Nathaniel was done for the night, there would be no shapeshifting He was barely conscious in that after great sex kind of way A few of the customers complained, but not many Most of them felt that they&039;d had a shoorth the price of adot Nathaniel settled in what the strippers called the quiet roohts, and was just what the naet your shit together when things went odd There were smaller rooms where you could pay to have a private dance, but this wasn&039;t one of the when you were tired or had to pull a surprise double shift
I stroked Nathaniel&039;s hair, and asked hiht?"
He&039;d opened his eyes just barely and smiled up at me I&039;d never seen his face so content "Yes, very, yes"
I told hilow, and I put Requiem on the door, because Nathaniel wasbusy for awhile
My eyes had bled back to normal by the time I walked down the hallway toward Jean-Claude&039;s office He stopped in the hallway and called after , ma petite?"
I paused at the door and looked at him "To your office"
"Yourto be utterly neutral, and failing just a bit
I opened the door still looking at him "Come into the office, Jean-Claude, and lock the door" I didn&039;t wait to see what he&039;d do, I went through the door, leaving it open behind me I went to the desk and hopped up on it I could have tried for subtle, but it was late, and I didn&039;t feel the least bit subtle I put s apart, and let the skirt ride up as far as it wanted to go It was outrageously slutty, but the look on his face as he calad I&039;d done it
He leaned against the door and locked it, and was unbuttoning his jacket as he walked across the floor I pulled off the leather jacket and threw it to the floor His jacket was on the floor, the fluffy white cravat undone so that his upper neck showed pale I slipped the shoulder holster off my arms but only had the belt partly undone, when he pulled the shirt over his head, and was naked from the waist up I finished the belt, but he was at the desk before I got it off, slipping the shoulder holster free and setting gun and all besideblack lacquer desk
I went to my knees on his desk and fell upon the silken ers and mouth I licked the cross-shaped burn scar I drew first one nipple and then the other into ue, sucked them Used my hands to mound the flesh of his chest, so I could take more of his nipple into my mouth, more of his breast Until I could lock my mouth around as much as would fill it, and bit down until he cried out and his hands found my face, drew me away from his body, and to his e, as if ere exploring every inch with tongue, lips, teeth He drew back from the kiss, and his eyes had bled to blue Mine were still my own, but I didn&039;t care His hands found my shirt, and he pulled it overdown the line of my neck, my shoulder, and mounds of my breasts where they spilled up from the black lace bra He stuck his hands inside my bra and lifted my breasts out so they rested on the underwire, like it was a black frame for the pale mounds of my breasts
He went to his knees and pulled ue over ht, and wet, until I made small noises He locked his mouth around my breast and drew as s without nickingharder on ood, but I could feel how careful he was being It wasn&039;t the first time he&039;d played with me like this, but it was the first ti of what he wanted It wasn&039;t like telepathy, or a picture in my head, I just knew I knehat he wanted to do What he was fighting not to do
"Bleed me," I said
He rolled his eyes up to me, so he could seeyou&039;ve wanted to do that no careful you&039;ve been"
He stopped and released my breast slowly, carefully He said, "Ma petite, you are drunk with the neers, but toht, you will not be"
I shook my head "Let ht in yourthat the whole ride will appeal toto try a little, to see if I&039;ll like a lot, or not"
He looked strangely suspicious, and I realized that it was ht hiive you ree to try tonight A little blood tonight, only a little, barely a nick, just a taste" I leaned in toward his face "I know that you want to feed there now You never told me"
"Nor would I have, ma petite, you let me take blood so infrequently, that I would never have dreamt to ask such a liberty When you will not share your neck, ould I think to ask fornow I&039;d take me up on it, if I were you Who knows if I&039;ll ever offer again, if you say no now" I stared into his face from inches away and let hierness Eagerness to try
"What has gotten into you, otten into me, or I want you to I want you inside me, Jean-Claude, I want you inside me I want you to lie me back across this desk, with my breasts bare and your mark on them I want you to push yourself inside me and watch the blood flow from the wound that you made I want you to watch the blood flow fast and faster, while you fuckmy fantasy, ma petite, have I taken you over?"
