Dis: Some of this shit ain't mine.
Reid's mind was reeling, the blood had drained from his face and his breathing was shallow and erratic. Shit, thought Steel, I reveal myself to this human and he goes all faint on me.
"Erm… take slow deep breaths." She suggested trying to calm him down. She placed one pale, long-fingered hand over his. After awhile his breathing reverted back to normal and a little colour returned to his cheeks. Instead, she slapped him across his face.
"Fuck! What was that for?' He swore, regaining his usual disposure.
"Oh, sorry Blondie I didn't like you trying to rival my pallor." She smiled mischievously, unwittingly flashing a bit of fangs.
"Right. So you're really a bloodsucking vampire?"
"Well yes, as you so charmingly put it."
"Oh sorry I didn't mean it that way."
"Actually, I'm half-half, my mother was a witch and my father was a vampire. The union was and still is eternally forbidden, so in short, I'm actually one of a kind."
"Well my lucky day."
"I guess you could say that."
"So since you know so much about me, then why don't you tell me something about yourself? Are all those stories true?"
"Well some are. The holy water, garlic and the turning into vapour shit is all crap. I can't turn into a bat, but I'm at my peak under the moonlight and saying that I hate sunlight is an understatement. But I'm less susceptible to it than a pureblood."
"Oh."
There was a silence as Reid tried to process all the information. Steel studied him with large unblimking eyes.
"You shouldn't be afraid, you know."
"Me, afraid? No way!"
"Haha. Don't bullshit me. I can smell youyr fear."
"Okay… now you're scaring me."
"Vampires have all our six senses enhanced. I can detect even the slightest change."
"Does that mean I stink?"
"No. Fear causes us to produce more of a certain hormone, and that has a distinctive smell."
Steel leaned forward to drink her second cup of coffee. Her hoodie was zipped up only halfway, allowing Reid a glimpse of luscious cleavage. There was a sudden rush of blood to his head as he inhaled sharply. He was feeling a little light-headed. Unfortunately, she put her cup down and pulled the zipper up a few centimetres. He cleared his throat and shook his head slightly.
"So… do you actually drink blood?"
"What is it like? Is it painful?"
"No. I don't know exactly what it's like, but I do know it's quite… an experience."
"Hmm…"
"I guess we should be heading back."
They eventually walked back to where they had left the Ducati Monster S4R S Testrastretta.Reid was about to mount when Steel stopped him.
"I've always wanted to drive a Monster, may I?"
"I thought we should get back fast."
"Oh? I can get our arses back in 5 minutes flat, you wanna time?"
"Fine."
"Hold on tight."
"Three, two, one. Go!"
He barely managed to hang on to her to avoid getting flung off.
Review pls.
