"Can I see your fangs again?" Valerie asked. "Er . . ." Justin said, then spotted Anders and smiled with relief. "Anders, buddy. Show your woman your fangs." "Shy, Bricker? You?" Anders asked dryly, moving forward again as Valerie glanced around to smile at him. "Nah. I just don't want to show you up by letting her see how much bigger my fangs are than yours," Justin responded. "Actually, I saw Anders's fangs at his house this afternoon and they're bigger than yours," Valerie said at once, and then as Anders reached her side, she glanced at him and asked, "Why? Is it like big fangs, big feet, big--?" Anders put an end to her question by kissing her naughty mouth. God, he loved this woman."
