Getting Acquainted
"Hi." Lacey said relieved to see Danny sitting in first period surrounded by Lacey's friends. Sarita was leaning into her boyfriend, Scott. Jo was chattering to Phoebe.
Lacey breathed out before continuing. She still was a little angry with Danny but she missed his staring. The boy seemed to be ignoring her since their altercation two days prior. "Do you have those notes?"
Danny nodded as he smiled up at Lacey. "I was hoping you'd come over last night. I missed you the last couple of nights."
Jo nudged Phoebe as both girls fanned their faces in jest at Danny and Lacey. What were these two doing at his house?
Sarita noticed Scott tense up. After all, Archie was his best friend. Lacey had told Archie that she did want to take a break from the relationship. However, it was wrong to tell Danny about it. They decided to have a mutual break up for a few weeks and speak about their relationship later. Archie seemed left out as he had made his way to sit near the front of the class. Danny made him uncomfortable. That coupled with Lacey and his break up caused Archie to stay clear of the group.
"Oh. I didn't want to become a nuisance." Lacey batted her eyelashes before sitting down in her desk beside of Danny.
Danny may could charm the females but Lacey knew she had her own ways to charm the males. Maybe she could turn Danny's own game against him.
"That could never happen. I enjoy getting acquainted with you." Danny winked with a slight smirk.
Jo rolled her eyes at Danny. Sometimes, the boy didn't speak like a teenager. However, it only added to his charm.
Danny was having an intense craving. He had fed only a few days ago on a criminal . He knew the police detectives had put that murder down as an organized crime act. Whatever, it didn't matter to Danny how they wrote it up. He ate. He survived. Now moving on.
The male's blood didn't seem to satisfy his appetite. It had been a long time since tasting of a female's blood. He truly was desiring that taste again.
Danny bit his bottom lip slightly as he put his foot under the leg to Lacey's desk. He pulled her desk towards him.
Lacey tensed up when her desk suddenly jolted beneath her. "Danny, what are you doing?"
"Mrs. Hillman is going to show a film today. I think I'd prefer to look at you." Danny whispered into Lacey's ear.
"News for you, Danny." Jo chuckled at the couple's or non couple's obvious flirting. "Mrs. Hillman never watches films."
Danny never took his gaze from Lacey. "She will today."
Phoebe giggled as her and Jo shook their heads at the charming boy. Sarita was back to her normal self as she rolled her eyes with a scowl at Danny. Mrs. Hillman walked out from the back room. She held a tissue under her nose.
"Class, I have a head cold. I am going to allow you to watch a historical fiction film. Maybe it can help with your own creative writing." Mrs. Hillman turned on her Smart Board and began the classic "Romeo and Juliet".
"How did you know?" Lacey asked as she noticed Danny's hand had eased under her desk and was placed on her knee. She swallowed uneasily as her knee began to shake. She leaned to whisper."Ummmm…Danny."
"Yes." Danny's sunglasses were stuck snugly in his jacket pocket. He stared into Lacey's eyes causing her to shiver slightly. "Is there a problem, Lacey?"
Lacey could feel her breath pick up. "I…well….ummmm…"
Danny sneered slightly as he studied her with his luminescent brown eyes. "I think we should skip the film. I'm sure we don't need this lesson."
"Wwwwee can't….ummmmm….skip." Lacey bit her bottom lip as she stared into Danny's eyes. She wasn't as good at playing this game as Danny it seemed."Mrs. Hillman…"
"Won't be a problem." Danny said before pushing up from his seat.
He walked to the head of the class. Lacey couldn't hear what he said but could see Mrs. Hillman nod her head yes. Danny walked back to stand beside Lacey's seat. He knelt down slightly and whispered in Lacey's ear.
"Mrs. Hillman agrees that we should study in the library for our paper." Danny held out his hand to Lacey. "I think it is time we get much better acquainted."
Jo stared up as Lacey placed her hand in Danny's then walked away with him. The girl seemed totally mesmerized by Danny Desai.
Jo nudged Phoebe. "Lacey is never so…."
"Hypnotized by the male species." Phoebe sighed dreamily. "I would so do him."
"PHOEBE!" Jo screamed out causing Mrs. Hillman to glance their way.
Mrs. Hillman couldn't figure out why she had let Danny and Lacey leave class. She never gave any student special privileges. She rubbed up and down her arms feeling coldness. Perhaps, she was getting the flu instead of a simple head cold.
Sarita lowered her voice so Scott wouldn't hear. "I would do him too. But this is Lacey Porter."
