At night he watched her, but during the day he was a completely normal person, mixing with the others!
She is small, blonde, thin.
A sarcastic, stubborn woman.
She was the woman of his desires!
During the day she was his partner...
But at night, in his eyes she is much more.
A desire to be satisfied.
He had a secret, a secret that she did not know, and that it was better that she did not know.
At night he transformed, his canines came out, and he had only one desire to taste her blood.
When they were just the two of them, at a crime scene, it wasn't the dead man he was looking at, or the smell that attracted him, but his partner's neck, and her veins.
To his great relief Eames had no idea.
She did not suspect the danger, which she ran to be with him.
She often dozed on his desk, and he had only one idea in mind, to touch her, to put his fangs in her pretty little neck, and to satisfy this desire to taste at least once her blood.
It had been five years since he had kept his mouth shut, and hidden what he felt for Eames.
From the beginning, he had felt something strong for her.
But he preferred to keep silent, and suffer in silence.
His soul was tortured, like all vampires.
- Bobby!
The young woman looked at him perplexed.
Alex had pulled her golden hair up into a bun, or some strands escaped, revealing a face with delicate features, and a neck to damn a vampire.
At the insistent look Goren was giving her neck, she touched her neck.
- I have something?
Yes, you have something...
He wanted to scream his words.
Something that draws me irresistibly to you.
And this crazy desire to bite your neck, and taste your blood.
The hand on the back of his neck, he looked away, blushing.
- No... You're fine.
Eames didn't understand Goren's behavior these last few days.
He was always daydreaming, his mind elsewhere.
A behavior he never had.
And that habit of constantly looking at the back of his neck...
Did she have something that made him always have his eyes on it.
Eames handed the papers to Bobby, who was standing right over his shoulder.
He took them from her hands, and returned to his desk.
It was getting more and more dangerous.
He had to put some distance between him and her.
It didn't matter what it was, but he had to.
Otherwise he would end up giving in to his impulses.
And as soon as she dozed off, he would jump on her.
Goren was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't realize Eames had just dozed off on his desk.
Alex's small breath, brought him out of his thoughts.
He looked around, no one in sight.
He got up, walked slowly towards Eames' desk, approached her, put his hands on the desk, and leaned his face towards hers.
Just once...
Eames wouldn't notice.
His mother had always told him never to get close to a human, especially if he had feelings for her.
It was too dangerous, and too risky for the vampire in question.
He really didn't see what he was risking.
It must have been just gossip.
And he never listened to that kind of stuff.
Hesitantly, Goren brought his trembling fingers to the back of Eames' neck, caressing it gently.
At this contact, Eames moaned with pleasure.
- Bobby...
At his word, he jumped, crushing his fingers on his neck.
Eames had said his name in his sleep.
It was very flattering, but very disturbing.
He glanced around, to see if anyone could see him, and lowered his face to hers, bringing his lips close to her neck, brushing against her.
He opened his lips, his incisors out, ready to bite her.
He lowered his canines on the nape of Eames' neck.
Alex woke up with a start.
She had felt someone's warm breath on her neck.
Goren stepped back, blushing, not daring to look at her.
Alex looked at Goren as if forbidden, her hand on his neck.
It couldn't be possible...
She must have had trouble seeing.
And yet...
He was leaning over her, his lips half-open, revealing large, sharp canines.
Goren could not be...
She rose from her seat, knocking him to the ground.
A vampire.
But that was only legend.
But the size of his teeth, that way he stared at her neck.
She had become his main course.
My God...
We had to get away as soon as possible.
Goren grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.
- Let go of me!
She tried to pull her hand away from his wrist, but he held it firmly, shaking his head in denial.
- No... I'm not letting go... He spoke in a firm voice, and one that didn't leave out any refusal. Not until you listen to me.
She looked up at Goren, but was afraid.
He was looking at her in a strange way, a way that said I'm going to eat you up.
She didn't want that.
She didn't want to be his dessert.
She could handle a murderer, a human, but a vampire, she didn't know.
For her, it was something totally unknown.
Besides, how could she have suspected that Goren, her partner, was one.
She believed according to the legends that vampires could not come out in the daytime...
Eames tried to back away, put her hand to her neck, hiding it, and shook her head in denial.
- Alex... With slow steps, he approached her. It's not what you think.
Not what she thought.
He had some funny ones.
