amazing, such a contrast to the noisiness of the day.
She tiptoed back down the stairs, so as not to disturb Megan and Bea now they were in bed, and saw Daniel waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. He looked sexy in that leather jacket, now lacking that earlier bulge - she wondered what it had contained.
He was tall, and dressed as he was, all in black - he looked intimidating standing in her hall. But he smiled up at her, his dark eyes twinkling, and she approached him quickly. Her heart was pounding as she reached for him and he took her in his arms. She looked up and he kissed her hard, pushing her against the wall. Desire flared within her and she clawed at his clothes, pulling them away.
He kissed her jaw and ran kisses down her neck, she heard him breath in deeply, smelling the scent of her blood pumping through her veins.
‘Bite me,’ she said - wondering how it would feel.
She heard his sudden intake of breath, that obviously hadn’t been what he was expecting, but he didn’t waste time arguing with her. He pulled back a little, and Sarah imagined what it must feel like to him as his teeth extended. But before she could process that thought two points of pain pierced her throat. She was the one that gasped. But then the sensation changed from one of pain to pleasure. She felt love radiating from Daniel and heard his voice in her mind - relax - and she instantly did. At that point it was like they were one. Her mind and body blended with his. She felt like she were a part of him, and could feel what her blood was doing to him, strengthening him - filling him with life. At that point she felt herself weaken. He quickly retracted his teeth, pulled out a stake and pierced his own throat.
She quickly met his eyes, feeling a hint of fear, but he guided her mouth to his neck. The moment she tasted his blood her fear subsided and she sucked, his blood filling her with fresh energy. Waves of desire flooded over her, and she also felt them within him. She could sense his want, his excitement.
His blood coursed through her and she felt strong, she took her mouth from his throat and kissed him, tasting her own blood in his mouth. It tasted different on him, seductive rather than metallic.
Full of energy she jumped and wrapped her legs around his hips. He caught her with no effort and raced with her to the sofa, pushing her back. He was on top of her and their eyes were locked together. It was incredible - the connection and intimacy still there from feeding on each other. His blood thrummed in her veins, and hers in his. She saw stars and pulled him to her - kissing him hungrily. It felt like time stood still as they made love. She ran her fingers passionately over his body as he moved inside her, and it was as though their energy and power connected them with every particle in the universe. It was like they were linked on every level possible. The boundaries between dreams and reality collided, filling her with hazy euphoria.
CHAPTER 4
Night had fallen as Sebastian waited for someone, anyone, to step out of that house. He didn’t know why, but something stopped him from entering town - something compelled him to wait on the edge.
He felt eager for life as he waited for one of the warm bodies to leave. He was eager to feel again, to think. Eager for blood.
The moment his desire for life was at its peak, the front door opened and light radiated out into the night. A man stepped out, on his own. Sebastian wasted no time - he concentrated hard and swooped in. His energy took the form of a bat, yet a bat that could not feel, not be stopped by anything. He swooped straight into the man’s heart, and let his energy go - filling him with his essence.
Sebastian felt it had worked instantly as he didn’t drift out of the body. He stayed there - his essence combining with the man - taking over his body and his mind.
He stayed stock still, waiting for the changes to be complete, waiting until he had control of every cell, muscle and neuron.
A slow smile spread across his face - the process was
