Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shadowstep held a torch, walking through the underground caverns of the manor. Two robed figures followed closely behind, the group finally arriving inside a vast chamber. Runes lined the walls and floors and a diamond-shaped box remained suspended high on a pedestal at the center of the room. Shadowstep drew out a green glowing crystal, tossing it to the ground and watching it resonate a high-pitched frequency.

"This should bring my 'demon' problem to fruition.", Shadowstep turned and the robed figures followed, the three leaving the underground tunnels of the manor and returning to the surface.

Dez closed her eyes, took a deep breath and let it out again, "A blood exchange." With her eyes still closed she waited for him to freak out and start yelling at her that she was insane but he didn't. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him and he was just looking at her. "Are you ok?" Dez asked, "I'm only talking about a small exchange of blood and then you will be able to call on me whenever you need to." She was quiet again, letting him process that bit of info. Would he agree? she wondered, he doesn't know how much power he will end up having over me. Can I trust him as much as I think I can?

"I'm giving you this offer because I like you and I feel like I can trust you. You have had my back in every battle and have come to my aide without regard to your own safety. If we do this there is something else you should know."

"What's that?" Ryuska said.

"I will know exactly where you are every second, every moment of every day. There will be no place you can go where I can not find you." she paused and looked at him "but then the same will apply for me as well and that is why I am hoping I can trust you as much as I feel I can. You will know where I am at every moment and will be able to call to me telepathically whenever you want or need to, we will have to trust each other. I also do not know what other affects my vampiric blood will have on you since you are not completely human. You may become a bit sensitive to sunlight or your senses may be heightened, I'm not sure. I do not think you will have a craving for human blood but there are risks. Do you understand? Are you willing to accept the terms and the risks?"

Destiny stood up and held out her hand to him, "Come with me." she said.
Ryuska put down the sundae and stood up, took Destiny's hand and let her lead him to a sofa across the room. He seemed a bit nervous.
"Don't worry", Destiny said, "it won't hurt at all. It's actually quite pleasurable." She sat him down on the sofa and sat on his lap straddling him as she had done earlier with the chair. She looked into his eyes and as he looked into hers, he could see them change color from green to an icy blue. "You're shaking" Dez said, "don't worry I'm not going to hurt you, just relax." She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips in an attempt to relax him.

Destiny parted his lips with her tongue and kissed him slow and sensually as he held her close. She broke the kiss briefly to remove his shirt and whisper in his ear, "Are you ready?"

Destiny trailed kisses down his neck toward his shoulder and ran her tongue slowly over his pulse. It was beating wildly which is just the way she liked it. With her arms around him, she sank her fangs into his flesh slowly and began to drink from him. She savored his taste, sweet but with a little hint of fire. He's intoxicating she thought, and I'm only supposed to take just enough for an exchange.

Destiny knew if she didn't stop she would drain him completely and she wouldn't do that. Mmmmm, but he tastes so damn delicious, she thought. Reluctantly she removed her mouth from his neck and licked the puncture wounds to heal them. In seconds they disappeared as though she had never bitten him. "Sorry, I lost my head for a moment. Your blood is so intoxicating! I've never tasted anything like it before, mmmmm and the arousing pleasure" she said softly, "it's not over."
Slowly she removed her own top, revealing a black lace bra and soft, luscious breasts. She could tell he was aroused as well. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest and she picked up the scent of his pheromones with her heightened sense of smell. She kissed him again only deeper and with a burning passion so intense she felt as if she were drunk.
