CHAPTER 10
“Get away from her!” The door slammed open as Nero all but flew into the room, drawn by the smell of her blood - as intoxicating as any other smell he’d found on her. He snarled at the other vampire, grabbing him by the throat and squeezing until the black ooze they called their blood seeped between his fingers and the sinew of his muscles draped over his fingers like decorations. He squeezed until there was nothing left to grab and the corpse dropped to the floor in a heap of rotting flesh.
The room stank but Quill didn’t notice. Her eyes wide and horrified followed Nero as he got closer to her. His eyes were the same dark red from the last time he’d lost control, but his teeth were fully extended in the excitement of his kill. And from the scent of her blood.
She tried to shrink back, but her back ached. The small movement was enough for him to see he was scaring her and immediately he stood, composing himself. He called for Clovis who appeared long enough to remove the body before he bent down and scooped her up like a helpless babe, bringing her over to the cushions.
“What happened?”
What was she supposed to say? Admit her weakness or worse: admit her snooping? He’d smell her down there eventually, that is if he ever went down there, but neither option was all that appealing.
The second vampire that had passed her going downstairs reappeared with a man on his arm, dreamily clinging to him and smiling like a goof. He brought him over to Nero and dropped him on the cushions. He barely spared her a second glance as he leaned down and brought his mouth to the man’s neck.
There was a soft gurgle before the man moaned in pleasure, his hand sliding up Nero’s neck and gripping his hair with a firm tug. Nero replied with a moan of his own. Even in her dizzy state Quill felt the stirrings of lust alongside the disgust she felt at the blatant display of cannibalism.
“Do you mind?” She tried to keep her tone as sharp as usual, but the ache through her body and the exhaustion she felt from the memories made her sound drowsier than anything.
“You’re the one who helped herself into a room I told her to stay away from. You wanted to see what was in here, now see it.” The man’s hands roamed more freely now, clearly enjoying every second of his debauchery. How could someone be so happy about being used like a decanter?
But more shocking still was when the man grabbed her hand and placed it against Nero, indicating clearly the arousal he felt from the feed. She jerked her hand away and glared at him before shoving Nero away from her.
He chuckled as he pulled away with a pop, turning to look at her with glassy eyes and a chin soaked with red.
“Remove him.” He spoke to the vampire still lingering in the room who flitted forward as commanded.
