Pt 2
Eris was pulled from her deep sleep by an unfamiliar presence. At first she thought it was the arm around her middle or the leg thrown over hers. Or even the steady breath against her neck. But neither one stirred her. It all felt natural. No something else had pulled her awake.
"Morning,"
She jumped at the slightly sultry voice and found her self staring at Butch. "How…Never mind." Eris watched his dark eyes as they locked on to hers. "What do you want?"
He smiled: his thoughts clear. "Wake lover boy, I need a minute."
Eris turned her head to look over and found Cody curled against her back. His head resting against her shoulder blade and his chest pressed firmly against her spine. Eris looked back at Butch and frowned.
"Cody's never been a morning person."
Butch smiled, "I know, we never are." He rolled off the wall where he was leaning and came around to Cody's side of the bed. "Cody." Butch leaned down and whispered in his ear. "Yo, Romeo."
Cody grumbled something incoherent and snuggled even closer to her.
Butch winked at her and gripped a handful of the blanket. He gave a sweep of his arm and the covers were ripped away from Cody, oddly enough, Eris was still ¾ covered. Cody jolted awake and sat up straight, his hand gripped Butch's shirt and he looked scary for a moment.
"Morning," Butch said coolly. "Sorry to wake you, I know that you were busy last night."
Cody let him go with a shove and gathered the sheet around both of them. "Something happened after the meeting last night. We got a tape from them."
Cody cursed as he struggled to get out and dress with out showing all to Butch for a second time. "Get out Butch,"
"Make it fast boy," Butch laughed and let him self out the door. Closing it behind him.
Eris leaned against the pillows as Cody gets dressed. His hands sweeping back his hair constantly as he searched for his shoes. His shirt gapes open and she watched him intently. Cody finds his shoes under her dress and pulls them on without socks. He straightens and notices her watching.
"You look hungry." He remarks and sits on the bed.
Eris grabs him and pulls him down into a kiss. Cody reluctantly pulls away and laughs as she runs her hands through his hair. Eris lets him go as he buttons up his shirt.
"Cody was I imagining things, or did you bite me last night?" Eris asks lightly as he stands and moved aimlessly around the room.
"I might have," he admits with a slight blush, "Does it bother you?"
Eris shakes her head, "No. Just make sure I'm the only one you're biting."
He looks at her then and there is something feral in his eyes. A hint of the beast beneath the suit; as his eyes slide down her naked body and rake back up to her face. Time seems to slow as he watches her with that predatory stare, as though he might eat her. Eris grins at him. Cody leaps in a single move and is covering her body with his. Eris laughs softly as he kisses her neck, his teeth grazing her skin gently.
"Cody!" Butch pounds on the door, "Cody! Let's go!"
Cody snarls as he pulls away from her, "Don't go too far."
"I'm staying with Lauren, I am sure Harry will give you the address." Eris tangles her fingers in his hair. "What has changed in you?"
He smiles, his corner teeth are slightly sharper then they should be. "Nothing's changed. I'm just…I'm just me."

Eris drags her butt into Lauren's house at three in the afternoon, having spent most of it sleeping off the night before. Her body had never been so sore or so stiff. Cody seemed absolutely invigorated, but she on the other hand was seriously lagging. Once in her room she shed her clothes and staggered off to the master bathroom. The tub in there was a Jacuzzi, which her muscles were calling for.
Eris had lost track of time in the hot tub and was startled to find it nearly dark. She pulled herself from the cold water and wrapped herself in a thick towel. Peering into Lauren's room she found it empty, no signs of her anyway, no signs of anyone. Crossing to her room, Eris changed in to loose sweat pants and a T-shirt. A chill runs up her spine and she turns, half expecting to see someone standing there. Nothing.
Her feet are quiet on the carpet as she walks to the kitchen. The only light came from the street lamps outside. The orange glow painted the entire area in a harsh color. Eris hesitated and looked around quickly, something was wrong. Her heart pounded and she felt her head rush as she reached for the light switch. Just as her fingers brushed it, she turned and the block caught her across the face. She hit the counter and tumbled to the floor, totally dazed. Hands grabbed her roughly and she was dragged across the floor. Eris gripped the hands and struggled as much as she could. Two more hands came and smacked her face again. Pain flashed across her eyes and she sagged for a moment.
Her back was on something soft and Eris awoke to find herself in the living room. There were still people in the house and they weren't Lauren or Harry. Eris moved and her body hurt all over again. Rolling to her knees, her head swam badly and she had to lie back down. Opening her eyes she stared at the ruddy face of a hard-eyed man.
"It's awake." He told his buddies and they all turned to look at her. "It has bruises."
"They don't bruise." One of them stated coldly. "Human?"
"Looks like." The ruddy man said. "What was she doing there then?"
"Fornicating with the young one." Another said, "Look at the mark on her neck."
The ruddy man grabbed her jaw and turned her head so he could look. "Yes."
Eris stared at them, "What do you want?"
"Where are the vampires?" The third one asked.
"The what?" Eris felt her head beginning to ache. "What vampires?"
"The one you slept with last night and the one who is dating that lawyer." The ruddy man told her as if she should know this already.
Eris blinked several times, "Okay buddy, you need to have a lesson in reality. There are no such things as vampires."
"You just slept with one."
"Cody is no vampire."
The ruddy man shook his head, "He has deceived you. That's how they survive."
"No."
"Have you ever seen him injured? Sick?" The man asked harshly.
Eris thought for a moment, "No."
"Ever wonder why that is?" He asked her.
Eris watched him, "No."
"Sure you have." He told her. "You are probably wondering why he bit you last night."
Eris touched her neck without meaning to. "So?"
"So, the bite is their way of marking those who belong to them. By biting you, this Cody has made you his object. His possession."
Had she not been scared, Eris would have been proud of that statement. "What of it?"
"Tell us where to find the vampires and we can set you free." He stated.
A chill ran up her spine and Eris knew something had just turned bad. "I don' think so."
As she spoke, he smacked her face and the previous injury to her cheek awoke. It suddenly hurt too much to talk.
"Tie her up." He ordered and one of them knocked her out with a blow to the head.
