Flash Fiction: Flirting With a Vampire

“That won’t keep vampires out,” said Alexander toying with the stand of garlic hanging on the wall.

“It adds flavour to blood?”

“Only if the vampire has a kink. I prefer sugar. Sweet and delicious.”

Sky dropped her partially eaten chocolate bar on the bench. “Do I need to fend you off with a stick?”

Alexander ran his tongue across his fangs. Cute. “You could try – staking or decapitation, lady’s choice.”
