Again, Katerina hadn't seen much of him for days.

She saw him in her dreams, well, "saw" was really the wrong word. She felt him in her dreams.

He was there, just like he always was, only he didn't show his face and she was far too embarrassed to try to find him.

Even if it wasn't real, she still knew what happened between the two of them in the late hours of the night in her bedroom.

Drunk or not, she had wanted it and, damn, did it feel good to be touched like that.

She hadn't told a soul what had happened, especially not the girls at work, but it was gnawing at her mind and practically begging for someone else to know.

Katerina sighed as she stood up from her desk, taking her can of Coke with her, and headed to the breakroom where she knew that everyone was gossiping about their sexual conquests.

Autumn looked to her with raised eyebrows, a curious, and simple question falling from her painted lips, "You've got something to share, don't you?"

She could feel the heat rise in her cheeks as she took a seat in one of the empty chairs. It was a little embarrassing for her to talk about things like this, but she was dying to tell someone and they did so much more all the time, so it wasn't like it was really that embarrassing.

"Yes, actually. Not much, but it's something."

A chorus of oohs rang in her ears and the smallest of smirks made its way to her lips at the reaction.

"Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes has finally been a bad girl! Do tell!" Valerie was already intimately intrigued and leaned forward, her elbows resting on the table.

Everyone was looking at her and practically falling out of their seats to hear what she had to say. Being so...conservative...had earned her a reputation of being kind of a goodie-goodie and it was a bit of a shocker to see her breaking out of that epithet.

She started carefully, "Did any of you see the guy that followed me out of the club?"

"You mean the hot one with the curly hair?"

The blush in her cheeks deepened slightly as she nodded, "Yes, him. Well, that's the guy I've been telling you about, the one I keep seeing around. Anyway, we were supposed to go to some diner, but I changed my mind and we ended up at my place..."

Practically everyone was sitting on the edge of their chairs in anticipation, which almost had her laughing.

Katerina couldn't help her grin though, "We didn't have sex, so don't get too excited. But, god I hate this term, I did let him eat me out."

The room practically erupted with cheers and a couple of the women, including Autumn and Valerie, high fived her and hugged her briefly.

"Damn, and here I was thinking that you were never going to get past first base. Proved my ass wrong."

Her cheeks were red and she was grinning, "Assumptions are bad for both you and me, Mandy."

Valerie was even more interested now that she had actually spilled, "Are you gonna fuck him?"

Katerina shrugged. She knew the answer was probably, but she didn't know how soon that probably was or if she would chicken out and change her mind the next time they did something sexual together.

"I want to, but I might end up chickening out so I can't give you a definite answer."

"I still can't believe you went that far with the guy in one night. Props to you, Kat."

Someone's phone alarm went off and signaled that their break was over. Walking out of the room, Katerina felt an odd sense of confidence. Maybe she would gift Harry her most valuable possession after all, the question was, when and would she share it with her co-workers just to rub it in their faces that she was not a goodie-goodie.

. . .

Another weekend and another tight dress. Katerina had decided to join her co-workers, well, new friends, for their weekly binge drinking and sexcapades.

Although, they all got much more sex than she did anyway. She doubted that she would even see Harry this time and, if she did, she didn't know if she would be able carry a conversation with him without remembering the things that he did to her the previous week.

However, a few songs and a few drinks into the night, he made an appearance. He sat right next to her at the bar, a wide smile on his lips as he ordered a good number of shots.

Katerina looked at him with wide eyes, "Are you going to drink those all by yourself?'

Harry shrugged, his smile stuck in place, "Depends, would you like to share them with me?"

He was looking at her like he could see her soul and she shifted slightly in her seat, a faint blush creeping its way up her cheeks.

"Depends, are you just trying to get me in bed again?"

Katerina smirked and Harry laughed, the sound muffled by the loud music and crowd of people, "I don't know if you remember, but I was taking you to a diner a few blocks away to talk and you asked me to show you what it was like to be touched."

The bartender placed a tray of shots in front of them, Katerina took one and downed it immediately. Her throat burned for a moment before it was gone and the familiar warmth spread through her body.

"I remember, just wanted to see if you did. Vodka, good choice. I've learned that Tequila is really awful."

