>puts an arm in front of Ava and crashes through it.

<v Speaker 3>They get out of the car and he tells her

<v Speaker 3>to stay and wait for the cops, but she says,

<v Speaker 3>I have skipped work. I am hiding supernaturals and we

<v Speaker 3>just did destruction of property and a break in. You

<v Speaker 3>think I'm gonna hang out.

<v Speaker 5>With the cops? No, absolutely not. I'm coming with you.

<v Speaker 5>He tells her.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she is too important to Selene, so he will

<v Speaker 3>compel the cops to forget her involvement in any of this.

<v Speaker 3>She says okay, and he heads inside the building. Valen

<v Speaker 3>tells Genevieve to move, but then a whole bunch more

<v Speaker 3>vampires get behind her and they're very outnumbered. Valen scoops

<v Speaker 3>up Selene and takes off back the way that they came,

<v Speaker 3>and she's like, no, I don't want to go that way.

<v Speaker 3>I want out of this fucking building. But he barricades

<v Speaker 3>them in a room and tells her to go through

<v Speaker 3>the air van. She refuses to leave him, so he

<v Speaker 3>helps her climb up. Thankfully, he's skinny enough from not

<v Speaker 3>eating for who knows how long, and climbs in after her.

<v Speaker 3>They unfortunately don't make it very far before the whole

<v Speaker 3>airvant collapses and they fall.

<v Speaker 5>To the ground.

<v Speaker 3>No, he picks her up, and they hear fighting in

<v Speaker 3>the distance, but he grabs her and they burst through

<v Speaker 3>another door. It opens up to the dance floor of

<v Speaker 3>Ves and she sees Zab's car in the building and

<v Speaker 3>a massive people gathered outside. Ava calls out her name

<v Speaker 3>and rushes to them. Valen drops her on her feet

<v Speaker 3>and disappears into the crowd. Aba to tell her that

<v Speaker 3>she's been gone for two weeks and she has worked

<v Speaker 3>almost every day with Zav to track her down. Selene

<v Speaker 3>wants to find Zav, but Ava stops her, saying fuck no,

<v Speaker 3>he's probably murdering everyone in there. Selene asks Aba to

<v Speaker 3>get her a blanket and some water. As soon as

<v Speaker 3>Ava's out of sight, Selene uses the loss of her

<v Speaker 3>strength to rush back to help her.

<v Speaker 5>Man, girl, what can you do? Nothing moral support? I

<v Speaker 5>would just cheer like you got this heap it's hurt out.

<v Speaker 3>She runs until she finds him standing there, spaced out

<v Speaker 3>holding Genevieve's decapitated head.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>She lets him know that she's here with him and safe.

<v Speaker 3>He drops the head and they hold each other She

<v Speaker 3>tells them that she loves him and they can move

<v Speaker 3>forward from this. Zav runs them home and gets them

<v Speaker 3>in the shower. He washes her, cherishes the fact that

<v Speaker 3>she's safe with him, and then she washes him and

<v Speaker 3>finally breaks down in his arms. Once she's had her

<v Speaker 3>little mentybe moment, which is well deserved, they smooch and

<v Speaker 3>he carries her to bed. She tells him she wants

<v Speaker 3>to do whatever's needed to seal their mating bond, and

<v Speaker 3>that she finally accepts it. She lets him know that

<v Speaker 3>she's not ready to turn into a vampire yet. That

<v Speaker 3>will be in the future, but she wants their bond now.

<v Speaker 5>He lets her know.

<v Speaker 3>To do the bond, they each need to drink from

<v Speaker 3>one another, and it's like a weird amount. It's like

<v Speaker 3>five times each or some shit for like two minutes.

<v Speaker 5>Oh.

<v Speaker 3>He lights her on the bed, presses the kiss to

<v Speaker 3>her neck, and then bites her. He drinks, then stops,

<v Speaker 3>bites his own wrist and offers it to her. They

<v Speaker 3>do the back and forth however many times it is,

<v Speaker 3>and then they feel their bond snap into place. They

<v Speaker 3>snuggle in bed and fall asleep, but only an hour

<v Speaker 3>later Abe's pounding on the door, demanding they let her in.

