Chapter 26: Afterglow

Forgoing home Mick heads to Josef's in a good mood and to tell him about Guillermo. As Mick walks in Josef has his back to him but knows he is there.

"Mick I don't think I can take any of your moping right now."

"Who's moping?"

Josef turns and looks at his friend, seeing the idiotic grin on his face. He takes the time to focus on the other scents coming from his friend, desire, passion, arousal, satisfaction, Beth, her blood, realizing he didn't need to see it to know why his friend was suddenly so chipper.

"Of course you're happy."

"Yes I saw her."

"You couldn't keep it in your pants?"

"Nope," Josef shakes his head at his friend. "It wasn't planned, I went to the morgue to get my supply, you know the soy non-fat vegan stuff. Well Guillermo asked what was up with Beth's phone call; he told me she was on her way down so I explained the situation at hand. Her tail stayed in their car and waited outside, so no one was the wiser."

"So you screwed her brains out in the morgue surrounded by dead stiffs, so romantic."

"The supply closet," Mick snapped. She wasn't complaining.

"Yeah, yeah. So now you can start thinking with your big head again."

"Poor Guillermo."

"What?"

"Mick I can almost bet you and Blondie were not engaging in some quite closet loving, I bet she is a screamer. Guillermo would have had to hear, vamp hearing is quite perceptive."

Mick is quite, stuck between wanting to punch Josef for the 'screamer' comment, knowing he was right. He had not thought about Guillermo being able to hear them, he hadn't thought about much really other than satisfying their needs. Not giving his friend the satisfaction of knowing he was right Mick rolls his eyes at his friend's insinuation, knowing he was right he had not been thinking with his brain.

"So any new leads?"

"No, I hate to admit it but he has done a good job at hiding it. Either that or he's bluffing, but I can't risk the community and call the punk's bluff."

The door opens behind Mick; he turns to see one of Josef's freshies strutting in.

"Dinner?"

"Dessert actually, so if you don't mind? Unless you want some, I am sure I can find one will to take on a charity case," Josef quirked.

"I already had my dessert."

Mick gets up to leave; catching the freshies eyes Mick flashes his winning smile and a wink, causing her to blush.

"Enjoy your dessert."

"Show off," Josef shouts as Mick closes the door behind him.

Mick smirks, he had not lost his touch with the freshies, not that he would use one. The thought of making Josef's dessert aroused at the thought of him, make him happy, if only as payback for his smart ass comments about him and Beth.

As the freshie sets on his lap, Josef funs his hand along her thigh, "Now I will give you something to blush about."

Mick drives him, happy for the first time in days. He goes to relax on the couch, pulling out his phone he sees the time. Knowing his Beth she was still awake, he decided to text her.

'Sweet dreams my love.'

After a moment he received a text, 'Dreaming of you, I love you.'

With that Mick went to go shower and hit the freezer.

The next morning, Beth wakes up and checks her phone having 1 missed message. 'Morning beautiful.' Rolling over in bed she texts him back, knowing he would be sleeping, 'You should be sleeping my delicate flower.' Getting ready to start her day she would stop by Candice's before work to tell her about her surprise encounter at the morgue, just thinking about it got her aroused. Who would have thought thinking about the morgue could make you so horny.

As Beth arrives at Candice's still beaming. Candice opens the door and lets her in, eyeing her up and down,

"So what happened? You are practically glowing."

Beth's grin gets even wider, "I saw Mick."

"What? When? Where?"

"Last night at the morgue. I got a call from Mo; she needed me to check with my contact there about a body. I went down, Mick was getting his supply and Guillermo…helped us out."

"How did he help?"

Beth blushes and it hits Candice with full force what she was grinning about.

"You did it at the morgue," more of a statement than question.

"A supply closet I think. I wasn't paying to much attention to my surroundings."

"I'd say. No wonder you look so happy, got a little stress released last night," they laugh "So Josh is still in the dark."

"Yep. Mick sneaks in anyways, not like he has a reason to be buying blood at the morgue, and I was working."

"You were working something alright."

Beth is red in the face from laughing, god did she need this after all the tension. Suddenly she grabbed her hip as it started to vibrate.

"What is it?"

Beth looks at the phone and smiles, and holds it up for Candice to see. 'I love you too; have a good day at work.'

"Ah."

Beth starts to text back, she felt like she was in high school again texting her boyfriend between classes.

"So how is the studying coming?"

"Okay, I just sit with my iPod and cram for hours."

"You will do great."

"Thanks. Hey if you want to stay, feel free but I am going to go study."

"No I need to head into work."

"Okay but you can come anytime, when I have my headphones on a bomb could go off in the other room and I wouldn't notice."

"Thanks, I might take you up on it sometimes."

"Anytime."



"Have fun studying," Beth says as they walk to the door.

"Yeah joy for me, later."

Beth leaves and heads for Buzzwire.