Canines of this size, it was not human.
What was he going to say as an excuse...
She looked around trying to see if anyone was there. But no one.
Eames was afraid of him.
He had never seen such an expression on her face.
Reluctantly, he let go of her wrist.
She stepped back with her wrist against her heart, and found her back pressed against the wall.
Goren walked towards her.
My God, she was trapped.
What could she do...
He stopped at her height, raised his hand, and gently placed his hand on her cheek, caressed it.
Goren met Eames' gaze.
Alex was hypnotized by the intensity of her brown eyes, which shone with a strange flame, and which set her on fire.
Two seconds before she had been afraid of him, and now she felt mysteriously attracted to him.
It was really strange...
She had never noticed this intensity in his eyes.
Sometimes she had felt strange things under Goren's gaze that he put on her;
But that was normal...
After more than five years of partnership, this was normal.
But never something like what she was feeling right now.
Something strong.
She had just discovered a side of Goren that frightened her, but ignited her whole.
Eames knew the Goren, gentle, kind and caring.
To the point that her friendship for him had turned into something stronger.
But here she was dealing with another man.
More mysterious, more dark, so much more man.
A man that one desired.
He let his fingers slide on her neck, caressing it gently, and looking at her with envy.
- Alex...
Goren's voice was husky, vibrating with desire.
Which set Eames on fire.
She should have taken her legs to her neck.
But she stood there, hypnotized, savoring his caress.
- Just once... He begged her. Only once...
At his words, she felt all her good resolutions collapse.
She wanted to feel Goren's lips on her.
He had lit a fire inside her, and she wanted him to quench it.
And then what was she risking to accept, if it was only once.
Goren was not the type to lie.
She trusted him.
Alex nodded, her cheeks flushed.
Goren looked at her as if forbidden.
It could not be possible.
Alex had authorized him...
But did she know what to expect...
Never cross the line with a human, especially if you have feelings for her.
It was just a simple kiss on her neck, a need to be satisfied, he was safe.
As long as he didn't go any further.
But he had to be gentle with her.
Eames was in danger of getting hurt.
It was his first time.
His blood boiled in his veins.
His first time was for him.
He couldn't believe it, and yet, she granted his request.
Bobby lowered his face to Alex's, he brought his lips to her neck, his incisors out, he planted his fangs gently in Alex's neck.
She grimaced at the pain, and little by little the pain turned into something very pleasant, even very erotic.
This way of sucking her blood...
It was...
Goren felt himself faint when he felt Eames' blood touch his tongue.
It was so sweet, so pleasant.
It was simply magical.
To think he had waited five long years.
Not wanting to rush her.
But it had taken him a long time to accept his feelings for her.
Goren had been so afraid of her rejection.
And now, at this very moment, he was drinking the forbidden nectar.
The nectar of a human.
It didn't matter to him, he could have disappeared, nothing could have been so wonderful.
Alex plunged her fingers into the ebony curls, drawing him closer to her, and savored this sweet torture.
- Bobby...
Alex moaned.
She felt a strange sensation.
Her crotch itched.
God...
She wanted Goren to make love to her, right here, right now.
And whoever it was could surprise them.
- Bobby...
She whispered his name, in a sensual voice, and vibrant with passion.
He never thought he would have such an effect on Eames.
With softness, he withdrew his canines of her neck, and took possession of her lips, intertwined their tongues in a wild dance.
His kiss tasted of her blood.
She should have been disgusted.
But on the contrary...
She loved it.
It was so erotic.
She took his face in her hands deepening their kiss.
Goren grabbed her by the thighs, wrapped his legs around her waist.
He pulled away from her lips, placing small kisses on her neck where he had bitten her.
Alex pushed small cries, making him mad.
But of a blow, he moved away from her.
Alex fell down, but he caught her in time.
- Why...
Eames was all upset.
Goren put a finger to her lips, silencing her.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and gently pushed her into the visiting room, making her sit on the floor in a corner, and motioning for her to remain silent.
He put his fingers on the blind, looked through it.
- Someone is coming...
Eames looked at him with a blank stare.
What do you mean someone is coming?
Could Goren hear so far away...
Was it possible.
So when she called him names, grumbled at him...
Had he ever heard it...
Goren turned to her, a big smile on his face.
