Word Count: 224 words
. in the silence we lie .
At first, there's a burn; sort of like if you hold your hand too close to a candle. Seth is used to it; it might make him wince but it's worth it. There's the burn from the venom and the sharp pain of fangs sinking into flesh, but it's over quickly - like a needle.
The feel of Marcus drinking his blood is euphoric.
He can't be sure if it's because they're mates or imprints or if it has anything at all to do with that, he just knows that it's very pleasurable. Convincing Marcus that he doesn't mind is difficult - the vampire seems so sure that it's painful and that Seth is just lying to him to make him feel comfortable with coming to him about his thirst.
To Seth, it doesn't matter - the pain is miniscule in comparison to how he feels - and all he wants is for Marcus to be happy and it doesn't hurt. He enjoys it and knows that his blood holds the strongest draw for the vampire, he doesn't mind sharing if it could possibly mean keeping him from taking another human life. So maybe it's a little selfish and self-sacrificing, but he trusts Marcus and counts the act as just another intimacy between them.
A little blood seems like a small price to pay.
FIN.
