Inesa POV

Ahh.. The feeling of release as my wings come out is near indescribable. Having kept them in for so long, the rush of blood into them sends a shudder down my spine. The pain between my shoulder blades where they come out I don't even notice in the anticipation of my next feeding.

With my enhanced hearing, I can notice that the more Hal relaxes under my grip, the faster his heartbeat is.

Maybe because I'm not currently on my brink like the other times, but this time, despite my vision going red, I'm able to keep my head.

Self embarrassed to not be wearing any shirt, I slowly lower myself closer to Hal's neck, before disappointedly remembering that I can only bite his shoulder where the bite can be hidden.

It isn't as if Hal's blood tastes different in different places, but ideally I want to bite as close to an artery as possible without actually damaging it. My fangs are sensitive, and the feeling of an artery pumping beneath them- is just heavenly..

I know that once I actually sink my fangs into him, my self consciousness will vanish as I lose my head, but in the state I am now.. I feel my cheeks warm up, contrasting the sensation of cold on my torso.

Despite Hal's eyes being covered, I can tell that his mind is spinning just as much as mine, despite it being in a different way. Just beneath the blindfold, his otherwise pale skin is a color between pink and crimson, and when I reach out and gently run my finger over his exposed neck, he takes a sharp intake of breath.

The feeling of power courses through my veins, and it invigorates me enough to renew my "attack".

Hal POV

Why is this taking so long? What is she doing? Thoughts are flying though my head one after the other as I hear her breathing draw nearer and nearer, until she is so close that I feel her warm breath on my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

I can almost imagine Inesa's mischievous grin as she takes a deep breath and proceeds to lightly blow into my ear. The previous shivers are almost nothing compared to the tingles I get now.

"Inesa-" I start, it isn't as if I don't like what she's doing to me, but then again, I don't want to COMPLETELY submit in this situation. My pride is a bit too strong for that.

"Hmm?.." She cuts me off, still "uncomfortably" close to my ear. Her tone is deeper and smoother than normal.

"I-" Flustered, I can't even finish my sentence in time before she once again continues.

"You.. What? You want me to stop?.." She blows on my ear again. "If that's what you want.. I can stop.."

Drawing even closer I can't help but notice the subtle sound of her saliva clicking.

"I- Sto-.." I begin, but once again, I am cut off.

"You.. Sto.. You really want me to stop?.. Are you sure?.." I can barely take this. Maybe if I've had more experience with girls this would be more manageable, but now, her teasing is completely removing my ability to think.

I open my mouth to try and reply, but nothing comes out.

"You know, I can't hear you like that.. If you want me to hear, you're gonna have to speak up." Her voice is comfortably boring between a whisper and soft talking.

Without warning, and knowing full well what she is doing, Inesa decides to tease me further. With one elbow supporting her weight on the bed right next to my head, and her opposite hand suddenly slipping underneath my shirt and resting its nails on my side, she leans in to gently nibble on my earlobe with her front teeth, carefully making sure not to use her fangs.

"N-no.. Don't stop." My own words betraying me, I give Inesa the green light.

"That's what I like to hear." Satisfied with her victory, Inesa withdraws her hand from underneath my shirt and distances herself from my ear.

I want to protest that it's only in the moment I tell her not to stop that she does, but only a slight and embarrassing whimper comes out.

"Don't worry. I'm not done. I just want to get to the good part now. You wouldn't want to withhold my satisfaction for too long do you? I think it's my turn now." Unable to find an answer to that, I once more stay silent.

Acting upon her words, Inesa pushes the fabric away from my shoulder, and at the same time that she relaxes her body enough so that her body brushes against mine, she sinks her fangs into me.

Immediately, I can feel that same warm sensation and piercing pain shoot through me. Somehow slightly different, yet entirely the same, I flashback to the other times this happened to me.

A little worried about the implications, I realize that I'm beginning to get accustomed. The pain is no longer even a concern of mine, and instead I barely even notice it.

The warmth flowing into me through my open wound fills my entire body, giving me the impression that this is how things are supposed to be, as if my normal state of being is what things are like when I'm not entirely whole.

Near unnoticed, a terror sneaks into my mind. What the heck am I going to do when this is all over?.. Recalling my first conversation with Valorie, I remember that the terms for our agreement were "until Inesa learns to control her urges", and that means that our agreement will eventually draw to an end.

I can feel Inesa's lips against my skin, her soft touch attempting to relax me even further. I begin to feel lightheaded and I begin to drift off.

I am afraid. When this all ends, will I even be able to go back?

No. I don't think that's possible.
