Dead Sexy (17 page)

I took a deep breath, forcing air down into my lungs, and turned the photograph back over.
There was no mistaking D.S.’s smile. Not when I’d felt those same lips against mine only a few hours earlier.
“I’m older than I look,”
he’d told me. I’d laughed it off at the time; most Biters were older than they looked. Of course, most Biters couldn’t talk in full sentences like D.S. could. They couldn’t dig into a plate of huevos rancheros with the same eager vitality or ignore a bag full of burgers in the car beside them.
Most Biters couldn’t feel pain… or pleasure.
As long as they took care of themselves, Biters became more human the longer they stayed animate… the older they got.
An electronic key card beeped outside the hotel room and the door opened.
I looked up straight into D.S.’s green eyes, a full-color version of the photo in my hand. With his wry smiles and wicked remarks, D.S. was more human than a lot of people I knew.
How old was he?
