Riley's breath caught in his throat midway through Tao's words. He realized now that this was what Marie had been talking about, the secret that had made her suspicious of the vampire. He shrunk back instinctively from him as he walked past him, and followed the vampire's back with his eyes until he disappeared out of the room. Left alone with his own thoughts, he was able to calm down somewhat and think over what Tao had said. It only took him a few moments to realize the truth. He let out a growl and tossed his head, then quickly strode after the vampire. He caught Tao in the hall and immediately reached out a hand to grab the vampire by the back of the neck.
"Stupid vampire," He growled, "I want to come back here." With all the strength in him he reached around to Tao's waist and pulled him in to crush their lips together.
