“That blonde one, she keeps looking at you. She clearly wants you to bite her.”
“How do you know that?”
“Her pupils dilate when she looks at you and you could probably cut glass with her nipples.”
He tried and failed to choke back a laugh.
“Shit, you really do say the most inappropriate things.”
“What? It’s just an observation. She’s not wearing a bra so it’s kind of obvious and those are most definitely not real.”
“Her breasts?”
“I don’t understand humans and their cosmetic procedures. Anyway, she’ll do. I guess she’s sort of attractive for a human girl.”
He looked down at Dani.
“What, women don’t float your boat?”
“No, they don’t have the right parts.”
His whole body shook with laughter. I think I gave her too much to drink, she’s completely lost any filter she might have had.
“Do I have the right parts?”
“Yes, I know for certain you do.” Her eyes snapped to his. “Don’t think I don’t know why you insisted on taking me to the bar when we were dancing.”
“You’re attractive, Dani, but don’t worry, I have no intention of crossing the boundaries of our friendship.”
She didn’t acknowledge him, taking his hand and tugging him over towards the blonde girl.
“Hello,” she said. “You like my vampire friend here, right?”
The girl looked a little taken aback but nodded.
“The deal is you, me and him go into one of those booths and he gets to do what he wants to you whilst I watch. We clear?”
Jamie couldn’t do anything but stare in awe at the fae girl who’d completely lost all her inhibitions. The blonde girl was silent for a moment.
“That’s okay with me. You’re cute, so you’re more than welcome to join us.”
Dani took the girl's hand and led both of them into one of the empty booths. One of the attendants shut the curtain behind them. Before he sat down, he leant over to Dani.
“Are you sure about this?” he whispered.
“Perfectly. I’m not scared of seeing you feed off her. I’m insanely curious.”
He brushed her hair from her face, running a thumb along her jaw. Dani, you’re killing me here. Seeing you all assertive is insanely hot. She shivered, her light blue eyes, which reminded him of ice, betraying her feelings. He knew instantly they were feelings she didn’t want him to see. Desire flickered in her eyes, directed solely at him. She pulled away, slipping into the booth next to the girl.
He sat down, completely unable to work out if what he’d seen was real or not. Was it the alcohol talking or did Dani find him attractive? She refused to meet his eyes. The blonde girl shifted closer to him, angling her head to give him access to her neck. He could hear the blood pumping in her veins. His fangs popped out. There was no use denying what he wanted, what he needed.
He latched onto the girl’s arm, tugging her over and pressing her head onto her shoulder. His eyes met Dani’s as he leant down. He felt her skin give beneath his fangs. The blonde girl hissed slightly. Dani’s pupils dilated as she watched him suck on the girl’s neck. He listened to her breathing becoming erratic, her heart hammering in her chest.
Fuck, this is totally wrong. All I can think about is Dani. Why am I craving her even though I’m sucking some other girl’s neck?
Dani moved closer, her hand curling around the girl’s arm. She took the girl’s wrist, holding it to her mouth. He could tell she was fighting with her urges. He stopped sucking the girl’s neck for a moment.
“You want her, don’t you?” he said.
“I do, but I can’t. Shit, seeing you doing that is so… I don’t know. It’s making me crazy.”
“Just do it. What’s the worst that can happen?”
He licked the girl’s neck, wanting to see what it was like when the fae breathed a human. Dani’s eyes flickered with darkness for a moment before she breathed in. He could see the translucent energy flowing from the girl’s wrist upwards towards Dani. She closed her eyes, her body shuddering.
“Fuck,” he whispered.
The blonde girl’s heart rate thudded, growing a little fainter. The two puncture wounds on her neck stopped bleeding. Jamie didn’t care, he was too fixated on Dani breathing the girl. Her whole body began to glitter and shimmer as the energy transformed into magic. Magic which ran through Dani’s veins.
Dani dropped the girl’s arm, falling back into the booth. A moment later, she opened her eyes. They were pure ice. The girl was still alive but looked to be in a state of euphoria. She tried to curl towards Jamie. Her hand dropped onto his thigh and travelled upwards. He put a hand on hers.
“No. I’m not going to fuck you,” he said, still staring at Dani.
He had absolutely no interest in the blonde girl. The girl he wanted to fuck was staring at him in horror.
“Jamie,” Dani said, her voice a little panicked. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
Chapter Five
Jamie shoved the blonde girl away from him, standing up and going around to Dani’s side. Her skin shone, her pupils fully dilated. He tugged her to her feet.
“Why not? Shit, Dani, that was incredible.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just go dance again.”
She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the booth, ignoring the blonde girl and the attendant. It didn’t matter anyway, he’d paid for the service she’d given.
