“How do I taste?”
“Good.” I ran
my tongue over his lips. He opened them for me as
he slipped out of his jeans all the way. My tongue
moved against his teeth as they lengthened. I caressed
them, running my tongue over the tips, remembering
the pain of them in my throat and how good it felt
when he sucked. My insides grew hot as my whole
body ached for him. I shoved him down on the bed,
exploring his body with my hands, loving how it
contrasted against the burning heat of my own. My
lips found his neck and began to bite, my tongue
licked up and down his jugular vein, and I craved
to be able to bite and take his blood. As that desire
spread through me, I felt a shifting in my mouth.
My teeth ached and pressed through my gums as they
grew, but just a little, getting baby points. They
scraped along Julien’s throat. He jumped,
pushing me away and I smiled, showing him my infant
fangs.
“Soon you’ll be
completely mine. My one and only true child. Does
that frighten you to be truly awakened?”
Why would I be scared to be
with him? He had shown me a reality I’d never
dreamed about. I wanted to believe that was why
I had been so terrified of my dream for so many
years, that I denied the part of myself that craved
blood. If I had known it was going to be like this,
then I would have indulged in it long ago. Brenna
had been wrong. She may have had encounters with
vampires, but she knew nothing of the ecstasy I
felt right at this moment, listening to his heart
beating faintly in my ears, hearing mice scurrying
down the hall, smelling the dank, and rot, and the
mold as it grew along the walls, just being alive.
This was what I was meant to do. To become. This
was what I wanted. As I thought about it, the other
part of me awakened, but decided not to merge with
me, just to observe, looking out through my eyes
as if it were a tourist.
“No. It’s what
I want.”
“Good.”
His lips curled as he pulled
me down on top of him. His lips were hungry, seeking
out every exposed piece of my flesh. His nails dug
into my back, and everything about me wanted him.
He must have sensed this because he rolled me over
and then was on top of me, kissing me, running his
tongue over my teeth. Obsessed hands groped my tits,
massaging them, pinching the nipples between his
thumb and forefingers hard enough to leave snowflake
bruises. Sharp nails cut into my chest as his tongue
shifted, growing long as he smashed his mouth into
mine. I moved my hands along his back, feeling the
skin moving, the muscles underneath were bunching,
as were the bones. It happened all over his body
as his joints snapped like broken chicken wings.
