"Of course I do," Dimitri replied with ease, making Megan gasp and move closer to Eldon. He had no doubt that it was so she could protect him easier. She couldn't be afraid…. Not the Megan he knew. "But I don't take it from the unwilling."
"Hi, I'm Eldon," he spoke up and held out his hand to the other man. If he just happened to step between Megan and the vampire, it couldn't be helped. He wasn't trying to separate the two. He had no reason to suspect that this smooth voiced man was trying to pick up another woman. And he knew she could protect herself. He was just trying to be polite, he told himself.
"Eldon…" Dimitri said, as though tasting the word. "Eldon… Hmm…. Dark hair and gray eyes…. As in Sheldon Lance? Son of the hero of the Chaos War, Lyden Snow?"
"Yes," he replied, unsure he liked the fact that a vampire could identify him so easily.
