It took exactly twenty seds after sundown for Casey t Sylvie out of the side entrao their home. “We go to that park where I picked up the twentlemen before we headed for our desti on the base.”

  Pnting her feet firmly in the dirt, Sylvie pulled ba Casey’s arm and the newborn vampire stumbled backward into her mistress’s arms. “Hello there, miss excitement.” Sylvie teased and stole a kiss from her lover. “We should really just take the bike over there, Missy.”

  Having no iion of stopping with a siantalizing kiss, Casey bit her lip and made blood start flowing out before wildly pressing herself to Sylvie. A half dozen blood-den kisses ter, Casey found herself held by her ass and ed very suggestively around Sylvie’s waist. “We could go baside too.” Casey giggle-purred before lig her tiny wounds closed. “I love your blood…I love how our blood tastes like…” She sighed and nuzzled Sylvie tight.

  “…Arterial and florid?” Sylvie mirrored Casey’s longing sigh. “ss Rivers. While you just hang out on my hips…” Sylvie tossed a couple more kiss-pecks on Casey’s cheeks, “…If we take the bike, then we don’t use any blood leaving.”

  Lifting her head and uning herself from Sylvie’s arms, Casey raised her vishly long eyebrow at Sylvie. “It would just be a little run. We could race.” She giggled and saw Sylvie’s eyes shifting slowly to Cheshire moonlit smiles. “That is damned sexy.” Casey lovingly hissed. “Before I make a public se, distract me with the reason why.” She shivered and started hopping io curb her excitement.

  “I see you are hungry, and that is expected. I am as well.” Sylvie made sure to lick the top of her red-grey lips, her pink towirling as she did so. “We run high speeds that rival the fastest sports car, but that burns an amazing amount of blood, my love.” Sylvie smiled widely when Casey started boung. “You do know your boobs are…mmm…” Sylvie py fanned herself.

  “Yours?” Casey ented and tied her strawberry-copper hair in a small ponytail. “I am all for saving blood, but…” She spread her arms wide and spun, “Isn’t all this at our disposal? I refill the gas tank whenever I want.”

  Ping the bridge of her nose, Sylvie quickly darted into the house and grabbed the keys to the motorcycle. “You have such a gift for words, my blood-lotus.” Sylvie pranced back to Casey and grabbed her girlfriend by the waist, “Maybe I just like your hands on my hips.”

  Sliding her hands behind where Sylvie was holding her, Casey mao start rubbing her lover’s butt tenderly. “I put my hands other pces, Sylvie.” Casey flirted and leaned harder into Sylvie’s arms. “I might be running out of cute girlie binations.” In a sudden blur, Casey spun in Sylvie’s arms aed her hands on her lover's moderately sized chest. “What were the odds that would happen, my snuggle-jewel?”

  Sylvie looked down at her chest, then back to Casey. “Tease. You know full well, we’d starve if we dropped in the leaves here.”

  -Though the leaves and her lovely form isn’t a bad idea.-

  Sylvie quickly envisiohe two rolling around happily getting autumn leaves stuck to their bodies. It was a couple of snaps of Casey’s fihat brought Sylvie out of her exg trance. “Oh, sorry.” Sylvie took a hitched breath and ran her fihrough her short blue-gray hair to shake off the vision. “Motorcycle, If you please.”

  “Only if you carry me.” Casey leapt into Sylvie’s arms and hooked her arms around her lover’s neck. “I am trying to preserve my low blood t.”

  F herself to keep quiet so they could hunt rather than keep going with the pyful bahat was sure to get them hungrier, Sylvie simply whistled a little tuil she put Casey down and jammed a hamlet on her head. “Finally. I get a break from you and a nose full of your addig strawberry-blonde hair.” Sylvie stuck out her tongue and started the bike.

  “You know you love it.” Casey climbed on behind her lover and id her head on Sylvie’s back. “Never ge, I love this.”

  Sylvie patted Casey ohigh and sped off towards the park about a half-mile away. “I am pretty sure that we should be back fairly soon, we o be ready for whoever Cisco is.”

  Not really wanting to lift her head from Sylvie’s back, Casey held her lhter. “There’s also that cil meeting, assuming that the others we called made it through the day.” She paused, “I hope the others don’t turn on us wheell them that An is the culprit.”

  “They have to be told he’s the ohat released the shadewraiths, even if it was an act.” Grumbling deep in her chest, Sylvie added, “I am still a touhat he bmed me for it all…and even guilt-tripped me into undoing his garbage.” Turning into the park, Sylvie guided the little bike to a darker se and stopped, flipping the kickstand down before she pulled the keys. “We also o find the means to deal with Tatum.”

  Mildly fused, Casey pulled her head free and promptly kissed Sylvie on the cheek. “Ha. You didn’t get a break.” She thehe helmet on the seat and furled her eyebrows. “Why do we need means to deal with Tatum? She just saved my mom.” Suddenly aware that she nearly lost her mother, Casey tossed her hands over her eyes and frustratingly rubbed her palms across her face. “Jesus, my mom. I was that close to losing her.” Casey focused her sunlit irises on Sylvie, “...and I hanked you for it.”

  “Casey.” Sylvie took Casey’s hand into her own, “o thank me. I love you, there’d be no way I would have let your mother be hurt.” Uo resist Casey’s ruby-red lips any longer, Sylvie slipped her hands to Casey’s cheeks and pulled the couple into a quiet embrabsp; When Sylvie’s blood ignited little tingles along her spihe elder vampire tently cooed and reflected how long she waited for moments like they were in.

  Lips pressed in light desperation of passion realized, Casey’s owion was almost identical to her lover’s except that her entire body flushed a light rose color and her mind scattered into a thousand different sparkles of starlight. Held firmly by her preoon, Casey melted into Sylvie’s toud internally marveled at how she found love in the least expected pbsp; A swift wind that carried the st of human bloht Casey back to the present and she groaned as she pulled out of their kiss. “I just had the thought…what if you had kissed me in Vivienne’s manor while I was making that…I think it was a tuna sad or something.” Casey lifted her o the air ahe hunger rising in her body, “How much blood have you taken in one night, Sylvie?” Casey asked while retreating and c her stomach, ed. “I might not stop with one.”

  Jerking Casey bato her arms with an impatient huff, Sylvie cocked her head and blew a few strands of her hair out of her eyes. “Who said you have to stop with one?” Sylvie quickly kissed Casey and stepped back patting her jeans pocket. “Nope, not there.”

  Half-smiling, Casey knew something sarcastic was ing and waved her hand, “I ’t believe I am going to fall for this…” She rolled her eyes, “...What isn’t there my mistress?”

  “You’re no fun.” Sylvie took off her leather jacket and hung it over the handlebars. “I shouldn’t tell you now.”

  Making sure that her hair was still firmly in pce, Casey adjusted her blouse and began walking off. “Have it your way…but I suspect that you will say it regardless.”

  “I was looking for my vampire rulebook, you ass.” Sylvie quickly caught up to Casey. “Alright, there are four people milling about just ahead by the tennis courts.”