- Yes... I've heard you curse me many times before... She looked at him with her mouth wide open as if forbidden. He chuckled quietly. But I've also heard more pleasant things.
Alex blushed violently.
So he knew what she thought of him.
No matter what time of day it was.
It wasn't fair.
He should have told her.
Besides, it couldn't be possible.
She had never told anyone how she felt.
Not even her sister.
- You talk in your sleep.
Alex turned crimson.
How did he know she talked in her sleep?
Could he have come to spy on her at night.
They said in the legends that vampires could steal.
Was this the case for him...
If so, it was going to be a big deal for his number.
- You...
He put his hand over her mouth, silencing her.
- Not now the explanations.
Footsteps were coming towards them.
Alex felt her heart drumming violently in her chest.
Who could it be...
And what would happen if they were both caught in this room.
- Don't move.
If someone saw Alex in this moment, they would discover that something came from his past.
You could see it in his face.
He couldn't risk being seen alone in this room, especially at this time of night.
It would look suspicious.
If they had been at their respective offices, there would have been no risk.
He hadn't thought about that option.
He was so absorbed in his desire for Eames, that he didn't think about anything.
Goren looked at Eames, and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Logan.
- Are you alone?
Goren shook his head in denial.
He headed for his office, followed by Mike.
- Eames rested in the visiting room. He looked around the room. I hope Eames doesn't move from his corner and come out. He turned his attention back to Logan. I went to see if she was still sleeping, and yes.
I hope Mike doesn't see that it's a lie, and that he doesn't get the idea to go check.
With Logan, it was always necessary to be wary.
He could always smell a trick.
Logan nodded.
He knew Bobby, and his overprotectiveness for his partner.
He knew very well that it was better not to go to wake her up, if he did not want to undergo the wrath of Goren.
Logan still didn't understand why Goren had never declared himself to Eames.
For five years, he could have.
Especially when you knew that Bobby only had God for his partner.
And that Alex was far from being insensitive to his charm.
On the contrary...
Eames was only waiting for a sign, a gesture, a word from Goren.
And he saw nothing...
Didn't understand anything.
When it was said that love makes you blind, well, he confirmed it.
Logan gave Goren a friendly tap on the shoulder.
Bobby looked at him puzzled.
- You're too nice.
Too nice...
How was he nice.
And if he knew what he had just done...
He would surely change his mind.
He blushed violently at the memory.
Moreover, he had forgotten the risks, if he had gone further.
But everything was gone at the moment when his canines had touched the blood of Eames.
A violent desire had seized him, with only one desire, to possess Eames on the spot.
Logan looked at Bobby with insistence.
Why was he blushing...
Had he come at the wrong time...
Had he interrupted something...
He had an epiphany.
Was Eames really sleeping in the visiting room...
Wouldn't she...
Logan wanted to know for sure.
He went towards the visiting room, but was stopped by a Goren who stood in front of him, shaking his head in denial.
Very strange...
- Don't wake her up!
Mike was beginning to find Goren's behavior suspicious.
And this way of preventing him from passing, at the risk of waking his sweetheart.
Something was definitely wrong.
Why was he so insistent on waking up Eames...
- I forgot something...
He pushed Goren aside, and walked towards the visiting room.
The door opened, revealing a perfectly awake Eames.
Goren had lied.
Eames was not sleeping.
He looked at her from head to toe, and his eyes stopped on the back of her neck, where there were two small teeth marks.
Here... Here...
He knew Barek's secret that he was a vampire, and Barek had also told him that Goren was one.
So the rascal had indeed bitten Eames.
And he had tried to hide it.
This big idiot made one of those faces at the appearance of Eames.
That he couldn't hide that he had done something wrong with the lady in question.
Bobby saw Logan's insistent gaze on Eames' neck.
Damn it...
He was going to figure it all out if this continued.
Besides he knew Barek, she had a tendency to talk too much to Logan.
Maybe she had told him who he really was.
And if she had...
The marks on Alex's neck gave him away without any further ado.
Goren approached Alex, and put his hand on her neck, hiding the bite marks.
Alex was startled, blushing, by Goren's gesture.
What was Goren thinking of doing such an intimate gesture in front of someone.
And not just anyone...
Logan.
She understood by the insistent look that Logan was putting on her neck, why Goren had done that.
But too late...
Logan had seen the bite marks, and he understood everything.
His two had gone beyond the stage of simple partners.
