Chapter Nine

 'I can't' I whispered, opening my eyes and looking at him. I really did not have time for a guy in my life, even one as sweet and hot as Lucern, we only just met for christ's sake!

  'I know' he murmured back, and instead of kissing my lips, he planted a soft kiss on my forehead and pulled me tighter into him. 'I know how hard this is for you Elizabeth, and I'm probably not helping much, but I feel like I know you'

  'I know what you mean' I said, I felt like I had known him for years, not hours.

  'Let's get you home' he said smiling down at me whilst releasing me from his embrace, we both buckled up and were silent for the remaining part of the journey. The tension was unbearable. The journey is less than ten minutes, but it felt like  we had been driving for two hours, every movement he made, I was aware of, every sound seemed to echo around the small space. 

    'You need to turn right here' I said.

    'I know, I live two doors down from you, must of the supes live down the same road' He said matter of factly.

  'Bit odd' I commented as he pulled up outside my house.

  'Not really, I would say it was clever, it allows us to call on eachothers abilities when needed, keeps us intune with each other's needs'

  'Sorry' I mumbled, smart ass.

  'I heard that' He murmured chuckling.

  'Heard what?' I asked genuinely surprised.

  'That 'smart ass' comment, I am a reverse vampire Elizabeth, I can hear thoughts that are either directed to me or about me' 

   Oh.My.God, this is so embarrassing, some of the thoughts that have gone through my head, like me and hi-

   'Continue' he said smiling mischeviously at me.

    'Get out of my head' I exclaimed punching him in the arm.

  'OW' he yelped.

    'Sorry, forgot about the crazy strength thing..' I laughed.

   'Well, don't' 

    'Are you sulking?' I said between fits of giggles

    'Yes' he said, facing the window, he was clearly lying. 

    'That's a shame, I better go in then' I unbuckled my seatbelt, and began to open the door when I felt two hands grab my shoulders and pull me back, until I was sitting on Lucern's lap,I had to bend my head a bit as it was touching the roof of the car.

    'I was only joking' 

    'So was I' I said giggling 'Do you wanna come in for lunch?, we still have a few hours before class and I have many a question for you Lucern' I asked smiling flirtatiously at him.

   'Why not?' He pulled us both out of the car, I screamed in surprise at the speed (you would have thought i'd be almost used to it by now) causing him to laugh down at me. 

    I reached into my bag for my keys and unlocked the door. I walked into the Indigo hall and dumped my bag on the floor and popped my coat on the rack, there were still a few boxes laying around but they could be sorted out later. 

   'Come through the kitchen is this way' I said motioning down the hall, he closed the front door, put his bag next to mine, put his coat on the rack and followed me.

  I stopped suddenly and turned to face him, causing him to bump into me, the length of our bodies touching, I felt something shock me and quickly took a step back.

   'Can we even eat?' I asked distractedly. He laughed at that remark, I did not find it funny, I thought it was rather sensible actually.

  'Well, do you feel hungry?' He asked me 

   'Yeah, but what if that's the blood lust?' 

   'Trust me you will know when your vampire cravings take over, it's like a hunger, and when you have not completely grown into your powers, it can be mistaken for hunger' he said distantly 'But when it's real, your throat burns with longing, it's all you can think about, if your stomach grumbles, then your hungry, since your'e a hybrid you can eat real food, and since I am a reverse vampire, I can too' 

    'You could have just said yes' I said smiling awkwardly, that did not sound even mildly pleasant. 'What do you want to eat?' 

   'Anything, I'm not fussy' 

  Why do people always say that?! They obviously have a preference, why not just say?

    'I'm really not fussy Elizabeth, I eat anything' 

  'Get out of my head' I spat.

  'Sorry, I can't help it sometimes' 

    'It's OK' I sighed, now I felt bad. Great.

  I decided to cook an oven pizza as it was quick and required little effort on my part. 

   'We have about twenty minutes till it's cooked, do you want to answer my questions now or after?'

   'After' He said. He was suddenly infront of me, his arms encircling my waist. I couldn't stop myself this time, it was as if my body knew this was what I really wanted, what it really needed. He seemed to think the same as he had a confused expression on his face.

   I put my hands on the back of his neck and pulled his face towards mine until we were just an inch apart, his eyes found mine and he closed the distance, I closed my eyes and felt his soft lips crush mine. He was firm but gentle at the same time, his tongue traced my bottom lip, begging for entry, I parted my lips slightly and let him enter, we began to move as one, he pushed me against the wall, and his whole body crushed mine. I wanted this, I wanted him. My mind knew it and my body knew it. 

   He thumbs traced circles in my waist as he pulled me tighter against him, I felt my knees weaken and he did as well, as he began to support my weight as we kissed. His tongue explored my mouth and mine explored his,we moved in sync. He was wonderful.

   He broke apart long enough to murmur a thanks in my ear and began to kiss along my jaw line and down my neck,I moaned in response and felt something painful touch my bottom lip.

   'OW' I said in response.

   'What?' He said, he stopped kissing my neck and looked at me in alarm, then he broke out into a massive smile.

  'Why are you smiling, I think my lips bleeding' I exclaimed.

 'Looks like your fangs have come through' He looked pretty smug.

'WHAT?' I asked

 'Well, you usually have extended fangs in moments of lust, that can be through blood...or...' He said smiling.

  So that was why he looked so smug, just because he turned me on with his amazing kisses, I looked down at his neck and felt a completely different lust, It was hypnotic.

  I swallowed hard, my eyes focused on the blood pumping through the vein. I couldn't control myself. 

  'Elizabeth?'
