"Dugo Lottie" I said, my lips curling tasting the fresh hot blood pulsing down my throat, feeling the human go limp in my arms as it's life force drained through my puckered lips I licked my lips in anticipation. I felt the cravings more and more often. I wanted human blood, the vegetarian lifestyle no longer appealing to me, not that it ever did.
“Lottie darling” I said after one such drinking session. “I’ve been thinking a lot about what Demitri suggested about a blood bank for us here. Human blood on tap seemed more appealing every time I’ve thought about it.” Lottie pulled back from me with her hands still locked behind my neck.
“What do ya mean, like our own personal bank is it?” she asked with a gleam in her eyes and I could nearly see the wheels turning in her head.
“Yes love” I replied but that wouldn’t even be close to what I have in mind love!” I smirked. She pulled me close and kissed my lips. It left me feeling dizzy. Her kisses always did.
“Tell me more” she whispered in my ear as she nibbled my earlobe.
“Well…….” I said falteringly…it was becoming quite difficult to talk when she was doing that.”
“Yes” she smiled against my neck.
“Well I thought we could open up a bar but instead of having it just for ourselves I thought that maybe we could attract a certain kind of clientele that saves us from going out hunting anymore” she paused in her nibbling and smiled and said
“Go on!” I smiled more and carried on.
“I thought we could attract people of like minds. You know people who want to be vampires, vampires who are lazy about hunting; weirdo’s who deserve to be ‘drunk’. I’ve been researching it online and believe me there are many websites of people who wish to become like us and while I don’t want to turn anyone, I think it would be a great place for people who want to come and hang out and drink blood which we will have on tap.”
“Wow Bastien, you have been a busy boy haven’t you!” she smirked at me right before biting my neck. I gave into my feelings right then and bit her back……..she pulled back suddenly as if something had just crossed her mind.
“Bastien darling” she said lazily, “Where exactly do you propose that we have this bar?”
“Well Alec and Demitri and I were messing around on the computer lately and we happened to stumble upon an old deserted mine which conveniently is situated just under our house about a mile down. From the surface and I figured with the guys’ help we could dig down and make it structurally safe and maybe dig a tunnel or passageway into town, making it a secret access with maybe some bouncers on the door. Don’t want any nosy parkers coming in and busting us.”
“Wow, Bastien baby that would be just awesome. I’m so glad I married a clever man. Whoa, that’s right I’m not married, but we may as well be. Do you Bastien take me to be your lawfully wedded wife?” she asked me. I stared at her stunned for a split second before kissing her all over her face, eyes, and mouth and said yes darling I DO…...” Lottie was giggling by the time I asked her if she would lawfully take me as her husband but she went serious when she said I DO” I dashed off for a split second and was back with a little velvet box. Thank goodness Vera still has the odd foretelling dream….I whisked out our new wedding rings complete with our names and I love you inscribed on the inside and got down on one knee and placed the ring on Lottie’s finger……
“Will you Lottie be mine forever and put up with me till I’m old and grey?” She giggled and pulled me up to her lips and whispered
“Always and forever” she smiled and I kissed her passionately. It’s a good thing that Vera had decided that she should go visiting Afton and Chelsea for a few weeks….I guess her dream kinda sent her packing so to speak ha. Lottie and I didn’t leave the bedroom or the house for that matter for the next week. So blissful were we. The only time we left was to feed and even then we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.
