“I…we bite. During sex, we bite our partners. If that makes you squeamish or scared, I won’t. I’ll be careful and not bite you. I won’t lie to you Madison, the thought of sinking my fangs into your vein and drinking from you while I’m inside of you is the most erotic thing I’ve ever imaged.” He was panting. She knew just how he felt. She wanted him to rip the clothes from her and take was nearly crippling her. And his scent was making her nearly wild with his need to taste her.

Maddy looked at him and was overwhelmed with need. Need to touch, taste, and to feel.

She reached down to the hem of her tee shirt and pulled it up and over her head, tossing it over to where he had thrown his own shirt. She reached up to the front clasp of her bra and unhooked it, but he stayed her hands when she made to remove it too. Reverently he traced her skin along the top of it and to the opening. Without taking his eyes from hers, he pulled the ends apart to free her from the material. He kissed her, a small brush of his lips against her once, twice then pulled her to him, crushing her breasts to him. As he swept his tongue into her mouth, he palmed her breasts, both of them in his hands and sank them onto the bed.

“Mine.”

Chapter Fifteen

Kyle rolled to his side and looked down at the woman beside him. He marveled again at her body, now his. He ran his hand down her waist and just to the top of her pants where the zipper was still halfway up. Slowly, back and forth he touched her. Then pinching the small tab between his fingers he leaned down and ran his hot tongue over the stiffened peak of her nipple.

When she bowed up, pressing more of her full breast into his mouth, he suckled at her hard, pulling her deeper in. Once the zipper was pulled completely down, he dipped his finger into her pants, past her panties and into her creamy heat. Her moan was like a hot knife being driven into him, his cock strained to be free and into her.

He sat up now, and stood at the side of the bed, just between her legs which were hanging off the bed at her thighs. He reached down and pulled her pants down her legs and off, dropping them behind him with their other clothes. Her panties were the only thing she had on. He knew that he wouldn’t last much longer if they were completely bare so leaving his pants on, he sank down to his knees before her.

Maddy leaned up on her elbows to watch him. His eyes were deep, deep red the red tinge looking at her made him realize that he was close to his beast. The part of him that wanted to take without permission to take what he needed what he wanted.

“I want to taste you. No, I need to taste you. Please, baby.”

His hands on her waist, he slowly moved them down to her panties and to the small scrap of silky material between her thighs. He moved enough away to touch the curls beneath and to slid his finger up the seam of her nether lips, gathering her wetness as he did. When he exposed her clit, he leaned in and ran his tongue along the same path and teased the tiny nub. Her legs stiffened and tightened around his head, her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him tighter and deeper to her.

“Kyle, please, I’m begging you, please, help me please, please, please.”

“Madison, Christ, I…Fuck.” He stood up and tore the zipper completely out of his pants and jerked them from him, his cock leaped toward her. He fisted himself, jerking his hand up and down, harder, faster. “I don’t think…that’s an understatement, I don’t want to hurt you love, but I need to be inside of you, I can’t wait, now, I need you now.”

She reached out and wrapped her hand around him, it was hot and he felt his entire body react to her touch. Before he could protest or even whimper at what she was doing to him, she ran her tongue up his shaft and then wrapped her lips around his blood filled crown.

His release hit him hard and he roared with it, her wet heat, her tongue was too much. He grabbed the back of her head and held her tight as he pumped into her, fucking her mouth hard.

He couldn’t stop; he came and came, his cock and his cum hitting the back of her throat, gagging her.

His cock still hard, still straining for the ultimate release, he lifted her by her waist.

Instinctively she settled her legs around him, pulling her up then down onto his cock, he slammed into her. Maddy screamed from the pain, the intrusion, but he didn’t stop, couldn’t.

Over and over he pumped her, slamming her hard against him, onto him. When her legs tightened around him, he fell onto the bed with her beneath him. He never stopped, moving inside of her faster and faster he went.

“Now Kyle, please, bite me now, yes now. I…I, oh god yes.” Maddy’s climax hit her and with another scream she brought Kyle with her. While his seed poured into her body, his body convulsed inside of her, Kyle tilted her head, exposed her throat and bit her deep in her vein, bringing them both to peak again.

