He watched her sleeping form shift slightly on the bed. She looked so small surrounded by what seemed to be yards upon yards of emerald green silk. The moonlite cast a soft light across her face, her gentle features serene as she slept. He stood back in the shadows, against the dark mahogany wall and lightly licked his lips as she turned in the bed. One arm rested across her stomach, the other flung carelessly above her head, her breathing soft and steady as she rested. Silently he moved across the room towards the bed, his feet seeming to glide across the floor as no sound was made. She sighed softly and turned her head as he stood at the side of the bed, and he held back a groan as the milky whiteness of her skin was exposed. Reaching out he lightly traced a vein at the side of her throat, drawing his hand back as she shifted at his touch. Her eyelids fluttered and opened, and he found her sleepily looking up at him through long dark lashes. Smiling he licked his lips again and ran his tongue slowly across his teeth, feeling the sharp points as the teeth slowly extended. She didn't move, her eyes fixed on his mouth as she saw the fangs slowly growing longer and sharper. His eyes seemed to grow darker, almost black as the desire grew stronger. She felt her heart speed up as he leaned closer, his breath hot against her cheek as he reached up slowly and cupped her face.

"Close your eyes." She felt his voice reach inside her head and command her gently. She struggled for only a moment to keep her eyes open and then allowed them to close as she felt his lips press against her neck. Both moaned softly at the touch. She reached up and held the back of his head, pressing his mouth harder to her neck, her breathing growing harder as she felt her body responding to his touch. His tongue flicked slowly across her skin as he tasted her and he allowed his teeth to touch her skin. "Nickolas…you bite me and I'll kick your ass." He jumped as her voice entered his mind and he heard her giggle out loud. Sitting back he looked down at her lying back on the bed and grinned at her. "Jessss! I can't believe you just ruined a moment you dork." He laughed as she pulled him down next to her on the bed. Jess laughed and snuggled her body up against Nick's. "I saw those fangs and you only get those when you're really horny or hungry and I wasn't taking a chance!" she laughed as Nick pouted. "I wasn't going to bite you…well, I don't think I was going to bite you…" His voice trailed off as he looked at her exposed throat again, the small veins almost glowing against her skin, his breathing getting raspier again as he thought about the warm blood just under the skin…the taste as it flowed down his throat… "Ouch! Okay you…knock it off and relax." Nick shook his head to clear the thoughts as Jess's voice broke through. He looked at her, concern shadowing his face as Jess frowned slightly. "Jessa? Are you ok?" Jess smiled and kissed him, "Yes, she's just in a mood this morning I think."

Nick ran his hand over her protruding stomach. "He's a feisty one isn't she." He commented as the baby moved under his hand. Jess groaned and shifted to a more comfortable position and rested her hand on her stomach next to Nicks, "Very feisty, like his father." Jess smiled as Nick leaned down and kissed her very large stomach and whispered, "Settle down little one, you should be happy you have a nice comfy waterbed there. Just a few more weeks." He rested his head on Jess's stomach and closed his eyes. Jess ran her fingers through his hair as they drifted off to sleep together.
