Trembling with every stroke through her wavy hair, Casey rested her arms on the sides of the chair aled into its plush cushion. While she listeo Sylvie expin the parallels to her mother, Casey held the drug-ced gss in her hand. “Now I don’t know if I should drink this.” Casey tapped her long fingernail on the heavy gss, sending small crystalline echoes through the room like a soft bell. “I mean, yeah…I like to have a good time, that was evident when you met me.” Feeling her hair stiffen as the blood soaked into the strands, Casey blinked and slightly tilted her head to Sylvie’s displeasure. “Sorry, babe.” Safe and sound, Casey pushed the worry of the versation to the back of her mind and took a heavy gulp from the drugged vitality and its effect took hold even as she tasted the refreshment. “Oh…oh…ohhh…” Casey began to slink and roll from her hips to her hands. “Tis, tits, this…oh boy. Fuck..I’ve lost spank..speech.” She giggled and waved her arms slowly so they felt like little ribbons floating in the air. “Sylvie, you got to try this, I hear and see musi my head. I want to put on some funky blues and sther myself over anything I touch.” Casey closed her eyes and slowed her ption of her drink. “Has there ever been a balloon-headed vampire?” She snickered. “’t, um…shhhhh.”

  “You just called me Sylvie.” The elder vampire ented with a light snicker. “Sweetheart, if you want to clear the feeling away, I give you normal blood and you simply dedicate it to…” Sylvie giggled as she watched Casey slow dang in the chair and waving her hand in bliss. “I’ll take that as a no.” Sylvie finished painting Casey’s hair with blood and lovingly murmured, “The wet look, but with blood. Damn you look great.” Sylvie fttened Casey’s natural curls so that her hair draped its length over her shoulders. “I bet you kly how sexy you are looking like this.” Sylvie put the bowl ba the table and dipped her finger into the fountain and drank the drops. "You’re a natural being lovely and coy...tell me, how many others have been with your bare ass in a shower? Because I'm dreaming about it."

  Casey looked down at her straight maroon hair. “Oh, I like this look. I smell your shampoo and the heated iron at the same time.” She swung her feet from the chair and moved even more provocatively for her partner and leaned back se chest was the most promi part of her body that moved as she did. “Do you really want a number?” She closed her eyes and mumbled a few bars of a luscious song and held out her hands. “Would you prefer Taini? Damn, I don’t care right now. I’ll call you whatever…I just feel that good.” Finally standing, Casey began to slowly spin and curled her fingers at Sylvie. “Don’t leave me here without a dance partner.” She giggled, “Or shower partner.”

  “Why Miss Rivers, I do believe that you are fucked up.” Sylvie padded softly across the marble floor and ed her arm around Casey and held her part the base of her spine, moving slowly with her. Sylvie sighed and pced Casey’s hand on her shoulder. “Keep your frame, dear.” She ughed and took the lead in their little dance. “Why don’t you want to tell me, darrrr-ling?” Sylvie teased and stopped to give Casey more of her drug-infused cocktail. “No, we won’t waste this.” Sylvie waited until Casey basically pouhe remainder of the drink, thehe gss down openly ughing. “I better get my…mmm, licks in now before you fall over.”

  Time and space meant little to nothing to Casey while the two danced around the room. Images of her past gently slipped past her fuzzy vision and every time she stopped internally swimming, she saw Sylvie’s gentle moon-touched eyes peering back at her. “Finally.” Casey mindlessly blurted and pstered her hands on Sylvie’s cheeks. “I want you to hear what’s eg in my head, baby.” Casey began singing the song Halo by Beyoncé.

  “…I found a way to let you inBut I never really had a doubtStanding in the light of your haloI got my angel nowIt's like I've been awakenedEvery rule I had you breakin'It's the risk that I'm takin'I ain't never gonna shut you outEverywhere I'm looking nowI'm surrounded by your embraceBaby I see your haloYou know you're my saving graceYou're everything I need and moreIt's written all over your faceBaby I feel your haloPray it won't fade away

  I feel your halo (halo) haloI see your halo (halo) haloI feel your halo (halo) haloI see your halo (halo) halo…”

  Softly ing to the end of the stanza she was whisper-singing, Casey dropped her hands and ed her arms loosely around Sylvie’s ned shoulders. “I said finally, because … I see your eyes when I ine now.” Casey blinked a tear that rolled down her cheek, “You baby-doll, it’s all you.” Casey slipped her eyes shut and sighed as she felt and saw Sylvie’s eyes dominate her mind once more. “The moon…so different for me now.” Pressing her lips gently to Sylvie’s cheeks, and trailing slowly around until she captured her lover’s plump boundary and tugged long enough to hear Sylvie whisper-whimper then trailed down to her partner’s . “Sweetheart, My …” Casey paused and kissed Sylvie on her dainty nose. “No. No little game name right now.” Deep within the moment, Casey finally reopened her ray of sunshines and was immediately greeted by the darkness of Sylvie’s new moon nighttime irises. “Taini…please…” Casey wiggled her hands-free from Sylvie’s dance grip and danced her thumbs at the er of her lover’s temples. “...be my eclipse. Cover me in your soothing dark and promise me that I will never be alone again.” Her teeth began to chatter and her lips quaked, “Taini, Love…I have lived for everyone I have ever been with.” Uo tain herself any longer, Casey pressed dozens of kisses as she spoke to Sylvie. “With…you…I…we live together…Love together.” Her mind still overflowing with the mix of thick blood and the drugs that made her feel like everything was in slow motion, Casey fell into her Sylvie’s arms and simply kept quietly singing the best she could between her happy tears. “Th-thank you.” Casey offered weakly, “You’re my best friend…will you…after all this…”

  “Shhh, Casey. Shhhh…” Sylvie tucked Casey’s head into her shoulder and stopped leading their little dan order to run her hands through Casey’s blood-tainted hair, making a mess in the process. “You don’t o ask me…I didn’t want you to leave in the first pce.” Sylvie felt her shoulder as it got wet ale kisses caressed her skin. “Casey, Casey…yes, Casey…I promise. You will never be alone again, These moons are for you, they’ve been yours since..I…we…touched.” Gently Sylvie pressed a few longing kisses on Casey’s head and down as far as she could reach. “I know you see how I feel, it's… it's your lovely gift.” Sylvie swept her arms under Casey’s and pulled the couple tight enough that no light could be seeween them. “So feel, see in your mind…how deep does my love go…feel it…see it.” Sylvie took a steady breath, “Yes. We are best friends…I most certainly will. Sun and Moon are always together, it's natural and good. Yes, a thousand years, yes.” Sylvie pressed her lips to Casey’s ahem there, simply flexing and sensually trag Casey’s feathery yet throbbing little plums.
