could care less about the tramp hanging on his arm.
    “Hi, Jay.” The voice tried its best to sound sultry but came out more of a rasp. Jason didn’t need to turn his head to know who was by his side. The lack of a reflection in the mirror behind the bar answered that well enough.
    “What do you want, Monica?”
    “Don’t be like that.” She pressed her breasts more firmly against him, trying to draw his attention to them. “We could have some real fun you and I.”
    Jason finally turned from his drink to look at the brunette. Blood red lipstick covered lips that pouted up at him and dark lined eyes leered up at him with lust and hunger. The latter emotion was probably the more dominate of the two.
    “Even if I was on the market, you know I don’t date sups, Monica.”
    His words didn’t deter her. Monica used her vampiric strength to hop up on the bar and crossed her legs in front of her, giving him a nice long glimpse of them underneath her barely legal short skirt.
    God, he needed another drink.
    “Not even for an old girlfriend?” She tiptoed her fingers up his bicep, leaning forward to tempt him with a look down her tight corset.
    Monica and he had dated back in high school. Back before the supernaturals had come out of the closet, back when she had a heartbeat. She was actually one of the first ones to turn when given the chance at eternal life and beauty. Not that Jason was surprised. She was as vain then as she was now. Death hadn’t changed that.
    Jason pushed her hand away and frowned. “Not even then.”
    She huffed and dropped from the counter. “You know, Jason. I’d go animal for you if you’d give me half a chance.”
    He sighed and tossed back the shot the bartender had placed in front of him. He watched the mirror where he knew she was standing, though no reflection was found.
    “It’s pretty to think so, Mon. But you’re a monster, it hurts but it’s the truth. You can’t help what you are, and I wouldn’t want you to try to be anything less.”
    “Fine.” Her fangs snapped together. “But when you’re tired of running after Miss Nobody, you come and give me a call. I might answer.”
    The sound of her stilettos stomping across the floor trailed after her and all Jason could do was sigh. He should have gone home to get trashed. With it barely being after sunset, he thought he would be able to get in and out without a fuss, but his popularity seemed to have other ideas.
    Placing his head in his hands, he thought about closing his tab out and going home when the door to the local bar, Caver’s, slammed open. The distinct sound of his best friend, Luis, causing a ruckus as he made his way into the bar.
    “Jason!” He exclaimed, clapping him on the shoulder. “It’s good to see you out and about.”
    “Hey, Lu.” Jason took a sip of the beer in front of him and nodded at the bartender to give him another shot. He would definitely need to be intoxicated for this lecture. He loved Luis like a brother, but he was a guy who only had one thing on his mind. Having fun and getting laid. Two things that had become less important to Jason since he’d met Izzy.
    “You started the party without me I see.” Lu gestured at the four empty shot glasses in front him. “That can’t be good.”
    “Don’t start, Lu.” Jason shot a warning glance at his friend.
    “Hey, I’m not starting anything.” Lu held his hands up.
    Luis and he had both joined the military straight out of high school and even at 5’ 9” he was still just as muscled. While Jason had chosen the quite life of a shop owner, Lu had become a deputy for the sheriff’s department, claiming he needed more excitement in his life. Jason thought his friend was way too laid back for the kind of person a police officer would need to be. Too eager to choose the nonviolent way out.
    Some called him a wimp, but Jason had learned the hard way that just because Luis was smaller didn’t mean that he was weaker. He still had the
