"This may have spoilers to Mr. Quinlan! Proceed at your own risk!

I have been listing to The Night Eternal audio book. Quinlan's reintroduction and back story had to be my favorite parts yet. I noticed tho as I listened, that the reason why Quinlan could not "claim a woman" as his own, in the early days of his life was connected to his inability to sire children, and not to any indication that he could not partake in sex.

There is no indication that Quinlan is gender less. like other strigoi. Only that he can't procreated like strigoi. Since he was determined to be " male " at birth. The only way that he could be determined to be male at birth is if he had male genitals. Add to this. That he would eventually be given a wife, and that she and him enjoyed intimacy together.

I believe that Quinlan and other half breeds like him. Have both vampire and human sex organs, but like mules. Are sterile."

Booya! Okay, here we go...

I haven't been able to read over it and edit anything so I'm sure there are tons of typos and mistakes. Be gentle, please! ;_;

"Can't you see our burning souls
We hide a secret deep inside
We show you pleasures without pain
Take our gift this night"

BlutEngel - Vampire Romance Part 1

...

Quinlan wrapped his arms around her tighter, both of them laying in what she had started calling their personal nesting area. He was still rather shocked by her surprising background but he couldn't complain.

"I descend from a coven of witches who dedicated their lives to killing the strigoi. Though, someone discovered my ancestors secret, claimed them to be evil, and all but two were burned at the stake. The remaining two managed to escape." She paused when Quinlan helped her up, "Though our family has never had the best of luck. They tried keeping the bloodline pure and continued fighting the vampires but eventually they were all killed, burned alive by several of those who were helping the master. I'm the only one in my family that is left."

The half breed had thought back and remembered a coven being mentioned by the others from time to time but he never heard anything about them in great detail.

"What is your full name?"

"Winter Daniella Swan."

Then he faintly remembered a voice from long ago, "If you can find anyone left alive in the Swan coven you will have a loyal companion in this fight. But they are a rare find now. Originally there were thirteen, now there may be two or so in hiding but you will not discover their location."

She was the only one of her family left...

Quinlan suddenly had the urge to protect her, to keep her hidden from any kind of danger.

"My boss at the library said an older gentleman came in looking for books about witches then asked for me by name..."

That caught his attention.

"I think maybe it was a coincidence but... She said he had a German accent."

A protective growl escaped his throat and she leaned in to nuzzle his neck in an attempt to calm him down. One hand gently touched the bruise that still pained her back, the other tangled in her dark hair and pulled her up so their lips were touching.

Winter trailed her hands up to rest on the side of his face and deepened the kiss, loving the growls escaping his throat.

"I have to admit, your growls are comforting."

"Comforting?"

"Mhmm."

He smiled and began to purr against her, feeling her relax even more in his arms.

Quinlan slipped his hand down under the black sundress she had changed into the night before. He pushed her thighs open and laid over top of her, still locked in a passionate kiss.

The half breed pulled away and nipped at her neck. He wanted to taste her blood. He was able to drink from humans without them turning but he was unsure as to how she would react.

His personal favorite area to drink from was the right femoral artery. He allowed his tongue to trace over her neck and shoulder. Relief filled him when she held him tighter.

"You won't break me. Go ahead." She said, pulling her hair away from her neck. A growl sounded and she smiled comfortingly, "You haven't had anything in a while, I can tell."

"I do not wish to frighten you."

"Quinlan, you won't frighten me. I've never done drugs, I don't drink, and I'm a virgin. My body is healthy. Let me be your blood doll."

Winter kissed him again and he moved to her neck. Gentle hands held him closer. Quinlan ever so gently held her hips against his with one hand, the other moving to the back of her neck to shift her head so he could drink without bringing her much pain.

When the stinger pierced the right external jugular vein, she gasped and closed her blue eyes. He felt her hands pull him tighter to her and he heard a lustful moan escape her pouty lips.

Her blood was delicious, the sounds she was unable to hold back were even more so. The hybrid took in her candy sweet blood very slowly, fingers of one hand once again trailing up her dress and into her panties.

She pushed her body up against his with another moan while struggling to get his gear and hoodie off of his chest so she could feel his skin against hers.

'Eager, are we?' She heard him in her mind and slowly nodded, 'We have all the time we need.'

"W-we can take it slow later, I'm anxious..." She gasped

Her dress was elastic at the top so was easily pulled down over her legs and thrown to the side. As for the wretched contraption modern day society called a 'bra,' he managed to fiddle with it and get it off of her chest.

He withdrew his tongue and threw off his own clothing before gathering her back up in his arms and forcing off her black panties.

A part of her desperately wished he would drink more of her blood, it felt amazing but she wasn't exactly sure how much more she was able to give.

She felt his fingers enter her and she let her head fall back, eyes closing with a quiet moan. Her fingers gripped his shoulders.

'Relax your body, love.'

Winter gasped and forced her muscles to relax, going limp in his strong arms. His movements were faster inside of her and she began to feel as if she were going insane from a feeling she couldn't quite describe with words. Eventually, she gave in to the most powerful orgasm she had ever experienced. Her screams echoed off the walls around them.

'Okay, so Quinlan has ruined masturbation for me...' She thought with a blush touching her pale cheeks, reaching her arms up to wrap around his neck.

He kissed her lips again, slowly moving his fingers out of her and replacing them with himself instead. He entered her slowly, coming to her barrier. Having her lay back on the blankets, he leaned his forehead down to hers and comfortingly held her hips.

She let out a pained cry as a tear escaped one of her eyes but she pulled his face to hers and pressed her lips to his before he could pull away.

Quinlan waited until the pain faded before he moved. He listened to her breathing and watched her closely to make sure she was in no more pain. Soon she began moving her body along with his. Her teeth bit at his neck, making him smirk at her actions. He wrapped her legs around him while he moved.

"Q-Quintus..."

Strong hands stroked up and down her sides and his thrusts became faster upon hearing his name. He licked her neck over the opening from his earlier feeding that had a small, thin stream of blood dripping down her shoulder. Leaning down so his mouth was against her ear he whispered, "Come for me, love."

That voice with the growls was the final push she needed. She came in his arms, the pleasure so great that she had trouble keeping her eyes opened to watch his beautiful red eyes as they watched her.

His growls were louder as followed her climax with his own. She felt his face in her neck when she blacked out.

...

Hours later, thunder was heard from their area underground.

Quinlan opened his eyes and saw Winter was still asleep against him, curled up with her face buried in his neck. He pulled the deep red blanket over the both of them.

"Hey, there's a flood warning for the area and I want you to know if I drown down here I'm gonna be comin' back to haunt your ass..." Gus trailed off after barging in through the door. He saw the scene before him and stopped walking, unsure of what to say, "Well, this is awkward..."

"Indeed it is."

"Uh, yeah. Flood warning. If I die-"

"You'll come back to haunt me, I heard you the first time."

"Yeah, so... I'm getting my ass above ground." He turned to walk out, muttering, "This is bullshit, vampy gets laid and I don't?"

Gus took out his cell phone and dialed Bridget's number on his way up.

Quinlan shook his head and went back to nuzzling his mate.
