I wanted him to kiss me, and I wanted him to sink his fangs into me. But at the same time I hated myself for wanting both and either of these. Feeling his body pressing against mine, and his eyes watching me intently, he’s waiting for me to show him that I want him,
as much as he wants me.
After waiting a few moments he slowly ran his hands down, until they met my thighs, then he lifted me so our faces were even with each others. “Why are you fighting against what you want, kitten?” he whispered as he brushed his lips against mine. The second his lips touched mine, even for that one fleeting moment, I wanted more. And the second his lips left mine, I was disappointed.
“I don’t know.” I responded honestly as I looked down, trying to catch
my breath.
He put his hand under my chin and forced me to look back up him, before his lips were on mine. He kissed me hungrily, his hands starting to explore without restraint.
I wanted him to keep going, but the voice in my head was telling me to stop. It was screaming at me to stop.
“Bast! Are you out here?” My mothers voice suddenly called out.
But it didn’t stop Damien, he continued to kiss me like he hadn’t heard anything. “Damien, my mom.” I said against his lips.
“I don’t care.” He growled.
“Please stop.” I said.
He immediately set me down and took a step back, “Yes, little one.” he said as he straightened his suit jacket, then his tie. I was surprised by what had just happened, and he noticed this. “I told you, I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do.” (2
I thought about this for a moment, thinking back to five years ago when he first told me this. For the last five years I’ve continually tried to learn everything I could about the man I would spend the rest of my life with, through the internet. And for those years I tried to push him away. But I never tried actually spending time with him, to get to know him personally. I know he would do anything I asked him to, except for letting go of me, that is. Maybe if I get to know him, I won’t have this constant battle in my head about

him. “I want to get to know you, before my birthday.” I said, making up my mind.

He was visibly taken aback by my sudden decision to spend time with him. He was used to me pushing him away and spending as little time with him as possible. “What do you
mean?”
I sighed and started walking back towards the house, waiting for him to get over his shock and catch up with me. Once he did, I continued: “I have three months until I’m yours, and the only thing I know about you, is what I’ve learned on the internet.
“So you would like to, what? Go on a date?” He asked me slowly, still obviously
taken
aback.
“Well I wasn’t thinking a date, per se.” I responded as we arrived back at my house. I looked at my mother, standing on the porch, watching us. I rolled my eyes and ignored her, walking up the steps. Damien noticed my reaction to her and stopped.
“Is there something you want, Jennifer?” He said to her, with a growl.
“No, Mr. Edge, I’m sorry I didn’t know where Bast was, I came home, and she wasn’t here.” She responded quickly.
“Don’t pretend you care about her, Jennifer. Not in front of me.” He said, leading me past her, and back into the house.
Once we were back in the house, he led me into the kitchen where he started going through the cabinets. “What do you want to eat?” He asked me.
“I’m not hungry.” I said, grabbing water from the fridge.
“You haven’t eaten since before you went to school. You need to eat.” He responded, pulling out bread, butter, and cheese.
How did you know?” I asked, but then shook my head “Never mind, don’t answer that.” I said as I put down the water and started to help him with making grilled cheese and tomato soup. “I know vampires can eat real food, so you’re going to eat with me.”
“Yes, little one.” He said as we finished cooking and took the food upstairs to my room. Once we were there, I turned on the TV and sat on the bed. He started to sit on the chair at my desk, but I stopped him and patted the spot on the bed next to me. Once he was on

the bed, we ate silently, until we were done.
After eating, he placed out dishes on the desk and started to get ready to leave, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back into bed with me. (2
“Tell me about you?” I asked him.
“Ask me what you would like to know, little one.”
“Tell me about your human life.”

“I was born on November 15th, 1752 in Philadelphia. I had a normal life, or what passed for normal back then. And I was turned into a vampire on my thirty–second birthday, in 1784.” he said. 2
I could tell this isn’t a subject he wanted to talk about, so I didn’t push any further on “What is your favorite food?”
He started laughing, a deep hearty laugh, shaking the entire bed. “Little one, you know already-.”
- it.
“I know you don’t have to eat, but that doesn’t mean you don’t eat just for the hell of it.” I interjected, resting my head on his chest, watching his stomach rise and fall. “What’s the point in breathing, if you don’t need to?”
“Force of habit, mostly. There is no point in doing it, but if I went around not breathing, people would notice.” He said, putting his hand on my shoulder, and resting his chin on my head. (2
“Have you really not had sex in seventeen years?” I asked. This was the answer I wanted most, but I didn’t want to just come straight and ask it. But he wasn’t fooled. He chuckled and made me look at him.
“You don’t have to beat around the bush with me, you can ask me any question you have. I will always answer honestly, you know this.”
“You didn’t answer.” I replied, smiling.
No, I have not. Your birthday makes exactly eighteen years.”
I sighed and reached up, putting my arm around his neck, and pulled him down to me. I

He kissed the top of my head and started rubbing my back as we started watching the TV again. I felt my eyes start to get heavy as he rubbed my back. It wasn’t long until I finally succumbed.
