Ok ladies and Gentleman, Gabby gets a little of her own back here. Oh and for those of you who enjoyed the Captive/Captor roles I have going on, it will get a little lessened here (may bring back harder than ever later on...Who knows ; )

Eric is still in control BUT Gabby will have more power than before which I hope you will enjoy as much as I will.

Eric allowed Gabriella to draw him closer to her; even he knew he owed her that after harming her wrings and then continuing to taunt her with it. Her teeth were quite strange, they came from her gums like a Vampires; but were greater in quantity and quite sharp. He was glad he was correct in assuming she had some means of feeding, it meant he had some knowledge of her natural abilities. He had heard rumours that Angels could feed on others; of course his information was over eight hundred years old; so probably lacking in its truth but it was better than nothing.

Eric stopped himself from hissing in pleasure as he felt her tongue caress him softly, leaving a surprising lack of sensation in his neck. Not wondering at the need for it Eric relaxed as her teeth poised over him, after all he had been bitten while fucking another Vampire many times; it was a kind of sexual release for his species. Yes Eric wasn't worried, until she bit down and the pain shocked through his system like lightening through water.

Even though I despise the monster, I do feel bad when he cried out at the pain that accompanies my bite. Not that the initial bite itself is painful, more the poison infecting his system is. No matter what type of creature I am forced to feed on, I find a sort of toxin is poured throughout their bodies. Not dangerous in any way, it does however make the original 'borrowing' of abilities easier for a particular type of Angel to transition. And sadly for Eric, I happened to be that particular type of creature. I could feel Eric's muscles tense in preparation for tossing me off him, pride or not I knew he wasn't willing to endure the agony I was unintentionally inflicting upon him. Hoping I had gotten enough of his strength I shoved Eric down, clambered on top of him body, pinned down his arms and held on for the ride of my life as I got my fill of him. I knew it wouldn't be much longer before the toxin/poison overcame his defences and was accepted, I hoped it would also come with the occasionally useful benefit of making it possible for me to sense him when he was near; handy considering I needed to get the hell outa here, because he was gunna be pissed...

I felt Eric's considerable form finally relax beneath me, but I could practically feel him vibrate with fury beneath me; a Vampire as old as Eric would be able to sense what I took a chunk of. I had no real control of my teeth like other creatures; they simply retracted when I had healed; handy if you didn't want to kill, but bad when you did. Still holding down Eric's ridiculously bulging arms, I slowly sat up on him, looked him in the eyes and said the only thing I could think of.

"Thanks" I was to full of energy to even think about stuttering, hell at the moment I was Queen of this fucking hill, Eric being the hill, which actually wasn't far off the mark considering his height...

"I would suggest you release my arms Gabriella" I knew from his oh so calm voice, that the second I released him, I would be a literal Angel in Heaven.

"Not right now" I wanted to make the most of strong speech me, before fate took it away again. Eric tried once again to get loose, but my years of rodeo on a fake bull in a bar for money paid off; and I hung on...Barely, he must be really mad to almost topple me off him given my current strength.

"Why am I weaker?" growled Eric, damn I was hoping he wouldn't notice that.

"Well when I was uh guess you would call it 'feeding', I sort of borrowed some of your strength" at his furious look I quickly added "It will come back once you feed, or sleep..."

"Release me" he roared, I gulped at the noise... It was almost like the roar of a lion, only somehow sexy. Bad Gabby stop being attracted to evil killing Viking pricks, shaking my head I somehow managed to reply to him.

"Yeah because I'd be ignorant enough to release a thousand year old Vampire... One with a blood grudge... I'm young not stupid."

"You were foolish enough to steal from me" ground out Eric. I didn't even bother pointing out that I borrowed not stole his strength and he offered in the first place, he would never listen considering the state he was in. I had a feeling I was going to be playing rodeo with Eric for awhile, so I settled down more comfortable on his chest.

