After this night with Zhan, which I must admit was really very nice, it was time to think about what I should say to the wife of the man I was supposed to observe and who had then been killed in the forest by the two black wolves.

But first there was another problem to solve! Zhan was hungry and I had only blood at home. While I refused to get up and go shopping with him, he ignored my refusal. He pulled me out of bed and dragged me behind him to the bathroom while I kept saying, "I don't want to. I don't. I don't like you anymore." It was no use, he took me into the shower and washed me there.

After we were dressed and I had drunk my blood, we left the apartment and immediately ran into my neighbor and her 3 year old daughter. She looked at me and blushed. "Good morning Yibo. So I see you have a boyfriend now?" She asked me.

But before I could answer her, little Chu held her arms up and wanted me to lift her up. "Tschibo, Tschibo lift me up." She called out. She has a cute speech impediment that always makes me smile.

Then when little Chu saw Zhan, she asked me, "Who is that?"

I said, "That's Zhan. He's staying here with me at the moment."

"Oh TschanTschan. He is so pretty." She said.

When Zhan smiled at her and he put his face very close to hers, she blushed and said she liked TschanTschan. And then she looked into his eyes and said, " Tschu likes the eyes." She touched his face with her little hand and said it was nice and warm.

My neighbor didn't know what to say at all, because usually little Chu is not so open to strangers. And then my neighbor took a closer look at Zhan and looked deep into his eyes. She immediately turned red in the face again and as if absent-mindedly said, "What wonderful eyes. Fascinating and so beautiful."

Zhan smiled and touched her cheek. Thanks to my vampire senses, I could hear her heart begin to race. Then, as Zhan moved closer to her face, I put little Chu down, grabbed Zhan's hand, and dragged him along with me. I called out to my confused neighbor that we were in a hurry and dragged Zhan after me into the stairwell.

Then in the stairwell, I stopped and slapped both hands against Zhan's chest. "What was that about?" I asked him angrily.

"Did that bother you?" He asked me cheekily.

"Yes, it bothered me."

"Why? Were you jealous? Didn't you say earlier that you didn't like me anymore?"

"Um. YOU! That was my neighbor! Don't play games with her!"

"I'm not."

"Oh yeah, then what was that just now? Why were you flirting with her?"

"I wasn't. I just wanted to show you something."

"Ah yes as if!"

"Yes. I wanted to..."

"I don't want to know that alright!? Let's go shopping now!"

"Yes, all right."

"And don't ever do that again! Or I'll get really mad!"

"Okay."

"Tell me, was that one of your skills Zhan?"

"In a way, yes. But really, it's more in how you look at someone."

"You say that."

"That's so."

"Then prove to me that it works on others." I said with a big mouth. And he stood in front of me and looked deep into my eyes. My knees immediately went all soft and my heart went violently badum, badum. And when he also came closer with his face and touched my cheek, everything in me screamed, Kiss me damn! And he kissed me.

"Well, proof enough?"

"Asshole!" I replied and ran down the stairs.

Once downstairs, I saw that everything was white again. Apparently it must have snowed again the previous night. The sky was overcast and I was a little relieved that I didn't have to worry about the sun's rays.

We went to the supermarket around the corner from me. Zhan bought some groceries and I wandered along the aisles like this, not looking for anything in particular. I then stopped at the magazines and took out a magazine about motorcycles. I flipped through it and looked at the pictures of the motorcycles as someone approached me.

I turned around to the person and I noticed a very familiar scent from this person, this older man. He smiled and said, "You are the boy I saved last year. Wang Yibo, aren't you?"

"Oh then you are Zhan's grandfather?" I asked excitedly.

"That's exactly who I am. How fortunate that you could arrange to come here. I'm afraid I don't have that much time right now, so I asked Zhan to bring you here and we can have a quick talk." So this was planned by Zhan and he wanted to surprise me with it?

"It makes me so happy. I've wanted to thank you for so long for saving my life."

"I was happy to do that, and it's my duty, after all. And I have to tell you, I'm really proud of you for the way you've handled it all. You must have had a hard time at first. But still, you made it."

"True, I suffered a lot in the beginning."

"I can well understand that."

"You didn't kill me then and gave me a chance. I'm more than grateful to you for that."

"You are still so young. I didn't want to kill you. And I'm glad I didn't. Because when I look at my grandson, how happy he's been since he met you, it makes my heart pound."

"Wasn't he happy before?"

"No. Not really. He was unhappy. His first boyfriend was killed by a pack of half-breeds 10 years ago, and he's been very lonely ever since. For us wolves, it's not easy to find the right mate. It has to be someone very special."

"And when that mate has been found?"

"Well, usually we imprint on our mates. It's like a pact for eternity. Once we've imprinted on someone, we stay loyal to them for life."

"And had Zhan imprinted on his boyfriend from back then?"

"No. And that was just good, too."

"I see. Because if he had imprinted on him, then Zhan could never be with anyone else again, right?"

"Right. But still, we were worried. Because he was lonely and we were already afraid he'd never find a real mate. But then he met you."

"Well... so. So far we're not a couple. And I also wonder if vampires and werewolves can really be mates?"

"Of course. After all, we wolves are in our human form most of the time. So the mating thing works out pretty well, if you know what I mean."

"Um yeah. I understand."

"I'm afraid I have to get going now. I have a few more important things to take care of. Oh yes, about the man who died last night. We've already taken care of that. We went to the wife's house and pretended that her husband ran off with my daughter. That way you don't have to make an excuse."

"Oh I understand. Thank you."

"I know you're working as a private detective now and Zhan won't leave your side. So feel free to involve him in your work. I'm sure he'll be useful to you."

"I'll be very happy to do that."

