The Green's Hill Novellas (2016)
“In fact, he was better at it than most angels. He was so good at it that it took Shepherd a while to figure out that he was letting Jefi win.
When the vampire asked the two of them if they’d like to play, it was almost like he was offering them something, throwing them a bone. Well, these two blokes don’t seem too inept, maybe I’ll go play with them and make them feel better. The really pathetic thing was, Shep and Jefi just sort of jumped at the chance, waggling their tails and turning their puppy-smiling muzzles up to him in supplication.
It sure beat making him cry, that was for damned sure.
He talked to them as they were playing, and they learned more and more of the complicated life that made up Adrian’s past. They learned that his passionate love affair with the little human girl (who was not so human, he assured them) had lasted a terribly short time before he’d died. They learned that he and Green had been lovers for nearing two centuries and that he and Bracken had been lover...s but had never really meant to be forever that way.MoreLess
