Several large bags crashed on the table.

Startled, Leah jerked her head up with a gasp.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I stopped by the commissary and picked up a few more candy bars and stuff,” Derek said.

"A few?" Leah asked, her eyebrows reached for her hairline as one of the bags tipped over and every kind of candy bar imaginable slid across the table.

"I, uh, well I wasn't sure what kind you might like. So I grabbed a couple of empty bags and filled them," he said with a sheepish grin on his face. "Then I realized you might not like chocolate, so I filled another sack with caramels, hard candy, and gum."

She rubbed the center of her chest as it tightened with emotion; no one had ever given her anything.

His smile slipped as her silence grew; he surveyed the mound of bags and grimaced.

Honestly, she didn't know what to say to him. At this point, anything would make her burst into tears. She swallowed the lump in her throat, fighting an urge she couldn't even name. She blinked a couple of times before answering, but it didn't help the husky tone of her voice. "Thanks, thanks a lot. It was really thoughtful of you."

He frowned and dropped into a crouch beside her chair. "Hey, what's wrong? I'm sure those can't be tears, not from my rough and tough vampire cabin mate." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "I'll let you in on a secret, she's really scary."

She chuckled, thankful for his teasing voice; she totally ignored the true concern she heard laced through his words. She opened her mouth, revealing lengthened fangs and gave a half-hearted hiss, which was rather hard to do with a smile curling her lips. His next words nearly had her lunging at his throat.

He leaned closer and she smelled his hot and spicy aroma mingling with the sweet scent of the candy. "If you need a bite, I'm more than willing to volunteer," he said seriously, angling his jugular within inches of her watering mouth.

The beat of her heart throbbed in tempo with his pulsing vein. The hot liquid gushing through his body called to her as blood never had in the past. Her fangs ached with the desire to plunge into his neck, drinking his blood, savoring every pull of life giving fluid.

She eased forward and she heard his heart race. She distantly wondered if it was in dread or anticipation. She shivered as her vampire instincts tried to smash her common sense into the ground. She inched closer to his neck and watched as goose bumps popped up across his tanned skin.

She sucked in a deep breath, trying to pull her crumbling ethics back to together. She didn't bite people, not ever. What was wrong with her? She'd never fought such a desire to drink from someone. It was like Derek punched buttons she didn't know she had.

He seemed to sense her internal fight. "You've never actually bitten anyone have you?"

She gulped and shook her head.