"I'll be going now then. And if I may ask you for one more thing?"

"Sure."

"Be good to my grandson. He is my pride and joy and I couldn't bear to see him hurt. Oh, and if you drink his blood please make sure you don't suck him dry. Haha."

"Um haha. I'll be careful."

"Good. It was a pleasure to see you again. Glad you're doing well. I'm sure I'll see you again soon." Said Zhan's grandfather. He shook my hand and said goodbye.

When he left, I put the motorcycle magazine back on the shelf and went to find Zhan. He was already waiting for me at the exit. I saw his grandfather talking to him. He patted Zhan's cheek with a smile and hugged him before leaving. The two of them really seem to have a close bond. But probably that goes for the whole pack.

I joined Zhan and we were about to go back to the apartment when my cell phone rang. One of my clients was calling me to tell me that her husband had just left the house and left in a cab. At first I thought it was just about lunchtime. Maybe he is going to work. After all, she told me that he works three shifts.

But the wife told me that her husband was on vacation for the whole week and she just happened to notice that he left because she had some papers at home that she needed for a presentation at the office, so she went home and saw him leaving.

I told her that I would follow him. Zhan looked at me and nodded. Thanks to his good hearing, I didn't have to explain to him what it was about. We quickly brought the groceries home, I looked at the GPS data of her husband and then we went on our way. Since it was daytime and I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself, we didn't take my motorcycle, but the car my brother gave me before he moved to America.

Zhan did the driving and I looked at my tablet to see where the husband was headed. Since he was driving a cab, I didn't assume he was going to stop at a street prostitution place and get a prostitute there. But then where was he going?

The arrow on the tablet stopped in an area of wealth. We arrived almost at the same time as the husband with the cab. He looked around to all sides and then walked toward one of the expensive row houses. Zhan and I saw him ring the front doorbell and a pretty woman opened the door. She also looked around to all sides and then let him into the house.

Zhan and I reached the house and looked through one of the windows. I took my cell phone and took a picture of the bastard kissing the woman. "Another piece of unfaithful shit." I muttered softly.

Suddenly, Zhan took my hand and smiled. "Not everyone is like that." He whispered.

I took the pictures of the man and then sent them to his wife, as requested by the wife. She wrote me back that this was his boss's daughter and she couldn't believe he was really cheating on her. How many times have I heard this now?

All the women who hired me because they suspected their husband was cheating on them said afterwards that they couldn't believe it. I asked her if these pictures were enough or if she needed more. She wanted more pictures. Everyone is hurt when they realize they are being cheated. But still these pictures are not enough for them. They want more, they want to see everything.

I showed Zhan the woman's answer and he shook his head. I think he thought the same as me. That the cheated wife, would only feel worse about it.

Thanks to our good senses, Zhan and I could hear what they were talking about. I was amazed at what I heard. Because the man said, "Listen. This is really the last time today yes? You know I still love my wife and I don't want her to catch me someday and leave me."

"How is she going to catch you here with me hmm?" Asked the young woman.

"I don't know. She's suspected something for a long time. She always looks at me so thoughtfully. And when I just want to hug her, she immediately recoils. She even prefers to sleep in the living room than with me." Explained the man.

"I don't understand you. You say you love your wife. But you keep cheating on her because she can't fulfill your sexual desires. She doesn't even know about your fetish. Even if you end this now. How long do you think you'll last before you can't stand it again because you can't live out your fetish?"

"What do I know. I love my wife very much and I don't want to lose her. But I can't tell her about my fetish. I'm afraid she'll be disgusted by me." Replied the man.

Zhan suddenly took my cell phone and wrote to the wife: "Your husband's cheating is not about feelings, but only about sex. He has a fetish that he doesn't dare tell you about because he's afraid you'll get disgusted and leave him. So before you think about a breakup, you should talk to him. I can't take more pictures because they stopped kissing and didn't go any further. For that they just talked about the fetish and how big his fear is to lose you."

Shortly after came a message from his wife, "Thanks for everything. I will talk to him. Maybe not everything is lost after all. Because, I'm pregnant by him and I don't want to raise our baby alone. Maybe we can work this out. Thank you."

Zhan and I pulled away and in the car I said to Zhan, "Do you really think they can make it?"

"Who knows, maybe? The man really loves his wife. And she loves him. In addition, they are having a baby together. With open conversations and therapy, maybe they could make it work."

"Love mhm? If he loves her so much, why did he cheat on her instead of talking to her?"

"Because it's not always that easy Yibo."

"I see. Let's go home. You must be really hungry."

"Mmm. But more at you."

"I'm not on the menu today."

"Says who?"

"Says me!"

"We'll see about that!"

"I'm telling you Zhan, for flirting with my neighbor, I have to punish you. And that means no sex!"

"I strongly object to that."

"But you can't refuse that."

"I can. And you'll see, I'll make a lot of love to you later. I know you like it when I spoil you."

"Ahem. I'll stay strong and firm this time!" I said and crossed my arms in front of my chest. Zhan leaned over and gave me a kiss. I immediately felt my body turn to wax in his hands again.

"Oh, you and I will surely make love later. You say one thing, but your body says something completely different."

"Unfair!"

"I know. But just admit that you like the sex."

"Mhhh, yes you're right."

"Good, now let's go home and then we'll have lots of sex."

"Alright. But only if you do it with your tongue again."

"Anything you want my cute vampire."

"Then go ahead and hurry up." I said and Zhan grinned.

Yes, yes I admit it. I've gone weak again. I just can't resist Zhan. It's just sex, but it just feels great with Zhan. And since that's the case, why shouldn't I take advantage of it and enjoy the fact that he wants me so much? After all, I get something out of it too.
