Chapter 1: Valentines Day Pt. 1

Life had settled into a normal routine for Mick and Beth, normal for them anyways. Everything was heaven, their relationship growing everyday, they were still learning and adapting to each other. Beth still worked at Buzzwire, only she worked more like a freelancer. She did not have a time to go in, she went in to work on cases that she was called to cover, Mo had decided to let her work her own angles, with all the hits her cases were bringing in. Mick's work only changed in that he worked more frequently with Beth, deciding that having her at his side had many perks. They had not been together for very long, in actuality it had only been a couple months, ever since the Arnold case.

Being Valentines Day, both had unexpected plans for the other. Mick had spent the past week working on the perfect night, making sure he covered everything, and then rechecked the list. Josef had been a big help in putting his contacts at Mick's disposal. Mick was grateful for his friends help, but he sensed something was wrong; his friend was not his normal self.

1 Week Ago

"Josef I want to do something special for Beth, for Valentines Day."

"Oh boy, what do you need my help with? Thought you were 'Mr. Wonderful'. What is it you want to do for your little human?"

"What has gotten into you Josef? I thought you liked Beth?"

"Oh don't get me wrong I like her, she is a real gem." Josef senses Mick's glances, "Just call it the holiday, I do like her, just not a big fan of any holiday that involves the pouring of ones feels out."

"Yeah okay, I know you have a reputation to protect but if you have not learned it by now, I won't tell anyone you have a heart, neither will Beth."

"So what do you want to do for Beth? Did you have something in mind?"

"I want it to be perfect."

Josef raises an eyebrow and shakes his head, "that really narrowed it down."

Mick lets out a sigh, "I know. I am new to this. Beth deserves the world, she is everything to me, I want to give her everything. I have some ideas…"

Candice comes into the room, and stands next to Josef. "Hey Mick. Did I interrupt?"

"Why my sweet Candy, we were just talking about—"

Mick cuts Josef off, "Nothing, just business."

"Business, that's why you got all quite when I came in huh. Making plans for Beth maybe?" Mick is silent, just gazes off around the room. "That would be a yes. Are you worried I am a spy?"

"You are her closest friend, so the thought had occurred."

"Well I see how you are. I will leave you to your 'business' I have plans with Beth in a little while anyways. I was just coming to see if you wanted a snack before I went out." Candice ran her arm in front of Josef.

"Thank you my dear, but I am good for now. Although I am sure I will be just famished when you return." Josef gives her a playboy grin, Candice waves and leaves.

"If I give you a list of things I need, do you think you can see if you know anyone who would be good for the job?"

"Of course."

Back to present

Beth was having Candice over for lunch at her place. It was always best to have their talks in private, depending on the nature of their conversations they would meet at Josef's, Mick's or her place. Beth and Candice had spent a lot of time together since the Arnold fiasco, they had a lot in common, and having someone to talk to was very refreshing. Yes, she could talk to Mick, but some things need a 'girlfriends' ear, same went for Candice having someone to gush with about everything.

"So what did you want to talk about? You sounded very vague on the phone."

"Do you want something to drink?"

"Sure, whatever you're having is fine. So this must be something big, now I am intrigued."

Candice sat on Beth's plush couch and waited for Beth to bring their drinks and take a seat as well.

"I have wanted to ask you this for awhile, I just never really knew how."

"Just ask me already."

"Biting, feeding for them, how much do you know?"

Candice laughs, "Depends on what you're asking."

Beth blushes, "Vampires, and the whole biting and feeding thing when sex is involved."

"What? I think I have missed something. You and Mick have—"

"Yes of course we have. Many times, we have spent entire days in bed together, or somewhere else…" they both giggle like little girls talking about their crush, "but that is all we do, make love, he has never…"

"He doesn't vamp out!"

"Well yes, his eyes change and I can tell his fangs descend, that's it."

"Wow." Candice shakes her head in astonishment. "That man must have some will power."

"Tell me what you know, about sex between humans and vampires." Beth has an intense look in her eyes, before letting out a slight gasp, "I mean if you know anything. I didn't mean to assume that you…"

"I know what you meant. Don't worry about it. I know a lot about feeding them, that is my job. As a 'freshie' I am there as a willing snack, something fresh, it is suppose to be better when it's fresh. As far as the sex with vampires and humans, that is not what we are paid for, nor are we expected to. Some freshies' never do more than feed, but there is something so sensual about it, feeding, then the sex in itself is incredible, you know that." Beth nods her head, boy did she know. "Yes I have spelt with a vampire or two. I have been lucky enough to work for some good vampires. They are all good in the sense that they pay and are gentle or we wouldn't work for them, but I mean nice in a way that they want us to enjoy it. I asked Josef about it when I started working for him. He is very candid, I like that about him. He said that when a vampire feed they can sense the emotions in the donor, so if we are aroused and in total bliss they drink it in. Mixing that ecstasy and the blood itself equals one happy vamp. When they bite down, there is this rush of intense pain but only for a split second then it turns into something else, I'm not sure what but something powerful and completely satisfying."

Beth is on the edge of her couch leaning forward, barely holding her drink, in such a daze listening to Candice. Candice realizes Beth's dazed state and takes her glass from her hand before she drops it, setting it on the floor, snapping Beth back to reality. Beth takes a couple deep breaths, trying to find words again.

"That is pretty much what I know on the subject. You okay."

"I will be once I catch my breath. Why did you say Mick had self control?"

"Oh well from what Josef said there is no sex without feeding, apparently he was wrong. There was something about the arousal sends them over the edge and they can not control their true self, I don't remember. I never asked again. Do you know why Mick hasn't…I mean it is obvious how much he trusts you."

"He thinks he is a monster. No matter how much I try to convince him he isn't. He has nearly feed a couple times I think. He nipped at my neck and I wanted him to, but he kissed me instead. I never wanted to push it before, now…"

"Why did you want to know today? What made today the day you asked?"

"I know Mick is planning something for me tonight. It is our first Valentines Day together, I wanted to do something for him to."

"So what are you going to do about his self control?"

"Break it!"

Beth and Candice finish up and giggle about more interesting facts about Candice's experiences as a freshie, and Beth's stories she has worked on and her first encounters with Mick before finding out his true identity. Candice leaves and heads back to Josef's, so Beth can put the final touches on her plans for Mick.

To Be Continued…