<v Speaker 5>I would be so pissed. No, I'd be like, bitch,

<v Speaker 5>go home. No, they just left her there. Oh well yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Zav lets her in and she checks on Selene see

<v Speaker 3>she's okay and goes to leave, but Selene and Zav

<v Speaker 3>offer her to take over Zav's lease and move into

<v Speaker 3>apartment next door.

<v Speaker 5>Fun.

<v Speaker 3>Ava says, okay, I'll move all my stuff in later,

<v Speaker 3>but I'm gonna go there now because I'm exhausted. They

<v Speaker 3>get back into bed and talk about their future and

<v Speaker 3>how it will look. It's three weeks later. Ava is

<v Speaker 3>moving the rest of her stuff into the apartment and

<v Speaker 3>presses Zav about how he even got this place when

<v Speaker 3>someone was currently living there. He doesn't answer, and Selene says,

<v Speaker 3>did you did you kill Corey?

<v Speaker 5>He did call her frigid?

<v Speaker 4>He did?

<v Speaker 3>He says, yes, but she's not listening anymore because Valen

<v Speaker 3>is standing in the front door. She hugs him and

<v Speaker 3>he apologizes for leaving her there the way that he did.

<v Speaker 3>He tells her that he needed time on his own

<v Speaker 3>but decided he will be staying in Chicago. She tells

<v Speaker 3>him that he can stay with Ava, which, bitch, you

<v Speaker 3>just gave her that apartment.

<v Speaker 5>You can't just invite people to stay. Yeah. No, a vampire, no,

<v Speaker 5>less that you barely know.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he's not even he has to be something else,

<v Speaker 3>not only a vampire. She entered uses the two of them,

<v Speaker 3>and as soon as they shake hands, he stops and

<v Speaker 3>declares Ava is his mate.

<v Speaker 4>The enn Wow, is there another book?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah? And it's Ava and Balan's book. Cute. I'd really

<v Speaker 5>like this one. How many red pepper emojis do give

<v Speaker 5>this one?

<v Speaker 4>I think I give it four and a half.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was good, it was good good. And do

<v Speaker 5>you think that Zava is sexy?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

<v Speaker 4>He is sex little vampire?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just something about like a psychopathic little Golden Retriever boy.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, with red hair?

<v Speaker 2>And would you trade places with Selene?

<v Speaker 5>Sure? It doesn't sound terrible.

<v Speaker 1>Well, next week we're telling Riley all about The Beast

<v Speaker 1>by Jennica Snow, and we're gonna have her look at

<v Speaker 1>the cover and give us her best guess on what

<v Speaker 1>it might be about.

<v Speaker 4>It says monsters and Beauties the Beast, and it's got

<v Speaker 4>a rose on it, so I think it will be

<v Speaker 4>kind of like beauty in the Beast. Possibly. I think

<v Speaker 4>a beautiful woman is gonna go day and a big

<v Speaker 4>scary tower, and then there's gonna be a beast that

<v Speaker 4>lives there, and she's gonna help the beast. Don't really

<v Speaker 4>remember what happens in Sleeping Beauty or whatever the fuck

<v Speaker 4>movie it was Beauty.

<v Speaker 5>And the Beast.

<v Speaker 4>I don't really remember what happens in that movie because

<v Speaker 4>I didn't like it very much as a child, Not

<v Speaker 4>that this book could have nothing to do with that.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know why I'm going that hard for it,

<v Speaker 4>but I think they're gonna meet. They're gonna have this

<v Speaker 4>like love hate relationship, maybe just like hate hate in

<v Speaker 4>the beginning. Then they're just like gonna hit it off

<v Speaker 4>one day and build this beautiful budding relationship. But they're

<v Speaker 4>gonna have some trials and they're gonna have some tribulations,

<v Speaker 4>valid per usual.

<v Speaker 5>How'd I do?

<v Speaker 2>I will say it is just a smutty retelling of

<v Speaker 2>Beauty and the Beast.

<v Speaker 5>Oh fuck yeah? Cool? All right?