"I don&039;t think so," I said, but even the thought of it didn&039;t panic ht, Jean-Claude, just a little nick"
He reached aroundthe back of my bra He slipped it off azed up at her than my breasts I didn&039;t mind in the least
He cupped entlest of kisses upon each of theht blue, as human as his eyes ever became "Are you sure, ma petite, are you sure?"
I nodded "Yes, oh, yes"
He cupped ht breast in his hand, then took just the tip of it in hisof his mouth over ht and thick under his touch It brought my breath faster, made my pulse race He rolled his eyes upward to watch my face, and whatever he saw there reassured hiasp Then he drew, slowly, so slowly, more and more of my breast into his mouth He&039;d never taken so much in at once, because to do even thisblood His mouth was so warm, so wide, the hard press of his teeth was as distant as he could make it and still hold me in his mouth
He used his hands to help his ainstback until there was much less between his lips He went back out to the safe distance that he&039;d been before He drew just the tip of my breast in his mouth, and he sucked He sucked and pulled and stretched it out and out, until I made small sounds low in my throat
He squeezed my breast between his hand, squeezed it, and rolled his eyes up to watch hter, tighter until it felt like he was trying to garrote ers It hurt, it did, but it was allon my nipple, and that didn&039;t hurt, not really In fact it felt good, so good
It fell out of my mouth in a voice that was almost a moan, "Yes, please, please, yes"
He rolled his eyes up again to watch e, or warning, and suddenly he bit down, not as hard as I&039;d seen in his head, but a little He let the barest tips of those sharp fangs graze my breast as he sucked it, as he squeezed it with his hand It was sharp, but it didn&039;t hurt It was lost in the other sensations His hand squeezing so tight, hiscompared to the rest
He let his ht between his teeth But there on the mound of my breast were two tiny dots of crilide down my skin He drew my nipple out and out, and we both watched those two tiny trails of red slide down , that I cried out, "Enough, enough"
He drew back, gently, and knelt for athe colors flow on ers They faded, but the two lines of blood didn&039;t fade They glided down my skin, and as the sensation returned to liding touch, the sight of it easing down my skin, made me shiver
He shs, and it was only as his fingers brushed certain parts that I ht"
He frowned "Are you hurt?"
I explained as briefly as possible "Let&039;s just say that the ardeur needed feeding and Requieentleman I think we&039;d both be less sore if he&039;d been a little less of a gentleman"
He looked puzzled
"I&039;ll explain everything in detail, but later, please, Jean-Claude Take off the pants, I&039;ve had all the leather pants up close and personal that I can handle tonight Let me see you nude"
He peeled off boots and the leather pants with the practiced ease of someone ears a lot of them I&039;d seen him nude more ti me with his beauty Flawless was the only word I had for him White and pale, and perfect, as if someone could carve cold white marble and breathe life into it, and plant a blush of color at his groin, where he sat straight and thick and ready The hair that trailed froroin was as black as the curls that fell around his shoulders That black, black hair stark and unreal against the whiteness of hientler words for what I wanted, but all I could think of was how much I wanted hi color inside my body "Fuck me," I said, because make love was not what I meant I wanted the sex that hat he&039;d done todown my skin
"Fuck me"
He bent over me and licked the blood offso good and didn&039;t want to lose a single drop I wason the desk by the time he raised his face up and showed me eyes that had drowned in blue flame
I whispered, "Please, Jean-Claude, please"
He did what I&039;d seen in his head, he did what I&039;d offered He laid e of the wood My skirt was completely bunched around hs and the boots, and nothing else He used his hands to spread ainst ht"
"Fuck me," I said, "please, just do it, please, please, please, please"
Soan to force hiht, and so wet On another night, I would have asked for ht I wanted to feel him push his way in I wanted to feel him shove his, using his hips and legs to drive hiht, and I started to struggle underneath the push of it Not struggle to get away, but struggle because I couldn&039;t help it My hands and ar within reach off, includingto scratch and hold on to, but there was nothing but the cool wood of the desk, and that wasn&039;t what I wanted to touch
