"If you touch me again," Ashley warned, her voice low, "I swear I'll-"
"You'll what?" Eric interrupted, stepping closer.
She tilted her chin up, glaring. "Stake you."
He smiled, all sharp teeth and temptation. "Mmm. Then I hope you miss... I'd hate...

In front of me- right in the middle of the bar they stood, handing out flyers.
'And remember, thuesdays is ladies night so bring a date...' a blond tall women in a trenchcoat handing out flyers, told the mesmorized crowd.The man he was handing the flyer to gave her a big dirty grin while eye-fucking her. The tall blond women raised an eyebrow at him.
'That is, if you can get one!'
His friends laughed. The athmosphere was charged with (sexual-) tention, but I couldn't quite make out why. Until I saw him.
And with that, my heart stopped. Time froze and my vision got blurry, thanks to the tears that fillled up my eyes once more.
Stay calm Ash!
Conceal don't feel, don't let them now. Right?
As the women continued handing out the flyers he turned around in a swift sudden motion and eventhough he didn't raise his voice, every little word cut through the room like a sharp knife.
„Not that one"
„Dude!", the man started to complain. Stupid, stupid man!
The bar fell silent and even I stopped breathing. It was obvious, he had made a tremendous mistake. The man next to him streched out his arm towards the women in order to pick the next flyer out of her hand, revealing burned flesh around his lower arm. I closed my eyes for his foulishness. I wasn't the only one, who'd noticed. This man, easily over 6 foot tall with hair down to his shoulders and a body rippled down with muscles moved faster than my stupid human eyes could register his movements. I jumped in surprise, dropping my pen. With that, I got his attention.
God damnit!
Both vampire heads turned toward me, confirming my feared suspiscouns. My blood started trickling through my body ice-cold. From one moment to the next I felt as if I'd been thrown back two years. I could feel how I lost all control of my facial expressions and I had to draw in a shake breath.
Don't make any mistakes now...
But my look, my breath or simply my pounding heart must have giving someting away, because not one second later this man, who used to be half a room away, was standing within an inch of me, sizing me up. Sparking blue eyes fixated on me, taking away my breath.
I fought every last of my carefully crafted and expended fighting reflexes and shallowed hard. It took nearly all of me and my basically non-existing self-control to keep my feeling bottled up at that moment, not showing my crushing hate that was cursing through my vains like poison.