They each picked up a glass this time and Harry raised his in a toast, "Amen to that."

Glass clinked and added a feeble sound to the boisterous atmosphere, "But, since you mentioned the other thing, just let me know if you still want to pursue that. At any time."

Katerina raised an eyebrow in his direction as she picked up another glass, "Oh, so you're not pretending not to know me somehow now?"

Harry laughed again and she strained her ears to hear it above all the noise because she liked his laugh, "That was boring, I think that I would like to get to know you now."

She threw her head back and downed the shot in moments, "Then today's your lucky day. Want to go dance?"

He swept his hand out toward the dancefloor, "By all means, lead the way."

It was weird seeing him act so...normal. If she hadn't been slightly tipsy, she would have been a little frightened because she was used to him being rude, reserved, and weird. And, if he wasn't being rude, reserved, or weird, he was being cocky, flirty, and sexual.

The dance floor was crowded, which was normal for the popular club, and Katerina pulled Harry so that he was pressed against her by the time they made it to the center.

She wasn't drunk yet, he knew it and she knew it, but it didn't stop her from pressing her backside against him and throwing her arms up so that they went around his neck and held him there as she swiveled her hips against his.

His hands were on her waist and pulling her closer to him. It was typical to dance like this in pretty much any club and he had seen her dance with strangers in the same way before, but it still took him slightly by surprise to have her dance like that on him.

Her friends were watching her from the bar and a few scattered places around the room like vultures and it almost made him laugh.

If only they knew what he really was, if she knew what he really was, they would know better to keep their eyes on him and not her.

Good thing for them that he had a no feeding in public rule and that he actually had some sort of feelings for Katerina.

However, he did have a whole lot of pent up sexual frustration, all of it because of her and the lack of sex he'd had since he'd started feeding off of her months ago.

His lips attached to her neck, careful to keep his fangs in even though the pulse of her blood in the veins beneath the skin was beyond enticing.

Katerina relaxed beneath his touch and turned her neck to the side to give him better access.

God, how he wished they were somewhere private. The thought of breaking his rule was almost overpowering if it wasn't for the fact that he knew for certain her friends were watching them closely.

He removed his lips from her skin only to bring them up to her ear, "If we don't stop soon, I'm going to have a problem. But, by all means, if you'd like to solve that problem, please continue."

There it was.

Katerina didn't even think. She wanted to give him a problem and she wanted to solve it for him.

Her hips continued moving against his to the beat of the music, but he stopped her only a few moments later.

"Your place or mine?"

She hesitated. While she wanted to see his place, she wasn't comfortable with that just yet.

"Mine."

Getting out of the crowd was easier than getting into it and it didn't take long until they were outside in the rapidly cooling air and Katerina was leading Harry to her car.

The drive was short and the walk up her driveway and up the stairs was even quicker as she pulled him along eagerly.

Harry didn't make any sort of comment at her rush because he knew that it might upset her, but he really liked this new and confident side of her, even if the alcohol had a little to do with it.

When they made it into her bedroom, she was the first to kiss him and he almost pushed her back when his fangs protruded on their own accord.

Katerina had only thought that he kissed her the way that she saw in GIFs on tumblr and whimpered lightly.

His hands went to her hips and he squeezed gently, lips breaking apart to ask her, "What do you want to do?"

Katerina was quick to close the space between them and press her lips to his again, "You."

Harry laughed lightly and she felt the vibrations clearly, her body flush against his, "Sweetheart, I know you don't want to do that just yet. Don't rush yourself and do something that you'll regret."

She hesitated now, thinking carefully about her next answer. He was right, she didn't want to have sex with him yet, but she did want to return the pleasure that he'd given her the week before.

"Can I...uhm..." Her confidence slipped as she tried to say what she wanted to do. It was just so awkward for her to say because she had never done anything like this before.

Harry waited patiently for her answer, there was no need to rush her and he could tell that her confidence had dropped because she was nervous.

Katerina cleared her thoughts and buffed up her confidence again, "I want to blow you."

He bit the inside of his cheek as he smiled, his dimples deep in his cheeks, "Do you want me to help you?"

Katerina shook her head, she was pretty confident that she knew what to do from various sources including the internet and the women at work. She could manage on her own...or at least she hoped so.

"No."

