I couldn’t believe it... but I was smiling. Not an evil smile, but one of... happiness? It disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Trevor wasn't scared or horrified.

  I sighed, now I had to clean the mess up. I turned around and grabbed Zachary’s body hoisted it up and began pulling it out of camp. Trevor watched me with a smile on his face.

  I took the carcass to the area where I had disposed of the bodies from the night before; carelessly tossing the body onto the other remains. Trevor was sitting in the same spot by the fire when I got back to the camp. I picked up the dead man’s pack and tossed it with the ones; I could sort it out later.

  “So, what now?” Trevor asked, a slight smile crossing his lips.

  “What you mean?” I asked wiping I mouth again, the rich coppery taste of blood still on my tongue.

  “Well, I’m going to assume that the highway men from last night met the same end as ole Zachary. Are you going to follow the same after-dinner happenings... as last night?” Boyish charm glittered through the handsome man's eyes. “I’m all for that as long as binding my hands isn't involved.”

  He was referring to sex. I blinked hard. Was he serious? “Did... did you miss what happened here? I just bit into that guys neck and drained him of his blood. I’m a vampire.... and... you’re OK with that?” Complete astonishment hit me, mixed emotions flooded my mind. I wasn’t prepared for him to be so accepting; it made the fact that I had feelings for him harder to handle. Was this actually happening?

  Trevor stood without responding. His look was all business now, not a hint of a smile remained on his face. In one fluid motion, he rounded the fire with his eyes focused on me and pulled his shirt over his head. The sight of his bare muscles caused a spasm deep within my abdomen, wetness spreading between my thighs. I felt my knees weaken as Trevor pulled me against his warm body. I wanted to resist but his warmth drew me in. Our lips came together in a hungry kiss. My hands were working on unfastening his jeans as he ran his hands under my shirt, kneading the soft flesh he found there. I pulled back from his lips just long enough to yank my shirt over my head. As I leaned back into Trevor’s body, he unzipped my jeans, letting them pool around my feet. His lips were like fire, he tongue flicking against mine as he explored my mouth. Trevor pulled me into the timber shelter, pushing me from his lips.

  “Lay back.” Trevor gently pushed me down to the ground, his hands roaming my body.

  I lay on the pile of leaves and Trevor made good on his word of using his fingers on me. Soon, I was writhing in ecstasy as his thick digits slid inside my body, his mouth covering my breast. Easily, he brought me to the edge. As he increased the motion of his fingers, I fell over into the starry abyss. I couldn’t help it when I cried his name out softly.

  Trevor looked up to my eyes and smiled that his name had been on my lips.

  I was dripping with wetness as he slid his fingers from my pussy. Trevor moved his muscular body between my thighs, lowering himself until he made contact. The head of his pulsing cock began pressing into my aching pussy and I sighed. I wanted him inside of me so badly. I wrapped my legs around Trevor pulling him deep inside of my hot channel.

  “God,” he hissed as he buried himself completely. The friction of our bodies sent chills riveting through my core. Trevor groaned, thrusting his hips with precision. Our bodies quickly synced together, soon we were both shimmering with a fine beads of sweat. As our bodies moved in a near perfect rhythm, Trevor buried his face in my neck, kissing and nibbling my skin. I raked my nails down his shoulder, small beads of bright red blood welled up. As we moved, I gripped his arms and we rolled over in the leaves... I ended up on top. I smiled as I rose off his throbbing cock. Leaning down, I flicked my tongue over the delicate droplets of blood that sat on the skin of his shoulder. When the action brought a moan from deep inside him, I slammed my body back down on his cock. My eyes fluttered closed as I rode him, his hands caressing my body. I could feel my orgasm building. Trevor held my waist as he raised his hips to meet my rhythm, thrusting into me deeply.

  I was lost in pure bliss. Never had I experienced a fucking like this. This ex Seal was good at using his thick cock. “Oh shit, Trevor!” I cried out as I felt my orgasm hit me in waves. Moments later, Trevor exploded inside me, sending tiny traces of almost electric pulses through my body. I stayed on top of him as we came down from our orgasmic bliss. I tried to roll to the side and off of him but Trevor pulled me against his chest tightly. Laying next to the fire, our bodies basked in its warmth as the fire burned down to embers.

  Trevor held me in his arms... we felt no need to speak. The moon was high when I quietly slid from Trevor’s grasp, crawling to my clothes and dressing. Once I was no longer naked, I sat on the log, my mind too busy for sleep. I watched Trevor breathe deeply in his slumber. Still naked, my eyes roamed freely over his body. He was pretty damn perfect. “You’re losing it girl, he’s just another human.” I growled under my breath, turning my eyes back to the glowing coals. What the hell was my problem?

  I had more than enough reason to kill every human on earth, or at least I thought that I did. Why was I pulling back from this one? Granted, he was great for sex and easy on the eyes... but this was more to it than that. Deep down, I knew it was more than I was willing to admit. Just thinking about him made my abdomen do flip flops. I shook I head trying to get rid of the emotions, I watched the embers slowly faded to black. In the shadows, I looked to where his body was. I had feelings for him... no doubt about it. Sighing, I knew I had to reign in my emotions, or I’d end up dead. Eventually sleep over took my busy brain... and a dreamed of Trevor.

