“Nah, we’re just fucking,” Xylia shook her head, answering the question at face value and not realizing he was trying to make it a jibe. “Fair enough, mine either. Too many pretty people around here for me to settle down with the first vampire that sinks his fangs into me,” she giggled playfully. She wasn’t surprised it wasn’t serious with him and Morgan, but she had to be sure, for both her friends’ sake. She dug into the ice cream herself, delighted that he’d picked her favorite. “I could compel you to kick your own ass.” She teased playfully.

“Ooooh,” Xylia smiled, lifting her brows and making an excited face as he told her about his and Morgan’s New Year. “Good thing we went back to his place, then. I wouldn’t have wanted to compete with you guys,” she teased playfully, although she was sure she and Eli would’ve won. “So are you guys gonna get serious? You’re not allowed to break her heart, you know, or I’ll have to kick your butt,” she warned him, using the spoon he’d just handed her to point at him seriously.

Xylia laughed at the idea of a search party, wondering if he’d really consider such a thing. While he was getting the ice cream, she rearranged the pillows and blankets to get more comfortable on the couch. “Of course I do! Did you see Morgan again?” She guessed enthusiastically, without giving him a chance to answer.

“You must know by now that I wouldn’t bring it up if I didn’t plan to,” Morgan pointed out, their lips mere centimeters from his as they spoke, “for medical reasons.”

“Deal. And I’ll try to remember to text you when I disappear for a few days, but I can’t make any promises where sexy motorcycle vamps are concerned,” she replied with a teasing smile. She couldn’t help it, when she was with Eli nothing else really seemed to matter, it was kind of a miracle she’d managed to drag herself away from his bed for movie night. “I’m going back to his place tomorrow, so you know. Probably gonna stay there until school starts.”

“Why would I go home when I just got here?” Xylia looked at him like he was crazy, she had spent years convincing her family to let her come to the human world, and it had finally taken a scandal to actually get them to go through with it. “Of course I would, you really think I’d leave without at least saying goodbye?” She raised her brows at him. “Heck, I’d probably ask you to come along. Who else is going to keep me alive in this strange world of yours?”

Xylia couldn’t help but like the idea of being confined with Eli, but she got the feeling Luke wouldn’t want to hear about it. She turned her attention back to the tv, getting comfortable on the couch, when Luke suddenly turned it off again. She pressed her lips together, glancing away, a little bit guilty. “I meant to text you… but then my phone died, and I just didn’t notice. I’m not used to these things,” she didn’t have a cell phone in Avalon, and she wasn’t used to checking in with anyone. Everyone back home was too used to her vanishing for days on end, if they worried about her, they’d never stop. “Where did you think I’d go?”

“That wasn’t even one of them,” Morgan admitted, their hands sliding over his skin the same way she’d done a hundred times before. Or what felt like a hundred times. She lazily spread her legs so he could comfortably hover between them, her lips capturing his again, her tongue sliding back between his lips as her hands moved up his back to grip his messy locks of hair. They lost themselves in the pleasure that being with Luke brought them, completely unaware of what was happening outside of his bed in this moment. “I’ve heard that intense pleasure can instantly mask any feeling of pain,” she whispered against his lips, nose brushing against his and she smirked. 

“Wait, there’s ice cream?” Her face lit up, completely ignoring the part where he said she couldn’t have any. But she was quickly distracted by the possibility that Eli was hiding his coffins. “Ooh, do you think? I’ll ask to see them next time, that would be so cool!” She bounced in place, happily taking the half Luke offered to her, she scarfed it down with apparent relish. “Why would being normal impress me? I don’t know about you, but I’d love to sleep in a coffin.”

Xylia didn’t answer for a moment, since she had a mouthful of ooey-gooey grilled cheese right now. She smiled deviously after she swallowed, refusing to give back the half of the sandwich she’d stolen. “But I’m soooo hungry,” she fluttered her eyelashes all innocently. “I’m not sure this movie is wholly accurate… I didn’t see a single coffin at Eli’s place.”
