I don't own Twilight
11. UnExpecting
Skye
Edward had taken some time off from the hospital for the holidays so he was home with me all day. We spent the first couple of days reading novels to each other and watching movies, just veggin' out. Toward the end of the week a big snow storm was headed our way and in the Cullen house a snow or thunderstorm meant game night. Since the snow was going to be significant they planned a football game. Twelve inches of snow on the ground would make a good cushion for their colliding bodies.
The night of the big game I was feeling under the weather, which was weird because I never got sick.
"Eddie, I think I'm going sit this one out. I'm not feeling too well." I confessed.
He flit to my side and checked my pulse and head for fever.
"Your pulse is a little weak. Let me take you upstairs so you can lie down." He started to take his coat off.
"I can stay home, Edward. I know you want to go to the game." Rose offered.
"I got it, Rose. You go ahead," Eddie said.
"Aww, come on, let Rose stay. You're on my team this time." Emmett complained.
Rose slapped his arm.
"No offense babe, but he is the fastest. We're a shoe in to win this time if he runs the ball."
"Listen, both of you can go to the game," I said. "I'm fine; it's probably just the weather. I'm not used to the cold. My body's just adjusting."
"Thanks again Rose, and sorry Em, but I'm staying with Skye," he said, totally ignoring my last statement.
"Fine, Edward." Rose kissed my forehead. "I hope you feel better. We'll talk when I get back."
I nodded.
Alice gave me a hug and kissed my cheek.
"See ya when I get back." She smiled.
As they walked out the door Eddie scooped me up and flit up the stairs.
"Alright beautiful, to bed with you. How about some soup?" he asked, laying me on the bed.
"That sounds good actually."
"You want the TV on?" he asked and I nodded.
He scanned the room for the remote. I saw it sitting on the dresser across the room before he noticed it. It started floating across the room then hovered in front of him. He grabbed it and looked at me.
"You really don't feel well, do you? You never use your other gifts. Are you that tired?"
"Yes."
He turned the TV on and handed the remote to me before walking out of the room.
"I'll be back with your soup, rest," he said.
My head was spinning. What was wrong with me? As I sat there I thought back. Not one time could I remember being sick.
Eddie interrupted my thoughts when he entered the room. He handed me the bowl of soup and I drank it down fast. I hadn't realized how hungry I was but I was starting to feel better already.
"Maybe I was just hungry," I said to him.
"Maybe," he said, looking worried.
"I'm fine, it'll pass." I grabbed his hand. "I'm glad you're off tonight. I miss having you home with me," I said, changing the subject.
"I know I've been working a lot, but I'm almost done with my residency. And after I'm done I'll take some time off and we'll go on a trip. I'll make it up to you. I promise." He smiled.
"Where are we going to go?" I asked.
"Wherever you want to go, Paris, maybe. You said you've never been."
"You mean it? You'll take me to Paris?" I sat up.
"I'll give you whatever is in my power to give, Skye. All you have to do is ask," he said, laying his head in my lap.
I stroked his hair and lay back on the big pillows behind me. We watched CNN for a little bit. Then I surfed the channels.
"Nothing's on, how about a movie?" I asked.
"What do you want to see?" he asked, lifting his head and turning toward me.
"Umm… I'm not sure. Maybe…" I started, then he held up his hand.
"Shhh!" he said, reaching for the remote.
I handed it to him and he muted the TV. He lay his head on my belly and wrapped his hands around my waist. He pulled my body closer to his and smashed his ear to my lower stomach.
"Eddie, what are you doing?" I asked.
Was my stomach growling?
"Shhh!" he said again.
I rolled my eyes.
Then he sat up quickly and jumped off the bed. His face was grimaced.
"Shit, shit, shit, not again!" He flit to the dresser and grabbed his cell phone.
"Carlisle, how fast can you get back here?" He paced the floor as he spoke. Most of the conversation I didn't catch, he was talking too fast. Even with my sense of hearing I was only catching pieces. Then he hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He didn't seem to hear me; he just continued to pace the floor. But I knew he heard me. He had vamp hearing, which meant he was ignoring me.
"Edward!" I said louder.
He looked at me finally realizing I was in the room and walked over to the bed and sat down.
"We need to talk." He looked concerned so I sat up and he continued. "Have you ever had any testing done to prove that you couldn't have children, that you didn't ovulate?" he asked.