Drinking from her, tasting the spicy hot blood that was her filled him. He knew that for the rest of his days she would sustain him, fill him. When he’d taked all he dared he sealed the tiny prick marks with his tongue and then kissed the tiny wound with a lingering kiss.

Breathing hard, he rolled over onto his back, bringing her with him and tucked her tightly in next to him. His body was covered in sweat and her, and he’d never been happier. He heard her breathing and felt her shutters still racking her slight body. He must have hurt her, he’d been a mad man, uncaring if he’d hurt her or not. Well, that wasn’t true, he did care, but Christ when she’d taken him into her hot mouth, he’d thought he’d explode. He gently ran his hand down her spine, pulling her up his body; he leaned to his side to see her face. Her eyes were closed and relaxed. Tiling her chin up he heard her snore, just a tiny little puff of air, but certainly a snore.

Her car was a mess, old and in need of replacing. And there was no way she could live in that building. Not only was it in the worse part of town, but even in the short time he’d been there knew that it was the place to go to get any drugs you wanted. The job was the next thing that had to go, she couldn’t work for a bar, a strip bar any longer. The fact that she carried a gun and had a need to scared him too much to think about. No, she and him would need to sit down and map out a plan and very soon. He’d have to ask Aaron tomorrow if he could stay in this realm, and then go about finding a suitable home for the two of them.

He fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Chapter Sixteen

Maddy woke not ten minutes after Kyle had mapped out their entire future and then fallen asleep. She wouldn’t have been happy, but in this case, ignorance is bliss. At least for the time being.

She carefully moved out from under his heavy arm and slipped out of the bed. The room was black as pitch, as they were in some sort of sub levels of the basement and there were no windows. Moving quietly, she gathered up her clothes she could find and went to the bathroom and cleaned up. Pulling her hair back into a haphazard ponytail, she went to the door and after opening it, she left to wander around the halls. It hadn’t been her plan to do that, but she didn’t know the area down here, and had made several wrong turns before finding a staircase up to the main floor.

She decided she wasn’t going to think about what had happened, what they had done, what she had done until she got home. But she knew that the sooner she got out the better she’d feel. Stopping in the kitchen, she made herself a cup of hot tea, using a cup from the strainer and the tea from the ceramic container on the counter. The microwave ‘ding’ nearly made her scream, and when Duncan walked in just as she was sitting down for a minute, she did make a small yelping noise.

“Oh, Miss. I did not…you are here. I was not expecting any…I’m sorry, may I fix you something to eat, I’m sure you must be very hungry.” He didn’t wait on an answer, but began pulling things from the refrigerator and assembling the makings for what appeared to be an omelet.

She was glad his back was to her, because her face had flamed when he assumed she’d be very hungry, which probably meant that he knew she had spent the night in Kyle’s bed. Shit, shit, shit.

“Should probably take out an ad in the local rag,” she mumbled to herself. She should have known that he’d hear her.

“Did you say something Miss? The children will be down soon. They have school you know. Her Ladyship will transport them in to the school and the rest of the morning will be hers if you would need to speak to her.”

“Mr. Duncan, are you trying very nicely to tell me that Mrs. MacManus could answer any questions I might have about the fact that I’ve just had sex with a vampire and what happens now that he’s bit me? That’s very sweet of you, but I really need to go home. I have to shower and I’ve got lots of things to do for the gentlemen today.” She was just rinsing her cup out when a whirl wind that resembled two small kids flew into the room, with a very sedate mother behind them.

“Maddy,” shouted the children in unison. “You’re still here. You should see what we’re doing in school today.” For the next twenty minutes while they ate their breakfast and talked about what they had been doing in school, organized devastation reigned.

“I’ve been wanting to talk to you. I got’s your message from you Grammie still. Want I should give it to you now?” Maddy had completely forgotten about that. Mac had told her the night they had told her about what they were.

“I guess. But I don’t know how you know her.”

“She came to me. She told me that you have to remember what she told you. You have to fight and to…hummm…I don’t remember the last thing. But I know she’ll be coming back.

