Upstairs Tony was prowling the master bedroom like the predator he felt he had become.

"Damn it Gibbs this is ridicules for six months I've been going around rapeing owww."

"You did not rape those women Dinozzo. I doubt you could in all honesty."

"Sure I can what oww stop that damn it."

Gibbs had give Tony two head slaps in as many minutes "Your personality wouldn't let you, you have been taking want you needed, but you have not been taking more than they were willing to give Tony."

"Yeah sure they knew I was taking their damn blood, damn it, knock it off."

"I'll knock it off when you knock it off." Gibbs did something he would have never done otherwise he pulled Tony into a hug and said, "Anthony you have done what you need to survive, no one was hurt unduly. You have a base of people downstairs that are willing to help you. I'm sure Ziva and Palmer will help, Tim to just might take him a little extra time but Abby will help him see that there's nothing to it."

Tony tried to pull out of the embrace but Gibbs wasn't letting him go. "Jethro you need to let me go." Tony whispered his voice becoming more ragged.

Gibbs patted Tony on the shoulder and stepped back, "You need a couple minutes?"

"Yeah just need to think a few things through."

Gibbs nodded and left the young vampire alone.

~~~***~~~~

Little while later Tony joined the others. When he walked into the room there were three laptops clacking away as Tim, Ducky and Abby searched the internet for anything that might help them.

"I need to head out guys." Tony said with his hand on the door, "I'll be back in a little bit."

"Dinozzo you're not going anywhere your cars still at your place and you're not driving my car." Gibbs said from the kitchen.

"Gibbs, we've had this…" Tony stopped when Palmer walked over to him and unbuttoned the top button on his shirt.

He shyly said, "Can I be lunch?"

"Palmer I can't do this to you guys."

"Do what Tony? Let us take care of you, all of us here know you would do anything for us including," Palmer stopped and swallowed hard, "die for us. Why can't we show you that you matter to us as much as we matter to you?"

"Because you don't have to drink my blood and ra.."Tony was forced to stop talking when he quickly found himself being kissed by one Jimmy Palmer.

After a moment of surprise Tony kissed Jimmy back, he tried to take control of the kiss but Jimmy wasn't letting him. Tony found himself led up the stairs as Jimmy blindly tired to find a bedroom. Tony was able to get his brain working again and he broke the kiss. Pushing Jimmy up against the door he just closed he kissed the odd assistant on the lips lightly, "Are you sure? I can stop for now but much longer and I won't be able to."

"This the bedroom?" he heard Jimmy ask.

"Yes."

The door knob turned and they both fell into the room, Jimmy caught Tony before he fell to the floor, "I think maybe you waited too long again Tony, your awful clumsy and your never clumsy well no not really I'm the one that…"

"Jim," Tony said his name and put a hand over his mouth, "are you sure, because you're starting to ramble."

"Yes I'm sure but I am nervous. I've never been with a man and well biology only helps so much."

"Kiss me again and I'll make sure you forget about being nervous."

And boy did Jimmy kiss him, Tony found himself pushed gently onto the bed and when they both were on it Jim straddled Tony leaning down and keeping the kiss going.

Tony was sure that Jim wasn't going to stop kissing him, he was too nervous and Tony was too far to stop. Tony felt the man arch up a little from his chest and figured he was trying to unbutton his shirt. Tony rolled them over and did it for him. He stopped kissing Jim and worked his way down his shoulder and nipped it lightly Jim arched up into him. Tony smiled and shook his head but continued on his quest to make Jim forget what he was doing until it was over. Slowly Tony worked his way down Jim's body, when he sucked on the man's nipples, he bit down lightly and heard Jim moan and felt his twist under him. When he did the same thing to the other side Tony found hands in his hair. Biting down hard enough to draw some blood, he heard Jim gasp and then make the cutest sound he had ever heard anyone make. It was a cross between and whimper, a whine and a purr. Reaching down and unfasten the slighter mans pants, he felt Jim lift his hips up and so Tony pushed them down and off. What he found surprised him though, even being nervous Jim was hard as a rock.

