I don’t want anyone knowing what just happened. I never wanted a tryst with a vampire.I exit the bathroom and upon returning to the dining table, it...appears no one noticed the meltdown I just had. I know vamps have good hearing, excellent senses evolved to make them the ultimate predator and all that. Hopefully, they were distracted enough to not be listening.I see Alec smile when I sit, though he doesn’t meet my eyes, for which I’m grateful. I’d love to smack that smile off his lips though.I. Her voice was slightly shaking as she said it.Klarissa stood to one side, almost out of the Circle. She held the tip of the long, flat whip against the handle as she moved her arm slowly as if striking out with the whip. She repeated that several times, adjusting her stance and her position until she felt everything was right, then she nodded at Carly.Carly said simply, “Begin,” and the Serpent’s Tongue lashed out. There was no crack of the whip, but there could have been. The long tendrils on. It was in an adultbook store video booth. I loved it, and I kept comingback for more, both giving and receiving.One day, I went into a new book store in a nearby town.Not knowing the routine here, I just watched the otherpatrons. There seemed to be a few booths that got allof the traffic, while others stayed empty. I had noidea why, but I knew I wanted to use the popular booth!A door opened, a man walked out, and I walked in. Ilocked the door and put a coin in the slot. Someone hadwritten on. I feel as if watching this is just as important part of my morning, as my coffee. So anyway, the owner wrestles with the lock, but then usually flips up the metal barrier in one swift move. After she drags inside the deliveries of milk and newspapers, she disappears inside to continue her pre-opening routine. I usually watch this whole spectacle, and by this point my coffee is most of the time luke warm, often untouched. To be honest, I don’t even like instant coffee anyway, since it doesn’t.
