The Moon & The Morningstar: 7 Deadly Sins

CH 36: Blinded by the Light

BEAM'S POV

The hunger, which was once my friend, has now become a fickle beast. The last few days it gnaws at my insides when I'm alone, but as soon as anyone gets near me it mutinies and rejects the urge to feed by making me physically sick.

It's so bad, I called my parents yesterday to see if they had any ideas about what was wrong with me. I had to leave a message since they're on vacation, but I know they'll call me when they get home tomorrow. I just have to hold on till then.

Pha and Kit were here earlier today and brought me some food. Both kinds. But it didn't help. I started vomiting as soon as their demon friend got near me. Shit, even their scents made me a bit queasy when they arrived, and I've known them for years and have never had that reaction before.

When they finally left me to go to practice, I did nothing but drift in and out of a fitful sleep. I really didn't have the energy to do anything else. At least I didn't until a delicious scent began to fill my senses. A scent that made my hunger rush to the forefront and offer no rejection at the thought of feeding for the first time in days.

I can feel fingers ruffling gently through my hair then a warm hand cradling my cheek. Instinctively, I turn my face into their wrist trying to breathe in their inviting smell as deeply as I can, as I mumble, "Smells so good. I'm so hungry."

A familiar masculine voice speaks as he tries to move away from me, "Good. Let me grab the bag I brought." However, my stomach rumbles loudly in protest at the thought of him leaving me, and my hand shackles around his wrist in response, holding him in place as I grumble again, "... So hungry..."

Opening my eyes for the first time, I gaze in his direction, but a pinkish haze fills my sight. Jerking his arm towards me, I pull him in close and wrap my other arm behind his back, locking him in place against my body. I can't resist tucking my face into the curve of his neck and inhaling deeply again.

"You smell so good and I'm so hungry." I whisper as I nibble my way up his neck towards his ear. Sucking his earlobe into my mouth I bite down gently before releasing it and licking along the sensitive shell of his ear.

A shudder runs through his body at my action, but he doesn't push me away. In fact, he actually pulls me closer and speaks softly as he offers himself to me, "If that's what you need, Bee... take it. Just get better. You're scaring me."

Warning bell sounds through the not currently in control section of my mind at the nickname he calls me. However, I can already start to feel tiny tendrils of sexual energy beginning to leak from him, so the thought gets pushed aside by the hunger. Absorbing every little strand without letting any escape, I sigh at the wonderful flavor of it, but know I need more.

Climbing out from under the covers, I push him to lay back on the bed then straddle him. Leaning close, I run my hands through his soft hair then across his face. When I reach his lips, I brush a kiss across them before sucking his bottom lip into my mouth. The second he opens and releases a sigh, I seize his lips again, this time for a searing kiss as I thrust my tongue inside to taste and explore him.

No longer passive, his tongue now duels with mine for dominance of the kiss as he gives himself over to it. After a small battle of wills, I let him win and take the lead, and he grabs my head holding me in place while plundering my mouth.

The amount of sexual energy he's producing is increasing, but my body has been hungry and rejecting meals for so long it's going to take a lot more to satisfy it. Knowing I need skin to skin contact, I tear my lips from his, grab my shirt and pull it over my head. After throwing it to the ground I immediately reach for his.
