'It was short-lived but it was good nonetheless."
"How, so?"
"He was…well…rather gifted in the bedroom, I'm sure you know what I mean."
"
"absolutely."
"He was sweet, gentle and tender, a lot like you, but there was something different about him,- he almost never spoke.- I think I heard him speak twice in 40 years time, he talked with his eyes. He had the most beautiful eyes. You could tell what he wanted just by staring into them, that's how we spoke, it was a rather different relationship. I was intrigued by what it was." Rip laid her head back for a moment. "However his lack of speech began to bother me a bit. I couldn't stand the lack of conversation, that was how I figured out that I didn't love him." She turned in profile and then looked into his eyes.
"His name was Captain Hans Gunche, the same Captain that took my virginity."
"Why did you persue a relationship with him?" Bryan asked.
" I don't even know, when he looked at me, he looked so full of shame and guilt that I couldn't help but feel sorry for him." She sighed deeply. "I realize now that it was a mistake." Rip crossed her legs nervously. "we had sex three times, and he was so gentle. I realize now that it was because he was so rough the first time."
"Did he ever say that too you, when he spoke what did he say to you?"
"the first time it was "I've always loved tender virgin flesh," and the second time he said "I'm sorry' he said that as I left Millennium in 1999. That's all he ever said to me, or that I ever heard him say, yet his voice remains burned into my brain. He had a deep, rich voice." She fatigued for a brief second then regained her posture.
:Bryan?"
"Yes?"
"It's time for me to feed, would you like to watch?"
"I don't know, am I the victim?"
"not unless you want to be."
'Then yes, I would."
