Katie lightly scratched her nails down Alexis’s face. “Even more so. You made me frustrated, horny, like I wanted to fight with you and tear your clothes off at the same time. At night in bed when I’d be lying in the dark, you kept coming into my mind, and you didn’t take no for an answer.”

“I wish I’d known.” Alexis smiled. “I would have been happy to fight and tear each other’s clothes off. How is your neck now?”

“You mean the bite that I’ve always wanted from you?” Katie grinned.

She touched her fingertips to the fresh wound, covering them in blood, then painted them across Alexis’s lips. Alexis’s tongue snaked out to taste it, and her eyes glowed red. She flipped Katie onto her back.

“You know how to tease a vampire, don’t you?” Alexis said.

“Teasing you comes natural to me. You were my first crush and…” Katie hesitated. “My first love.”

Katie could see the tension in Alexis’s eyes, but instead of saying anything back, Alexis kissed her deep and hard, as if trying to let her actions tell Katie what she felt. Like touching her heart.

Katie hoped she’d be able to say it soon. She understood Alexis’s difficulties, but she did need to hear the words.

Alexis lifted Katie’s hand and put it between her breasts, over her heart, and silently looked into her eyes. Katie’s eyes were full of love and trust, which Alexis felt she didn’t deserve.

“Don’t let go,” Alexis said. She slipped her fingers into Katie’s sex and, splitting her fingers around her clit, softly, slowly stroked her while never taking her eyes off her. She hoped this would show Katie what was truly in her heart.

Katie kept her palm on Alexis’s heart and never looked away, even as her orgasm was building towards the edge.

“Come for me,” Alexis said.

She smiled as Katie went taut and struggled to keep her eyes and their hearts’ connection open. Katie cried out and pulled Alexis down to kiss her.

“Oh God, that was so…I mean, it felt like you were inside my heart.”

Alexis smiled. “Good, I only want to make you feel good.”

She went to Katie’s lips for another deep kiss, but Katie pushed her back. “Oh no, no more. You’ve killed me already.”

Alexis laughed and lay back on the bed, and Katie took her place under her arm. “You humans have no stamina.”

“How am I supposed to keep up with an immortal vampire for stamina? It’s lucky I’m so much younger than you, at least,” Katie joked.

They lay in the quiet for a minute or so, enjoying the afterglow, but there was one thing that was niggling at Alexis, and she knew it was maybe too much to ask, but she had to get it out of her head.