"I know she is really into the whole thing of romance and love first. But this is Danny Desai. The day the boy walked into the room, I suddenly thought about doing unspeakable things to his body. But mostly, I thought of unspeakable things being done to mine by him." Phoebe whispered to Sarita. "I can't explain it. He is so sexually seductive."
"Yeah. But no one can break the Lacey Porter shield against wild boys and promiscuity." Jo stated then straightened up when Mrs. Hillman looked her way again.
Phoebe smiled naughtily. Her cheeks colored red as she chuckled slightly. "The only thing better than Danny Desai holding me tight, would be? Danny Desai holding me tight while he is naked."
Jo had to bite her tongue not to laugh at Phoebe's banter. Phoebe was all for drama and acting but talking like this was something she usually shied away from. However, since Jo and Lacey befriended Phoebe, the girl had definitely became much funner to be around. Even Sarita was more accepting of Phoebe in their little group.
Jo sighed. "I guess we better watch this film."
Phoebe and Sarita nodded in agreement.
Danny pulled Lacey into the video supply closet. Lacey pulled from him. "This isn't the library."
"Beautiful and smart." Danny taunted as he pushed Lacey's body up against the wall.
"Danny, we're friends. What are you doing? Plus, I'm still a little angry with you." Lacey pushed her hands against his chest.
"Lacey Porter, you don't want to be my friend. And you don't want to be angry with me." Danny slid his hands down Lacey's waist onto her thighs.
"I don't?" Lacey felt Danny's hands on the back of her thighs. He easily picked her legs up to wrap around his waist. "Wait!"
"Why?" Danny growled as he allowed his hands to slide to Lacey's backside pulling her hips towards his hips.
"I don't even know you." Lacey whispered as her eyes closed tightly. She couldn't look at him because of his eyes seduced her so well.
Danny held Lacey in place as he leaned in to lick the outer shell of her ear. She moaned as her legs squeezed tighter around Danny. His voice was deep with lust. "You know me enough."
His desire for Lacey was causing him old feelings of animalistic cravings. His lips found her neck causing him to nibble at her skin. He growled again before jutting out his tongue to lick up Lacey's neck. Lacey's hands went into Danny's dark hair. She pulled at his hair as she twisted her hips into his.
"Lacey." His voice was husky sounding like a boy first waking in the morning. Lacey thought it was the most seductive sound she had ever heard.
He wanted her in every way. His cravings were stronger than he had experienced in centuries. The smell of her blood teased his nostrils with the enticing odor of lust. "I want you."
"Danny?" Lacey whispered breathlessly. This couldn't happen here. Why was she even thinking about it happening at all? "I'm a virgin."
Danny's mouth had opened over Lacey's skin of her shoulder. He planned on tasting her there first before tasting the blood of her life source. However, her words alerted him that she wasn't ready to have sex no less be a victim to his craving. She was talking purely mortal sexual gratification. A closet wasn't a place for a lady to lose her most guarded treasure.
He let her slide down to the floor. He pushed his forehead against hers as his breath rapidly escaped his lips. "We will get better acquainted when the time is more appropriate as well as the place."
Danny stood there with his forehead leaning against Lacey's forehead. He hadn't even tasted of her lips no less her blood. Yet, he found her causing him such a yearning that he wasn't sure how he contained himself.
Lacey bit her bottom lip as she felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" Danny brought his hands to cup Lacey's face. His thumbs caressed her cheeks wiping the tear away. "You've done nothing wrong."
"I feel like I've done something wrong." Lacey didn't know why she felt that. She was so confused.
Danny realized it was the allure of his seductive powers. She had refused him even though she felt seduced. That had never happened to him. However, her will was strong even with his powers to seduce. He hadn't tried to seduce her with all his powers to do so. He only wanted her at that moment.
"You did nothing wrong, Lacey." Danny breathed out one last breath before pulling back from her. "I came on too strong. I am not used to not winning a lady's affections. I am only used to seducing her to my will."
Lacey shoved at Danny playfully. "You're very cocky. Do you know that?"
Danny smiled as he winked. "I am very truthful."
Lacey's cheeks began to warm up at his words. She sighed out. "I think we should probably get out of this closet."
Danny reached up and caressed her cheek. "Lacey, you are worthy of more than I can give you."
With those words, Danny stepped out of the closet. Lacey let him go. She wanted to gather herself. After he left, she slid down the closet door. Placing her head on her drawn in knees, she began to cry. How could she want him so badly without knowing him that well? She knew that wasn't like her. Why did this boy make her feel so out of control?
