Excerpt from BITTEN, AGAIN by Kate Hill
Available from Changeling Press
In spite of his desire to stare at a man he'd always found most beautiful, Daniel kept his attention focused on everything except Nigel. Always impatient and a bit paranoid, Nigel was first to break the silence.
"Do you plan to stay in New York long?"
A wicked little smile on his lips, Daniel turned to him and said with mock innocence, "Are you talking to me?"
"You know damn right well I'm talking to you," Nigel hissed.
"I might visit for a bit."
"You're injured, aren't you? What happened?"
"My, my. Such personal questions from a stranger."
"Fine. Don't answer. I couldn't care less if you're dying."
"You've made that clear enough," Daniel muttered and took another sip from his glass.
"A man like you lives for trouble, so even if you found someone willing to care about you, it would be pointless."
"Contrary to popular belief, Nigel, there are people who care about me. And you? Have you found the perfect mate yet?"
"There's no such thing," Nigel snapped and glared at Daniel from the corner of his eye. "But I have enough companions to satisfy my every need, in case you're interested."
"I'm not." That much was true enough. He'd learned long ago to overcome any petty jealousy for a man who'd treated him with such unwarranted contempt.
"Now that I know you're his Creator, I can see why Richie didn't have a chance."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"It means no wonder he thinks it's perfectly acceptable to don makeup and skirts and sees no difference between male friends and male friends, if you get my meaning."
"It amazes me, Nigel, how a man can live so long and not progress. This is the fucking twenty-first century, not the bloody dark ages."
