Her lips quirked.“Do you have a chart?”
He shrugged.“I don’t do illusions.”
“Okay, I am guessing here.”She waved her hand, and a flat image of Mao, in demon form, stood in a kimono.
He smiled.“Great.So if you need blood fast, the wrists are good.The interior, not the exterior.”He went over a number of other places and then mentioned that, “There are a few places that are good for arousal, but that basically depends on how you do it.”
She blushed.“Um, how can I not do it?”
“No-nonsense movements.No flirty gazes or licking lips.”
“I do that when I am nervous or when my teeth come down.”
He smiled.“Why don’t we sit down, you can bite my wrist, and we can call that a solid start.”
She nodded nervously and toed off her shoes before they walked inside.
He smiled and sat on a cushion on the floor and said, “It will be easier logistically if you sit on my lap.”
She blushed and nodded, letting him settle her before he lifted his forearm to her mouth, and she felt the heat of his skin and the pulse beneath it.Her teeth came down, and she leaned forward and bit, her hands coming up to hold him.Blood cascaded into her mouth, and her body got excited.Meeda focused on breathing evenly, calculated two ounces, and stopped.
Her body was surging with energy, and she swallowed and licked her lips.
“You didn’t take much.”
She said softly.“I took what was polite.”
He stroked her cheek softly.“You aren’t still hungry?”
“Howling, but I don’t want to leave you a desiccated corpse, so...”She paused.“Safe word?”
He grinned.“Squid.”
She nodded and looked at his arm.The punctures were gone.“So you heal fast?”
“Very fast.”
“Can I bite this arm again?”
“Please.Take what you need.”
She nodded and said, “Thank you.”
She bit again and drank rapidly.She felt him stroking her hair and raised a finger.He laughed and continued rubbing her back.
Half an hour later, she let him go and swayed slightly.He caught her against him as his arm healed again.“There you go.I...don’t know your name.”
“Meeda.”
“What do you do for a living, Meeda?”
“Vice president, Akorin Swimwear.”
“Who is the president?”
“My half-sister, Mia.”
“The woman you were with?”
