“Oh God…thank you!”
It’s the worst possible thing that could have happened. He acted without thinking, moved as if he were still an avatar, still a man to speak of. He moved like a Brother and he followed the female scream as he walked down the street.
Tommy staked the vampire accosting the young woman that was even now embracing him like a lifeline…but she wasn’t out of danger yet.
Shutting his eyes, he clenched his jaw and forced himself to forget what was waiting just below the surface. Damn Sassy for showing him, for making him feed and giving him that first taste of warm, sweet blood…
What made it worse was the fact that it was Sassy’s blood he craved.
He embraced the victimized girl, and wished for Sassy’s soft curves instead of these flat, scrawny planes. Rubbing her back gently, running his fingers through her short tawny hair, he imagined Sassy’s long, silky raven hair.
“You’re okay.” He soothed, fangs digging into his lower lip as his mouth fell open. Pressing his cheek to hers, he could feel the heat of her skin, warmed by blood…
He wondered if she tasted like Sassy did. Warm, rich, sweet and tart as summer fruit…
Someone stop me. Oh God, please someone stop me…
It was an easy thing to call the power, to fill her with light. A young mind filled with dreams, a living heart filled with hope.
“Just relax…you’re okay.” I can’t stop…Jesus, someone help me…
She was limp and warm in his arms. Willing. Alive.
And he was so hungry…
As his hand drifted up and tilted her head to the side, baring her neck to his hungry gaze, he continued to pray for a miracle as his lips drew back from his fangs, his body tensed and prepared to sink his teeth into his trusting charge’s throat.
