his
life.  “Please, little dove.  Please.”
    “No.” 
She whispered as her body continued to shudder around him. 
    He bit his
own lip until it bled and she made a soft sound of distress.  “Stop,
Val.  Don’t do that.”
    He turned
his head away as the last of his climax rushed through him and she stroked his
hair soothingly.  He leaned back and stared blankly at the side of the
carriage.  The need to bite and feed from Abigail was overwhelming him,
and he was dangerously close to throwing her to the floor and sinking his fangs
into her soft skin.
    He drew in
a deep breath, his hands clenched into tight fists.
    “Val?” 
She whispered.  He twitched when her fingers traced his jaw.
    “Get off
me, Abigail.”
    She pushed
away from him and huddled on the seat opposite him.  Without looking at
her, he said, “Go back to your friends.”
    “I thought
– I thought you wanted me to spend the night with you.”  She whispered.
    He shook
his head.  “No, I want you to leave.”
    She
hurriedly put on her clothes, her face burning and tears threatening.  She
grabbed her boots and her weapons.  “Are you – will you keep your promise
to help us?”
    “Yes.” 
He said shortly.
    “Val, what
– “ 
    From the
corner of his eye he could see her reaching for him and he flinched away.
    “Get out,
Abigail!  I’ve taken what I wanted from you – now leave!”  He shouted
harshly.
    She made a
soft sound of hurt and stumbled out of the carriage, slamming the door shut
behind her.

Chapter 4
     
    “Abigail,
are you sure you’re okay?”
    “I’m fine,
Wesley.  Stop worrying.”  She made herself smile at him as he sat
down next to her.
    Violet, her
face creased with anxiety, was sitting on her shoulder stroking her cheek
repeatedly and Wesley smiled a little.
    “I’ve never
seen a pixie so attached to a human before.”
    “Violet’s
different.”  Abigail turned and kissed the top of the pixie’s head
lightly. 
    “Will you
tell me what happened?”  Wesley asked quietly.
    “You know
what happened.”  She stared steadily at him and he flushed and looked
away.
    “I’ll kill
him for what he did to you.”
    “Stop it,
Wesley.  He didn’t hurt me.”
    She sighed
and stared into the fire, barely feeling Violet’s soft hand stroking her
cheek.  Val had come out of the carriage ten minutes after she did and,
without looking at any of them, disappeared into the woods.  Faren had
stretched lazily, nodded to the humans, and followed him.  That had been
hours ago and they hadn’t seen either vampire since.
    At Wesley’s
urging, Abigail had crawled into some blankets next to the fire and tried to
sleep.  It was impossible.  She had lain quietly for a few hours
before getting up for her shift on watch. 
    Now, she
stared at Evan and Bill’s sleeping forms and sighed deeply.  She had told
Val she would not ask him to bite her, but she had been surprised at how strong
the urge had been to give in to his need.  She wanted him to bite her, had
wanted to feel his teeth sinking into her flesh, as her orgasm rushed through
her.
    He believed
that she would give in to her urge to be bitten by him, and he had been hurt
and upset that she wouldn’t let him.  Still, she hadn’t expected such an
extreme reaction from him and she was confused by it.
    She cursed
herself in her head.  Val was a vampire, not a human, and while his need
for her was sexual, she was a fool if she thought that’s all it was.  He
would always want to bite her, to drink his fill of her blood, and for that
reason alone it would never work between them.
    Why
not?  He fed from you before and you enjoyed it, remember?
    That may
have been true, but she had been weak and afraid then.  She was different
now.  She didn’t need to give Val her blood in exchange for his
protection.  She could take care of herself.
    You’re
fooling yourself if you believe his protection was the only reason you let him
feed from you.
    She
