Instantaneous was the stain of Guilt's kiss.

It was present in reminding me that I just might have, in the most intimate of ways, taken Rick's place. I Reach around the headrest and let him lick my fingers clean, hoping I could offer some meagre form of solace. I nibbled at his ear in an absent minded fashion as the thrill of previous moment retreated, ultimately defaulting me to my basic thoughts of self reprimand.

How did I ever end up here?

I yearned for Joe, With every twinge of my unsated womanhood. She would never allow me to feel true doubt for a second. All at once regret threatened to release a tempest of fortified emotions, breaking the Dams I had built myself.

"Someone doesn't look very satisfied."

Rick's voice summoned my gaze in The drivers mirror.

A temptation of rage stirred to remove the lobe of flesh I still nestled in my mouth. If at all he remembered the doubtful caterpillar I was at highschool he'd know tonight was going to be a long one. After all, it was easier for me to be with a woman.

"I just thought you knew how much I hate beating around bushes. "

"But it's so much more fun this way."

He released a smile.

I locked my arms across his broad chest. My hands finding a new comfort tangling with the fine hairs I found there. This was the only thing I could do that felt safe, since he was driving and all.

"You know I was kinda thinking more on the civilised side when y'all said indoors."

"Oh, do tell what you had a mind. "

"I don't know does Popcorn, Blankets, Movies sound normal to you? "

"Hmm." he murmured, " nope, doesn't ring a damn bell but I admit I'm not very fond of TV. I mean why watch it when we could experience one. "

Lust itself remained in the air between us, his eyes full of secrets as a swallow petrified in my throat.

He sighs and a light cloud evaporates in my face. "But I do give my word. Perhaps it can happen your way. The show shall be of your choice." I nod trying to mask the blush that his familiar kindness had brought.

My eyes flick over to Coreiss' motionless state. I stare at her peaceful rest as my unease grew at a steady rate.

"How did she go limp like that? "

Ammon followed my gaze.

I guess I had been too pumped take full mention of it. But with the taste of her out my mouth now it did seem frightful the way sleep came to her.

"Who Coreiss? She fainted."
Oh cool, it's alright, She's fainted.

Alarm swamped over my desires.

"Why has she fainted! Did I hurt her?"

I truly was too dazed in pleasure to notice at the time, but how could you not notice someone who was just bouncing on your fingers go unconscious?

"Is she passed out or asleep? Should we take her to the hospital?"

I recalled rumors once that told of men and women, who sometimes were rendered unconscious when overridden with hormonal ecstasy. But of course those egoistical morons would want to take the glory and alas they remain rumors.

"No she's done her part, and is just out of our little game for now. "

Our game?

" I'm sorry to be inconvenient, but I'm not a child, I don't need to be bribed. "

"Well we had to break it to you somehow. "

I folded my arms.

" How about you get on with it."

Ammon's laugh was uneasy. I heard it through the roaring static of the stereo as we passed a poorly connected forestry.

"Žatrell we have secrets, are you sure you're ready for knowledge like that? "

I had made my way into the passenger seat and with the livid gaze I had on him proved to be consolidation enough.

Rick sighed,

"Why don't you come and sit with me."

A prick of unease and sudden excitement ran it course through me at the very idea. I was certain, it overwhelmed my posture. But I was wearing my big girl draws tonight. And that meant none.

"She's gonna be out for a while so you might as well entertain yourself."

" Are you sure? What I have in mind is ... "

" I insist."

Was I actually getting to nail him?

I dumped myself onto his lap and began unbuttoning his shirt. Tentatively, as slowly as my courage would allow. I was electrified by the time the last button was undone.

The sides of the shirt fell away, exposing a dark rich shade of the iron and clay his chest was molded from. He seemed so different. I don't think I'll ever get how something could be so familiar yet not the same altogether.

It's such a fucked up feeling.

The van slowed to a pleasant cruise as we neared the clearing that granted full view of Liberty Island. Ammon snuck his hand up my dress and strummed my stomach.

His touch raised strange feminine energy, causing fronds of sensation to germinate in every conceivable passageway of my physique that left me vulnerable, in his arms.

He released a sigh and I could almost taste the tequila on his breath. He ran what I thought was his tongue along the skin of my neck though it couldn't have been, It was too sharp to be. But I liked it.

"Ž, Do you believe in the Supernatural?"

"Care to narrow that down? " I say a little breathy aroused by his tweaking of my nipples.

"Fairies, Vampyers? "

The snort that left my mouth was was absolutely inevitable.

"Of course perhaps my seventeen year old self."

Rick wasn't laughing.

"If I told you it was all real, and  I  believed in them, what would you think of me?"

That you're probably suffering from something .

"Ž?"

Here I explode, "Vampires Rick! Really? Do I still look like a gullible teenager, or have you just become a tool over the years? What, wait, don't tell me, I'm a Demi god right?
Is that how you plan to court me? Jesus Rick."

It was frustrating enough to be in this situation almost out of desperation.
I hated the fact anyone could think to play me like that.

"I know Žatrell it sounds crazy, if you gi..."

"Crazy? Oh okay so now you're the 'sane' one here."

"They are existent Ž, you have to be the first I Change. There just has to be a way ... "

It worried me he could keep a still face with such absurd words running off his tongue.

"Look, I know what's up. You want a threesome with the only girl you probably never laid in Highschool, and I appreciate effort, but I was just looking for fun time tonight so if honesty is too much to ask for just take me back and I'll call a cab.

We're grown ass folks here, you dont need superstition to get my attention or your point across."

I knew I hardly had his attention. He wore his famous distant expression he got before doing something wild so I had every claim to be worried.

"We are not you say?"

He said. His voice, but an eerie whisper.

"Well we'll just have to break some Rules and do some things you cannot ignore."

Rick holds my face, and gazes at me as though he was penetrating my soul.

The car doesn't stop.

I witness as he remade his identity.
Streaks of white blue stream like a flow of electricity from his dark roots.

I watch as his florescent blue irises danced,

The color swirled around his pupils in a draining manner as the mossy rich verdure I used to know with diamond flecks of hazel and blue, replaced it.

As fast as his hair was brown and eyes was full of green, it emptied retreating into him and back to the mystical iridescent blue, glowing like the fucking band on my wrist.

"One." ☝

What else is a girl to do after shit like that?

I scream.
