Danny rolled his eyes and pulled his feet further under his chair. “Zane, Russell and I really enjoy your company. And we like you, so if we get too personal or go too far, let us know. But we wanted to ask you something.” “I’m not having your baby,” Zane said with a grin. “I like you guys too, but I draw the line at carrying around a ton of weight out of friendship. Anything else, well, we can discuss that too.” “What Danny is trying to say is we’d like to know what you are. You’re a woman, we get that, but what species are you? And like he said, we’re not trying to hurt you about this.” Zane stared at Russell then looked at Danny. He would have preferred that they worked up to this a little slower, but Russell had never been known for his patience. Danny was ready to tell her to forget it when she answered. “I’m not really sure they named what I am. I’m a test tube anomaly that was created by mixing the DNA from several species. And I’m not easily offended.” “You drink blood. I mean, the wine, it was blood. Do you have fangs? Can you bite people?” Danny felt stupid for blurting it out like that as soon as the words spilled from his lips. “Yes. I drink blood on occasion. When I’m hurt or drained of energy, I need to drink it. And yes, I have fangs to drink from someone if I need to. I don’t often, but there have been times when it was necessary. I don’t need it like a vampire does, but I do need it. I feed about twice a week, more if I’m injured.” Zane leaned down to pick up Russell’s cat and Danny thought of something else. He’d wanted to ask about her tattoos for a long time and since she was willing to answer, he thought he’d find out. He just hoped the answer wasn’t as scary as he thought it might be. “You have tattoos on your back and arms. They’re very detailed and...well, they’re very unusual. Not just for a woman, but unusual for tats. Do they have anything to do with what you are?” smarturl.it/nighthungers
