Letting his hand go, I smile. “Thanks for the drink.”

“It’s no problem. Thank you for the company.”

“So, you live out here?”

He grins, showing off nice teeth. He has a slight gap in the two front teeth. “Did you see the big rig parked out in the parking lot?”

I nod.

“That’s mine. I’m just passing through.”

Even better.

“Where are you from?” I question, leaning back in my seat. His gaze drops briefly to my c-cup tits before glancing back up at my eyes.

It doesn’t take much to lull a human male into my trap. Half of the time I don’t even need compulsion to get them to follow me.

He chuckles. “North Carolina. Born and raised.”

“Never been,” I lie.

Jamieson and I go back and forth with small talk for another few minutes. Each time I ask a question; he relaxes a little more.He thinks he’s just growing more comfortable with me; but it’s actually my compulsion at work.

Finally, once I feel I have him right where I want him, I make my move.

Placing my hand on top of his on the table, I lock my gaze with his.

“Come outside with me,” I say, barely above a whisper. But his ears didn’t need to hear me. I was speaking to his thoughts.

Without a reply, Jamieson stands to his feet. I smile as I slide out of the booth. He locks his hands in mine as we walk hand in hand outside.

“To the left.”I push inside his head as we step out of the doors. He follows my silent command.

Walking past my car, I dip my chin to Marley. I lead Jamieson around the back of the building where the trashcans are. Once we find a secluded spot, I gently push him back against the wall.

“You’re so beautiful,” he says breathlessly.

“Yes,” I say, leaning into him. His hands land on my hips, pulling me into his body. If I were any other vampire, this would be the moment I’d get excited. However, I haven’t felt the thrill of arousal in years. Despite Jamieson being attractive, my body finds no pleasure in him.

“Relax for me,” I whisper against his lips. His body immediately responds. “Now close your eyes.”

His eyes shut. I wave my sister over. Jamieson was so caught in my web, he didn’t even notice Marley step out of the car and follow us.

Marley comes up beside me.

“Oh, he’s cute.” she says.

Rolling my eyes, I turn to her. “Will you feed. It doesn’t matter how he looks.”

I step back, trading places with Marley. I watch as she sinks her fangs into Jamieson’s neck. She hums as she eats. Jamiesonsighs with happiness. Being fed on by a vampire is like getting high. It’s a euphoric feeling.

In the morning, Jamieson will awake with a dry mouth and a rush of dopamine. He won’t have a memory of anything other than buying me a drink. He has no fear of being turned. It requires much more to turn a human into a vampire than a simple bite.

Once Marley has her fill of blood, she releases Jamieson and takes a step back. I can already see the change in her. Her skin looks brighter, and the bags under her eyes are gone.

“Better?” I ask.

She licks the little blood staining her lips away. “So much better.”
