be able to reject.
No one would touch him again this night. Even in their drunken state, they would move away from him. His body shivered at the feel of having every human’s mind in this bar under his control. Their mental connection to him gave him a little of their life forces. But not enough to fill his growing hunger.
Cage looked around the room, hunger clawing at his insides again. He knew he had depleted more of his powers after exerting so much energy, but he had no choice but to do it. If he didn’t take over the minds of these humans, then he would end up breaking one of their necks, and he was sure the council would try to punish him for it. Cage chuckled to himself at the thought of anyone trying to punish him.
Cage drew in a deep breath and knew he had to feed, and soon. One of these lucky women would feed his spirit tonight. And if she was good enough, she would feed him for a couple of days until he returned to North Carolina.
Heartbeats pounding in his ears were like music to him. Bodies of all shapes and sizes swayed back and forth to the music. Their bodies generated heat that beckoned him to do what naturally came to him, drink their blood and recharge his powers from their climaxes. He inhaled the musty scent of human sweat in the air. But also the aroma of release from his own kind having sex upstairs, mixed with the aroma of sexual need from humans, lingered in the room. Both scents mixed together sparked his need to fill both his hungers. He would feed this night and soon, very soon. Sadly, she wouldn’t remember a moment of it tomorrow.
Cage always covered his tracks no matter whom he met or where he lived. If he thought any humans needed their minds erased, he did so. So far, that had been every human he’d come into contact with. The fewer who knew about him, the easier it was for him to live and not need to watch his back. It was safer, and he would keep it that way.
He moved slowly across the dance floor, heading for the bar. He knew that drinking wouldn’t help his frustration. He had come to Florida to help the young vampire named Logan and the day before he arrived, they had found and killed the wolf who had been killing the locals.
During this time, Logan’s older brother, Ian, had also found his mate. He had gotten a look at her when Logan escorted her out of his home a couple weeks ago. She was a beautiful newly turned vampire. Too bad she was taken.
Once Cage found out that everything was taken care of, his next move was to go back home. Logan, on the other hand, had other plans and asked him to come hang out at his club for a couple of weeks. Being here wouldn’t be so bad if he found someone to take to his bed for a couple of days. He had so much build up that he knew he wouldn’t last long the moment he sank into some hot, wet pussy.
As he walked through the crowd, his eyes burned. The bodies parted as he moved, leaving a path for him to make it to the bar without anyone touching him.
Not many vampires possessed the power to do what he could do. To control so many at one time would almost kill another vampire, and yet Cage could do it with ease.
As he made it up to the bar, a female with the name Emily on her tag walked up to him.
“What can I get you?”
Cage tilted his head, took in a deep breath, then snarled under his breath. Logan had a claim on this one.
Where the hell can I get laid around here?
All these bodies, and not one interested him enough to fuck. Maybe he had to just lower his standards again and simply fuck the first woman he picked.
“Give me the strongest drink you have.”
The waitress smiled at him. “You must be one of Logan’s friends.”
Cage let out a low, threatening snarl. The woman’s eyes widened and he smelled fear rolling off her as she backed away from the counter. He stopped a smile before it could spread across his face when the woman’s heart started to pound, her blood running through her veins begging to be tasted.
