Nodding, she says, “Yes. I heard the feeling is amazing. One of my coworkers said she came just from the bite alone. So, yeah, I’m trying it.”
“I guess.” I shrug.
Our server returns with our drinks, and when she walks away, two tall vampires appear out of nowhere. I think I blinked and they were standing in front of our table, startling the shit out of both of us. We laughed nervously at the same damn time.
“Damn,” we exclaim in unison.
“My thoughts exactly,” the midnight-skinned one utters before running his tongue under his fangs. He’s kind of cute but practically salivating. They are both attractive but not in the same class as Noab. That man. I’m still thinking about him. “Can we entertain you ladies tonight?”
“No. We’re good,” I say politely and his fangs disappear.
“Are we good?” Shae whispers and I double down.
“We are,” I tell her, then look back at them. “Thank you though,” I say and they disappear as fast as they came.
“That fast moving shit is crazy,” Shae says.
“Very,” I agree. I wonder if Noab does that.
“They were kind of cute though.”
“But too thirsty. Did you see how he kept doing that tongue thing with his fangs?”
“Yeah. That was too much,” she agrees.
We drink our second round of Vampire Kisses and continue to take in our surroundings. The DJ is actually really good and I find myself swaying in my seat and wanting to dance. I turn to Shae to see if she wants to join me on the dance floor but she’s engaged in a conversation with a vampire at the next table. She’s so enthralled that her next words do not surprise me at all.
“I’m going upstairs with him,” she says giddily.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, and I’ll be fine. Take that worried look off your face. The security in here are vampires too. Plus, I have my phone. Are you okay down here by yourself?”
“I’m good,” I assure her and try to erase the worry I didn’t think was on my face. “And have fun,” I add.
“Oh, she will,” he says as he stands.
He extends his hand to Shae and she happily accepts. She turns around and purses her lips at me then smiles. I watch as they head to the black, tinted glass elevator for VIP and ascend to the top level. I can see them through the small wall until they walk through a door. I pull out my phone and text her.
Me: Where did you go?
Shae: In a private room. It’s nice. I’m in the private bathroom freshening up. I’m good. Stop texting
I leave my phone on the table in case she texts or calls. With the dark lighting and music, I don’t want to miss her. She’s right; security is posted all around but she’s my family, my responsibility. Going with any man, vampire or not, as soon as you meet him is risky and we look out for each other.
As I wait and watch my phone, I finish my drink and order a ginger ale. Two of those good but strong ass hell drinks are enough. I’m not driving but I do need to go to work in the morning. Hangovers and emergency calls do not mix at all. I cannot make it through a shift with a headache and sour stomach.
Two ginger ales later, Shae emerges from the elevator alone. There’s a big ass smile on her face, and if I didn’t know better, I would say her face was glowing. When she makes it to our table, she falls into her chair.
“How was it?” I ask.
“A-fucking-mazing,” she gushes.
“Did it hurt?”
“No. It felt like a needle prick and that small amount of irritation faded instantly. It was sensual as hell. He growled lowly as he slurped on me and I felt that shit all over. Nisha was right. I definitely had an orgasm. Whew lord!” she sighs loudly. The glaze in her eyes matches her words and huge smile. She had a time. “I’ll definitely do that again.”
“For real?”
