“You wouldn’t,” he said simply, smiling even as Cameron grumbled and scowled at him. Joshua gestured to the boy, “Or else you’d be out with a hunter and not in vampire territory, let alone, at my door.” He didn’t skip a beat as he led Cameron to the dining room and pulled out a chair for Cameron.
He’s impressed that Cameron came on over, especially with the word ‘offer’ leaving his lips. Joshua took one more look at him, studying the ruddy cheeks of his. The cold did a number, but my, does it stir at Joshua’s hunger. The vampire sat down at the table, resting his chin on the crown of his knuckles, “I am aware what I proposed,” he replied in a soft purr.
“The question, however, is whether you’re aware of what you’re asking. I can give you as much money as you need, but it comes at a price.” He looked from Cameron’s eyes to the human’s body, taking his time in looking over his form. My, it’s a wonder he’s still alive. Joshua will keep him here for the night–it’s far too cold for him to wander around.
“There’s still time for me to change my mind and flee,” Cameron joked with a smirk as he looked at the other man. Cameron chuckled as he looked at the other man. “Could always just google it and I’m sure I can find a phone number as soon as possible.” Cameron joked with a smirk.
Cameron should be happy and relaxed that the other man could remember what he proposed...But for some reason, the way he said it had Cameron on edge. Cameron was waiting for him to take it back. Just about every good thing that’s been dangled in front of him has happened that way...Dangled in front of him before being moved out of his reach.
But when the other said that he would be able to give him as much money as he needs, all that fear leaves Cameron. “You should know what I’m asking.” Cameron said with a snort. “I’m asking for a lot...I’m being evicted from my shitty ass apartment in a few days...And I’m not dumb enough to believe that a human can survive being out on the streets in this town in the winter. “ Maybe a warm season...But the winter? There was just no way. “I’m willing to do anything Joshua...Anything.”