"What? What are you talking about?" I didn't understand his line of questioning.
"Did a doctor tell you that you couldn't conceive or did you just assume that you couldn't because you never had a menstrual cycle?"
"No, I saw a doctor about it, but he had never seen anyone with my 'unique' characteristics. He had no idea what to think about me. He seemed pretty sure that I couldn't have children."
"How long ago was this?" he asked.
"Right after my mom died, about twenty years ago, I guess."
He shook his head.
"Skye, you're fifty but you look seventeen; nineteen at the most. Twenty years ago you may have been twelve or thirteen biologically because you age so slow. Did you ever consider that maybe you just hadn't had your first menses yet? Human woman start their periods at different ages and you don't really know your true biological age. Some of them have their periods sporadically as well. Some don't have periods at all, but they still ovulate."
"I know all that, Eddie. I understand human anatomy and physiology very well. What's this all about?"
"Well, I think that doctor you saw was right about one thing. He really knew nothing about your 'unique' genetics, and he was wrong about you not being able to conceive."
"Come again?"
"Skye, I...I think you're pregnant," he said slowly.
I looked at him.
"That's not funny, Edward."
"I'm not joking. You weren't ovulating then because you weren't old enough biologically to do so. And when you did start ovulating you didn't have the bloody show. Which actually makes a lot of sense in your case. A female with vamp DNA shouldn't bleed. That wouldn't be good. It would be beneficial for you not to bleed when you live in a house full of vampires. You do have vamp DNA, so it could be the venom in your blood that triggers it. Like some sort of defense mechanism.
"I can't be. I was with Chevalier for years and I never got pregnant." I was trying to rationalize.
"That means nothing, maybe it was him that couldn't procreate. Maybe your body wasn't ready or mature enough to sustain life. There are so many variables to consider, Skye. But trust me, you are pregnant," he said.
Pregnant? I couldn't think. I looked at Eddie, silently asking if he were sure.
"I can hear its heart beating when I lay on your stomach. It's very different from your own. It's like Nessie's, very fast and very distinct."
"Yes, like my dad's." I recalled in my memories laying on his chest as girl while he rocked me to sleep. The rapid fluttering of his heart sounded like hummingbird wings.
"Yes, exactly like that," he said, listening to my thoughts.
I couldn't breath. I felt like I was suffocating. I laid my head against Eddie's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yes, just give me a second. It's a lot to take in." I paused. "And you sure?" I had to ask again.
"I'm quite positive. Our baby is growing inside of you right now," he said, looking down at the floor.
My hand went to my belly.
"That's why I'm sick."
I was overwhelmed. For over twenty years I thought that this was an impossible dream for me, and here I was, pregnant. I started to cry.
"Skye, I'm sorry. I've should've known better. I knew this could happen. Well I didn't because I didn't know hybrids could procreate, but I have no excuses this time."
He wouldn't look at me. He thought my tears, were tears of sorrow.
"What are you talking about? What are you sorry for? I didn't even think I could have children."
"I know, but I should've been more careful. If you don't want to have the…"
"Stop it, Edward! Don't even say it! Of course I want this child, your child, our child." He was feeling guilty and about to say something stupid.
"Skye, the pregnancy will be hard, even for you. I know you're stronger than a human, but the child will be stronger than you. You know that. Carlisle and I learned a lot from Bella's pregnancy, but I can't make you any promises on your mortality. I will change you if you're dying. I won't let you leave me. Do you understand what having my child may cost you?" he asked, still not looking at me.
I climbed on his lap and lifted his head. His eyes met mine.
"I understand, and I don't care. I told you I'd let you change me. It'll just be a lot sooner than I hoped. I don't want to leave you or our baby, so if I'm dying Edward, change me."
I tried to read him. He was unsure so I continued. "Do you love me?"
"Of course I do," he replied, looking at me.
"Ok, then this next question is important..." I whispered to him, "...so tell me the god's honest truth," I said, looking into his eyes. "Do you want this baby?"
I was scared of what he might say after everything he'd gone through with Bella and Nessie. What if he said 'no'. What would I do?
"I've never wanted anything more than this, than us. I want you to have my child," he said, rubbing my stomach.
I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck tightly.
"Then we'll make it work. I trust you and Carlisle. I know I'm in the best hands."
He took my face in his hands and kissed me long and slow. It took my breath away.
