I stared at him with wide eyes, my glass of blood forgotten. I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded.

“Come on!”

My mind was still whirling as I stood up from the table.She?His master was a woman?I followed Adam out the backdoor and was surprised to see a tangled, overgrown flower garden with a wrought-iron bench in the middle. I glanced at Adam, but he was walking briskly towards a small barn that I hadn’t realized was there. I hurried to catch up to him. He swung open the two large doors to reveal an old blue pickup.

“Ta-da!” He said, grinning at me.

I knew I should say something, but my mind was still stuck on the fact that his master was a woman.Why did that matter? I’d been with other guys before him. And who's to say he even slept with her? Ugh! Of course he slept with her!

“Um.” I gave him what I hoped was a normal-looking smile. “Are we going somewhere?”

“Yep.” He walked back to where I stood frozen in place. “A little dinner, a little dancing.” He wrapped his arms around me and dipped his head to kiss me.

The touch of his lips wiped all thought from my mind. I moaned and leaned into him. I could feel him smile against my lips. He lifted his head and looked down at me. “Ready?”

Fuck yes I’m ready. Take me now, right here on the ground.

“Alright.” He let go of me and headed for the truck.

Oh.

I walked over to the passenger side and climbed up into the truck. He turned the key, and the engine roared to life. It was crazy loud for a second, then it quieted.

“Sorry,” he said, laughing. “Old truck. It came with the house.”

I laughed, and he reached over and took my hand in his before pulling out of the barn.Were we really going to hold hands in the car like high school kids heading out to the movies?His thumb rubbed across the back of my hand and my heart melted.Hell yes we were. I slid a little closer to him and he shot me a smile.

He drove towards the woods and I saw a break in the trees I hadn’t noticed before. It was the old, overgrown driveway. Branches and bushes scraped the sides of the truck as we drove down the drive. After about half a mile we pulled out onto a normal dirt road.

“So, did you say dinner and dancing?” I asked.

“I did.” A smile played on his lips, but his eyes stayed on the road.

“Didn't we just have dinner?”

He glanced at me and grinned before looking back at the road. “Thatwas just an appetizer,” he said. “A little something to take the edge off.”

“O-kay.”I didn’t know what he had planned, but his hand felt wonderful around mine, and he smelled so damn good. I decided to just go with it.

With my free hand I reached out and turned on the radio. It was staticky, but I quickly found a station playing a good song. After a moment, Adam started singing along. He was horribly off key. I laughed, and he grinned. Then I started singing too.

A short while later Adam slowed and turned onto another dirt road. Although it looked more like a trail than an actual road. As we rounded a corner, I saw a small white car parked on the side of the road and my body tensed.

“It's okay,” Adam said, squeezing my hand. He pulled up behind the car and turned off the truck.

“What’s going on?” I stared at the car in front of us. Its back window was half covered with stickers.

“This is an old logging trail,” he explained, rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand. “There are a few trails that lead up the hill to different spots where people go camping.”

There were people in these woods.My heart began to pound.

“You need to learn to drink from a human,” he said.

My ears began to ring.

“Look at me.” He took my chin in his hand and gently turned my head towards him.

“I can’t,” I whispered. “I’m not ready.”
