Summary
“I won’t be totally useless to you, then?” Sam asks. He takes the bottle, sniffs it, and hands it back. “Thanks, but I won't benefit from that unless…”
“Ah,” Rashid says, catching his mistake. He sets the bottle down, and then offers his arm. “This is something you’ll have to cover anyway, right?”
Sam stares at Rashid’s wrist, his eyes owlishly inhuman again. “I’m,” he tries, licking his lips, both fangs exposed. “I’m sorry, but what are you…”
“I’m not stupid,” Rashid says. “If Armand’s companion is as much of a hothead as Raglan implies he is, then here’s a chance I’ll get bitten on the job. That’s likely what will have happened when a vacancy finally crops up, yeah? The turnover isn't too high, but when there is turnover…” He shrugs, lifting his wrist a fraction closer to Sam’s parted lips. “You can’t convince me you don’t have vampire agents bite human agents on the regular so they know what to expect. Tell me that, as my trainer, you wouldn’t be the one to do it. Tell me I’m wrong.”
Sam sucks in a shuddering breath, his hungry eyes fixed on Rashid’s. “Oh, darlin’. You’re not.”
