Chapter Fourteen

“So we’re living with vampires, too, huh?” Leo asked as he paced around the room.

Logan was impressed his best friend was taking it so well. But he really shouldn’t be. Leo loved anything supernatural. His computer was loaded with erotic romances revolving around vampires and shifters. Maybe Leo had a kink for this type of thing.

“Yes.” Logan wrapped an arm around Leo’s shoulder and started walking him toward the door. “I’ve met Trevor. He’s a newly turned vampire, and he reminds me a lot of you. Let me introduce the two of you.”

“Okay, but I have to ask, is he cute?” Leo turned hopeful eyes up at Logan.

Logan chuckled. “I guess. I really didn’t look at him in that way.”

Logan paused at the door and turned Leo to face him. “But I think he has a thing for another vampire living here. I could hear his inner feelings toward the older vampire, and he has some unresolved issues where Quinn is concerned.”

Leo shook his head. “I think the one thing that will take the most getting used to is that you’re a freaking empath. Just let me know if I get too emotional, and I’ll try to tone it down.”

“Leo, my friend, you and me both. And I will for sure let you know on the overly emotional issue.”

They headed downstairs, and Logan could hear chatter coming from the kitchen. It seemed to be a hot spot for the occupants of the house. Logan walked in first, and all eyes turned toward them. He flashed a nervous smile.

“Hi, everyone.” Logan put a hand on Leo’s back and pushed him forward, trying to put all the attention onto him. “This is Leo, my best friend. He’s going to be staying here with us.”

“Well, let me welcome you into our little family here.” The man named Miles got up from the table to come shake both their hands.

“Logan, I know we haven’t met yet, but Trevor has told me a lot about you.” Miles looked at him with curiosity in his eyes. “An empath, huh?”

I’m in love with Ben, and if he were here right now I’d ride him like…

“Stop, please!” Logan shouted. “That’s way too much info for me to absorb after only just meeting you.” His heart pounded in his ears.

The last thing he wanted to know was about was everyone’s sex life.

Jeez!

Miles started to laugh. “I was just messing with you. I just wanted to see if it would work. And I guess it does.”

Logan nodded his head. “Yes, and I wish I could control it. I mean, don’t get me wrong,” he rushed to say. “You seem like a really nice guy, and Ben is great, but I really don’t want to actually know the details of your all’s sex life.”

“Don’t sweat it.” Miles lightly punched him in the arm. “I’d have to agree. It would make being around here hell. So many emotions running rampant. It must suck for you.”

“It’s not all bad.” Logan shrugged one shoulder. “I only hear some things but not all. The emotion has to be pretty strong to come through.”

“Cool.” Miles turned to the table. “Well, Leo, this is Astrid and Trevor. I’m Ben’s mate, and Astrid is Klaus’s. Have you met them yet?”

“No, but it’s nice to meet you three.” Leo’s eye immediately flashed to Trevor. “A vampire. How interesting.”

“Huh?” Trevor gave Leo an odd look.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Logan just informed me before we came downstairs that actual vampires lived here. They told me about you guys, but I just assumed everyone living here was a shifter of some sort.”

“Miley is one, too!” Astrid said excitedly.

“Miley?” Leo and Logan both asked in unison.

“Little man here means Miles.” Trevor ruffled up Astrid’s long hair.

“Yes, Astrid has a habit of giving people nicknames,” Miles said.

“Here, have a seat. Let’s get to know each other better.” Logan and Leo pulled out their chairs and took a seat at the table. “So, Trevor here also said that you just found out you’re a witch. That had to be a surprise.”

“It was at first, but I’m okay with it now.” Logan lowered
