“I have a question for you.” She smiled at York and was willing to answer anything that he wanted. “Do you have fangs yet? I know when we make love you wait for me to cut myself, but have you tried to think about biting me and having your teeth shift?”

“What do I do? So you know, the thought of being able to bite you has me wet.” His nostrils flared, and she had to adjust herself; she was getting wetter by the minute. He told her how to think about biting him, and they should appear. She closed her eyes and imagined herself trying to bite him. “I can feel them. They’re very sharp, aren’t they? I want to leave my mark on your skin too.”

“Christ woman, the things you say.” He jerked her to him and Rose laughed. “Come here, show them to me. Then I’m going to take you upstairs and ravage you while you feed from me.”

Instead of showing him, she ran them over his pulse. She could feel them elongating, and she loved the feel of them. Nipping at his flesh had him rocking his cock into her, and when she thought that he’d had enough teasing, she bit down hard on his neck.

While she knew that she’d draw blood, she’d drank from him before; she’d never thought of making the wound herself. As she drank from him, suckling his blood from the wound that she’d put to him, all she could think about was him taking her to bed. Just as she closed the wounds when he told her to, York put his shoulder into her belly and carried her up the stairs on his shoulder. Dropping her on the bed, she bounced once before he fell atop her.

He wasted no time in tearing her clothing from her. Being naked while he was dressed was the most erotic thing that she’d done. As soon as she had his shirt off, it too being torn to shreds, she bit him again and again while he fumbled with his pants. She wanted him and couldn’t wait to feel his cock deep inside of her. Without a word to her, he slammed his cock deep into her pussy and fucked her hard.

“Bite my wrist.” She nodded and moved his arm to her mouth. “Christ, you’ve not even bitten me there, and I can feel myself nearly coming. Bite me, Rose, my love, and give me what I want.”

She did just what he wanted, and he came hard. She would swear forever that she felt his cum inside of her. When she was ready to come herself, she nearly came up off the bed when he licked the wound at her throat. That was all it took for her to scream around his wrist and come hard enough that she blacked out for several seconds.

He was still fucking her when she woke. The mark at her throat felt like it was burning, and she couldn’t believe it when he licked the mark, and she came again. It took so very little for her to come with him that she was almost ashamed. But he made her feel like it was the most natural thing in the world to come like she was. Screaming out his name and holding him tightly.

She sealed the bite marks she’d made on his chest and laid back on the bed. He was still fucking her, and she had another small climax when he told her to come. Her body was worn out, and she didn’t think she had it in her to come again. Just as she was ready to beg him to stop, she was just too worn out; she came again, screaming out his name and begging him to stop too.

Waking up, she looked around the room. The bed was a mess, and there was blood all over the sheets. He’d told her the last time that this happened that all they had to do was hang them out in the sunlight and they’d be clean. She didn’t have the energy to do that today, so laid there while he took a shower. She would have joined him, but she seriously could barely move; she was so relaxed.

“If we have sex like that too often, I’m going to be testing our immortality.” She grinned at him and told him that she needed a two-week nap. “I could join you in that, but we have to get ready to go back to my mom’s house for dinner again. I almost forgot.”

She did as well and went to her closet. Until she was able to get out and about, she was quickly running out of clothing. Telling him that, he came up behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist. She could stand like this forever but knew they had to get going.

“I’ll make it up to you soon. Soon you’ll have so many clothes to change into that you’ll have a hard time wondering what to wear. I fear your panties won’t last that long no matter how many you have. It makes me harder just being able to tear them from you. Sometime soon I’m going to eat you, and that will make us both have a good time.” Rose shivered. “I can see that you like that. Go take your shower before I make us late. You know as well as I do that mother will know, but I don’t want my brothers speculating on what’s going on between us.”

“I’m sure they have an idea.” She went to take her shower and realized just how much she was going to enjoy his next treatment of her body. After washing her hair and body, she was really ready for that nap. Who knew that sex could be so exhausting? Smiling, she went to her closet again and pulled out the first thing she touched. It was a spring dress that she’d gotten last year in the fall and had never gotten to wear it. Today seemed the perfect day.

