I traced a gentle path down the column of her neck. My tongue lapped at her burning skin, as venom pooled in my mouth. An obsessive warmth built from deep within my gullet, and I groaned in response.
"She cried out my name, and I nipped lightly at her collarbone. "Now, now, my dear Isabella. I can't have you tainting this. Be quiet, so that I may enjoy the moment."
Her brown eyes came to rest on my face; I wanted her to let those eyes close. I wanted her to clutch at me and lose all self-control. I needed her to bleed for my eager lips.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I woke from my reverie, with a sharp slap to my face. I blinked, ignorant to my covens' impatience.
"Yes? What do you require of me?"
"Your attention is slipping from our conversation, brother."
"For this I do apologize, sister. It will not happen again."
"You vanished for quite some time the other day. Why?"
"My concentration wasn't up to par. I was hunting when something distracted me."
"Oh, I see!"
She clapped enthusiastically, and her red eyes watched me intently. She was probably weighting for me to elaborate. I was going to have to disappoint her; nothing about that day would slip.
The rest of the discussion passed quickly without trouble. I couldn't wait around any longer! My quiet heart was practically thumping in my chest. My body was alight with anticipation.
It was time, time for me to see her. It was time for me to act out my fantasies with this girl. No one had ever captured my interest before. I needed to know why I desired her so badly.
