She took a step back out of fear and nearly froze to death when a low growl came from the
vampire. Vayna couldn’t control her instincts when Sage took a step back. The smell of fear and blood in the air was getting to her and she was slowly losing grip on her control. Her inner demon was fighting to get out of the cage she had it in, and it was making her head spin. Carefully setting the bag onto the counter so it wouldn’t spill, she slowly walked towards Sage as she said forcefully, “Do
not
move.”

Sage
barely breathed as the vampire moved toward her with a deadly grace. She was terrified and wanted to run, but she fought against everything inside her as she stood very still, her hands clasped against her chest as she watched Vayna move closer. Her eyes were wide with fear and a slight fascination that she couldn’t help but feel. Vampires were supposed to be a creature of the imagination… and yet, here was a living, breathing one right in front of her. One that was circling around her like a predator would its prey.

Vayna moved behind the frightened human and lightly rested her hand on the other’s hip. She could feel, smell, and see the fear rolling of the young woman. Her inner
vampire delighted at the fear and wanted so very badly to drink from her, but Vayna kept that part under as tight of a leash as she possibly could. As much as she wanted to taste Sage’s blood, she refused to do so with her being frightened like she was. Instead, she softly brushed the human’s hair to the side and nuzzled the skin of her neck. She heard Sage’s heartbeat pick up, and took a deep breath. Her eyes dilated when she smelled the fresh wave of fear roll off of her… fear that was mixed with lust. A soft growl echoed from her lips and she kissed the skin behind Sage’s ear. For as scared as she was, Sage still felt arousal around her. It was enough to drive Vayna’s own undead body into overdrive.

Her hands gripped
Sage’s hips as she began to layer kiss upon kiss upon the creamy warm skin under her lips. Her tongue darted out and licked a small path down the other’s shoulder, and she groaned. Sage tasted as sweet as she thought she would. On a strange impulse, she very lightly scraped her teeth over the junction of Sage’s neck and shoulder. She was surprised by the soft moan that escaped the human and with a quiet snarl, she pulled her fully back against her own body, delighting in the way Sage seemed to melt into her. She was startled for a moment when the young human moved her hand upwards toward her face. Her inner vampire thought Sage intended to stop her and wanted to grab her hand to prevent that, but Vayna didn’t move. The urge to see what the human would do came over her and she merely watched her hand move closer to her head. She was surprised once again when Sage merely threaded her hand into her hair and pulled her closer to her neck.

She couldn’t explain it. One moment she was afraid of Vayna, and the next she wanted nothing more than for her to bite down and drink her blood. She was becoming so aroused from the attention her neck was receiving, and she felt a little embarrassed because of that. She
didn’t want her to stop, it felt that good. It was all she could do to not beg Vayna to take her, make love to her right then and there, and drink her blood. She vaguely wondered how good it would feel. The moan that left her lips when Vayna scraped her sharp fangs lightly over her skin surprised even her and she felt herself blush. How was this even possible?! She wanted this vampire woman so much when she should’ve been running the other way! She certainly should not want to bed Vayna!

Said
vampire was having a hard time controlling her own arousal and need the longer they stood there. Smelling the lust that was coming off of the human in waves made her own grow and she fought against the desire to take her. She just met Sage! She shouldn’t want to take her back to her bed, make love to her and drink her blood! Her mind was becoming cloudy with lust and she abruptly let go of Sage. Moving around her, she didn’t even look at the human as she grabbed the blood bag and gripped the counter with her other hand. Her vampiric side snarled at her, demanding she go back to Sage and take what she so desperately wanted! It wanted the young human’s blood, body, and soul, and Vayna was having a hard time coming up with a reason why she shouldn’t listen to it. She fought against every instinct she honed over the millenniums she was alive and she clutched the bag so hard in her hand that some of it spilled down the sink. She watched the crimson liquid flow down the drain slowly as she made up her mind. Her voice was husky with desire and hunger as she said, “Walk slowly to your room, do not run or I
will
chase you and I can’t guarantee the consequences. Do not come out until I come to get you, understand?”

