Glamour Bites

Ian sat on the couch wearing his normal ripped jeans and tight T-shirt. He looked amazing and I wanted nothing more than to jump him, but the look on his face told me that he wouldn’t be up for that.



I sighed and tossed my purse onto the table by the door. I slipped the heels off and walked farther into the living room flat footed. “It was great, if you must know, Ian. I learned a lot about someone I had previously avoided like the plague.”



He stood and the anger flowed off of him in waves. His eyes were no longer the sweet green streaked eyes he usually had, but wolf amber. I could feel the animal coming off him and moved myself into a defensive position, wishing I had taken my gun out of my purse.



“Are you going to see him again?”



“Yes.”



“Then I guess that means you won’t be seeing me any more.” His nose grew longer and the hands that were held at his side starting to lengthen and claws began to form. This was not going well.



“Ian? Um, don’t make me hurt you.”



“You? Hurt me? You’re nothing but a little witch who thinks she has a great amount of power.” His voice was several octaves lower than normal with a slight growl to it.



“Yes. Me hurt you.” My own anger came to the surface as he growled at me and I could feel my power flying out at him. My fangs started to elongate and I knew that we would be in trouble if they became fully elongated.



“Try it, little girl.” His face was pretty much a wolf’s face now, so I could barely understand him, but I could read his mind and his eyes.



“Fine, but know that once this gets started, I might not be able to stop.” I felt my eyes go complete emerald green as the power overwhelmed me. I lowered my voice and continued. “And that I wanted you. All others are merely friends.”



His expression changed for a minute and softened, but I was too far gone to just turn off the vampyre. “You chose me? Really?”



He began to pull the wolf back into himself, realization dawning on him, but I hissed, a very vampyre thing, and shook my head. “You’ve started this, and I can’t turn it off unless some blood is shed.”



He took a step back, pulling the wolf deeper into himself. “Alexia? Are you alright? What did he do to you?”



I dropped the shoes I had been holding and moved so that my back was against the wall. “He did nothing but befriend me, Ian. I was born this way.”



“Oh! Alexia, this explains so much about our childhood friendship.” He took a step toward me and I lost it all.



I moved across the room at lightening speed and pinned him against a back wall, knocking over the table that had been against it. My fangs were their full length and my eyes were a solid emerald green as they stared at the big pulse in his neck. “I can’t stop myself, Ian. I don’t want to, but if I don’t, I’ll end up killing a human tonight.”



“Then don’t stop yourself, Alexia.” I turned shocked eyes to him, frowning around my fangs. “Take what you need. I would bleed for you to keep you from feeling the guilt of killing a human. It’s a horrible feeling, and I want to spare you.”



I felt the tears well up in my eyes, but I still couldn’t pull the vampyre back into myself. I looked deep into his eyes to make sure that he was telling me the truth. I could easily tell that he was and nodded. “I won’t take a lot, Ian, and I’ll make it as pleasurable as I possibly can.”



Taking blood was an intimate act for vampyres, and being a dunpeal didn’t make it any less intimate for me. It was as pleasurable and seductive as sex for the one taking the blood, but few victims ever got that same pleasure. I would make sure that Ian got that pleasure.



I loosened my grip on him and ran my hand down his arm and then up his chest, pulling his head gently to the side to reveal the long line of his neck.



I laid my lips against the big pulse there and bit down hard, fangs going as deep as possible. He gasped, but it wasn’t from the pain. As soon as my fangs had pierced his skin, I had thrown some pleasure sensors into his body to allow him to feel what I felt.



I locked my mouth around the wound and drank a few mouthfuls, letting the orgasm inducing pheromones fill their bodies. I pulled back just before I took too much and the full force of the pheromones washed over us.



Lowering him gently to the ground, I found my fangs shrinking back to their normal size. Ian had his eyes closed and I was afraid that I had gone too far, though his blood gave me energy and strength like I had never felt.



I pulled back as soon as he was leaning against the wall, afraid to touch him. “Ian? Ian, are you alright? Did I take too much? I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have provoked me. Oh my gods, how am I going to explain this to Cassi?”



Ian smiled, though his eyes were still closed. “Don’t even bother trying to explain it to Cassi, Alexia. I had way too much fun for that to be announced to anyone else.”



He opened his eyes and I sighed in relief, seeing the ultimate pleasure in his eyes. I was still a little leery about touching him, but I didn’t have to worry about that for long because he leaned up and kissed me, putting his hand gently on the back of my head and pulling me to him.



I returned the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck and allowing myself to be pulled into his lap. “So you liked that, huh? Don’t expect a repeat. That only happens when I’m really, really angry and other fangs or claws are involved.”



“Well we might have to find some other way to entertain ourselves with the same effects.” He wiggled his eyebrows at me and kissed me lightly again.



I returned the kiss but pulled back with a sigh. “I recently went through something, Ian, and would really not like to think about that just yet. Maybe after a few more dates?”



He smiled and I could have cried at the care in his eyes. “Of course, Alex. I have to get home anyway. Gabe and Matt will be worried about me. I’m beginning to think that I shouldn’t have moved in with them.”



He stood, pulling me with him, and kissed me as he moved around me. He let go of my hand and kissed me gently again as he headed toward the door. “Tomorrow, about noon, you want to go for lunch somewhere?”



I stood standing in the middle of the living room and nodded. “I would love to, Ian.”



“Good, I’ll pick you up here. Bye.” He opened the door and walked out, closing it gently behind him.



Sighing, I picked up the shoes I had disregarded on the floor and headed to my room, listening to any sound from Cassi’s room. Apparently, she had let Ian in and then left. That was ok, I’d talk to her about it later.



I walked into my room and tossed the shoes onto the bed, pulling my dress over my head and heading into the bathroom. I turned the water on as hot as I could stand it and stepped under it, letting the water run down my body.



I had always felt such disgust when I fed off someone, and feeding off someone I cared for always made me feel worse. But what had Ian meant when he said that he didn’t want me to feel the guilt of killing a human? Had he killed someone before? Would it matter?



I heard the thump of the front door closing just over the sound of the water around me. I turned the water off and heard her bedroom door open and close quickly.



Shrugging it off, I went into my room and pulled on some regular cotton bikini briefs and a tank top, which served as my usual pajamas. I ran a brush through my hair and headed into the living room, toward Cassi’s room.



I opened the door without knocking and started to speak before I was completely in. “Cassi, we need to talk. Why did you let Ian …? Oh my gods.”



I turned my back quickly and bit my lip, trying not to giggle at the sight of Cassi and Harper tangled in a naked heap. They had apparently been at it for a while, and I had walked right into it.



“Um, sorry, guys. I think I’ll just, um, leave you to it. Happy trails!” I died laughing before I could get the door completely closed.



I heard the heavy thump of a shoe hitting the door and laughed even harder, trying to get the image of Cassi with her legs in the air out of my head. Then again, I now knew that Harper had a really nice ass, as I had now seen it bare and bouncing enthusiastically above Cassi.



I shook my head, getting the giggles out of my system, and went back into my room. I had the blood in my stomach making me feel lightheaded and sleepy, so I curled up into the middle of my bed, images of Ian as well as Cassi and Harper running through my head.