"Thank you, I know this isn't easy for you," he said, closing his eyes.
He wanted this child as much as I did and he felt bad about that. He thought he was being selfish and not considering me.
"I'm doing this for us, for our family. Everything will be alright."

When Carlisle arrived he came up to the room. He examined me and I took a pregnancy test.
"Well there's no doubt. You are pregnant. We need to get you started on the blood, the sooner the better. We can't go by your menstrual cycle to determine how far along you are so when's the last time you two had sex?"
Eddie laughed."Yeah, that's not going to work either, Carlisle. We've had sex every day for the past month."
Carlisle looked at Edward and shook his head. Edward shrugged, smirking.
"Ok Skye, stand up."
Eddie helped me up off the bed. Carlisle measured around my belly which was protruding just a little already. How had I missed that? He pulled out a chart of measurements.
"These are from Bella's pregnancy. Some of them are just our estimates, and probably not very accurate, but it should give us an idea of where you are," he said, looking at the chart.
"Looks like you're about eight or nine weeks along. That would mean you got pregnant about six days ago, give or take a day or two."
"The shower." We both thought at the same time.
The day he proposed to me is the day I got pregnant. Now I would remember it for two reasons.
"Two months already? I need to start my potion," I said, looking at Eddie.
"Of course, the potion, the one your mom and aunt took. Will it work on you like it worked on them?" he asked.
"It may not slow it down to a normal human rate of pregnancy, but it will make things more bearable," I said.
Carlisle looked at us confused. So I started to explain in the short version.
"The reason my family is even able to exsist is because my mom and her potion. When she was pregnant with my brother she knew her pregnancy wouldn't be a normal one. My father had told her of his conception and birth. So she made a potion that would slow his growth. It also help to bind his movement so he wouldn't kill her from the inside out. The potion helped make her pregnancy as normal as it could be. She started the potion late with PJ, so he was born in six months. But he was a healthy, full term baby. It was lot easier with me. As soon as she found out she was pregnant she started her potion. So I was only two months early. But again, I was a healthy, full term baby."
"But there's more isn't there?" Carlisle asked.
"Well, I'm not sure how well it will work on me and our baby. I have vampire blood. I'm not one hundred percent human. So our baby will be more vampire than Nessie, my cousins, my brother and me," I said.
"We can up the dosage," Eddie said.
"No we can't. You can only take one vile a day, anything more might be too much for the baby. Vampire or not." I said.
"How does it work?" Carlisle asked.
"Well, in theory, it slows the metabolic rate down by decreasing the speed of cellular division. It will slow the fetuses' growth to a more normal speed. We'll know if it's working by the heart rate. If it slows, that's a sign that the fetuses metabolism is slowing as well. If we increase the dose it may stop things all together. I'm not sure how to calibrate the dosage based on the amount of vampiric blood and it's not a risk I'm willing to take with my child." I said.
"How is it administered?" Carlisle asked. He was worried that it wasn't safe.
"In the blood that I have to drink. That way it goes directly to the baby. It will get most of the potion I consume quicker this way. The rest will obviously be absorbed by me. The fetus will get a constant and consistent low dose through my blood." I explained.
He was thinking about it.
"If this works, we could keep her human."
"I've seen her family, it works, Carlisle," Eddie said.
"We'll try it after I research the ingredients. Give Edward the recipe," he said and I wrote it down.
"I'll want to examine you daily until we're sure of the drink's affect on you and the baby." He looked to Eddie. "Edward, we need to get started, everyday is precious now. Make me a copy of that and I'll start the research. You go see if you can find the ingredients. I hope they're common," he said, looking at me.
"Fairly, the best place to get the ingredients around here would be an Indian medicine man. Is there a reservation around here?"
"Yes, and if all else fails I'll call Jacob. If I can get everything tonight, I'll have it ready for you by the morning."
"Oh...umm...Eddie, I'll need to make it. There are incantations that go with it and I'm not sure it will work if you do it," I said and they both looked at me.
"Incantations? Like magic spells," Eddie said.
"It is more of a...spiritual thing." He looked at me in disbelief. "My mom was a 'voodoo' priestess, remember? A lot of what she dealt with was other worldly."
"You said magic had nothing to do with it."
"I said magic had nothing to do with my abilities. And it doesn't. That's mostly genetic anomalies. Regular humans could possess the same abilities with the right genetic predisposition. Their gifts may not be as strong as mine, but with my mom being who she is, and my dad being what he is, I think it heighten my predisposition." I smiled.
