windows.  Okay.  If there was any chance of him getting to sleep tonight, he needed it desperately.  He was losing strength and focus.  That would get him killed.  And his new blood-bonded human slash whatever-the-hell-she was.
    The room was pitch dark as he opened the door and entered, no light other than the tiny sliver leaking under the doorway from the poorly lit fluorescents in the hallway.  Good.  Perfect.  He could see well enough in the fractional light to place her on the bedspread, which was anything but clean according to his exceptional olfactory sense.  Didn’t matter, he just needed to sleep.  He needed her to remain asleep, too, so after he dropped her, then locked and chained the door, he threw her keys on the dresser and scooted in beside her.  He really hadn’t wanted to complete the blood-bond by having her ingest his blood, but it had been unavoidable.
    He arranged her comfortably on the bed, brushed her hair back off her neck.  She smelled ridiculously good.  He’d never encountered the scent before, it wasn’t artificial, it was all her.  It was intoxicating and was making it difficult for him to focus on what he needed to do.  He needed to increase her compliance by giving her a little more of his own blood.  And he wanted to taste her again.  Needed to.  He wasn’t yet hungry, wouldn’t take much, but he wanted to see if he could identify what she was.  There was no doubt.  She was not human .  Not completely at least.  No way she could have defied him if she were.  And his small taste before…yeah, it was definitely something…other.
    She moaned suddenly and rolled her head toward him, her eyes cracked.  She was disoriented, they always were at first.  The blood initially acted very like alcoholic intoxication.
    “What did you do…” her voice was soft, sleepy, sensual…
    “You have nothing to worry about.  You’re calm, feeling good, you’re completely relaxed.”
    She moaned in pleasure and lifted her arms up over her head in a lazy stretch, brought them down and rolled toward him.  “I do feel good.  I feel great.  You know that kiss from before…?  I’d like to try that again please.  Are we in a bed?”
    Bas started to explain but she cut him off.
    “That’s good.  I want to do this.  Will you let me do this?”
    Bas pushed up on one elbow.  “What?”
    “This,” she said and yanked his shirt up, unbuttoned it and started pulling it off.  He helped her and it was gone in moments.  She slid her hands up his chest, moving her fingers against his cool skin.
    “I love the male body.  I never get to touch it.  Yours…” she moaned again with appreciation, “…yours is excellent.  Hard.  Muscled.  You must work out a lot.”  He started to answer when she laughed.  He really liked the sound of her voice when she wasn’t arguing with him.  Well.  Maybe even then.  “No, you don’t have to, right?  Vampire. Ha!  Doesn’t matter.  I just wanted to feel you.  Thank you.”
    She shouldn’t have touched him like that.  He shouldn’t have let her.  Ordinarily he would have no trouble putting her to sleep and taking his rest too.  But she’d started something…a fire in him, and he reached for her, pulled her onto him and kissed her, as deeply as he’d begun in the diner, only this time there was nothing stopping him from taking it further.  He plundered her mouth, and at the last moment before he gave in completely, he pushed her back.  It wasn’t the time.
    She couldn’t breathe.  He couldn’t either when she pulled him back.   Pushing up, she untied the halter strap that held the top of her dress in place around her neck, letting it fall, then reached for the clips that bound her hair.  It tumbled around her face.  Bas watched her, mesmerized.  She was spectacular.
    “I don’t care what else happens.  Right now, I want you.  Will you have sex with me?  It’s been a long time but I remember what to do.