She’s been here, like every day since you come over. I have to tell her I ain’t seen you and she gets all sad. I’ll ask her the next time, will you be coming back home tonight?”

Maddy looked up to see Sara looking at her with a raised brow. Maddy hadn’t planned on coming back anytime soon, and couldn’t think why they’d want her to, or for that matter why they’d think she would. She and Kyle had only had sex, it was great sex, but it was just sex, that didn’t make them married or anything.

“Hummm, no Mac, I’m not coming back tonight. I have to work.” She didn’t miss the look that past between Sara and Duncan, but decided it didn’t matter, she had to work.

“What’s this, my favorite children are going off to school without a hug to their papa??

Oh what ever shall I do?” Aaron’s timing was just a little too soon to suit Maddy, and tried to make a hasty exit before he started asking question as well. Or worse yet, Kyle decided to make an appearance.

“Thank you for breakfast Mr. Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. MacManus, you have a lovely day.

I’m outta here.” She moved to the door and grabbed her jacket and shoes.

“A word Ms. Harm if you please? We need to have a talk about what happened last night.” Maddy’s face couldn’t have gotten any hotter if he’d of threw a flame at her. “I meant at the bar, your former place of employment. I assume that at some point last night Kyle and you talked about the fact that that job is not safe for you any longer.”

“No, we didn’t discuss it, because like you, it isn’t any of his business. No one dictates to me Mr. MacManus, not him and especially not you.”

“Call me Aaron. And in this matter I insist that—”

“No, I won’t call you Aaron. You can insist all you want, but I’m helping you with a project, and nothing more. I don’t expect to be invited to barbeques, nor should you expect a Christmas card from me. What has happened between Kyle and I is just that, between Kyle and I.

Now, I have to go get tires on my car and I have a job, and some things to do for you guys. I’ll let you know by phone what happens with the appointments.”

“You work for us, and as my employee you will—”

“I do not work for you. I offered you my help and I’ll follow through on my promise to help you with the buildings. But I don’t work for you. Now, I’m leaving. Mac, Lizzy you have fun at school.”

She opened the door and walked out to her car. She was shaking, from anger or nerves, she wasn’t sure. She was half afraid he’d drain her or something. She’d never fought with a vampire before and didn’t know if they fought fair or not. When she got to the end of the drive, she pulled over to the side of the road and threw up all that nice breakfast Duncan had prepared just for her. Working for the dangerous bar was looking safer and safer to her all the time. She made her way over to see Danny, her favorite normal person.

“How much do I owe you?” With last night’s tip and the money from the whole week she had almost five hundred in cash. Along with the tires, she got her oil changed and the funky noise looked at too. It was a lot of money, but she needed something reliable and it looked like this was it.

“Maddy I’ll make you a deal, you represent me in my case Tuesday morning with that broad that says I made a pass at her and I’ll overhaul the engine for you. You just pay for parts and the tires.” Danny was the only person she knew who could work miracles on her car. Her Grammie had trusted him too. And she knew that he hadn’t made any kind of advance on the woman, Danny was gay and had been with the same partner for nearly thirty years.

“What if I lose? It doesn’t sound like you’re getting a very good deal here.” She wasn’t worried about losing. She just didn’t want him to depend on her too much. Actually, she wasn’t sure she wanted anyone to depend on her so much.

“Nah, I’m not worried. Deal?” She shook his hand on the deal and made arrangements to leave her car with him. He even threw in the use of his old clunker truck for her to get around in for the next several days.

Her next stop was the apartment building. The landlord would only replace the door if she caught up with her rent, being two months behind sort of made him testy. “Go figure.” She was standing outside her room when Frank showed up.

“Mad Hatter.” Maddy had always liked his talkative manner. She grinned at that, he had barely spoke ten words to her since she moved in four years ago.

“Frank. What can I do for you?” Since he wasn’t with Marcie she assumed it was he who wanted something and not just tagging along with her.

“Here,” he said as he tossed something at her. The large envelope hit her in the chest about two seconds before he ambled away from her and down the hall. Cautiously she opened it.