A though crossed Tony's mind, he worked his way to Jim's cock and took it in his mouth being mindful of his fangs. Jim arched so hard that his shoulders and feet were the only things touching the bed. Tony smiled around Jim and started working the young man's cock. Tony was sure Jim was about to come, he pulled back and took Jims cock in one hand and his in the other he heard Jim make that cute sound again but it morphed a second later as Tony sank his fangs into Jim's femoral artery. It took only a few seconds for both men to come. Tony only drank for a few seconds more before pulling away and licking the trickle of blood from the two little holes he had left in Jim's leg. When Tony looked up at Jim's face, he worried for a moment that something was wrong until he heard Jimmy sigh. Then he watched as Jimmy's hand felt for his and chuckled when the younger man pulled on it till he moved so they were laying on the bed evenly.

After a moment or two Jimmy turned, his head fluttered his eyes open and said, "hmm not what I was expecting but very good."

"I think I just found an alternative shall we say. Unless you are still uh um..."

"No no I'm good I don't think I've ever been so yeah." Jimmy left the statement unfinished because there really weren't words to describe what he was feeling. "So are you okay?" Jimmy asked, "I feel fine if you um need another drink." Jimmy's face was beet red but he pushed on and finished.

"No you it, I'm fine," Tony said, "no more head ache. I think I am going to have to talk to Ducky about Abby's idea."

"What idea?" Jimmy asked.

"To figure out how many mouthfuls a pint would be kinda base on where I um."

"Bite." Jimmy said.

"Yeah."

Tony looked up when he felt Jimmy's hand in his hair again. "Tony please stop tearing yourself up over this. It's okay, we all want to help you and we know you would help any of us if the roles were reversed. Dr. Mallard said that you have a hard time accepting help or letting other people take care of you because well because your father forgot you in a hotel." Jimmy wanted to say because your parents where awful and should have never been allowed to be parents. But then if they hadn't Tony wouldn't be here so instead he chose the one story he had heard that he thought would be the least painful if mentioned, because while his father had forgotten him, Tony had been safe and from the story well fed.

"Is that your way of saying I'm like those Romanian orphans?"

Jimmy shrugged one shoulder, "Yeah you don't know how to let others in, to help you. Let us show you how and that it really is alright. Besides, I know all the places the cameras don't tape at work if you need a quick snack."

Tony rolled over on to his back and laughed. Jimmy just smiled and rolled over on his side and watched the older man laugh.

"Hemolagnia." Jimmy said all of the sudden.

"What?" Tony asked.

"I think I know the name they need to be looking up. It's hemolagnia, well Dr. Mallard would have already looked it up."

"What is it?"

"It's Greek for sexual interest in blood."

"I don't have a sexual interest in blood I have a blood interest that requires sex Jimmy."

"That's semantics Tony."

"Maybe so let's go little autopsy gremlin and give them this piece of knowledge."

"You are okay right." Jimmy said pushing the vampire back down. "I really mean it Tony if you need more than that please take it, no more snack instead of a full meal." Jimmy said.

"I'm fine."

"Dinozzo what did I tell you about using that word to describe your current condition?" Gibbs said from the doorway.

Poor Jimmy was so startled by Gibbs that he squeaked and hid under the sheet.

"Damn it Jethro, he I damn it. He didn't once stutter or ramble well only for a second but still do you have to scare the crap out of the poor kid."

Gibbs stepped into his bedroom, "No not really just a side effect of trying to toughen him up."

"Be nice." Tony growled.

"Fine Anthony."

Jimmy popped his head out and watched the two men, Gibbs saw him and said, "In your medical opinion Palmer do you think he drank enough?"

Jimmy swallowed looked at Tony and shrugged. "I don't know sir, Agent Gibbs." He quickly corrected himself, "We don't know how much he actually needs, and it is hard to determine how much he has taken. I don't feel as if I've given to much but that has nothing to do with what he needs. he said he doesn't have a head ache anymore. Didn't Dr Mallard say something about your vision?" Palmer turned back to Tony.

"If it gets too bad it goes double, wasn't anywhere near there, just a mild nagging ache at the base of my skull." Tony explained. "I feel fine I know you don't like that word Jet but…"

"No I don't like that word coming from your mouth because you use it whether or not you are fine."

"Alright I'm well how's that?" Tony said being his usual sarcastic self.

"That will work, now the geeks think they have something clean up and come down stairs."