Sage
was about to tell her to drink from her when she felt Vayna move away from her so suddenly that she gasped. Where the vampire was just pressed up against her was suddenly cold and she wanted nothing more than to beg her to hold her again. It was crazy, and she was completely out of her mind, but she would’ve given anything at that moment to be back in the vampire’s arms. She didn’t move as Vayna brushed passed her into the kitchen. She watched as she grabbed the blood bag and stood at the counter. Briefly she wondered what she did wrong to make the ancient vampire move away from her. She felt a soft disappointment fill her at those words and she nodded slowly as she replied, “I understand.”

Chapter 2

With that, she turned and slowly made her way out of the room and down the hallway. She was shaking when she stepped into her room and closed the door. She collapsed onto the edge of the bed, a pile of nerves as she pressed a hand to her neck. She could still feel Vayna’s teeth on her neck and she blushed heavily. Without even realizing what she was doing, her hand slid between her legs and began to rub her already slick folds. She was practically mauled by the gorgeous female vampire in the kitchen, and all she could do was want more!

Vayna was having troubles controlling
herself out in the kitchen. She could hear what Sage was doing, could smell the lust practically pouring out from her room and it was driving her crazy! Her own body thrummed with desire and she was fighting a losing battle against it. She knew she wasn’t going to win. There was no way she could stay in the apartment with Sage and not take her. The logical choice was to leave the apartment for a while, but… as another wave of lust filled her nose, she growled and gulped down what little blood was left from the liquid she poured into her cup seconds ago. Turning on her heel, she quickly made her way through the apartment to Sage’s room. Her inner demon practically cooed in delight at the realization that she was no longer fighting against her instincts.

Without hesitating, she opened the door and stepped inside. The sight tha
t greeted her made her breath catch in her throat. Sage was sprawled out on the guest bed, her pajama pants off as her legs were spread, a finger already inserted deep inside of her. Vayna growled again when she saw that the pajama top was unbuttoned and the young human’s breasts were just barely visible, Sage’s other hand squeezing one of them.

Sage
didn’t hear the door open, but she did hear when Vayna growled. Her eyes flew open and she froze, her gaze locked onto a pair of lust filled crimson eyes. She wanted to close her legs out of embarrassment, but she didn’t dare move, her body frozen in the position she was in. Her breath quickened as Vayna moved toward the bed and kneeled between her open thighs. Desire flowed freely through her when the vampire gazed directly at her inner most secret part and caused her to whimper. The sound caused Vayna to glance up into her eyes and she saw clearly the amount of desire the gorgeous creature was feeling. Another soft whimper left her when the ancient vampire spoke one word, “Continue.”

She gave no resistance
when Vayna’s gaze fell back down onto her center and she slowly moved her finger in and out. She didn’t need to know her past to know that in that moment, she enjoyed being watched by such a dangerous creature. On a level she didn’t understand, something was awoken by the knowledge of how deadly Vayna really was. Something that was deeply pleased at having captured the attention of a being so ruthless. She shuddered softly when she felt Vayna’s lips on her thigh, kissing her skin. She became wetter from the close contact and moaned softly in response to Vayna’s snarl. It was such a forbidden act…

S
he wanted more.

Vayna became tired of simply watching. She wanted to touch and taste the young human that was so deliciously spread out before her. Standing up, she
roughly pulled Sage up off of the bed and grabbed the hand that was covered in the young human’s wetness. Pulling it up to her mouth, she licked the nectar off of her fingers, her eyes staring into Sage’s as she did. She heard the moment her heartbeat picked up and she grabbed Sage’s hips and lifted her up, forcing her to wrap her legs around Vayna’s waist. She turned and left the room, heading towards her own as she purred into Sage’s ear, “I want you in my bed.”

“Valkyrie
…” Sage whispered in response as she wrapped her arms around the vampire’s neck and clung to her. She was half naked, being carried by a vampire, about to be made love to by her. Somewhere, deep in the back of her mind, something said that she shouldn’t be doing this. That it was wrong, but she easily ignored it. How could something that felt so right be so wrong? She tilted her head down and pressed her lips against Vayna’s hard. She giggled into the kiss when the vampire stumbled for a moment, but then groaned when she bit down on her bottom lip. Willingly, she opened her mouth and let Vayna’s tongue map out every inch of her mouth. She felt like she was being possessed by her.

