0229: The Vampire's Daughter Book Three

The male of the couple at the window started to move more aggressively and then slumped to his knees, causing Jamie to say, "That was quick, how disappointing for her."

Sol didn�t respond, but shook his head. Then after pondering for a short time, said, "The actual functions of intercourse don't take that long, pleasure is a different issue. Not to change the topic, but I would like to discuss the list of names."

"Yes, John Paul's list of vampires who he believed would help you get out from under this bloodhunt," Jamie said, walking back to the couch and sitting.

"That wasn't the intent of the list," Sol responded, moving from leaning on the arm of the couch to sitting next to Jamie on it. "This is a list of people who can help me better understand the role John Paul believes I am to play in the demise of our kind."

"Why would you want to speed our demise?" Jamie asked.

"That's why I'm supposed to find these vampires. They're supposed to help me find out."

"And you want me to help you figure out why you want to destroy me?"

"No. I know why I would destroy you. You're a pain in the...," Sol stopped and smiled at his friend.

"Not funny. Give me the damn list," Jamie said, snatching it from Sol's hands as soon as he produced it. "I only know half the names and of those, I don't know of any that are up and about. In fact, I think a couple might be dead."

"So who do you know that might know more?" Sol asked, though he knew the answer.

"You know the answer to that," Jamie said a little perturbed.

"Can we see him?"

"I haven't spoken to my sire since I left him for you."

"What better time to kiss and make up," Sol chided.

"Yes, well, I don't think he's going to be very happy to see me. We didn't exactly part on good terms. In fact, I believe his last words were something like 'I'll kill you if you ever come back here you ungrateful whore.' Not exactly an open door policy," Jamie said.

"I happen to know for a fact that he hasn't found a replacement for you. My guess is he still loves you," said Sol.

"Perhaps, but it's my love for you that's going to get me to go see him again."

"And you know I appreciate that," Sol said, putting his hand around Jamie's head and pulling it to his own. The two kissed deeply.

Pulling back, Jamie said, "Yeah, well, just don't destroy me O.K."

"I'll try to restrain myself, but you really can be annoying sometimes."

"Screw you," Jamie said, before getting distracted by the window. "Is that the same couple going at it again?"

"It looks like it," Sol said.

"Well, I hope for her sake that he has more staying power the second time around."
