Death and Lust

"Okay, lets take a bath," he said as he got off the bed and made his way to the bathroom. He opened the tap and filled the tub midway, then added the bath soap.

"I promise My, can I call you My now? he asked softly as he gently swooshed the water with his hands.

"Yes you may." I replied. "Okay, then you can call me Tris, it's what my mother used to call me before she died." He stated sadly.

"Well as I was saying, I promise I'll treat you well, and give you the life you deserve, just stay with me forever and ever." He pleaded.

"Uh... " I mumbled dumbly

"You don't have to answer now, take your time," I will not force you.

"Okay," I said as I made my way into the tub.

He opened his legs for me to come in between, I went and rested my back against his chest, we sat there for hours talking about each other, our likes and dislikes. We touched lightly on what he did to me, but quickly moved past it, as I felt his regret and sorrow, hurt and pain swelling up inside me. Damn! this blood bond thing was creepy.

I had planned on getting my revenge on him, now like an idiot or a love sick teenager I was falling for him, and quickly if I do say so myself. It was strange, but Daniel was right, Tris was actually pretty nice once I got to know him.

When my hands turned into prunes, I decided it was time to get out. 

"Where are you going?" He asked puzzled

"To my room, to get a change of clothes" I replied. Man was this vampire insecure, I felt his wave of relief surging through me.

"Oh no need for that, I got tons of clothing here" he said as he darted over to the dresser and tossed a silk night dress at me.

"What!?" I shouted. He looked at me confused. "Why in the world would you have womens clothing in your room?" I fumed. What the hell? what was wrong with me, I was acting jealous.

"My, calm down" its not what you think he replied.

"Oh really." I asked skeptically. "Men are all alike, human or vampire."

He laughed."I always have ladies clothing here, I am a vampire, we lure unsuspecting ladies to our homes, seduce them drink their blood and kill them." he stated as if it was so obvious.

I was taken aback by this piece of information. All the time, I was hunting in the road like an animal, when all I could have done was be invited into their homes and kill them, damn! I felt like a two bit hooker. I laughed to myself.

"Oh you find that funny." he said smilingly. "Well I'm hungry and I need to feed, so I'll be back shortly" he said as he got dressed.

"Why don't you feed from me?" I asked confused.

"No, I will only taste you when I am tasting you," he said with a devilish glance towards my right breast. I blushed.

"Okay then I'll be back" he said then disappeared in front my eyes.

"Just don't kill anyone" I whispered.

"Just for you, I won't," he retorted.

"And if you ever want to have sex with me again, I suggest the only woman you seduce is me."

Within the blink of an eye, he was next to me, he grabbed me tightly and kissed my passionately. "You know you're the only woman for me." He said just before I pushed him away, I was feeling him grow hard on me. He smiled and whispered "be back in a flash, don't go anywhere." He then disappeared from sight.

What the heck was wrong with me? here I was making love with a vampire, the same vampire that I detested. I hated vampires, every single one of them, but here I was smiling, laughing and living with one. Boy was I insane. Did I love him? It was too soon to tell, I sure had a lot of lust for him, of that I was quite sure.