On
an instinctual level, Vayna realized that she was indeed trying to possess her. Trying to claim her as her own. It was an act that she hadn’t done since the death of her beloved, but she was too far gone into her lust to consciously comprehend what she was doing. All she could think about was making love to Sage, taking her and giving her pleasure. Nothing else mattered at that moment. Slowly and gently, she lowered the young human down onto her bed as she broke the kiss. Staring down into eyes turned black from desire, she whispered, “Are you sure? I never intended to take advantage of you like this.”

Sage
sat up a little and pressed a soft, tender kiss against Vayna’s mouth. The kiss spoke of trust and a slight eagerness. Vayna returned the kiss with her own eagerness as she tried hard to keep the kiss from turning into a passionate one. She wanted the young human to control the kiss she started. Sage ended it and pressed her cheek to Vayna’s as she said softly, “Yes, I’m sure. I want this, I want
you
. Please, Vayna… Valkyrie. Make love to me?”

Vayna
groaned softly at the use of her actual name. How long had it been since she made love to a partner that called her that? She honestly couldn’t remember and it was enough to drive her crazy! Her fingers worked as quickly as they could to unbutton her own pajama top as she pressed her lips against Sage’s once more. She nipped at her bottom lip hard enough to draw blood from her bottom lip, and the human gasped under her from the sensation. A groan echoed from both of them as Vayna lapped at the blood. For a human, her blood was one of the sweetest she ever tasted! Sage wrapped her arms around the vampire’s neck and whimpered into her mouth as their tongues met and caressed.

Vayna easily pulled her shirt off and tossed it onto the floor. She shuddered when
Sage’s hands floated over her skin. It was quite a while since she last had a human lover in her bed. She forgot how amazing the warmth of a human could feel against her chilled skin. It was even longer since a human occupied her bed that knew what she was. The knowledge seemed to heighten both of their arousals. She broke the kiss so Sage could breathe, not really needing to herself.

The two panted for a moment before she attacked the young woman’s neck in kisses and nips.
Sage mewled from underneath her and she growled softly in response. Her undead senses were being driven crazy by the human’s sweet responses to her actions! She paused for a moment and sniffed at Sage’s skin. She could hear the blood rush through her veins; could smell it quite clearly. Without thinking about it, she opened her mouth and was about to bite down when she stopped herself.

No, not yet.

She didn’t want Sage to become weak from blood loss before she made love to her. The passion that would flow through her veins would only make her blood taste that much sweeter. Instead, she placed an open mouthed kiss on the spot. A strange urge came over her and she teased the spot with her teeth, bruising the skin. Her inner vampire purred victoriously when she pulled back and saw the mark starting to form on the young human’s neck. It was wrong, and she should stop… a part of her wanted to stop. The part that still loved her beloved from so long ago argued that she should… but she was too far gone to stop now. Her body ached with need, her inner vampire demanded satisfaction, and she herself wanted to taste the sweet human below her.

Sage
didn’t see the hesitation that crossed Vayna’s face. She didn’t know that Vayna debated for a split second before continuing. She didn’t have any doubts at all. She wanted this ancient vampire in a way that she was sure she never wanted anyone before. She groaned in loss when Vayna pulled away from her.

The
vampire silenced her with a soft kiss before standing up and pulling her pajama bottoms down. Sage quickly shed her own pajama top as she watched Vayna finally reveal her entire body. Her breath was taken away as she slid to the edge of the bed and stood up. Vayna didn’t move as Sage took a step towards her and lightly trailed her hand down over her collarbone. A shiver went through both of them as she whispered, “You’re beautiful, Valkyrie…”

Indeed, to
Sage she looked perfect. Her skin was a soft white, pale from being a vampire, and so very smooth. It was slightly chilled from being undead, but she didn’t mind. The coldness of her partner’s skin heightened her own arousal. Her eyes trailed over the entire length of Vayna’s body. Her eyes darkened as she took in breasts that were full and round, a toned stomach, and the light covering of hair that teased her about the hidden depths that lay after it. She felt a surprising flash of possessiveness at the thought of how many people may have seen Vayna’s body in such an intimate way.

