"Yeah, my parents are out of town this weekend." Hot damn!" thought Van. Aloud, he said, "Patty, I can give you a ride home. You should have told me, ... would have picked you up." It's okay Van, I mean it's not like we're on a date or anything." What, I can't give my friend a ride? You know I'd do anything for you Patty," he said, trying to sound earnest and sincere."Thanks Van. Let's see how the weather goes — if it looks bad I might take you up on that."Van began praying for rain.They began. “Are you sure you can still love me though? If it turns out this is something I really need,” I clarified.“Look at me,” she demanded quietly. She continued once I did. “I’m committed. I’m in this, no matter what. And besides, you’ve gone your entire life without drinking blood, so obviously it can’t be that strong of a need.”My shoulders dropped in resignation, hoping she was right. That, and hoping she didn’t ever decide to change her mind. This whole situation put things into perspective for. Before we'd even broken our connection, I discovered both of us undressed. How, I was unsure. Was it magic, or was I just lost in the moment and my mind playing tricks?She led me to the bed, laying me down upon it as she stood over me. My eyes were fixated with this beautiful woman standing before me. She knelt on the bed, slid down at my side. Taking my hand, she placed it upon her own body, offering her naked flesh to my rough touch. Her body was warm, soft and smooth. My hand glided over it,. "Okay, Lana. I'm game. Let's do it. I may weigh a little more than I used to, but you know very well that it's all muscle. That and perhaps some retained water, but I'll do it so you have some company in this effort," I told her magnanimously.Next thing I knew, she was sitting in my lap, rubbing her incredible chest against mine and kissing my neck. I smiled to myself as once again I had demonstrated how important it is for the husband to be in control of the marriage. Lana was always happy.
