March 12, 2004

Phoebe was in tears. She’d been trying to be strong and hide them, but this silence was shredding her.

Closing the door to her apartment, she felt someone standing right behind her.

“What’s wrong, agapi mou? Did the Muppet offend you? I’ll rip out his tongue if he did.”

Her breath left her with a rush as she recognized Urian’s thick accent and then realized that he’d already lit candles for them all around her room. Turning, she threw herself against him and rained kisses all over his face and neck. “I thought you were dead!”

He tsked at her. “You know me better than that. I just had to wait for it to calm a little.”

She was already peeling his clothes off his body.

Laughing, he helped her with his powers. “Take it you’re hungry?”

“Starving, and not just for blood and soul. Se hriazome!”

Urian’s eyes widened as she said “I need you” in Greek. In all this time, she’d only picked up a word here or there. Never had she ever said a whole phrase before. “You must have missed me.”

“More than you can imagine.” She sank her fangs into his neck and sent him reeling.

Urian barely made it to the couch with her. She was absolutely wild tonight. So much so that she immediately slid herself onto him and took control with wanton abandon.

She ravaged his neck and tore at his arms and chest with her nails as she rode him with fury. There was a strange kind of pleasure with the pain, while his head spun from her insistent hunger. Her emotions overrode his until he lost himself completely.

He lost all sense of time as her body milked his and all he felt was Phoebe. He didn’t care about anything or anyone else. His life began and ended with her.

Suddenly, the door slid open.

Phoebe jerked up, clutching at Urian, who was too weak to even turn his head to see who was there.

The door closed again.

Panting and weak, Urian tried to focus his gaze. “Who was that?”

“My sister,” she hissed, climbing off him to rush to the bathroom.

Urian attempted to get up and go after her, but he fell back onto the sofa. “I’m going to wait here.”

If Phoebe heard, she didn’t pause or say anything. She merely ran out of the apartment to catch up to her sister.

After a few seconds she came back in and sat down primly by his side.

“You okay?”

“That was embarrassing.”

“Let me guess? Your sister and Muppet had a little PMS meltdown over what they saw?”

“I call him Sasquatch, but yes. Yes, they did.”

He laughed. “Remind me later to kill him … and I won’t be calling him Sasquatch.”

“Why? I think it’s quite fitting.”

Urian scoffed. “Not really. That implies he’s intimidating and scary. Trust me, he’s not.”

“Maybe not to your hulking, almost-seven-foot-tall ass he isn’t, but from my vantage point, he’s terrifying.”

He snorted. “Trust me, don’t feed Muppet’s ego. If it gets any bigger, we’re going to have to put in for a larger apartment for them.
