Chapter 347: Day Six at the Beach - Verchiel, Part 1
Verchiel leaned back in the hot tub and peered over his sunglasses. The accessories were pointless at night, but he was determined to embrace everything about the island getaway. Just because he was a vampire didn't mean he should have to miss out.
A broad shouldered vampire with long, black hair strolled past, a blonde human female on his arm. Verchiel grinned and waved. "Hey, Jorick! Kately! Check it out!"
Jorick turned and gave Verchiel a cold once over, and Katelina said, "It's a hot tub. We've seen it the last five days we were here."
"Yeah, but you haven't been in it!" He reached for the control panel and turned on the jets. "Look at this!" he shouted over the noise. "I'm almost floating away!"
"We could only hope," Jorick said.
Verchiel switched the jets off. "That's not very nice. Here I am, inviting you to join me for some relaxing socializing, and I get rude comments. I don't know."
