What happens when a guy with a germ phobia, an aversion to people and who faints at the sight of blood becomes a vampire?

:Vamp:

They knew better. They were easy pickings. But they had been so excited about the new Star Trek movie, that they hadn't planned ahead. It got dark sooner than they anticipated. And look where it had gotten them. Running through the park, being herded like sheep. Fear is a great motivator, though, and they ran faster than they thought possible. They all might have made it if not for a tree root.

Penny was just coming out of the laundry room when Howard, Raj and Leonard stumbled into the safety of the building. She looked at them with disbelief. "You guys went out? Are you nuts?"

They leaned against the wall and struggled to catch their breath. "Went….see….movie," Howard gasped out.

Penny shook her head with annoyance. "You guys are idiots. You're prey! You should have stayed in and went in the morning." She headed for the stairs. "At least Sheldon was smart enough to stay home."

"Ummm," Leonard looked chagrined.

Penny stopped and turned back to them. "Tell me Sheldon is upstairs. Tell me you didn't leave him behind."

Raj looked at his shoes. Howard looked at the ceiling. Leonard looked at his friends and then hung his head. "We were being chased."

Penny dropped her basket, clothes tumbling across the floor. She grabbed Raj since he was the closest. Her hand twisted in his sweater vest. "Where. Is. He?" she growled.

Raj felt his bladder constrict painfully. "P…p…park!" he stuttered. Penny shoved him out of her way and ran out of the building.

Leonard, Howard and Raj jumped when the door burst open and bounced off the wall. Penny stumbled in, one of Sheldon's arms around her neck. Howard and Raj jumped up off the couch and helped her lower Sheldon down onto it. Leonard reached for his phone to call 911, but Penny slapped it from his hands.

"They can't help him. He's about to turn." She hurried back to Sheldon's room and grabbed his blanket and then stepped into the bathroom for some towels and the first aid kit. She hurried back and sat down beside Sheldon's head. She spread the blanket over him and rolled up a towel before placing it under his neck. She opened the kit and grabbed some bandages. She cleaned the wounds on his wrists and neck and then bandaged them carefully.

"You brought him here?!" Leonard exclaimed. "Are you insane?"

Penny glared at him. "This is his home, Leonard! He's still our friend."

Leonard gestured to the couch with agitation. "No, he was our friend! Now he's a vampire! He'll drain us dry!"

Penny hopped up and stomped over. She got right in Leonard's face. "Then get out. This was his place first. You don't want to live with Sheldon? Then pack your crap."

Leonard looked at her with shock. "I can't believe this! Are you listening to yourself? HE'S A VAMPIRE! None of us are safe!"

Penny poked him in the chest. "You left him," she hissed furiously. "You ran like a coward and left him behind. At this moment, I don't give a damn about your concerns. He's my friend, even if he isn't yours. I'm going to do whatever I can to help him through this."

Howard and Raj were standing by the desks looking back and forth between them. Raj stepped forward and looked at Penny with embarrassment. "I'll help too."

Leonard glared at Raj and then turned back to Penny. "Fine, but you aren't keeping him here! You think it's so safe? Take him to your apartment!"

"You're a rat bastard," Penny sneered. She walked over to the couch and sat back down by Sheldon's head. "I'm not moving him anywhere."

Penny looked up as the door opened. Raj walked in with a small cooler and a bag containing some breakfast containers. It had been a long night. Leonard had grabbed his overnight bag and headed to Howard's. A few hours later Sheldon had begun to thrash and moan. It took her and Raj both to hold him down. Just before dawn he had sunk into the deep sleep. Then Raj had went for some breakfast, and some blood to feed Sheldon when he woke up. They ate silently and then Raj stretched out on Leonard's bed. Penny curled up in the armchair and pulled a throw over herself.

She woke up slowly, stretching pleasantly. She cuddled into the arms around her and sighed happily. Cool lips nuzzled her neck and she turned to kiss them. A large hand moved up to squeeze her breast and Penny moaned.

