After what felt like an eternity but also not long enough, Troy retracts his fangs from my neck. He laps at the small wounds with his tongue, sending further shivers down my spine. He licks his lips as he leans back with satisfaction, all the tension from before completely gone from his body. My own body is still floating on a high, my mind still trying to comprehend what just happened. That was the most exhilarating thing I have ever experienced! I lean forward and kiss Troy, the metallic taste of my blood still lingering in his mouth. Our kiss is gentle, the hunger from before having been satisfied. I rest my head on his shoulder as we enjoy the last heat from the bath. “Are you okay?” Asks Troy, his voice the gentlest I have ever heard it. “I’m more than okay. How do you feel?”
