Jerry's flashback: During her 5th week

Once they got started, it was hard to stop them. But that was what Jerry was trying to do. He was on top of her and had made her pull back her fangs. His own were completely retracted. He slowed his thrusts down until he had almost completely stopped. His head was tilted and his face was only inches from hers. He was breathing heavy and she almost whined when she couldn't sped him back up.

" Slow it down!" He growled out to her.

Winter had no choice but follow his direct order. Her hips slowed down to match his pace. Jerry sighed and pressed his lips against hers. His tongue snaked out and flicked across her bottom lip. Her small lips parted and he moved into her mouth. Her tongue wrapped around his slowly. He took his time making out with her, feeling and tasting her mouth. She moaned into him and that sound made him increase his thrusts slightly. Her hands came up his back and into his hair. They threaded into his short hair and pulled it. He broke their kissing to kiss down her neck.

Jerry was sitting on the couch, waiting for her to bring him the rabbit she was supposing to be hunting in the house. Usually he followed behind her as she hunted, watching and guiding her with words. But she had to learn to do it alone so he was sitting on the couch, following her through their blood bond. She was in the basement when she found the rabbit. She snatched it up and buried her fangs into it's neck. Jerry grinned as he felt her feed. She was turning out to be as ruthless as he was. She was perfect.

Winter walked around the couch as she wiped her mouth with her hand. He was grinning up at her. She straddled his lap, her hands coming to rest on the couch behind his head. She growled as her mouth came to his. His hands gripped her hips and they started grinding against each other as they made out. Feeding turned her on matter when how many times they had sex. She pulled away from him, making him grin again. She stood up and quickly undressed.

It was around 1 in the morning when Jerry finally felt something from her through their bond. She had completely shut him off from her. No matter how hard he tried to get a reading on her or send her feelings, he couldn't reach her. The feeling he was getting from her was overwhelming sadness, confusion, and hunger. He sighed and pushed himself off the couch. Jerry put his hands on the top of his head as he started towards the stairs. He linked his fingers together.

He found her sitting on the floor of their stand up shower stall. Her knees were drawn up to her chest and her hands were planted on the walls of the shower. Her eyes were turning black as her vampire sense was starting to take over. She was upset and it was hitting him in waves. He walked into the bathroom and leaned against the counter with his arms crossed over his chest and his ankles linked together.

" What is happening to me?" She asked as she struggled to keep the vampire down.

" You haven't fed tonight, Love." He said softly. " Do you want me to hunt you a rabbit?" No, she wanted him. Her body was almost humming with the need to have him. She wanted to feed from him and wanted him inside her. She shook her head.

" I don't want to kill." She said softly.

" You can feed from me." She growled without thinking. Her eyes widen and her hands clasped her over mouth. " You will turn animalistic if you do not feed."

" I don't want to have sex." She said when her hands dropped. That was a lie. He could feel it and taste it. Her body wanted him, was calling to him. Jerry pushed away from the counter and nodded.

" Come to me, My Mate." He said as he held his hand down to her. " You need to feed to have a clear head."

Winter's knees slowly lowed to the floor. Her eyes were glued to his face. He crouched down and motioned to her with his hand. She slowing started to crawl towards him, almost like she was stalking him. In one instant her eyes went black and she launched herself at him. Her arms went around his neck as he let her knock him backwards. He closed his eyes when she grabbed his head and shoulder. She tilted his head and ripped his shirt away to expose his neck. Her fangs sank into his neck, pulling a groan from him.

As she drew from his vein, his hands came to rest against her hips. She was grinding them against him and, no matter how hard he tried not to be, he was turned on. His tongue licked his bottom lip as her growls moved through his neck. She had waited too long to feed. Newborns needed to feed as soon as they woke or the vampire in them started to take over.

Her hands tighten in his hair and she pulled it. Jerry moaned as his hips rose up to meet hers. She sucked hard on him, pulling his blood down her throat. After a while she growled loudly and sat straight up. Her eyes were closed when he turned and looked at her. She swept her arm out and across her lips as she sighed. The relief of the hunger leaving her was flowing over him. When her eyes opened and he looked at her, he saw the blackness was leaving them. Her shoulders sagged as they locked eyes.

" I love you, too." She admitted softly. She had more to say so he was trying hard to surpress his smile. He knew she did. He had felt it before she died. She had fallen for him and it had nothing to do with the change. " But this is not what I wanted. You took advantage of me and changed me without my permission. You took advantage of my body when I wasn't with it. My choice was taken away from me and that is what I am struggling with."

" I understand." He said.

" I need some time away from you, some time to clear my head." Winter said. Jerry pushed himself so he was sitting up.

" I will make arrangements for you to stay with Raphel. He is my marker. Do you remember him?" He asked. She shook her head as she frowned.

" I'm not sure. The past few weeks are a little blurring. I remember a blond guy by my bed in the hospital." Jerry nodded.

" That was him. I will contact him and you can stay with him. He will help you with whatever you need." They were speaking to each other quietly. Her hands were resting on her thighs and she was still sitting on his lap. He put one hand on the back of her neck and pulled her forehead against his. They both closed their eyes. " If you choose to go into the sun, I will follow after you. I will know. I will know the moment you die." He whispered after a few minutes.

" How?" She whispered.

" We are connected, we are bonded to each other. I will be able to find you no matter where in the world you are. I will feel your emotions and you will feel mine. You will be able to zone in and find me. Anytime you need me I will be there." Winter nodded. " I can't tell you I'm sorry because I'm not. I meant what I said, I'd rather you hate me forever and be alive than have you dead somewhere." Winter nodded and brought her hands to the sides of his face. She tilted her head and kissed him gently.

" I just need some time." She whispered against his lips.
