Dean watched Carmen for several hours, not seeing her doing anything weird or out of the way. She went about what seemed to be normal business for someone that ran a motel. Becoming bored with what he was doing, he crawled back into the window and then into bed to rest for the night.

Sam woke from a deep sleep sometime around 3 AM. His mouth was dry and he felt the need for something to drink. He climbed from the bed he shared with Billie and dressed. Grabbing a room key he left the room with his wallet in hand. His long legs carried him to the coke machine again and made his selection. He bent to grab the drink, popping it open on his way back to a standing position and leaned back against the wall drinking half of the can in one long gulp. It was then that he saw her; the blonde from the office had come out to lean against the machine. She had on a low cut top that allowed the pink lacy bra to peek out just enough at the top to cause a stirring in Sam.

"Thirsty?", the sultry blonde questions Sam. Sam fought the urges he was feeling inside. What was wrong with him? His girl was back in the room, asleep in their bed! "Yeah I woke up with a really bad thirst.", Sam finally answered. Carmen stepped toward Sam, "Well I can see why. You and that little one screw like rabbits don't you?", she trailed a well manicured nail down Sam's chest and over his stomach. Sam wanted to step back but his back was against the wall. "What would you say if I told you I had something that would help that thirst?" Sam was all but sucked in by the closeness and the seductiveness of her. "I don't even know your name. Why would I take something from you?", he said as harshly as he could.

Carmen stepped back and threw back her head, a peal of laughter tinkling forth from her open mouth. "You're stalling Sammy. My name is Carmen. Now how about that thing to wet your whistle?" Sam wanted to tell her to shove it but he found himself wondering what she was offering him. "So what is this wonder potion?", Sam asked as he took another swig from the can in his hand. Carmen crooks her finger at him and says, "You only need to follow me into the office." Sam finds himself pushing away from the wall and following Carmen even though his head was telling him not to. He watched the swaying of her hips as she walked behind the counter and then held open a door behind that, offering him to come inside.

He stepped inside the lavish room and saw a large couch over in one corner. Walking over to the couch he sits down. Carmen walks into the room, closes the door behind her and locks it. Part of Sam is saying this is a bad idea and part of him is excited beyond belief. Carmen makes her way over to stand in front of where Sam is sitting and soon is on her knees between her legs. Sam's whole body is screaming for him to leave from this situation but he's glued to his seat. Carmen runs her hands over Sam's thighs and smiles up at him. "I've got just the thing that you need baby.", she purrs. With that she pulls a smallish dagger from her boot and cuts her arm just above the wrist. Holding it up to Sam's mouth she purrs, "Drink my prince." Sam didn't feel any remorse at all as he leaned forward, took her arm in his hands and put his lips to the open wound. He drank the blood in as he looked up into her eyes. While he watched her, she blinked and he saw her eyes go black. She was a demon! Now it all made perfect sense to him!

When she wanted Sam to stop drinking her blood, she pulled her arm away. "Now would you like to know the real me?", she asks, her hands on Sam's knees. Sam felt like his head was all cloudy but he also felt stronger than he had ever felt. He nodded his head at the bewitching demon. "You may know me better as Ruby.", she smiles coyly at him. Sam sat bolt upright, pushing her back onto her bottom on the floor at that admission. "Damn you Ruby! What the hell have you done to me?", he growled.

Ruby began to laugh and the sound was deep, throaty and seductive. "You'll not be cursing me soon my prince. You'll come crawling to me every night with that deep, unquenchable thirst." Sam whirled and frowned down at Ruby as she began to rise from the floor. "Did you make me thirst like I have for the past two nights?", he accused. "Why whatever do you mean?", Ruby started and then changed her mind. "Yes I bewitched you that very first night you came in. I knew you were with Billie but some of my old life creeps back into my new one. See I was a witch before I was a demon." Sam listened to Ruby with unbelief. "You won't get away with this Ruby!", he started but was stopped by the look of amusement on Ruby's face. "And just what are you going to do about it now? You have my blood pumping through your veins. You'll come crawling back to me soon enough. Go be with your little lamb, make love to her but you will be thinking of me all the while!"

Sam stumbled toward the door and flung it open. He left that office as quickly as he could and vowed to not come back here unless it was to kill Ruby. He slowly made his way back to his room, pulled the key from his pocket and opened the door quietly. His heart broke as he saw Billie sound asleep on the bed, only half covered by the sheets as she lay sleeping on her stomach. The swell of her hips visible through the sheets pulled low over her body made him yearn for her. He walked toward the bed and felt his heart speed up, he supposed from the demon blood. Walking to her side of the bed he reached down and trailed his calloused fingers down her spine.

**************************************

I felt Sam's fingers before I even heard him. Smiling I began to stir from my deep sleep and rolled to my side, facing Sam, as my eyes fluttered open. Oh how I loved the feel of his hands on my soft body. When I looked up into his eyes I had the distinct feeling that something was up with Sam but when he leaned down to kiss me deeply all cognizant thought left my brain. I opened myself up to him, he tasted of whiskey and smoke, which was weird for Sam but I shrugged that off too. He was here and he wanted me and I wanted him and that was all that mattered.
