and she stood there, blank faced, in a zombie-like stupor.
“What did you do to her?” I whispered.
“Something we cannot do for you,” Cole remarked.
I backed away and they tracked me. “I am not going with you,” I said, proud that my voice only shook a little.
“We understand your fear, but you will come with us. How do you humans put it? It is non-negotiable .”
“You don't understand anything! You two... whatever-you-are, sucked our attacker's blood. They died and now you're calling me some kind of 'breeder'. No offense, but it's not looking too good on my end.”
My eyes bounced from one to the other of them. I couldn't follow their movements, just when I thought I had one in my sights they moved so fast they were both suddenly one foot away from me, each holding an arm. I opened my mouth to scream and Cole put his mouth on mine, stifling it. His kiss blossomed and spread to the center of me, making my panties instantly moisten. I'd never had a reaction like this in my life.
Of course, I'd always made out with human men.
My fear was in my throat but my biology was never touched by it. I couldn't move my arms but as my mouth moved against his, he released my arm and I wound it around his neck, pressing his lips harder against mine and he groaned and pulled me against him. My mind played tug-of-war, my intellect was screaming that he was some creature of the night. He'd killed two men before my eyes but my center bloomed for him; heat stretching and spreading from between my legs. My nipples hardened and he reached behind me, placing his hands under my thighs. Never breaking from the kiss, he lifted me up and I wound my legs around his waist.
“She is so eager,” Nathan said, releasing my other arm. He circled us, grabbing a piece of my hair and flicking it behind my shoulder.
That broke through the heat of the moment and my intellect slammed back into place. I broke away and shoved at his chest with my hands. He let me slide down his body and when my feet hit the pavement, the cold moved up my legs, freezing that searing heat before it progressed.
I gave Nathan a dirty look, noticing Michelle still stood there in the same position, gooseflesh covering her arms, her teeth chattering.
“I don't know what you are, or why this is happening but I just want you to go... now. I will get my friend and I home without any help from you.” I folded my arms across my chest.
“Your body speaks for what you want. It speaks for what you are.”
“Oh?” I arched my eyebrow. “What is it that I am?”
“It is what is in your blood, you are of Druid blood. They are the only humans that may breed with us.”
Druid? What the hell was that?
Okay, next question:
“What are you?”
They looked at each other. “We are Vampire, witch, ” Cole said as if that should have been obvious.
Witch? Had the conversation devolved to name-calling at two a.m.?
“Do you know of your people?”
I couldn't believe I was standing out here in twenty degree weather talking to a couple of guys claiming to be vampires. I felt incredibly stupid to have kissed the one.. . Cole.
“Ah, no. I'm adopted. Okay, while all this is interesting, it's time to go.”
I turned to Michelle, who had a spot of drool coming out of her mouth. God, what did they do to her? I walked over to her, grabbing a limp arm and started dragging her to my car.
Suddenly, they stood in front of me.
“Would you stop doing that!” I said, fear choking me.
A smile spread over Cole's face. “Doing what?” His fangs were smaller now that he wasn't trying to French me.
Sirens began in the distance and we all looked in their direction.
“The human police,” Nathan said.
“Yes.”
“Another time, breeder, ” Cole said. He licked his finger and touched it on my forehead. “I mark you for another time, very soon.”
They disappeared into thin air and I was left with Michelle, the approaching cops, and a pulsing core that wept for the vampire
