I woke up with a start, and gasped, clutching my stomach.

I feel like I'm starving to death... The thought crossed my mind as I evaluated my surroundings with squinted eyes. I was still in the dimly lit room deep underground, and as I turned my head, I saw the form of a person in the shadows in the corner of the room. My mouth began to water and I suddenly became ravenous as they emerged from the darkness.

"Did you sleep well?" Tatsuya's soft voice met my ears as he walked towards me.

I leaned toward him involuntarily, a desperate look in my eyes as I whispered, "I-I'm starved..."

His eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes flickered as he asked, "What would you like?"

I couldn't believe my ears as I responded instantly, "Blood."

"You're soo forward," his lips upturned as he moved closer and sat on the bed near me. He tilted his head as he looked at me, then tugged at his shirt, pulling it down to reveal his soft skin and collar bone.

"Here. Don't become addicted-," he said this with a bit of amusement in his voice, but I cut him off when I practically launched myself at his throat and viciously bit down into his vulnerable skin. I heard him chuckle as I sunk my teeth into him and gulped down what I could, the euphoric feeling I had felt before washing over me.

I couldn't get enough. I wrapped my arms firmly around Tatsuya, as if to make sure he wouldn't leave me. His ice cold skin sent shivers through me but I was soo starved, I didn't care. His silky hair draped around us as I continued to ravenously consume his blood.

After a moment of this, he reached up to untangle himself from my grasp and forcefully unattached my teeth from his throat.

"Don't drain me completely," his amused voice broke the silence as I attempted to regain my composure.

In the back recesses of my mind I felt like there was something very important I needed to remember, but at this moment all I could do was concentrate on Tatsuya. I focused on his neck, where crude bite marks were marring his pristine, almost bleach white skin, and then I turned my gaze upward to look at his slightly flushed face. He returned my gaze, his eyes guarded and I couldn't quite read his expression.

He averted his gaze and put a bit of distance between us as he spoke, "I am keeping you here to lure Ryuu out of hiding. He won't be able to abandon you for long with that mark."

As he spit out Ryuu's name in disgust, I looked at him and responded, "I want to stay here."

His lips curved upward and he looked like he almost pitied me. "Is that how you really feel?"

The feeling of euphoria mixed with the desire to please him flowed through me as I answered him without hesitation, "Yes."

I was absolutely infatuated and I couldn't get enough.
