Addicted

108 (Colby's POV)

We made our way to her and Chloe looked up, catching my eyes. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Our gazes held as I crossed the last few steps towards her.

I stopped a couple of feet away.

"You ready to go?" Kat asked her.

Chloe looked away from me, and towards Kat and Sam.

She nodded.

 "Yeah, I've got nothing here."

I gasped, feeling a burn in my chest from her words. She jerked her head back towards me.

"Oh no Colby, I didn't mean it like..." She shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I'm ready to go." She lifted her hand to me in a half hearted wave and she and Kat climbed into Sam's car.

 Sam gave me a stern look as he started to climb into the car.

 "You following?" He asked, barely moving his lips, as he spoke so low that I barely caught the whisper.

 I gave him one quick nod, lifted my hand to Chloe, meeting her gaze again, then turned to walk back into the house. Sam would stay with her until I got there. I needed blood first.

 I shoved my way back through the crowd of people, trying to make it to the garage.

Why the fuck did we have to throw these parties? All of these damn people...I felt an urge just to go on a killing spree to get them the hell out of my way...but I couldn't do that. That wasn't me talking, that was the monster. I don't know, maybe it was a little bit  of me talking.

Riley popped up in front of me and I growled at her. She was one of the regulars that knew that we were vamps. She was addicted to the feeling of being fed on so she always came back for more.

 I had fucked her a few times, and it was fun, but nothing like what I had experienced with Chloe. If I had a soul, it left my body when we made love.

 Made love? Where the fuck did that come from? I ran my hand through my hair, feeling my rings catch on the strands.

 She really was making me soft.

"What do you want Riley?" I was so annoyed and I needed to get to Chloe's as soon as possible.

She pressed her slim body up against me, and brought her face close to mine.

"I just noticed that you got rid of that other girl. Knew it wouldn't last. Wanted to know if you wanted a bite?" She tilted her head to the side, showing the creamy skin of her neck.

 There were a couple of scars, tiny ones, but they were disappearing. They would eventually disappear all together if she stopped getting bit.

 I had the urge to bite her. Just sink my teeth into her, while my hands held her body against mine. Bile rose in my throat at the image, and my stomach churned.

"Get the fuck away from me Riley." I shoved her off of me, a little harder than I meant to, sending her to the floor.

 I heard her shocked gasp, but I just darted towards the garage.

 The guys had made their way back here, just like we always did during the parties. We would hang with the people for a little while, feed, fuck, whatever, then always come back to the garage. It was our spot and other's weren't allowed unless they were invited. It was our safe space.

Everyone was here except Sam. Corey was feeding on Devyn, his hands roaming all over her body, while she moaned. Wouldn't be long before they left for their bedroom.

Everyone else already had red stains on their lips from feeding. So everyone got fresh blood. Everyone except me.

I grabbed a blood bag from the freezer and angrily tore into it, watching the others joke around about the humans that they fed on.

 "Look, my bitch tasted like butterscotch, not even joking." Kevin exclaimed to Mike.

"No fuck she did not!" Mike rolled his eyes.

 "Was she shooting Buttery Nipples?" Aryia asked.

"I don't fucking know what she was drinking...the name fits though!" They all laughed.

Jake and Tara were in their own little world. I watched Jake catch a drop of blood off of Tara's lip with his thumb, then put it to his own mouth, before he pressed his lips to hers. They were so cute sometimes it actually made me nauseous.

Between Corey and Devyn, and now Jake and Tara, this was just too much right now. I missed Chloe and she had only been gone for a few minutes. Fuck.

"Can't you guys take that shit to your room or something? No one wants to see that!" The two couples jerked their heads up looking at me, surprised that I was shouting.

"Actually, I don't mind watching. It entertains me." Aryia replied, holding up his index finger.

Kevin and Mike laughed and agreed. I sighed angrily, and looked at Elton who was sitting quietly by the garage door.

He was watching me, his eyes speculative.

"You okay nephew?"

I shook my head a little. "Not really. I fucked up and now I have to deal with it. I will be though."

I hoped that I was telling the truth. This separation with Chloe couldn't last long. She said she still loved me.

I'm sure she would forgive me soon. She had to feel this urge, this pull towards me too. Yeah...she had to be with me, just as much as I had to be with her.

That's what I kept telling myself anyways.

"You going to watch her? With Millie out there..." He let his voice trail off, staring at me.

 Elton was a creepy ass vampire but I had so much love for him.

"Yeah, I'm headed there now. Just wanted to fill up first...since I can't feed on Chloe, this is my only option."

He shrugged. "You could always sneak in while she's sleeping, feed, then get out. She won't even know. The venom will make her stay asleep."

"No," That thought made me sick too. "I won't violate her like that. If she doesn't want to let me feed off of her, then it is what it is. I'll stick to blood bags." I looked down at the empty bag in my hands. "As much as I fucking hate them."
