Trust me, ifIbit you, you’d know. I just nicked you, you can relax.”

I can see frustration in her eyes brewing like a storm.

“I can’t go out there like this!”

“Why? Is it part of your contract that you remain a pure, innocent maiden? I’m guessing it’s a bit too late for that.”

“Fix it, asshole,” she seethes through clenched teeth. “You wanna start a feeding frenzy?!”

I like the attitude, but I can’t tell if it stems from shame or paranoia. Slowly, I drag my tongue across my fang until I taste blood. I grasp her by the waist and pull her toward me, relishing the way her breath catches in her chest.

“You need to learn to watch your mouth. You know I kill people for speaking to me like that…”

“I–”

I dip my head and lap at the wound. It knits in an instant, and I gently suck on her skin, forcing a light groan to spill from her lips. I pull back and stare at her.

“Happy now?”

“Yes,” she chokes.

“Good girl.”

A knock at the door startles her and I spot another bartender staring at the two of us with wide eyes, her mouth dropped open. She has long blonde hair and wide set blue eyes that look perpetually shocked. She’s a petite little thing with spindly limbs, dressed in a pair of denim shorts, thigh-high boots, and a red tube top that just barely covers her tits.

Sofie’s heart thumps violently against me and I release her, watching as she tries to regain her balance. I try to bite back a smile, but it’s nearly impossible. There are deep red splotches on her chest and I can smell her fear even from a foot away.

“H– hey, Kirby,” she mutters. “I was just–”

“Ruby’s looking for you. I assume you went looking for a broom and fell on something hard?” Sofie rubs the back of her neck and Kirby chuckles. “It’s cool, Sof, I’ll tell her you’re fine.”

The door shuts, and Sofie sighs as I straighten my suit.

“Are you working tomorrow?”

She nods.

“The feeding room.”

“Perfect. I’ll be here the second the doors open. We can do this right.”

She says nothing, grabbing a broom as I head for the door.

I don’t even need a response. I know she’s hooked on me now. The tricky thing, though, is I might have fallen even harder.

SOFIE

Nox Nightclub

Istandinthecloset clutching the broom so hard I feel like the handle is going to snap. His cum drips down my thighs and I quickly grab a cloth from the shelf, wiping it up and tossing it into the trash. In the year that we’ve been running this bar, notoncehave I dragged a vampire into a supply closet and begged them to fuck me.

Another sharp knock rips me from my little spiral.

“I said I was coming!” I bark.

Ruby leans up against the door, looking me up and down as a playful smirk spreads across her face.

“I think you already did.”
