" riley shifted out of the way for the two to come inside .
august had heard the footsteps before their guests got to the door and wasn't surprised that riley was the one who beat him to getting to the door . always one step ahead , always a little extra and dramatic . he half wondered how far that would be pushed . the vampire stood , gaze lifting when the two stepped into the room , " gabriel , " august greeted simply . " need anything ? drink ? food ? "