The dinner was fun. His mother had made a cheeseburger and fries while the others drank wine. She didn’t know if it was really wine or not, but didn’t ask. They were kind to her, and that’s all she cared about. It was Yardley who explained to her that they could drink wine but not eat all the time. He said that he noticed that her appetite had gone down as well.

“Do you know why?” His cheeks turned a bright red, and she felt her own face heat up. “Oh. I never thought of that. Thank you for your help. I thought that I was burning more energy and didn’t know why I wasn’t needing more calories.”

“You’ll need to be careful of the sun. You might not be a vampire yet, but you have the traits of one. It won’t burn you up, but you might be more sensitive to it from now on.” She asked Gib if it was the same reason. “Yes, I would imagine that you’ll find out you can dress yourself as well. Just imagine something that you’d like to have on and see if you can wear it. I can do it too. All of us can because we’re so old. But you sleeping with York, you might get some of his traits as well.”

“Let me see.” She thought of herself wearing a nice green summery dress, and it was on her. “Does it work for shoes as well? Oh, this is brilliant. I will never run out of clothing again.”

“You’ll still need to have gowns to wear with a few things in your closet. We have to make ourselves look good when there are others in the house.” Rose said that she could understand that. “Good. The more you can make yourself normal, the better we’ll all be. Most people guess that we’re not human, but we don’t advertise the fact that we’re vampires. It could cause us a lot of trouble.”

“My brother is going to be around. He and I don’t get along all that well, but he should never know that you’re vampires. I don’t know what he’d do, but he would cause trouble simply because he can.” They all said they’d be careful around him. “My dad is too, but he won’t be around for a while. He’d gotten money off me already this month. Phillip doesn’t believe that I’m good enough to be married into this family.”

She told them what had happened this afternoon and even told them that the wedding tomorrow was going to be perfect because he’d not be able to come to it. She said that Phillip would go if he didn’t have to work, but she didn’t think he’d call off to go.

“He’s forever without money. I don’t know what he does with it, and I usually bail him out.” York mentioned how she was going to give him two hundred dollars to bail him out this last time. “I sold the garage. And while I did make a great deal of money on that, I’m not planning on working for a while yet. I want to find myself.”

“Good for you. You do what you want.” York told his mom that’s what he’d been saying too. “The boys have been everything. They had to find their way in life as well. York has a great job that will supply you with money forever, so you take advantage of that.”

“I won’t do too much at first. I have a lot of things that I want to do now.” She looked around the table. “I really want to get to know all of you and see what I can do to help you. The only thing I ask is, don’t be mad at me without telling me what I’ve done to upset you. I would really like to have you as friends.”

“We’re family.” York thanked his brother Radford and then told them all that he loved them. It made her feel so good that they weren’t ashamed to say that to one another that she couldn’t remember the last time she’d said that to her own brother. “And tomorrow we’ll all be happy to welcome you to the family as York’s wife.”

“I can’t wait either.” They finished their talks in the living room. The house wasn’t nearly big enough for the eight of them, but they were all close, and it didn’t seem to matter to them. She might suggest they have dinners like this one at their home because it had been the family home at one time and they might like to go back there. They’d have plenty of room to spread out if they wanted.

After going back home, all she wanted to do was take a nap. Or go to bed now. She’d been making love with York every night, and she was exhausted. Not that she wouldn’t make love with him again if he touched her, but tonight, she just wanted to sleep.

“I’m tired too.” She asked York if he was reading her mind again. She still didn’t know how she felt about that but wasn’t mad that he did it. “No, you just look like you could sleep for a couple of days, and we need to get up early to be at the courthouse by nine. You still want to marry me, don’t you?”

“Yes, of course I do.” She thought of getting married to York all the time, and she couldn’t wait to say her I do’s. “Things will be legal between us instead of us having paperwork filled out with me being Rose Malone. I so love the sound of that.” He said that he did as well.
