A/N: So I've realized that I haven't been replying to reviews lately. ^^' So yea I'm gonna do that now. You guys left such lovely reviews on the last chapter. :D They were all so long. I was shocked. XD
Lady Talla-doe: YES! I AM MANLADY! FEAR ME! XD
YAY FOR COOKIES AND ACTION FIGURES AND IOU LEMONS!
I always like to have my sex scenes as more than mindless porn. :P I don't feel as guilty after I read it. But that's me.
I just found that song the other day and it was like "BAM Isaac and Ezekiel!" XD
saichick: I'm glad that you're still a fan, despite the very slashy-flavor of this story. :D
Although he wasn't thinking it consciously, yes Isaac was taming the beast. :3
Ezekiel being tender is just the beginning. I am diving deep into his character for this story. I'm excited!
: In my defense (and I'm not usually one for excuses but) I did finish and upload that chapter at 2:30am so my proofreading probably wasn't very good. XD But I fixed it so that's not a problem anymore. :3
As I mentioned in my first chapter, I've had this planned two months in advance of the movie JUST because of the trailers. XD Glad you like it!
LordxXxofxXxDorkness: Bro. I'm NOT gonna make Priestess a transsexual. XDD But I can't guarantee that everything from now on will be rainbows and sunshine. :)

Last Time…
Ezekiel got off of the bed, leaving Isaac feeling a little cold and lost. Against his better judgment, Isaac let his eyes close, resting for a moment. He started slightly at the feel of something soft cleaning his stomach and between his legs. The cloth disappeared and he felt an abnormally warm body wrap itself around him from behind, pulling the sheets up and around them both. Strong arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him back against a hard body. He smiled as Ezekiel whispered in his ear, falling asleep soon after.
"Go to sleep darlin'… sleep Isaac…"
o-o-o-o-o
Isaac woke up slowly, his mind full of fog at first until strong arms tightened around his middle, making everything come rushing back. He smiled and looked over his shoulder, seeing a pair of smoldering gold eyes looking back at him.
"Good morning." He said, his voice still thick from sleep. Something changed in the gold eyes at the sound of his voice, filling them with something almost like affection.
"'Mornin'…" A deep velvety voice answered him. A soft kiss was pressed to the back of his bare shoulder, making his smile widen. He shifted in the tight embrace so he could turn slightly and see Ezekiel better.
Their lips met softly, pressing together and fitting perfectly like puzzle pieces. Isaac reached his arm back and curled it loosely around Ezekiel's neck, holding him close even when they parted.
The two men gazed at each other, each with his own questions apparent in his eyes.
What do they do now?
What did this mean?
Where did their relationship stand?
How would this affect things down the road?
Neither of them knew the answers so they simply lay in each other's arms, drinking each other in.
"Isaac…" The softness of Ezekiel's voice startled the man for a moment, but he recovered quickly with another smile.
"Yes?"
"I don't hate ya anymore." The vampire admitted. Isaac chuckled and kissed him gently, turning over completely so that they were chest-to-chest.
"I never really hated you." He continued. "I was extremely angry, mostly at myself… for letting go." Isaac shushed him, chuckling when Ezekiel kissed the finger that had been pressed to his lips.
"No. You were right. I was the one who let go. I wasn't strong enough to save you. God knows I tried…" Isaac trailed off, feeling old wounds reopen. Ezekiel looked at him hard as the man sat up, running a hand over his extremely short hair.
"Bein' this way ain't so bad." Ezekiel murmured. "I've gotten used to it real quick. I like bein' stronger, faster, havin' better senses." He sat up and turned Isaac's face to his, surprised to see little tears shining in the corners of the blue spheres.
"I don't blame you, Isaac. Not anymore. 'Matter of fact, I should thank you." He smiled at the confused look on the priest's face.
"I've always had an animal inside me; everyone does. It just finally got its chance to run free." He kissed Isaac's forehead, letting his lips linger on the skin before leaning back. Isaac finally smiled.
"You seem pretty tame to me." He said, getting butterflies when Ezekiel's eyes lit up in the dark. Ezekiel rolled over on his back and pulled Isaac on top of him slightly.
"Not quite darlin'…" He rumbled, giving Isaac a gentle bite on the muscle between his neck and shoulder, again not breaking the skin, but applying enough pressure to make Isaac press closer to him with a soft laugh.
For a moment, the priest and the vampire lay together in harmony with Ezekiel's face in Isaac's neck, just breathing.
"I guess we should get back to the prison." Isaac said reluctantly. He felt Ezekiel nod against his neck before they sat up together. Isaac let his eyes roam over the expanse of tan skin on Ezekiel's chest and stomach as he stretched, making his abs tighten. Isaac subconsciously licked his lips, catching the vampire's attention. Ezekiel grinned.
"See somethin' you like?"
Isaac blushed and looked away, throwing the sheets off of his body and getting out of bed. He heard Ezekiel emit a low purr behind him.
"'Cuz I sure as hell do." He said slowly. Isaac shot him a smile over his shoulder.
"Do you now…" He replied, running his hands down his sides and hips. He watched as Ezekiel's eyes glowed brighter and a wider grin spread across his face. The human turned around and placed a fist on his hip, raising an eyebrow. Ezekiel returned his raised eyebrow and reclined further back into the bed, grinning like a madman.
"C'mere…" He purred, humming his approval deep in his throat when a still-naked Isaac settled back into his lap, straddling his hips with a smile. Ezekiel traced the curve of Isaac's throat with the back of his finger.
