My cock thickens in my trousers again due to her nearness.
“Tell me more about your work,” I suddenly question.
“Oh, well…I’m a waitress at a top-of-the-line restaurant at a fancy ski resort here in Montana. The kind of place rich people and celebrities frequent. I enjoy working there. I’ve grown close with my coworkers, the owners and many of the repeat customers. I make a good living, with benefits and everything. The only problem is rent is crazy nowadays and only getting higher. I’m afraid I’ll have to move two hours away just to find a place to live. Which will make my job not as amazing. Right now I can simply walk to work, so moving two hours away would be devastating and might be a reason for me to have to quit.”
“You can’t purchase a domicile nearby?”
She laughs. “No. Never. That’s a fantasy that will never come true. I’d have to be a multi-millionaire to afford even a tiny condo in that town.”
“Hmm.”
“Hale, I have to say something important. I feel bad for you that you’re stuck feeling this blood frenzy towards me. There must be a few women on your own planet that you’d imagined as being your future mate. But you show up on Earth and now you've become accidentally latched on tome. Do you think I'm the one who's taking advantage of you?”
How could this amazing human think such a thing? “Sabine, there was no one else on Korn. I’m lucky to have found you. I’ve quickly come to understand your good qualities. I know you are hardworking and well liked. You were born and raised in this area and continue to stay here, which reveals a sense of loyalty, tradition and community. You’ve taken care of a stranger who isn’t the same species as yourself which reveals your compassion as you try to understand my situation. Another human would probably have been screaming and flailing. Not you.”
She shrugs. “You're not here to harm me. Since the first moment I saw you walking around the side of the cabin I felt a sense of comfort around you, like we've met before.”
“I understand, Sabine, that is how I feel. I feel the same.”
“But how can I feel that if I'm not Korn?”
“Maybe my presence has unlocked something within you? Maybe there's something primitive in our genes from millennia ago, something that links us because we’re essentially similar?”
Then suddenly her lips thin. “Youarevery, very good at seduction.” She wags a finger at me and begins to gather her knitting. “You’re sneaky, getting me to open up to you like that. Asking questions about me. But I haven’t made my mind up yet about anything between us. I’ve got to move to a kitchen chair so I can think clearly.”
I take a deep breath and force myself to do the right thing.
I am a Bloodworth. I will not take her without genuine consent.
I stand up immediately and move away. “No, don’t bother,” I tell her. “I'm going into the bedroom. You stay, Sabine. I will do my best to stay in that room this night and tomorrow. You will leave tomorrow, without saying goodbye. If I come out later this night know that I'm not myself. The blood antidote will wear away and I’ll fall into the height of the frenzy. Watch what you say and do around me because I will only get worse in my need for you. But remember, I won't hurt you.”
I go inside and shut the door.
My eyes blinkopen and I look around the darkened room, bleary-eyed.
I pat my hand on the bed beside me, find my tablet and learn that I’ve slept for hours and it’s the middle of the night within an Earth diurnal.
The storm continues outside with the whistle of wind and the vibrations of window panes.
I let out a deep groan of need. The blood frenzy is stronger than ever before. My skin is burning hot even though I haven't had additional synthetic blood. My last dosage is no longer effective. The frenzy itself is heating my blood now.
I took off my boots and jacket hours ago, now I take off my white shirt too and toss it on the floor. Off comes my belt, pants and small clothes. I’m tempted to remain naked, but I cannot go into the next room that way, it would be wrong. So I pull on a pair of soft, black sleep pants.
And all I can think of is Sabine.
I can hear her even breaths through the thin wall.
I kept my distance for hours, remained within this room and did my best to sleep the frenzy off, but to no avail. I am awake and can scent her. All I want for the rest of my life is her nearby. I can clearly see her becoming my best friend, which is what happens within Korn mating. Sabine and I can join as a new family line. I have always wanted a future mate, but I hadn't met even a pleasure mate to spend more than one night with, let alone one who caused a frenzy. None of this has happened to me. I've never been interested in tasting a pleasure mate’s blood. And then tonight, if I continue to pursue her, I will be tasting a human's blood. Mingling human and Korn for the first time.
I lick my lips.
I need her in this bed. Not out there.
If I walk into the front room, she knows I’m not myself.
Old me said that. This new me tries to figure out how I can bypass that warning because she must agree to everything before I can touch her neck. Fully agree, not be tricked into agreeing. I sense that she would acquiesce if she thought that I was all in and had no reservations.
There is my plan.