When he was as far inside an to pull hi to hold on to hian to work himself in, just as slowly If he didn&039;t hurry, I wasn&039;t going to be tight any hi to lose that if he kept being gentle
"Fuck ht, please"
"That will hurt," he said
"I want it to hurt"
He gave ripped my hips in his hands, let th, and he did what I asked He drove himself into me, and pulled himself out of me, as fast and hard as he could It did hurt, and I wasn&039;t ready for it, and it was exactly what I wanted
He drove himself in as deep and hard as he could, so that the irunt from my body and a sound in his that I&039;d never heard before He trapped th of his hands, and he forced hihtness ofa new hole, because this one wasn&039;t wide enough
The blood was flowing acrosslines, as my heart beat faster, and my blood pumped itself out of those two little holes The blood looked so red, so red, on the white of s so that rabbed my hips and pulled me further down the desk, closer to his body, and used his weight to push le inside me, made it deeper, sharper
I cried out
He moved his hands to my waist and pulled s down so that I was alentler versions of this, and he kneas lih for it, but it was suddenly a ht knot, fucking ether so that he could lick my chest while he fucked me
He raised his face up from my chest, and his s to either side, and jerked me up, off the desk, so that I was suddenly pressed to the front of his body, s wrapped around his waist He kissed me, kissed me with the taste of my own blood likelow sounds in his throat, and he drove us into the wall hard enough that h that if he hadn&039;t cradled my head, it would have hit the wall He drove hiain, as hard and as fast as he could I wasn&039;t tight anymore, I et and loose, and it didn&039;t matter
His chest and sto criainst the white of his body He pressed his entire body against ht and close as he could, so that the slickness of blood began to floeen us, as he pinned s locked around his body, my arms locked around his shoulders, I held hi to put a hole in the wall behindainst his body I alh, alasulfed ainst the weight and strength of hile, another kind of fight My teeth dug into his shoulder, h his back, and my body rode his, while he pounded me into the wall, and somewhere in all of that I felt his body convulse, felt his hips drive in one powerful effort up and inside me
He screamed as he came, and I felt hiainst the wall and tried to steady us as his knees collapsed, and we ended on the floor with s still wrapped around his waist, hied, and his eyes unfocused, as he stared into my face "Mon Dieu"
"&039;Wow&039; see&039; doesn&039;t cover it," I said I tried to touch his face, but found thatthat well yet "Just proht"
He sht in it "That is one promise, ma petite, that I will happily make"
"I&039;ll hold you to it," I said
"Oh, no," he said, and found that he had enough strength left to lean in against ainst you"

We&039;d ht When we&039;d recovered enough to walk, we&039;d throw on our clothes Pick up Nathaniel and drive to the Circus of the Damned We&039;d tuck Nathaniel in somewhere, and Jean-Claude and I planned on a nice, hot bath But before we&039;d even gotten to the throwing the clothes on part,
I almost didn&039;t answer it, because no one calls at three in thein the little as Detective Sergeant Zerbrowki "Shit," I said
"What is it, ma petite?"
"Police" I flipped the phone open and said, "Hey, Zerbrowski, what&039;s up?"
"Hey back at you I&039; at?"
"Another dead stripper," I said
"How&039;d you guess?"
"I&039;m psychic I assume you want me to come down and look at the body"
"Never assu, but in this case, yeah"
I looked down at"I&039;ll be there as soon as I get cleaned up"
"You covered in chicken blood?"
"Sooing anywhere, but the witnesses are getting restless"
"Witnesses," I said, "we have witnesses?"
"Witnesses or suspects," he said
"What&039;s that supposed to mean?"
"Come down to the Sapphire Club and find out"
"The Sapphire, isn&039;t that the high end club, the one that calls itself a gentlemen&039;s club?"
"Anita, I&039;m shocked, I didn&039;t know you frequented the titty bars"
"They wanted to use vao talk to them about it"
"I didn&039;t know that was part of your official job description," he said
If it had been Dolph, I would have let it go, but it was Zerbrowski, and he was okay "The Church of Eternal Life doesn&039;t allow itselse the church considers morally questionable So the club needed Jean-Claude&039;s permission to iave it?"
"No"
"And you ith him to help decide?"
"No"
"You went alone?" he asked
"No"
He sighed "Oh, hell, just get down here If you said vampires were supposed to stay away fro to be happy"
"Just no vae," I said, "other than that, not our business"