"Hocus pocus, huh?"
"I would never do anything to hurt our baby, you have to trust me. This will work."
He took a deep breath and kissed me. "I know, and I do."
We could 'hear' the family's impending return. They were wondering why Carlisle had left the game so abruptly. He just told them to finish the game and not to worry. We looked at him.
"You didn't tell them?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"It's not my news to tell." He smiled, looking at Edward.
We were in the bedroom waiting for them. They came right upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Eddie said.
I was sitting on the bed in between Eddie's legs and Carlisle was on the sofa.
"What's going on, Carlisle?" Emmett asked.
Carlisle looked at Edward. "Go on, son."
"Skye's with child. We're going to have a baby." He smiled.
There was a silence. They weren't even breathing. They were all worried about me. Nothing filled the room but their thoughts and memories of Bella's pregnancy.
"It's not going to be like Bella's pregnancy. My family is filled with hybrids remember. There is a way to make this work," I said.
I filled them in on the history a little more, our plans, and what we thought the outcome would be. They all listened and said nothing.
Finally Rose spoke up.
"So I was right then? You are a damn witch." She smiled, walking over to the bed.
"Not really. Well kind of I guess. Oh, shut up, Rose!" I smiled.
She hugged me, then Eddie.
"Congratulations, this is great. I'm going to be an auntie again!"
"Damn Edward, you're a fucking baby making machine. You just keep popping 'em out." Em teased and Edward smiled crookedly. "Seriously congratulations, little brother. If you're happy, I love it." He hugged Eddie then turn to me. He picked me up off the bed and held me in a tight bear hug. "You're making me an uncle again, thank you."
"You're welcome." I gasped because he was squeezing me so tight.
Esme was delighted that soon there would be another baby in the house. She kissed and hugged us both.
Alice looked worried.
"What's wrong, Alice?" I asked.
"I can't see you anymore," she said. "The baby is a hybrid. I can't see hybrids very well and it gives me awful headaches to try. You alone was bad enough; but now with the baby inside of you I'm totally blind. I'll try to watch you through others, but as long as you're pregnant, I won't be able to see you." She looked at me then at Eddie.
"Well that's okay. You can't always watch everything and everyone, Alice." She looked sad. "Please don't be sad, be happy for me. I'm having a baby, and you're going to be an aunt again."
"I'm not sad, just worried. I don't like being blind, Skye." She sighed.
"I know."
"I'm sorry, it really is wonderful news." She perked up a bit.
I walked to her and we hugged.
"What the fuck!?" We all turned quickly. "Am I the only one who thinks this shit is crazy? You're putting her life in danger. If you can't keep your dick in your pants, can you at least wear a rubber?" Jazz said.
"Jazz!" I yelled and Em laughed.
Jazz and I had become really good friends and he had become very protective of me. I went to him and took his hand in mine.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm going to be fine." I smiled.
He smiled back but he didn't mean it. I reached up to hug him. If got upset, his mood would change everyone else's. He let me go and kissed my hand.
"If something happens to you Angel, I'm going to kill Edward," he said, looking at Eddie.
"I wish you wouldn't do that." I laughed and hugged him again. "Be happy for us."
He sighed and took a deep breath twisting my hair around his finger like he did when we read together.
"Please Jazz, you know how much this means to me. I need you to be okay with this," I said and kissed the corner of his mouth.
He conceded.
"Fine, you know I'd do anything for you," he said and kissed me on the lips.
"I do." I agreed.
For us it was nothing, but everyone was now watching our interaction wide eyed and a bit confused. He went to Eddie and they did some weird guy handshake and hugged.
"Congratulations, kid, I love ya," he said.
"Same here. But you know how much I love her. I would never do, or allow her to do anything that would hurt her."
Jazz nodded.
"And Jazz, watch where you put those damn lips of yours, cowboy," Eddie warned.
Jazz laughed and pulled me to him quickly. He dipped me backward and licked up my neck. I smacked his arm and squirmed.
"Ewww, that's gross!" I complained.
"Damn it Jasper, quit fucking playing with me!" Eddie growled not looking happy.
"Oh shit Ed, you know I'm just fucking with you." Jazz smiled slyly.
"Well that shit isn't funny! I don't go around licking Alice!"