She stepped even closer and their bodies touched. Vayna hissed softly while
Sage moaned. She changed the path her hand was taking and cupped the vampire’s breast fully. It felt soft and cool to her touch and sat heavily in her palm. She knew, even though she couldn’t say how she knew, that she never had never been intimate with another female before. Despite that fact, she couldn’t help but think that it felt right to be touching another woman in such a personal way.

Vayna raised her arm and wrapped it around
Sage’s waist as she drew her closer. A soft cat-like purr echoed from her when she felt the young human’s hand on her breast. Her nipple started to harden from the pleasuring touch. She could tell this was Sage’s first time touching another woman and she let her go slowly. The young human was squeezing and stroking her skin so softly that it made goose bumps break out on Vayna’s arms. Her desire heightened when Sage dropped her head and opened her mouth. She hissed softly as her eyes fell shut when the young human drew her cool bud into her mouth and began to suck on it. Her mouth was so warm and moist that it felt like heaven to the ancient vampire. She couldn’t remember how long it was since someone touched her like that.

Sage
was moving purely on instinct when she captured Vayna’s nipple between her lips. Her tongue darted out and flicked the cool bud. She got her first taste of the vampire’s skin and her mind spun. It was such a forbidden act in the eyes of some, but at that moment, all she could think about was how wonderful Vayna tasted. She wanted nothing more than to worship the ancient vampire’s body. In the back of her mind, she knew Vayna would never let her do that. So she settled with bringing her as much pleasure as she could. She switched her mouth over to the other nipple and felt the vampire clutch her closer. She felt a brief flash of satisfaction that she could provoke such reactions from the inhuman woman as she teased her breasts.

Vayna eventually had enough of the slow teasing and she gripp
ed Sage’s arms, halting the young human’s movements. Sage lifted her head, looking up into eyes turned dark burgundy from desire and she gulped unsteadily. She couldn’t deny that she wanted the ancient vampire, but it was still a little unnerving for her to be looked at like that by Vayna. She felt like a piece of meat, and she was well aware that she would be helpless against her if Vayna decided she wanted to drink Sage’s blood.

Vayna stroked her hands down
Sage’s arms in a calming motion. She could see the fear in the young human’s eyes, and could easily smell it mixed with their desire. As much as her inner vampire delighted in it, she didn’t want her soon to be lover to be afraid. Dropping her head, she pressed a light kiss to her lips as she said, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”

Sage
pressed up into the kiss with a soft sigh. She wasn’t exactly afraid, just nervous. The concept of vampires being real was still fresh in her mind, and the fact that one was about to make love to her… it made her nervous. There was also the fact that she wasn’t certain if she was ever intimate with anyone. The thought should have scared her. She should have told Vayna that she wasn’t comfortable, but it just wasn’t true. She felt more comfortable with the ancient vampire than she could ever remember being. Of course, that was a bit biased since she couldn’t remember anything before she met Vayna, but that didn’t explain the sense of comfort and safety she felt when she was around her. She pulled back slightly and murmured, “I’m not afraid. Just nervous. Please, be gentle with me.”

“I will, I promise,”
she vowed as she gently guided her back onto the bed. Sage scooted up toward the top and relaxed against the pillows, a light blush crossing her face as Vayna crawled up over her. The ancient vampire was very beautiful, unearthly so, and very sensual. Her black hair trailed over Sage’s skin, and she moaned softly from the feel of it. How could one simple movement feel so erotic, she wondered. The silky strands ghosted over her skin, teasing her senses as Vayna moved up her body.

Vayna
leisurely crawled up Sage’s body, placing random kisses along her skin as she went. She nipped playfully at the side of the young human’s breast, purring in a pleased manner at the soft whimper that she heard. Her human was definitely a sight to behold. With a startled blink, she paused, hovering close to Sage’s face as her thoughts backed up.
Her
human? She didn’t even know Sage that well! Sure they were about to make love, but that didn’t make her Vayna’s human… yet she wasn’t entirely displeased by that thought either. Her inner vampire was more than happy to claim the young human as theirs. The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea.