  Far too soon, the bright and sunny day woke me. I rolled over, still trying to figure out why I was on the dirt. A noise behind me told me that Trevor was still around, it hadn’t been a dream.

  “Morning, beautiful. Did you sleep ok?” Trevor asked happiness on his voice.

  “I guess so.” I grumbled. It was way too early for me to be happy.

  As I sat up, I noticed he had cleared the camp, dressed and he was already eating something from the pack at his side. I felt my stomach churn with butterflies as I watched Trevor. I cursed under my breath and quickly turned away. Anger filtered into my already bad attitude, I had to get school my feelings.

  “Are you up for going for a swim?”

  I looked at him. Trevor had a devious smile on his face. I thought for a moment and then agreed with a nod.

  I knew what he had planned and that was OK, I still liked sex... I just needed to stay in charge. I could also use the bath.

  “Come on I saw a creek about a mile from here the other night when I was walking. I think I can find my way back to it.” Trevor said, holding his hand out to me.

  'Fuck,' I thought and tentatively I accepted his hand, letting him pull me up from the ground.

  He held my hand as we hiked. I attempted to pull my hand from his grasp a couple of times, but he squeezed tighter. Eventually, I gave up... and completely forgot about controlling my emotions. I spoke openly about everything, as if it was just a normal day. Everything seemed to be fine and dandy as we reached the murky water. We laughed as we washed thick layers of dirt off our skin. When the clouds moved to blot out the sun, I suddenly became wary. Cursing at myself, I realized how much I had exposed to him on our walk.

  “Have you any thoughts about the future?” Trevor’s asked.

  I looked up as he splashed water over his head, taking just a moment to follow the beads of water down his bare chest. I knew it was a loaded question... but loaded with what. “I have and I don’t see much there.” It was the best response I could offer. A sudden black pit filled my stomach as I sat fully clothed on a rock in the knee deep water.

  “You know what I mean... are you always going to be a vampire?” His usual smile was hidden by a cloak of concern.

  I shrugged. “It’s not like I have much choice. I don’t miss being human. I am better this way, just let it go.” I could feel my anger building up, ready to pour over th
e top, like lava from a volcano.

  “I’m not trying to pry; it’s just that... well... I heard a rumor about a cure.” Trevor said a tentative smile forming on his face, even his voice sounded timid.

  “A cure for what?” My voice shook slightly, I wasn’t sick.

  “The rumor is that there is a cure for you and those like you... so that you don’t have to be this way. I heard that they can fix it... that they can make you human again.” Trevor sat down in front of me, reaching his hands out for mine.

  I blinked. Rage started boiling in my chest. “Fix it?” What the hell was he thinking? “I’m not broken!” I was livid that he had the gall to insinuate that I was broken. Standing up, water flowed around as I moved away from his touch.

  “I didn't mean it that way... I just meant…” Trevor tried. His voice was higher than normal, as if he was trying to appease a fussy baby.

  I knew he was attempting to make things right, but how could he say something like that. There was nothing wrong with me... other than I was developing feelings for him. I clenched my fists involuntarily at my sides. Even the thought of caring for him made me furious. I trudged out of the water, my skin hot with anger. “It funny... you didn’t seem to have an issue with me being a vampire last night... when you were getting what you wanted,” I hissed as water dripped off of my clothes. I turned my back on Trevor as he stood.

  “I don’t have an issue with it now. I just thought they’d well… I don’t know.” Trevor said, he was still talking as I walked away from the water.

  I couldn’t hear his words through my cloud of anger... and ire for myself. I walked back to the camp alone, leaving Trevor in the creek. As soon as I got to camp, I found dry clothes and changed. Plopping down on the log, heat and rage still roiled in my chest. My wet clothes in a pile on the ground next to the fire pit, my mind was racing.

  “I am not broken!” But... I knew I was. I wasn't who I used to be... the caring, believing in fairy tales girl. She was long gone... replaced by this seething monster. I wonder if Trevor would have even given me the time of day if I was still... me. “Cure my ass,” I muttered. Only a fucking human would think that, fix whats not broken. I growled, kicking rocks into the grey ashes from the long gone fire of last night. Staring at the charred wood, images from the passionate encounter with Trevor invaded my thoughts. I closed my eyes for a moment, remembering the feel of his hands on my naked skin. It was enough to calm me... if just for a moment.

  A snap in the underbrush nearby signaled that Trevor wasn't too far away. I could smell his skin before he came into view. Jumping up, I walked quickly into the woods before he had a chance to see me. I couldn’t bare to be around him right now.

  I spent the day walking far from the camp, debating whether or not I should just leave. As much as I wanted to try, I couldn’t seem to make myself leave. I knew Trevor was still around and I could smell the wood burning where he had built up another fire. The handsome, idiotic man was still at our camp. If a human could endure all of this shit, then I could too.

  A slight change in the breeze brought Trevor's scent to my nose. My stomach grumbled. Any other human would be dead right now. I was becoming hungry. I considered killing him just to get him out of the way and put me out of my misery... but the idea made me sick. And, just like that, I knew I had gotten too close to this man. I was falling in love with him.

