TABRIA POV

I chuckle as the night class tries their best to hide their contempt for Zero. His hold on me tightens and I smile at that.

I close my eyes and focus on his presence. Although he hasn't begun showing it yet. I can feel the mending of his body and the weakening of the level E virus. A few more feeds and he'll be all clear.

Without looking I can feel Kaname's gaze. But I don't let it break me from my concentration. It's the hand that slowly begins to creep up my skirt that does that.

I open my eyes and glance back at Zero. Only he's not looking at me. I follow the direction of his gaze. He's staring at Kaname.

I roll my eyes at the pissing contest. Maybe once Zero's healed the two can fight it out. I won't even get in their way once they are on even ground. Could actually be entertaining. Speaking of entertaining...I wiggle a little in his lap as I feel him poking into my bottom. Oh Zero, you have no shame.

I lean back against Zero's chest and tilt my lips towards the shell of his ear and kiss the flesh behind his ear. He shivers slightly then his husky voice quietly reaches my ears.

"I want you in my bed tonight."

I shiver at his words before giving his neck a playful nibble.

"Can't wait," I whisper back.

Author's Note:

Hey all. Don't kill me. This isn't an update but I hate when author's post these notes so I figured I'd at least write a snippet to go with it to ease the blow. I just wanted to tell you all I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going with this story. I haven't forgotten about it and I appreciate the reviews. They are always welcomed. I'll do my best to make up for the wait with a nice long update. -RB
