said.
    After the door closed and quietness once again filled the café, Raven asked, “What is it?”
    “Look at the two men coming inside.”
    Raven turned in the booth to look at the two men walking into the café. Both were soaked from the rain and they looked so pale. One had either light brown or black hair. The water had it lying on his head. He had on a long, black leather coat and black boots. The other guy, Raven couldn’t describe him with just words. Just like the teenager she was, her body jumped into overdrive just from looking at him. The one she couldn’t stop staring at had shoulder length, light blond hair. His hair was so long and thick that she wanted to run her fingers threw it. The length didn’t take away from his manliness. His skin was as pale as the other but it looked good on him. She couldn’t tell from the distance what color his eyes were but they were very light. Maybe a baby blue . He also had on a black jacket and black boots.
    God he’s handsome.
    Raven could not turn away from this man. Her body began to burn at the thought of the stranger’s hands touching her, which should freak her out, but it didn’t.
    The stranger’s buddy sat in the booth next to the door facing away from them. The stranger was about to sit when his head shot up and his gaze locked with hers. Raven’s entire body tensed at the man’s stare.
    Raven couldn’t blink or turn away. The stranger smiled and Raven knew that she had lost any fight she had. She did have a secret craving for white guys but she kept it a secret. But she knew, if he came over to her right now and asked her to go home with him she probably would go.
    The stranger’s friend turned in the booth and looked at her then back to her admirer. He grabbed her admirer’s arm and pulled him into the booth.
    “Raven,” Veronica called her name making her turn around.
    Raven looked up at Veronica.
    “What?”
    “What was that all about?”
    Raven glanced back towards the stranger then back to Veronica.
    “I don’t know what just happened. I don’t usually act like that when I see a man.”
    “Well I’m going to go take their orders. You stay here and try not to stare at them like a hungry, horny lion.”
    “No promises,” Raven said with a smile.
    Raven took the spoon and began to stir her coffee again. Her legs shook nervously as she tried to keep herself from looking back at the man. What was it about him that made her edgy? The friend of the admirer did nothing for her, only him.
    Raven closed her eyes and concentrated on her headache instead of the man.

    Kristian took off his jacket and laid it on the chair in the booth.
    “What’s up with you, man? I’ve never seen you react like that before. Is it because she has that smooth ebony colored skin?” Shane whispered to him.
    Kristian frowned at his friend. “No. I don’t have a thing for her. You know I have a very unique taste in women, but I am not looking to be with anyone.”
    His friend lifted an eyebrow at him. “I don’t know about you.”
    “What about me?”
    “I have had you away from your parents for two-hundred years and yet I haven’t seen you be the vampire you are meant to be.”
    Kristian sighed then lifted the menu. “What am I to be, some whorish man like you are? Having sex with every female I come into contact with?”
    Shane reached over and pulled the menu from his hand.
    “Pretty much. You are—”
    “May I take your order?”
    Kristian looked at the red head as she stood over him. She was pretty to him. Nice skin tone. Long sexy legs in that waitress outfit. But, she just didn’t do it for him. Lately, no one really made him want to have sex with them. Not like his sex on a stick friend Shane.
    “Oh yes, you can take more than just my order. I have an itch that is out of my reach that needs to be scratch. Care to help?”
    The girl giggled and that was Kristian’s cue to let Shane work his charm on the young lady. That also