  Taking a deep breath, I began slowly walking back towards camp. Dusk was quickly blotting out what was left of the sunny day and it would be dark soon. I shouldn’t leave him alone... even if I was mad at him.

  Trevor didn't speak as I entered the camp but I felt his eyes on me as I sat down next to the flickering flames. When I looked up, Trevor held a gentle smile on his lips but he said nothing. A warm, amber glow lite up his face, making him appear even more attractive. I stared at him for a moment longer, our eyes locked, then I looked to the sandy dry dirt at my feet.

  That night, we slept. There was no conversation, no explanations. I was desperately trying to come to terms for what I was feeling about the human. Why did I have to fall for the first piece of ass that came my way after the meteors? I smiled in spite of myself.

  Morning came and went without any words exchanged. It's amazing how efficient two people can be when there is no conversation. I fully stocked the woodpile and Trevor fashioned a fishing pole and managed to pull some fish out of the stream.

  As he sat cooking his fish, the silence finally broke. “I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have suggested what I did. I was curious myself... about your thoughts on it..” Trevor spoke softly and slowly.

  I watched his face as the sky turned an array of vivid colors with dusk. I still didn't know what to do... how to respond. His beautiful eyes pleaded with me and I could tell that he was being sincere. He hadn't meant to roil me up. I sighed and felt my shoulders sag a little. I could at least talk to him.

  I lifted my eyes and smiled slyly. “I guess you're only human...” I said with a slight joke, trying to lighten things up.

  “Nice.” Trevor tossed me a boyish smile, causing butterflies to swarm madly in my stomach. “Are you still mad at me?”

  How could I stay mad at someone as gorgeous as he was? “I was but I’ll get over it.” I returned his smile but my mind was still in turmoil over my feelings.

  “Sky,” he said softly. “Being a vampire closes doors that you may not realize you want open... but when you do, you won't be able to go through them.” Trevor said softly, he was trying so I just breathed. “You may not even know that... so...”

  “So what,” I snapped.

  “I'm fine with you being the way you are. For the first time, I'm actually with a woman who admits she's out for blood,” he laughed.

  I couldn't help but smile at his reference to the 'typical' woman.

  “But the future... if you've wanted children... to grow old with someone... that won't be possible.”

  I stared blankly at the fire. “I really don't know what I want... except that I don't want to feel anything.” Which was really true.. but he had no idea that I meant I wanted to feel nothing for him. I could feel his emerald orbs burning into my skin. Ready to change the subject, I offered, “how many fish did you manage to catch?”

  “Not enough, but it’ll do.” We continued to talk deep into the night, avoiding any intense subjects.

  I slept next to Trevor, wrapped in his arms. So many mixed emotions ran through my head as I laid their with him. My mind kept returning to the idea of a cure... could I seriously go back to being a human? I just didn’t know.

  A few days past with nobody showing into our camp. During the day, we would hunt, play in the creek and talk. At night, Trevor would show me love and passion with his mouth, fingers and exquisite cock. While I enjoyed all of our activities together, my hunger was getting hard to control. It had been some time since I had blood last...

  On the fourth day, my blood lust was starting to get the best of me. When Trevor pulled me into his arms after taking a seat next to me, my mouth began to water. I could feel his heart pumping the rich, warm blood through his veins. I trembled slightly. My feeling for Trevor had only put him in danger.

  “You okay?” Trevor asked, obviously feeling my trembles.

  I stood faster than any human could and looked down on him. Oh dear God... I could hear every vein and artery in his body... they called to me. “I need a walk.” I said back peddling, trying to put some distance between us.

  Hey eyed me for a moment and stood. “I’ll come with you. “

  When he held out his hand, I cringed as if he was holding out stink weed. “Don't...” I growled, turning away.

  “Sky?”

  My eyes rolled back in my head... damn... I could still smell his blood even though I was a good 50 yards into the trees! Please, God, help me find some scumbag to drain!

  I knew I had been mean but I needed to get away, and the last thing I needed was him following me. If I stayed too much longer, I was goin
g to lose control. Picking up my pace, I ran even further from the camp. The hunger was taking over completely... I felt feral... I was the ultimate predator. It had been close to a week since I had drained someone. The thought of blood flowing past my lips almost brought me to my knees; the raw need to feed was agonizing. Deep in the woods, even this far out, I could still feel the need for blood tearing my mind apart.

  “Stop it!” I screamed at nothing. This was beyond anything I had ever felt before.

  My delirious thoughts focused on this miracle cure... the one that Trevor had mentioned. God, I would take anything to avoid this feeling every again. It would also keep me from thinking murderous thoughts about Trevor. I couldn't be thinking about killing the man that I love. Wait... what? I was really... in love with a human..

  My decision was made; I couldn’t risk Trevor. The cure it was. First though, I had to feed. Blood was my only thought as I moved even further from the campsite. If it meant that I didn’t chance killing Trevor, maybe the cure was the best thing for me. My level of starvation was warping my mind... I couldn't make a solid decision. I knew I had to find food or I wouldn’t be able to return to camp.