"Y'know I'm pretty worn out still… I could use a little bite to eat to get my energy back." He drawled. Isaac hummed in response, arching against the vampire as he turned his head to expose his neck. Ezekiel chuckled, wrapping one arm around Isaac's waist and the other hand around his neck, holding him close as he buried his face in the crook of Isaac's neck.
He could smell the sweet blood pulsing through Isaac's veins. He inhaled deeply, smiling and purring happily. Isaac shifted his hips forward, rubbing their groins together through the fabric of the sheets, which created amazing friction. A little gasp escaped his lips as Ezekiel bit down on his neck, breaking the skin.
Just like the first time, Ezekiel feeding on him didn't hurt. It actually felt pretty good. That may or may not have to do with the fact that Ezekiel was feeding from his neck this time, but regardless, Isaac found the whole thing erotic.
Ezekiel tongued the wound in Isaac's neck, groaning in satisfaction at the taste of Isaac's sugary blood. It burned hot on his tongue and slithered down his throat, settling comfortably in his stomach. Slowly his mind began to race, as it often did when he fed. Everything that he had potentially been subconsciously thinking about came flying at him like bullets.
Ezekiel couldn't quite understand his own actions. Not only had he actively pursued Isaac, he had slept with him, and now he was feeding from the most intimate feeding point on Isaac. It was mind-boggling to say in the least. When a vampire fed from someone's neck, they weren't feeding to kill. They were being affectionate, maybe even romantic.
The feelings he could feel coming from Isaac suggested that he was just as conflicted, despite the seductive atmosphere. They were both unsure of what they really felt for one another.
Ezekiel could be honest and admit what he already knew to himself, but being the stubborn individual he was, as well as overly-cautious when it came to emotions that didn't involve anger or rage, he didn't.
Isaac could almost hear Ezekiel thinking. He was so deep in thought that his teeth were simply buried in Isaac's neck, his lips having since stopped moving. Just to be sure he hadn't fallen unconscious or something Isaac threaded his fingers through Ezekiel's soft brown hair.
"Is something wrong?" He asked softly. He felt the fangs retract and a hot tongue lick the wound, sealing it closed in seconds. Ezekiel sat back from Isaac, his eyes a vibrant yellow from just feeding.
"Naw. Just… thinkin'…" He said, looking away when Isaac arched an eyebrow at him. He looked back in alarm when Isaac closed his eyes with a gasp and shivered violently. The shivers stopped just as suddenly as they had started but Isaac didn't open his eyes. Ezekiel gripped his hips in a firm but gentle grasp.
"Isaac? Darlin'?" He asked, his voice tight with worry. Finally Isaac opened his eyes, revealing their shimmering white color. Ezekiel opened his mouth to ask where the Anti-Familiar formula was kept, but his mouth simply hung open when the white faded, returning Isaac's eyes to their correct icy hue.
"… What just happened?" Ezekiel asked, caught completely off-guard. Isaac looked just as confused as he felt.
"I… don't know. I felt the effects overtaking me, but then a huge shock shot down my spine, and then I felt normal again." Isaac said, frowning. Ezekiel arched an eyebrow as high as it would go.
"Strange… maybe it's because of last night." He said, smiling when a hint of rose spilled across the bridge of Isaac's elegant nose, a nose the vampire happily kissed just so the blush would deepen.
"Just a thought." He chuckled. Isaac laughed. It was a rich melodic sound that made Ezekiel's chest flutter.
"You seem to like that thought." Isaac said, shifting his hips to gently rub their groins together, eliciting a throaty hum from Ezekiel.
"That's cause I do." He purred, gripping Isaac's hips a little harder as he rubbed their rapidly-awaking erections together through the sheets. With a growl, Ezekiel lifted Isaac with one hand and jerked the sheets away with the other, letting them be skin-on-skin again. A spark of pleasure rocketed through their stomachs and they inhaled deeply. Isaac held Ezekiel's face, caressing his stubbled cheeks with his thumbs before leaning in and kissing him deeply. He rocked his hips back and forth, hearing the vampire hum his approval.
Their bodies fit together perfectly in any situation as they were coming to realize. This fact created the maximum amount of friction for both of them. They found their rhythm quickly, pushing and grinding against each other, tongues battling for dominance, fingers tracing and memorizing each other's contours.
Isaac traced his fingers over Ezekiel's ears, making the vampire shudder and give a breathy moan.
"Your ears are sensitive." He murmured softly against Ezekiel's lips, gasping when Ezekiel ground his hips up to meet Isaac. In the darkness of the apartment, only heavy breathing was heard. Then two shouts, one low one high were heard as they found their release together.
Isaac sagged forward, resting his head on Ezekiel's shoulder, catching his breath. He was mildly aware of the light fingers tracing circles on his back, the breath on his neck, the press of lips on his shoulder.
"I don't see why I should even bother goin' back to that prison. I don't think I could stand bein' away from you…" Ezekiel admitted, talking around the tightness in his throat that was trying to prevent him from talking.
"I wish I could keep you here, but I don't want anyone to find out about you." Isaac said. He leaned back and kissed Ezekiel when he felt him tense underneath him.
"Not because I'm ashamed of you or of anything we've done. I just don't want them to take you from me. They won't understand like I do." He reassured quietly. Ezekiel relaxed at this and nodded, giving Isaac another kiss before taking the sheets and cleaning them both off. They got up slowly, putting their clothes on sluggishly, neither of them wanting to leave the beloved dark of the apartment where they had first found each other.
