Passion After Dark by J.a Melville

bedroom window.”
    “ How is it that a vampire can have sex Dominick? Let’s face it, the man gets an erection from blood flow to his cock and your heart doesn’t beat, right?” She raised an eyebrow looking to him for confirmation and he nodded. “So how does a vampire get an erection?”
    “ It’s all to do with the blood cara. It’s life for you and for vampires. Take it away and we both die. Mine is just a slower, wasting away kind of death. Without regular blood to feed off I lose my basic functions. I can’t walk, talk, eat and I can’t have sex. I would simply slowly and painfully die the death that there is no coming back from and I would be nothing more than a withered dried out shell of a body.”
    “ Do you kill people to feed from them?” She asked and Dominick knew her question and his answer was an important one.
    “ Yes cara, when I first was turned I did but now I have control and know how much of a person’s life force I can take without doing them harm. Did I not demonstrate that with you?”
    He watched her face as she digested what he was saying. He hoped she wouldn‘t be repulsed by what he had confessed to her but he wasn’t going to lie. Of course when Fabian had first sired him he’d been unable to control his thirst for the blood and had gone too far, killing some people. Slowly he’d learned to control it and Fabian had helped him to learn how far he could go, just how much he could take from a person and his sire had cleaned up the mess he’d left behind, covering their tracks so no one would come looking for them. He knew that was why Fabian was so particular about no one knowing what they were, not doing anything to draw attention to themselves as it was the safest way to live. Dominick had had no problem complying with Fabian’s rules until now, until he’d seen Allie for the first time and suddenly all that he had done over the years to protect himself and those he cared about was put in jeopardy by his overwhelming need for her. His realisation that she was the one who was meant to be with him for all eternity.
    “ Shall we get going now cara if you still trust me to be in your home with you?”
    His relief was tangible when she smiled and nodded at him.
    “Yes Dominick, I trust you. Rightly or wrongly, I do. Come on then.” She turned and unlocked her car and he closed her door before heading to his own car and climbing into the low slung vehicle.
    As Allie pulled out of the car park in her red BMW and merged into the traffic outside, he followed her, keeping her car in his sights although it wouldn’t have mattered if he’d lost track of her as he already knew where she lived and as they drove and his mind replayed their time on the bonnet of her car, his excitement grew, his cock hardened and he wanted nothing more to arrive at her home, take her to her room and fuck her every way possible until they were both exhausted. As he thought of that he grinned. His bella donna had no idea what the stamina of a vampire was like, but she’d find out, if not tonight then soon, but one thing was for sure, she would eventually find out just how long and how many ways he could and he would fuck her.
    Allegra .
    I shook the entire drive back to my home with a mixture of both fear and excitement at the prospect of having Dominick there. I still couldn’t believe that he’d found me, that he hadn’t forgotten me and wanted me every bit as much as I wanted him.
    Finding out that the man who had made such an impression on me that night at the club was a vampire had shaken me up more than I ’d revealed to him. It was unbelievable that he even existed that he was real and I might have questioned the whole thing if I didn’t have the two puncture marks in my neck from his fangs. I’d seen the blood on his lips, my blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. It was real, he was real, there was no way I could deny that.
    When I finally pulled into the driveway of my home I saw
