Vampire Scent

"Morons" she said aloud as she tossed the book to the floor. She despised reading the new things people wrote about, but did it to keep up on the latest news. She slumped in her chair, uneasy and restless. Her meeting with Ashton this evening had her worried. The Alzu was something she had never personally had to deal with, and she didn’t know how to handle it. The fact something was invading her mind so, also bothered her. She stood and walked to her window, opening it she let some cool air in, the scent was almost over whelming. She only fed when absolutely nessesery but that didn't stop the thurst she felt constantly. She missed the days when she could feed and no one would notice the person missing. These days, it was harder. She took in the scent of the people below her, arching her body she let it invade her being. Her body racked with the pain of needing to feed. She was getting used to that pain. She inhaled deeply now, catching his scent. Coming back to reality she turned slowly.
"Ashton"
"Valeera" he said smiling he walked toward her slowly, taking his coat off he laid it over a chair, he sat casually as though he should be there
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to discuss the matter at hand further" he said calmly
"And which matter do you speak of? The rival clan trying to take over, or the rat people"
"I don't think you fully understand the magnitude of this Valeera, this threat is bigger than each of us alone, if we combine forces, perhaps we can win"
"We discussed that already Ashton, and I agreed" She did not like they were on the same side, it made her life very difficult. She had made a habit of hating him, hate she had discovered, was easier.
"Did you?" he knew her better than she liked to admit "Or did you just say that thinking it made me vulnerable?" He smirked at her. Thoughts of them invaded his mind. She was dressed in a tank top and shorts, nothing else. Her hair was loose, assaulting him with the scent of lavender. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She swallowed hard, hating he could read her so well.
""I will do what is necessary for my clan, and myself. I told you I would help you, that alone should be good enough" she turned away from him. He moved faster than she had time to react. He was on her, pushing her into the wall. His breath forced. He was on her back holding her arms against the wall, her cheek against the wall itself. "Your temper gets the better of you Ashton"
He put his weight against her and she almost moaned. His groin pressed harder against her, his hands wrapped tightly around her wrists and his mouth close to her ear, his breath hitting her neck. As much as she hated to admit it to herself, she absolutely loved this. He could feel her muscles twitch in enjoyment, as her behind tightened and loosened against his weight. He smiled to himself, pressing against her so she could feel what was constrained in his jeans. She bit her lower lip trying to bring the hate back up into her being. She was failing and they both knew it. Instead of pressing the matter further he whispered in her ear, something that would get the rise out her he wanted.
"You try my patience women, I could rip you apart and your clan would be unable to stop me, I could end this whole charade of us being friends, or whatever it is we think we were. I could end it now." She could feel his grip tighten, though his groin had backed away from her behind. She had to ignore every instinct of pressing her ass outward to find it’s welcoming warmth and weight
"I beg of you…..do it......if you have ever loved me, you would do it" "I beg of you…..do it......if you have ever loved me, you would do it" her response completely surprised him. He loosened his grip, and she knew he was remembering them so long ago. She took advantage throwing her weight back into him. Her elbow caught him in the mouth and he staggered back, still in a bit of shock. She hit him again with a punch directly in the mouth. His head snapped back and then slowly came forward. A smile across his now bleeding lips. "You forget your place wolf" She could see the fight flash in his eyes, he was getting ready to attack. She readied herself but he was too quick. He tackled her quickly slamming her body into the ground. He straddled her, his face to hers, teeth bared. He was in the dominant position now, and he was letting her know it.


"And you forget yours leech" for a moment she was lost to his power, she did not want to hurt him, and in fact doubted she could "All I want to do is make a truce with you, why must everything with you be so damned difficult?"

"And you forget yours women" for a moment she was lost to his power, she did not
"You know as well as I" she challenged
He released her arms, slowly got up and offered his hand, she accepted almost pulling him back down. She stood now, looking at him, she saw his lip was bleeding from where she had punched him her desire to feed started to take over her
"You need to leave Ashton" she felt the pain of needing to feed taking over, her fangs come through, her eyes turned from their coral blue to oil black. Ashton felt what was happening, he had after all been her meal before, he knew the signs.
"I can feed you" he told her
She smiled at him
"I don't think that is a good idea Ashton, you and I both know what happens next" she doubled over in pain. He walked to her now, slowly so she knew he wasn't trying to take advantage of her vulnerability. Lifting her he carried her to her bedroom, he laid her down and laid next to her, rolling up the sleeve of his shirt he offered his arm.
"No" she argued
"Valeera, you need to feed, you have no time to find someone, I can help you" he stroked her hair
She wanted to argue and fight, but she knew he was telling the truth. She had only moments until the pain was so debilitating it would paralyze her. Reluctantly she pulled herself to him.
"Your chest would be better" she told him "This bite will leave a mark remember"
He had in fact forgotten, he sat up and pulled the shirt he was wearing off. Her mind was to fuzzy to take him in completely but what she could focus on made her mind race. He was the sight of pure perfection. His chest massive with the body that held a wolf inside. He laid back now taking her with him. She rested her head on his chest for a moment, she listened to his heartbeat, she could hear his heart pumping his blood through his veins, the sound was inviting and familiar, smiling she sank her teeth as close to his heart as she could. The blood rushed into her mouth, she drank greedily from him, sucking hard. He grunted in pain as her teeth connected, The pain was excruciating, he grabbed onto the bed sheets for support, but wanted to tear her head from his body. She felt him tense under her bite. She smiled. It was always more satisfying when her meal was uncomfortable. She could ease the pain if she wanted, it was a simple mind game really, but she liked the fact that Ashton was feeling pain. He grew weak from her feeding, fearing complete loss of control he spoke
"Valeera" he whispered "you must stop"
She ignored him, her need to feel his blood in her mouth muted anything he said
"Valeera, please"
It was the please that made her realize what she was doing. Stopping she pulled away from him. He looked down and grimaced when he saw the puncture marks.
"Ow" he smiled at her "That pain never gets easier does it?" he laid back a moment
"Sorry" her eyes locked with his a moment "I'll be back" she left him in the bed, going into the bathroom she soaked a towel in warm water, washing her mouth off she rinsed it again. Walking back to him the light from the bathroom soaking her, she stopped when she saw Ashton smiling
"What?" she asked
"Nothing…..It's just….with the light behind you there, you look like an angel" he grimaced again
"Far from it" she walked to him and laid the towel on the marks
"Ah, hot. hot" he said as the towel connected
"It will help slow the bleeding" she said tenderly he watched her as she tended him. Her cheeks were flushed now, she had color in her face. Her movements precise and focused. Without thinking he put his hand to her face, lightly touching her, she backed away quickly. Looking at him.
"You know better" she warned
"Aye, I do" grabbing her by the hair now, he pulled her face to his, his lips connected to hers "doesn't mean I follow the rules" he kissed her again, with meaning this time, he crushed his mouth on hers, she greedily accepted. He leaned up now, pulling her to him, she fit perfectly in his arms, as though they were made to hold her. She held him tightly, he released her mouth now, moving to her neck he nuzzled her first taking In her scent, underneath the perfume and lotion she wore was her the vampire, the wolf in him threatened to come, her scent caused the automatic reaction in him. He growled slightly.
Biting into her neck he growled again. A slight trickle of blood flowed from the wound, grabbing her by the arms, he forced her under him, looking at her now, she could feel he pain he held.
"I can't" grabbing his shirt he walked out. She heard the door close. Staring at the ceiling she sighed. She would have cried if she could have. Instead she put the pillow on her face and screamed The hatred they felt for each other was only going to end when one of them died, and even then, she doubted they could be at totally at peace.