She led him to the bed and gently pushed him down so that he sat on the edge. It was clear that she wanted to take control and, while he loved to be the dominant one, he had no problem letting her be in charge.

After all, if he didn't he would end up rushing her into something that she didn't want to rush into.

Katerina slid her hands up and under his shirt, feeling his toned muscles before gently lifting up his shirt and pulling it over his head.

She kissed him gently, but he didn't mind, it was nice to not rush everything for once.

He had to help her with his jeans though because they were tighter than they should have been and got stuck around the top of his thighs.

Katerina hesitated at the sight of him in only his boxers. He was already hard from the way her hands roamed his body and the anticipation she built up with her slow movements and her eyes widened already. She hadn't even seen what it was like uncovered. Maybe she would even change her mind after she got his boxers down.

He wasn't exactly average, but he certainly wasn't small either.

She didn't say anything, most girls usually did and it actually annoyed him because obviously he knew and he didn't make himself that way, and she was oddly careful with his boxers which had him laughing lightly.

"They won't bite you or anything, sweetheart. Just fabric, I promise."

Katerina bit down on her lower lip as she looked up at him, slowly trailing the fabric down his legs, and it only made the pressure in his lower region worse.

He smiled down at her to reassure her that she was doing fine and she licked her lips, bringing her right hand up and wrapping it around his length delicately, hesitantly.

She'd seen a penis before, that wasn't the problem, the problem was the fact that he was bigger than she was expecting and that made her super nervous because she had never done anything like this before.

Harry bit his lip, "You don't have to if you changed your mind, Katerina."

Katerina smiled up at him, "No, I want to."

She knew what to do, the whole situation was just something she hadn't thought much about until she was in it. Katerina was a good girl, by any standard, but she was tired of being the good girl and she wanted to be a bad woman.

It was gross, but she spit on her hand and slowly moved it up and down. His lip was still caught between his teeth and his breathing picked up.

Katerina was nervous to put him in her mouth because of how big he was, so she moved her hand faster, slowing around the tip and running her thumb over his slit. Above her, Harry released his lower lip only to let out a low groan. For someone who wasn't experienced in this area at all, she was certainly good at it.

Katerina gathered her courage again and wrapped her lips around his tip, sucking lightly as her hand continued its motion. Harry pulled back her hair so that it wouldn't get in her way, a gentle moan passing his lips as she increased the pressure and took more of him in.

His hips were threatening to buck when she started to use more of her tongue, her lips hot and tight around him, and her hand moving faster and gripping him with the perfect amount of friction.

Harry's fingers gripped her hair tighter as she bobbed her head, low moans escaping his parted lips, "Are you...are you sure that you haven't done this before?"

Katerina lifted her eyes to meet his and hummed, she watched happily as his eyes snapped shut and his teeth sank into his lower lip.

His chest was rising and falling rapidly and Katerina felt sexy as hell, being able to do such a thing, especially to someone like him.

Her lips met her hand when she couldn't take him any farther, her free hand splayed out against his hip. Katerina focused on him a bit more and decided to push herself and try to take in more of him.

She gagged and her eyes watered as his tip hit the back of her throat, but she didn't stop. His thighs started to shake slightly and Katerina hummed. Harry's grip tightened a breathy "Fuck" leaving his lips at the action.

"Katerina..."

He didn't have to spell it out for her and she sucked him a bit harder. Their eyes met again only for Harry to shut his and loll his head back with a loud moan.

Katerina thought the taste awful, but she swallowed anyway before pulling back. She tried to keep her lips tight in an attempt to dry him off from her spit, but it didn't really work.

Harry didn't care that he was still a mess with her spit and watched her as she wiped her mouth only to grin after she'd wiped the excess spit away.

She felt giddy as she asked, "Was I good?"

Harry laughed, slightly out of breath, "Good doesn't cover it. How'd you learn to do that?"

Katerina shrugged, blood rushed to her cheeks, "Just because I look like a good girl doesn't mean that I am. The internet is full of things if you know how to find them."

She noticed his smile for the first time, how white his teeth were, how his dimples caved into his cheeks, and how it fit him so well that she wanted to just give in to him right then and there. The man was hot, but his smile is what made him irresistible.

"You're something else, Katerina."