"You could, wanna trade?" He teased silently, wagging his eyebrows.
Eddie pounced on him. They wrestled around on the floor like two small children.
"That's enough boys," Esme said walking over them like it was nothing and normal.
Edward looked at Jazz.
"That's it, your little late night visits to my room to read with my fiancee' are over, asshole."
Jazz laughed but he knew Edward was serious.
"Oh come on, I was kidding. Damn, can't you take a joke?"
"No," he said and I laughed.
I yawned and everyone noticed, even Eddie and Jazz as they helped each other up off the floor. They all started to clear out.
"You guys don't have to go," I said.
They all just yelled at me to get some rest. Eddie sat next to me on the bed.
"I'm going out to get these ingredients. I should be back by morning. I think everything is going to be alright." He smiled.
"Me too. I'm so happy, and I love you." I lay my head on his shoulder.
He reached around and stroked my hair. "I love you too, mon amour."
I could tell he didn't want to leave.
"Eddie, go on. You have to get the stuff. We don't have time to waste."
He stood up and kissed my nose.
"Alright get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning." He left the room.
I lay back on the soft bed and the first thing I thought was that I needed to call my dad. I sat back up.
"Tomorrow Skye, you can call them tomorrow. You need your rest," Eddie said.
"Okay, and don't forget to call Nessie and tell her."
"I won't, now sleep."
I lay back down and closed my eyes. I was so happy, and so tired, I didn't protest.
Edward
In the car I finally had a chance to think. Everything was happening so fast. I had met Skye just eight short months ago. Now we were engaged and she was pregnant with my child. She had entered my life calm and quiet, and at a time when I wasn't even sure if I could love again. She changed that, she changed me, and now everything between us was raging and passionate.
It's funny how life had its twist and turns. I lost one great love only to find another. Two great loves in one decade, what had I been doing wrong those first hundred years? Had I not been receptive enough or had loving Bella opened up a flood gate and my heart? I would always be grateful to her for teaching me how to love and to Skye for showing me how it felt to be loved, to be a lover and what it means to be a man. I was learning to love and just enjoy life, something I had never done before.
I didn't reach home until after noon, but I had everything I needed. Skye met me at the door and jumped into my arms as I approached the porch.
I shook my head.
"You've got to be more careful." I chastised her.
"I'm fine. Besides, I knew you'd catch me," she said and kissed me.
"Every time." I smiled, carrying her into the house. "Did you call your family?" I asked.
"I did. They're so excited for us. I told them we'd come see them before the baby is born. My grand mere wants to be here with me when I have the baby," she said, glowing.
"I think we can make that happen." I stood her on her feet. "I don't know if we'll be able to visit though. I don't think it would be wise in your condition."
"I don't have a condition, Eddie. I'm pregnant. And once you and Carlisle figure out my due date I want to plan a trip home."
I shook my head.
"I don't think that's going to be possible, mon amour."
She turned away from me. I felt bad that I had to tell her 'no'. I didn't want to, but I wasn't sure if it was safe to be that far away from home not knowing what to expect with the pregnancy.
I sighed and took her by the waist. I couldn't take it if she was mad at me.
"I'll see what I can do, okay? No promises. Maybe they can come here or something."
She turn to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I bent over to kiss her.
"Thank you." She grinned.
"Don't thank me yet." I winked.

In the kitchen she already had a big, cast iron pot boiling on the stove. She sat the bag on the counter and started to add the ingredients. I sat and watched as she mumbled spells and chants as she stirred the pot.
Carlisle had been in his office all night researching the list of ingredients. He felt they were more than safe but couldn't understand how they would work. Most of them were just mild sedatives, herbs and natural pain relievers according to the internet. Mixed together they must have become something more. Carlisle was intrigued, never one to underestimate myths, legends, superstitions, the supernatural and now magic. He had seen too much to think it couldn't work.
The question now was how long the pregnancy would last? The longer it lasted, the better for both her and the fetus. None of thought it would last as long as a human pregnancy but we were hoping to get at least the seven months her mother had with her. Everything depended on how well the baby's body accepted the potion.
The potion itself took two hours to make and smelled horrible. After letting the potion cool Skye ladled it into small glass vials. She gave one to Carlisle, because he wanted to study its composition. Then she explained to me how to prepare the drink, demonstrating as she did.
