The kiss grew deeper, Cosima traced my lips with her tongue, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't open my mouth and let it get even more out of hand.
I could feel the hunger rearing its head, my fangs nearly growing, I started to tremble.
I pushed her away, "why did we stop?" she was flushed and aroused, I could smell it on her, but she also smelled so tasty. I licked my lips subconsciously. "I am so sorry."
"Hey, no, you didn't do anything wrong, it was totally my fault, it's on me."
I felt a tear roll down my face, "non, you don't understand."
Cosimas' eyes widened, "Delphine…" she smeared the lone tear and inspected the liquid on her thumb, "this is blood." She looked me in the eye, her lips parting, but no words came out. After a few moments, "what are you?"
I didn't want to answer, I knew I had to, she was too damn curious and too damn smart to let it go. "I am… vampire." I whispered.
"I knew it!"
I looked at her, my eyes conveying my confusion, "what do you mean?"
"I sensed it. You have a different aura then the others on campus." She smiled.
"What?" I was truly bewildered now. The realization dawned on me. "You are a witch." her smile grew and she nodded. "And you are not afraid?" I wanted her to say no, I wanted her to stay in my life so desperately.
"No. You're different from the others I've encountered. Plus, I have magic." She laughed.
"You are very," I tried to recall the word, "cheeky." I smiled at her.
"Why did draw back?" she sounded genuinely concerned.
I didn't know how to answer her question, so I simply bared my teeth, my elongated canines showing slightly over my lower lip.
"Oh, yeah, I guess I should have thought of that." She replaced her hand on my knee, "You can't scare me that easily, I live with my sister, she's scarier than any creature that goes bump in the night." She grinned. I couldn't help but smile back. She took my hand in hers and started playing with my fingers, she lifted her gaze and looked me in the eyes, "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, if you want me to leave just say so."
I caressed her cheek, it was so warm against my cold skin, "I never want to see you go, chérie."
"Good, 'cause you're not getting rid of me so easily." She kissed me again. "I don't care about the fangs." She whispered as I tried to push her away. I've succumb to my desire and kissed her back just as passionately.

"Bloody hell Cos!" I could hear her through the walls.
"You don't understand Sarah." She was trying so hard for me. I smiled at the sentiment.
"She is a vampire. I don't want her anywhere near Kira." She nearly growled.
"Put on wards. Come on, this is important to me." I could almost see her walking in the apartment, gesturing widely and trying to explain her point using her hands.
"One hour, Kira in the other room and we put all of the wards." Sarah realized there was no way to beat Cosima.
"Yes. Good."
"Tomorrow night, at six, did you hear that fangs?"

"Hey, come on in." Cosima opened the door wider and gestured me inside.
"Merci." I kissed her lightly on the cheek. "It is nice to see you again Sarah."
"Yeah, whatever." She mumbled from the couch.
"I am sorry, have I offended you?" I tried to find another reason why she would be unpleasant, beside the obvious reason.
"No, it's not like your kind is an abomination." She took a sip of her half full whisky glass.
"Yes, witches are natural and are do anything wrong, right?" Cosima placed a hand on my shoulder, the heat sipped immediately. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to. I am very sorry."
"No, it's ok, at least now I know what your bark sounds like."

We talked until the time Sarah set was over. I got to meet Sarah's daughter. It was unintentional. She is a sweet, young girl, very bright and charming.
When I was about to leave Cosima took my hands in both of hers, "I hope you enjoyed your evening."
I smiled at her and brushed a dreadlock that slipped out of her bun, "It was the most enjoyable evening I've ever had." I smiled and kissed her deeply.
"What are you doing tonight? You know beside the now, and the standing and kissing, which is very nice, but…" I kissed her again.
"I have to go and do something. Tomorrow night, I promise you chérie." I smiled at her and left.

I walked into a frat house party. I knew I didn't have to lie, but I felt better that Cosima didn't have to hear of me feeding.
I young man came to me, "Can I offer you a drink?" he had a dazzling smile.
"Oui, you certainly can." I took his hand. He followed me willingly.

We entered an empty room, he held me against a wall and tried to kiss me, "non, naughty boy." I turned the tables and pinned him against the wall, "not before that drink." The smell of arousal seeped through his skin, it filled the air and my mouth started to water. I felt my fangs extend, I licked his neck, feeling the heartbeat right below his ear and bit hard. He sighed and went slack. I licked the small wounds clean, the marks disappearing quickly. I laid him on the bed and left quietly.

The air was cold when I left the frat house. I heard footsteps behind me, I turned quickly, baring my fangs and ready to strike, "I'm sorry." Cosima stood with her hands in the air, as if surrendering, "I just wanted to see where you were going."
My fangs retracted, "I am sorry, I had to feed, I did not want you to see me do so chérie." I approached her and drew her in my arms, she clung to me and pressed herself tighter.
"I am so sorry, I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable." She whispered in my ear.
"Don't be." I kissed her cheek.
"You have blood on your chin." She wiped it away gingerly.
I took her hand in both of mine and kissed her knuckles, "Do you want to come sleep over?" She nodded. "Good." I smiled and we went home.
