Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 33

Stella

This is the most awkward car ride of my entire life. I'm sitting in the front passenger seat, Raphael is driving, and Evan is grumpily leaning his head against the window behind me. "Stella, can you tell your vampire boyfriend to stop glaring daggers at me so I won't drive off the road."

Evan hisses before speaking. "Stella, could you tell your werewolf boyfriend to stop listening to shitty music? I think I'm about to go deaf from all the rap and RnB."

"And what would you rather listen to?!" Raphael snaps. "Backstreet Bats? Heavy Metal? Top ten murder songs?"

"Normal pop music is fine..." Evan stretches in his seat, ignoring the sarcastic remark from Raphael.

"The bat listens to pop music, huh..."

"Yeah," Evan snorts. "Or rap music where the rappers aren't throwing out the word 'money' every five seconds..."

"Why are you in this car anyway?" Raphael is busy changing the radio station, actually listening to his enemy. It baffles me.

What the f**k is happening in this car?

"Because I don't trust you to be left alone with Stella. You would try something funny, and I know it."

Evan is jealous.

Raphael is still changing the radio station.

I grimace, wishing I was anywhere else but inside this car.

A second later, Raphael drives like a maniac, and Evan stares through the window while bobbing his head.

I glance over my shoulder, sighing. The next time I'm alone with Evan, I have to discuss things with him.

Evan doesn't seem entirely convinced that I wasn't part of his capture. He probably believes I'm being nice to him since he apparently can't be captured. We have to talk about that, and I also kind of want an apology for him calling me a dirty mutt.

"All vampires are probably dying in Lunaris right now, and you're not even there to help them," Raphael grunts while speeding on the highway. I find it interesting that he talks with Evan.

Evan glances at Raphael. "They can handle themselves... Most of my kind will probably flee and avoid the battle."

"I hope you're right..." Raphael says. "Also, once we are back in Lunaris, don't think for a minute that I won't have my men attack you. You and I aren't friends. I'm not doing anything about you now since I realize I can't take you in a fight one versus one, but my pack can handle you."

Evan doesn't seem phased by the threat. "Then I will stick around until we are in Lunaris, but make no mistake-if you force yourself on Stella, then I will kill you."

Raphael smirks. "But then she will never find her father."

"At that point, I won't give a f**k. You're a dead man if you rape Stella or kiss her against her will."

A snarl leaves Raphael's lips. "Are you calling me a rapist?!"

"It wouldn't surprise me if you were... You look like one with that long blonde hair. I bet it draws all kinds of unsuspecting victims to you, both men and women." Raphael growls and actually sounds insulted. "Long hair on dudes is awesome-Thor has long hair."

"Aw, the poor baby is a Marvel fan..." Evan sounds wickedly sarcastic and dark, kind of like an actual bully. It's odd seeing him speak to a person who isn't me. He is usually quiet.

"Seriously?!" Raphael exclaims. "I've had enough of your disrespect! I might just battle you here and now!"

Evan yawns. "You would lose in two seconds, pal..."

When Raphael turns around to glare at Evan, and I'm forced to grab the steering wheel, I can no longer keep quiet.

"CAN EVERYONE JUST CHILL THE f**k OUT! AND RAPHAEL, FOCUS ON THE GODDAMN ROAD!"

Silence fills the car.

But I'm not done.

"f**k, men are such testosterone-filled idiots. You can't even be quiet during a car ride without measuring c***s..."

Raphael blinks at me in shock and calmly returns to steering the vehicle while Evan snorts in the back. I glare at him and notice a smile on his lips before he hides it underneath his palm. "Someone is growing a backbone..." Evan teases.

My eyes narrow even though my lips struggle to repress a smile. There are butterflies in my chest. "Shut up, vampire."

Raphael continues driving and takes an exit that says Lunaris. Soon we are in the forest, entirely alone. I relax in my seat, only to fly forward when something tackles the car. "What the f**k!" Raphael yells.

The car has come to an abrupt stop, and I hear Evan clicking off his seatbelt. The door opens. "There is one of those demons outside the freaking car-I can smell it!"

"Impossible..." Raphael breathes while stepping out of the car. Smoke is coming from the engine. "They aren't supposed to leave Lunaris. What the hell is it doing out here?" "Running into cars, apparently..." Evan replies before walking up to me in the darkness. His eyes are glowing. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine... Just shocked..."

Evan places his hands on my cheeks and bends down to scan my face for injuries in the dark. His hands are careful and soft while those gentle eyes roam over my flushed skin. "I can't find any injury. You seem fine."

Evan's hands still don't leave my face, not until I place my hands on his firm chest. His hard pecs. Electricity bolts through me at the touch, and I flatten my palms, memorizing the feeling of his heart. Ropes of muscle cover his body, and Evan is impossibly unrelenting, in top physical form. It feels safe to have him near.

Suddenly, there is a demonic screech in the distance, and I gaze in the sound's direction. I'm afraid.

"More demons?" I ask in a whisper.

"Yup," Evan says, stepping away from me. "And you can thank Einstein over there for bringing them here."

Raphael growls. "They are supposed to stay in the city if Lunaris. It's where Leonora summoned them."

"Leonora?" I ask, bewildered by everything that has been said.

Evan sighs. "Raphael wishes to grow the number of werewolves, and your kind exists to protect humanity, right?"

I nod.

Evan continues. “So what if humanity was put in danger? More werewolves would awaken. Even those who thought to be humans might develop powers."

My eyes widen, and I stare at Raphael. "Why would you do something so f*g stupid?! Do you even realize that those... THINGS have killed people in the woods already?!"

"I know!" Raphael growls. "They weren't supposed to grow in numbers quickly, and they even left the forest where they were summoned!"

"Because your witch isn't strong enough to control them-no one is strong enough for that!" Evan exclaims in an angry tone. "It's actual demons from f*g hell that you've let loose. And so far, we are lucky it's only small fry entering our world!" "Small fry?!" Raphael snorts. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but have you seen the sent on the car?! Whatever hit us wasn't small..."

I step around the vehicle with Evan following me, gasping when I see that the entire left side of the car is dented. Not only just an area but the whole freaking plate from rear to front.

My eyes widen, and I shudder when another demonic call comes from the woods.

Raphael clears his throat. "Whatever demon is out there is huge... And probably coming for us."
