The hunter was tied up and helpless in front of him. Eli hadn't had human blood in so long. He bared his fangs and leaned forward. He was gratified as the immobilized hunter tried to back away from him, increasing his breathing and eyes wide. He could hear his heart racing. He would enjoy this.
"Eli, step back."
Eli looked over at Lenore. Reluctantly he retracted his teeth and stepped back. He would do anything for Lenore. Even drink disgusting cattle blood. He thought she was wrong, but he would do it anyway. Love had made people do weirder things.
