Chapter 10

Numb. That's how Leah felt when she woke up. She was numb as she took a shower. Numb as she got dress. Numb as she ate breakfast. Numb as she drove to work. She was even numb when Daniel chewed her out for almost being late, putting up no witty comeback what so ever. She worked like a robot, taking orders and getting them done with a blank look on her face. Of course none of the customers noticed but Sash did.

"Alright what's the matter?" She asked as Leah was filling the sugar shakers.

"Nothing." Leah replied.

Sash sighed and sat down beside her. "It's not nothing Leah. You're acting like I used to when Tony started…" Her eyes went wide. "Is that it? Leah did someone hit you?"

"What? N-no, no Sash come on, do I look like the type of person who'd let a man beat her?"

"You also look like the type of person who wouldn't admit it if she was being beat." Sash said.

Leah put down the sugar container and put her hands on her friend shoulders staring into her eyes.

"Sash I swear on my dad's grave that no one is beating me. I don't even have a boyfriend."

"That's good." Sash sighed. "So what's eating you then?"

"My brother hurt himself last night."

"Seth!" Sash gasped. "Is he okay?"

Leah shrugged. "He broke his wrist and bruised a rib or two but he'll be fine." "How'd it happen?"

"He was riding his bike and ran into a tree." Leah lied.

Just then their co-worker Jenny came up to them rubbing her eyes that were red and teary.

"Hey can one of you guys take table six? There's a guy there with a dog and just a small whiff of the creature is making my allergies flare up."

"I'll take it." Leah said grabbing her pen and notebook and walking over to the table.

"What would you like sir-" Leah stopped, her pen dropping in shock as she got a look of who the costumer was.

It was Felix. The vampire wore a deep red sweater black leather biker gloves and jeans with black tinted sunglasses covering his crimson color eyes. Beside him was a Siberian puppy with silver grey fur and green eyes gnawing at the leash around his neck.

Leah was so shocked all Leah could say was, "Your not allowed to bring a dog in here."

Felix chuckled a little at the shocked look on her face.

"I can have him here if eye have an eye problem." he answered.

"You can see just fine." Leah said through gritted teeth.

Felix pulled his glasses down a little so she could see his eyes. "I think this qualifies as an eye problem." He pushed them back into place. "Besides I couldn't leave this little guy out side where he could cause trouble."

"What are you doing here?" Leah demanded.

"To see you. Say I'm sorry for hurting your brother."

Her hands curled into fist at her sides. "Thank you, now get out."

As she turned to walk away Felix latched onto her wrist.

"Let. Go." She said her eyes flashing with anger.

"No, sit down." Felix said.

"I don't have to do that."

Felix sighed. "Look I came this place to either do two things. One talk to you or two to eat. Now if you don't want to talk…." His eyes strayed to the family in the booth next to them.

Leah's eyes widen for a second before narrowing in a glare. "Bastard." She said in a low growl as she sat down across from him.

"What do you want to talk about?" Leah asked.

"Us." Felix said. "Or rather what the hell is going on between us."

"What do you mean?"

Felix leaned in closer. "I mean about the fact how I can't get you out of my head. How my body aches for you. How my heart always start beating when I'm near you like right now."

Felix could tell by the look on her face that she could hear the dull thudding of his heart.

"What's going on Leah? 'Cause all this is starting to freak me out a little."

A look of what appeared to be concern and worry flashed on the girls face for a brief second before it turned back to stone.

"I don't know what's going on Felix. All I do know is that last night should have never happened and I need you to leave me alone."

Felix grabbed onto her wrist. "You're lying." He growled.

"No I am not." She said calmly.

"Yes you are. I can hear your heart beating faster in your chest. You know exactly what's happening and," His grin turned wicked. "I think you enjoyed what we did last night."

Her copper cheeks flushed red and her heart sped up in her breast.

"No I did not." She denied firmly.

The grin turned positively evil and Felix other hand began to trail up her arm, tracing the veins pulsing beneath her skin. "Yes you did and I enjoyed it too. Every moan and gasp had me turned me on and had me burning for more."

"Stop." Leah said.

But of course Felix didn't. "And I would've done more Leah, if your mom hadn't walked in I would've stripped you naked and feasted on you're other breast before moving lower to your core."

"Stop." She said again, a hint of begging in her tone.

"I would've tasted your every fold and plunged my tongue deep into the heat of you then let my fingers do the same, stretching you to prepare you for me."

"Please stop." She begged, sweat beading on her brow and chest heaving in rapid pants. Felix could smell her arousal and the scent spurred his own.

"Only when you were screaming my name, begging me to take you hard and deep would I spread your legs open wide and plunge into you with wild abandon, not stopping till you came at least three times before finishing myself. Then after a few minuets I'd do it all over again."

Leah gave out a whimper, her teeth biting into her bottom lip so hard she drew blood. Leaning closer Felix tasted the crimson drop, groaning at the exquisite taste.

"I could do all that and more Leah." He whispered. "Just say the word.