"You know Eric, you should think about gaining a little weight. Hate to tell you this, but you're about as comfortable as sitting on a rocky hill." At my words Eric stopped struggling enough to raise one annoyingly sardonic eyebrow, suspicion entered his eyes quickly after.

"How is it you suddenly do not stutter like a mouse?" I narrowed my eyes at the comparison of me to a mouse, it was just mean.

Sitting up on him again, I somehow transferred both his wrists into one hand (impressive considering their width); the other unconsciously making circles on his chest with small fingers. "One mice do not stutter and two whenever I happen to feed... I just lose it naturally, not sure why."

I glanced up from my doodling into Eric's eyes, they where no longer filled with anger but realisation. Startled I stopped my hand movements instantly, "what?"

"You don't quite know what you're capable of, do you?" I was shocked, how he could possibly know that; scared out of my mind I quickly went on the defence.

"Of course I know what I am doing; I'm an Angel for Christ's sake and yes I know I probably just blasphemed or whatever."

Eric's next question surprised me more "How old are you?"

"What? I'm eighteen if you must know, what has that to do with anything. I would think you would be more concerned with the fact that a girl has you pinned like a bitch" I knew it was stupid, but an angry Eric was better than a curious one. Unfortunately he completely ignored my comments, he merely looked amused.

I squeezed on his wrists in anger, "What the hell is so damned funny?"

He didn't even flinch, just laughed. "I find it ironic that a baby managed to completely interest me like you have. That and the fact that besides the fact that you're an Angel with an annoying habit of thieving when feeding; you have no idea what you are capable of."

"Oh and what am I capable of?" For once my voice was not sarcastic or angry, I was genially curious about what he knew; because despite my wishes, I really had no idea what I could do... Not fully anyway.

"That Gabriella is what I intend to find out" I shivered at the promise in his words, also the appraising look he gave my breasts might have had something to do with the shiver too. Then I did something that shocked both of us. I released his hands and allowed them to rest on my waist. Rather than try and throw me off, Eric stayed where he was; his hands lightly making circles on my hips.

"Why would you release me Gabriella, you of all creatures should know what I am capable of" his hand tightened around me as he spoke. But I still didn't move, I suppose I was thinking or considering.

"At the moment I am stronger than you Eric, even if you managed to harm me I would still be able to rip you apart." To my shock I sensed a small amount of realisation enter Eric, which meant that he had forgotten I was stronger... so why hadn't he attacked?

"I don't believe I wish to attack you...Strange" I was riled at the constant curious look in Eric's eyes, like I was a creature in a lab to be studied and prodded; but at the moment what I could feel prodding me, was not exactly a scientific object.

"How is that strange, I'm a l...loveable creature" I gasped in dismay at my stutter, which meant sooner rather than later my enhanced strength would be gone and I would be defenceless. Eric smirked at my speech, so I gave him my best 'bring it' look. Sadly he was wise enough not to attack me while I was still strong, no he wouldn't attack me now; he would wait until I was curled up in a bed then bundle me into a sack and toss me off a very big bridge.

"You really must learn to school you facial expressions, I can taste the fear on you" growled Eric, his fangs popping down.

"I. Am. Not. Afraid" punctuating each word with a very satisfying shove on his muscled chest, so really did no damage whatsoever. Eric just laughed, I realised then he was enjoying himself. Then it occurred to me why, here I was on top of him naked as the day I was born. Squealing I jumped off him and grabbed the sheet, wrapping it around my body. Unbelievable, I was so busy enjoying my power I didn't even realise I was flaunting myself; damned blood the power in it made my oblivious to my more shy side, which was basically my only side normally.

Still laughing Eric lounged into a sitting position, he knew he was starting to gain the upper hand again; that's if he ever really lost it.

"Why didn't you say something" I ground out, furious at both myself and him.

"Now why would I do that when the view is so... Delicious" I felt his eyes on my back as I practically ran into the bathroom. Screaming "I am not a damned chew toy" as I slammed the door; sadly not before I heard him say "No but you are mine."
