him stop. She was afraid God would be upset. That it wasn’t natural.” Alvin scoffed. “Of course it wasn’t natural! But I wanted to live. And I wanted her to live with me. But she was afraid. I told the vampire to do it anyway. I knew she’d eventually accept it. But he refused. He said she had the right. I was furious. I still am. So, I completed the conversion in anger. I always thought that my chemical make-up screwed up the change. Anyway. Doesn’t matter. I’m still very fucking powerful!”
“Well, I’ll just have to let you show me. You’ve had your ride and I took care of the girl. I want a ride, too. But, and don’t get offended, I like you, I do, but, you don’t appeal to me. Sexually, I mean. You don’t get me off. I like pussy, but I also like cock. So I need to do a little shopping. You want to come? And watch?”
Alvin thought about it for a moment and he realized he did.
CHAPTER SIX
Eillia hauled the barely conscious man into her cabin, the snow following them in to blanket the floor in white. It showed how cold it was inside when the snow did not begin to melt quickly. She laid him on the tattered rug in front of the dark fireplace and lit it immediately. He was soaked, so she used vampire speed to undress him and threw the damp garments across the room to land in a heap beneath the frozen window. Then she pulled the comforter off her bed and wrapped it around him.
She dropped back to sit on the floor and let herself lean against the front of the couch. Her eyes stayed on the still figure illuminated by the growing brightness of the fire as the flames gathered strength and grew larger and hotter. Just what she needed, she thought. A stranger to rescue. Another person in her sanctuary. Who didn’t belong there. She shook her head and laid it back against the seat of the couch. Damn! Well, she couldn’t leave him. It wasn’t in her nature to ignore someone in distress, and she knew without a doubt he was dead if she hadn’t given him a chance by feeding him a small amount of her very powerful blood.
But now she had a human in her home to deal with. He’d heal quickly now and she’d probably have him gone within a day or two. Still, it was an interruption at a time she was really working hard to get well again. He wasn’t welcome. Well, it was a moot point. He was here now and she just needed to heal him, get him out of there, and wipe his memory. So there was no reason to worry about concealing her nature. He wouldn’t remember her or any moment of this time.
With a soft sigh, she crawled forward and unwrapped him a little. He might need another small dose of her blood, so she needed to assess him. As she pulled the comforter back, she got a good look at his face for the first time. The color was already back to normal, and he seemed to be breathing okay. She tilted her head as she stared at him. He was the man from the bar who thought he knew her. What the hell had he been doing out there at dusk on a snowmobile? He seemed like he would be smarter than that. Well, he was a lucky idiot since he had the good fortune to try to die with a first blood vampire passing by.
She pulled the bedding back a little further to check him over. He was still very cold. He needed body heat. She had body heat. She’d share, but she wanted to check for any other injuries. He had multiple lacerations on his face and upper body, but they were already healing. She pulled the comforter down further and checked him carefully. His legs were badly bruised, but they, too, would fade soon. He’d be fine. Lucky for him, the human body responded very quickly to vampire blood. In another few hours, he wouldn’t even know he’d been injured. She pulled the comforter back over him, avoiding the private area. Her eyes had touched on him there and