"Penny?"

She woke up completely and looked in shock at Sheldon. He was leaning over her, his eyes intense, yet confused. He jumped away quickly, twitching like a Chihuahua. Immediately she hopped up and moved to the kitchen. She grabbed a bag of blood from the cooler and turned toward Sheldon. He took one look at it and fainted.

Sheldon opened his eyes slowly and looked up at Raj. He frowned a bit and sat up. Raj looked at him warily, which made him angry. He was stunned by his anger. He looked around and saw Penny in the kitchen. She was standing by the microwave.

"What do you remember?" she asked.

He ran a hand through his hair, and thought back. "We were at the movies. It got dark quicker than we had planned. A group of vampires chased us through the park. I tripped and fell." Sheldon paused and looked anxious. "They bit me."

He turned toward Raj. "How did I get here?"

Raj pointed at Penny. "She went and got you. We stayed with you all night while you turned. Please don't drain me," he whimpered.

Sheldon cringed back. "I can't do that! I'm not about to bite you!"

Penny walked over with a travel thermos mug. She held it out to Sheldon. "Here, try this."

Sheldon sniffed it delicately. It smelled wonderful. He couldn't quite place the scent, but it made his stomach growl. He grabbed the mug and tipped it back. It was thick and sweet like honey over his tongue. He licked away the last drop on his lips and frowned. "Is there any more?"

Penny nodded and spun away. Her hair flew out and he caught the scent of her skin. Sheldon breathed deeply and closed his eyes. She smelled like the drink tasted. Like ambrosia.

"Whoa! Back it up!" Sheldon opened his eyes and found he had moved toward Penny. Her back was against the sink and he was so close, she was bent backwards. She was looking at him sternly.

"You smell so good," his thick twangy accent made her eyes dilate. He licked his lips. He could smell the arousal on her. What was wrong with him? He had never approached Penny sexually before. She was his friend. Sure, he was aware of her attractiveness, but it was a fantasy to him. The closest he had ever come to expressing his desire was when Penny had called him a beautiful mind. But it was a momentary thing. Easily hidden.

Now, however, he wanted to taste her lips. Were they as succulent as they appeared? Was her skin still as soft as he remembered? What would it be like to feel her strong hands wrapped around him? Even with two inches of space between them, he could feel her body heat rise. He dragged his gaze down to her chest and watched her nipples pebble.

Suddenly a mug was thrust under his nose, and he smelled that oh so sweet scent. He licked his lips and turned toward Raj's hand. He grabbed the mug and drank deeply. He growled around the rim as Penny slipped away from him and moved across the room. As soon as the mug was empty, Raj took it away and refilled it. Before he could get more than a half dozen steps closer to Penny the mug was back. By the time he had finished the third drink, he was feeling more in control. He looked from Raj to Penny with confusion. "Oh lord! I'm drinking blood, aren't I?!"

"You are a newly turned vamp," Penny said soothingly. "It'll be okay. We're going to help you."

Sheldon looked at her with anger. "Okay? What about this is okay?! I don't want to be a vampire! I can't drink blood, or sleep all day! When would I work? What about Thai food?" Sheldon froze and his jaw dropped. "Good lord! My mother! She's going to be so mad!"

Penny hurried over and placed a hand on his arm soothingly. "Sheldon, we'll find a way to take care of everything. I promise."

Sheldon huffed angrily and then stilled. Her scent invaded his olfactory bulb and his body reacted. Sheldon grabbed her hand and pulled her against him. He buried his nose in the crook of her neck and breathed deeply. Penny shuddered against him as his tongue snaked out and licked a trail along the vein. Sheldon pressed his hips tight against hers and then yelped. He released Penny, who jumped back away from him. He rubbed his ribs where she had pinched him.

Now that she was across the room, he felt a bit calmer. "What is happening?"