"Warm the blood first. You can't reheat the potion once it's cool. It may alter it. Pour it in the blood. It's best if I have it with my first cup of blood for the day, more time to process it. I can only have one a day and it has to be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably dark," she said as she sat the remaining vials in the cabinet and shut the door.
I nodded. "I got it."
She picked up the glass of blood, gave it a quick stir with her finger, and started to drink it down very fast almost choking.
"Whoa, slow down," I said wide eyed.
She licked her lips. She was remembering the taste, savoring it. I watched, amazed at her fondness for blood. She looked at me.
"What? The baby's hungry." She smirked. "It's going to be hard giving this up again. And human blood is so much sweeter." She smiled, looking at the glass. She had never drank human blood.
I laughed. "It is, and you don't have to give it up? Well the human blood you will eventually, but the other kind..."
"I know. We'll see." She laughed.

A couple of weeks had passed and Skye's belly wasn't growing as fast as we had thought it would. That was good news. It meant the drink was working better than we expected. The baby's heart rate was closer to Skye's natural rhythm, so not as slow as a humans but damn close. There was only one side affect to the potion, after Skye drank it she got very dizzy, a little lightheaded, and very drowsy. It typically would pass after an hour or so.
I had good news for her today and I smiled as I walked up the stairs. She was curled into a ball sleep when I entered the room. She slept a lot, ate a lot, all normal human pregnancy things. Her bouts with morning sickness had started to slow down and she usually did better if she didn't let the baby get too hungry. She was able to keep more human food down if she didn't. Over all this pregnancy was a lot more enjoyable than the first one I had experienced.
I sat her glass on the dresser. I was going to let her sleep but she would've been angry if I didn't wake her to tell her this.
"Mon amour." I called, rubbing her back.
She stirred and rolled over to face me.
"What's up?" she asked groggy.
"Carlisle and I have come up with a tentative due date for you. We've been going through the numbers and we're pretty certain." I smiled.
She sat up slowly. I helped her because she seemed a little disoriented.
"When then, when's the baby coming?" She was excited.
"Well if we're right and everything goes smoothly, late June."
"That long? Is the potion working that well?"
"It is. Those six days that you were pregnant were equivalent to ten weeks in utero. Bella had Nessie in one months time remember, so the baby was growing really fast without your potion. But the rate has decreased tremendously since you started it. So if the measurements continue to change at the same rate it will be late June, possibly mid June. We're taking some other things into consideration so we'll probably do the caesarean section early. We don't want you to go into labor naturally. It would be hard on you and the baby."
"Well I guess six months is doable." She smiled. "Have you figured out a way to see the baby yet?"
"No, we're still working on that. We can't figure out how to get around the sac. An ultrasound won't work, the membrane is too thick."
"What about sonar or infrasonic, they use sound waves bouncing off an image to produce a picture. Some can even see through rock, right?"
I looked at her. She was right.
"Yes, that's right. You may be on to something. I need to go talk to Carlisle," I said and flit down the stairs.
When I came back upstairs Skye was sitting on the bed drinking her glass of blood.
"Carlisle thinks it will work. He ordered the equipment. It should be here before the end of February."
"That long?" She pouted.
"Love, you can't just buy these things at a store and it has to be modified so that it can be used in office. It's the best we could do and we put a rush on it. By the time it comes you'll be about four months gestation wise, that's perfect timing. We'll actually be able to see body parts and not just a blob."
"I'll try to be patient," she said, kissing me.
I groaned, pulled away and started taking shallow breaths.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"The blood. The taste is still on your tongue," I said.
"Shit, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking," she said, getting up to go rinse her mouth. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the bed. I handed her the glass.
"Drink some more."
She smiled and took a long drink. The dark ruby liquid stained her pink lips. I licked her lips for her and attacked her mouth. Instantly the scent of her arousal fill the air. I felt my eyes going dark from the taste that lingered in her mouth and her scent as it permeated the air. I wanted to rip her clothes off and bury myself in her heat while I enjoyed her sweet, bloody tongue. Skye's hands found their way down the back of my jeans. I pulled away leaving her breathless and a little pissed.
"Don't stop," she begged softly.
"I have too...too much...go rinse," I said, licking my lips.
She opened her eyes and watched my tongue. I smirked as she fought to control her breathing. I helped her to her feet and pat her ass as she made her way to the bathroom. I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes with the taste of my two favorite sins on my tongue. Skye and blood, the deadliest of combinations.
