.
He noticed a trend in the following weeks. A rash of jobs in rain-soaked places. Kauai. The Colombian rain forest. Monsoon season in Thailand. She was no longer an indoor Slayer when it rained. Something had changed.
The moment that first drop hit, she shed her inhibitions like an outer skin, became someone born anew.
Free.
It was liberating at first. He’d been such a good little vamp. Been the man she needed him to be. But now she wanted to play on the dark side, try on his world, and that was okay by him.
There were experiments in techniques he couldn’t spell and positions that had no name and games that his sire would have enjoyed, nothing holding his Slayer back but the limits of their imagination. Just the scent of rain was enough now to make him so hard he couldn’t walk straight, couldn’t think straight.
She was the willing instigator, so he didn’t worry, happily going along with whatever she wanted to try. Pain and blood and sex? Vampire here. No complaining from him. It was mixed in with enough loving touches and tender glances to set his mind at ease.
What worried him was the rest of it. Shoplifting here, B&E there. Picking fights with Colombian drug lords because she could. Destruction of property for the thrill of it. Never anything that crossed the line, but when he was the one holding the moral compass, the one saying ‘no’, well.
Wasn’t right, was it?
He loved her too much for that.