Raj looked up from Sheldon's laptop. "According to this, your experiencing a side effect of blood lust. Ordinary lust." Raj turned the screen so they could see it. "Well, not exactly ordinary. It seems that newly turned vamps have two hungers. There's the blood hunger, and a secondary one. The secondary hunger can either be violent or sexual. You apparently have the second one."

Sheldon inched closer to Penny, who was watching him warily. "Is it permanent?" she asked.

Raj shook his head, watching Sheldon with fascination. "No. He'll always have sexual urges now, but the intensity wears off after a few feedings. The site says that it wears off faster if he sates the urge."

Sheldon was watching Penny intensely, tracking her as she edged around the couch. Penny kept one eye on him and the other on her escape route. "I'm not having sex with you just because of some stupid vampire urge, Sheldon. So chill out!"

Sheldon licked his lips, excitement flowing through him. He felt powerful. Predatory. He felt more alive as a dead man than he ever had as a live one. He watched Penny twitch warily. Suddenly he understood why the vamps last night had been laughing. This was intoxicating.

He edged slightly to the left, sending Penny back toward the armchair. He calculated the angle and stepped forward between the couch and the table. Raj was whimpering slightly and Penny moved closer to the kitchen. Sheldon grinned and sprang forward. Penny squealed and took off down the hall. Sheldon leapt over the chair and gave chase. She made it as far as the bathroom door when he caught her. Sheldon snatched her up and they crashed into the door. It popped open and they landed on the cool tile floor.

Sheldon kicked the door closed with his foot and rolled them over so he was above her. Penny's eyes were wide, her respiration fast and shallow. He dipped his head and nuzzled her collar. Sheldon groaned as her scent enveloped him. "Luscious," he murmured.

Penny held as still as possible. She wasn't scared that Sheldon would hurt her. She was more concerned that he would regret this later and hate her. "Please, sweetie," she said soothingly. "This isn't a good idea. You aren't yourself. You don't really wants this."

Sheldon growled and used his knees to spread her legs apart. He pressed his erection into her thigh. "I disagree," he said with a grin. "I've wanted this for over a year. Ever since you moved in across the hall. I was just never brave enough to say so." He pushed her shirt up, exposing her stomach. He bent and placed a line of kisses down to her waist. He loved the way she shivered under him.

Penny looked at him with shock. "Sheldon, what are you saying?"

He crawled down her body, slipping his fingers under the band of her shorts. "I'm saying you have about 5 seconds to convince me you don't want this before I strip you naked."

He counted to five in his head and gently pulled her shorts down her legs. Penny raised her hips to help him. He raised up and reached for his belt. Penny reached out and pushed his hands away. He watched her eagerly as she unbuckled his belt and pants. She slowly lowered his zipper and raised up in front of him. Her eyes held his as she pushed the chinos off his hips.

She held up a finger and looked stern. "No biting!" Sheldon smirked and leaned in to capture her lips. Her arms wound around his neck and she pulled him back down. Sheldon reached between them and positioned himself before surging forward. Penny gasped against his mouth as he filled her. Sensations overwhelmed him and he lost himself in pleasure.

Raj was flipping through the channels when the door opened. Leonard and Howard peered around the edge cautiously. They looked around the room and stepped inside. Howard closed the door slowly and looked at Raj.

"You're still alive, I see. How did it go?" Howard asked.

Raj shrugged. "He woke up, and drank a bag of blood. It satisfied his desire to feed."

Leonard looked around some more. "Where is Penny?"

A husky moan floated down the hallway. The guys turned toward the sound. Leonard looked sick to his stomach. He turned back to Raj. "What was that?" he asked hesitantly.

"Oh god, Sheldon!" Howard and Leonard jumped slightly.

Raj turned the volume up on the tv. "That was Penny. She's helping Sheldon with his other desires."

Leonard slumped on the couch. "I cannot catch a break!" he groused.

Howard smirked. "No, but Sheldon sure can."
