I know, I know I have been a little MIA lately. Migraines are no fun. I wrote pt1 to "Changes" last friday for #flashfiction and today, at the very last minute I was able to pull pt2 out of my poopie brain. All i can say is, I sure hope I make sense :)
Changes pt.2
“Chemistry”
I opened my eyes at the faintest movement on my lap. My arms were still clutched around his body. I looked down at his closed eyes and then onto his torn shirt and the dried blood all over him and around us.
“Please wake up Riley. Please wake up.” I silently pleaded to him. I knew this could happen. I knew I could lose him and I still allowed him to talk me into it. What had I been thinking? “I wasn’t thinking. It was not me who did this to him. It was the stupid animal instinct that comes with this new life.” As much as I tried to convince myself I could never come to terms with it if I had killed him. “Please wake up baby.” I closed my eyes once again and a red tear flowed down my face and made its way to him.
“Mmm, that’s tasty.” His voice was hoarse but all that crossed my mind was that he had made it. My arms tightened around him, even when I heard him complain that I was hugging him too hard. “Easy, easy Mia. I told you all would be okay.” I stared into his deep purple eyes and he winked at me. The happiness that filled me was almost unbearable and it made me want him. Yes, I want him now.
“I want you too” flowed his voice inside my head. My eyes widened but the thought didn’t go much further. Before I knew it he was tearing my clothes off. His new strength was really doing it for me. He licked the still wet blood from my face and I realized, between moans, that he must be hungry. I would never forget the burning sensation on my throat when I woke up for the first time. The way it consumed me as I scavenged the forest for something to eat.
His hands kept tracing my whole body, I moved my head to the side exposing my neck and silently spoke to him, “Feed. You have to.”
His lips where still on my breast, where his hands ferociously traced their way onto my back, pushing me closer to him. “I want nothing more than you.”
“Now Riley. Feed NOW.” I was surprised at how hard my own voice sounded, but I needed him to focus. If he didn’t feed, and soon, he could turn into ashes and forever vanish. He must have seen the thoughts that crossed my mind because he didn’t fight me anymore. One of his hands cupped the back of my head while the other held my arching back closer. His teeth sunk into my skin and where there was pain the first time someone fed off me and eventually changed me, this time it was the most pleasurable sensation I had experienced. I felt my blood rush out of my body and onto his, there can’t be anything more intimate than this. I moaned and in return he sunk his teeth even deeper.
In one swift and extremely fast movement he had me pinned with my back against my desk; the coldness of the glass on my body was a welcomed change to the intense heat we were both emanating.

I looked around and shook my head at the sight of all the blood on the hardwood floor. I walked into the tiny closet in my office and pulled out one of those Swifter mops and got to cleaning while Riley picked up the broken glass table off the floor. Tip for new vampire lovers: glass is just not strong enough anymore.
“What are you going to tell them about the desk?” Riley asked as he put the large pieces on a black industrial garbage bag.
“I don’t know.. That my gigantic piece of ass cracked it won’t work, right?” I gave him a look as if seriously considering such excuse. He shook his head and laughed under his breath. I stopped mopping the floor and turned to him. “How are you feeling?” It was the question no one had asked of me when the total stranger decided to change my life, and I didn't want him to feel as I had in the beginning.
“Alright. You?” He kept working on the pieces of glass.
He can be such a guy sometimes. “I mean, with the change, with everything that comes with it.” I started cleaning the little smudge that just wouldn’t come off.
“I have been reading about them.. err, us, for quite some time. It doesn’t really feel like much has changed other than the fact that well, we will need blood instead of food. Everything else stays the same, right? How did it happen with you?” He looked down and closed his eyes. “I hate the fact that I wasn’t there to help you, to stop or to just be there through it all. I am sorry Mia.”
“Ri, it wasn’t your fault.” I didn’t want him to feel that way. I went on to explain how and where it happened. “I had gone with my brother to a pub by his dorm and well, I am older and get tired more easily now. So I decided to tough out the cold night and walk by myself back to his dorm.” He made a face. “I know, it was stupid. I had almost made it there when I saw someone on the entrance to an alley squirming in pain. I don’t know what crossed my head to make me go check on him, but I did. I asked him if he was okay but he just kept squirming until I saw his eyes, by then he had already grabbed me and taken me into the darkest part of the alley. I called for someone to help me, but he kept his hand over my mouth.” I saw the expression on his face transform and I decided those were enough details for now. “I woke up with the burning sensation you must have woken up to and remembered the guy saying if I didn’t feed I would turn into ashes. So I ran into the forest and after a while I found a deer by the creek. I was disgusted with myself for even thinking about it, but I didn’t want to die.”
“You did what you had to do babe.” He closed the distance between us and took me in his arms. The feel of his skin on my made my insides rejoice. Our chemistry was magnified with the new change. My breaths started coming quicker and I could feel his heart start racing. His hand found the back of my neck and pulled my head back, claiming my lips with his. We were soon lost in lust. Again. With great difficulty I pulled away from him.
“We are going to have to rush home; otherwise we will break every glass window and every desk in this place.”
