Part 3 of Daredevil is up on the blog. Read the rest of it here! :-)
Taking the bite with her fingers wasn’t exactly what Dwayne had in mind. In fact, he expected her to take it off with her mouth. A bit of a romantic gesture on his part, but the more he thought on it, the more he was glad she hadn’t. He wasn’t exactly the fast moving kind under normal circumstances, unless they were his victims in the usual ritualistic fuck and feed. He also admired the fact that she wasn’t in a hurry to get down and dirty and it showed in his expression. Never mind the fact that she got lost in his eyes every time she stole a look that lasted longer than a few seconds.
He brought his elbows up on the table and folded his hands together under his chin, content to listen to her talk while studying all her habits.
A frown came over him, however, when she mentioned freedom being a problem and then he remembered her youth. Suddenly he felt a little uncertain about her and whether or not trying to continue spending time with her after this night would be a good thing.
The boys had all had their rounds with youngsters as they weren’t the type to discriminate, but fighting with an outside family for one person put them dangerously on the radar. If something were to happen, their safety might end up in jeopardy.
“Then perhaps I’ll have to steal you away,” he countered anyways. “Someone like you should never be considered second best. I’m surprised you haven’t found a way to get rid of her already.”
Too much maybe? It did sound a little murderous on the serious side of things. “Anyway, I can give you a ride home. That means riding on the back of my hell bitch.”
With a satisfied smile, he went back to picking through the mass of nachos and barely touched his sugar laden soda as it would bring him more cravings for blood.
She caught his attention again with the subject quickly moving back into date number two, or technically date number one. His dark eyes looked up swiftly, his chin still down, mouth partially open to catch the next bite. He didn’t want to wait for weeks for something else to happen between them, unless David gave him a good and solid no when it came to seeing her again. If his sire even smelled one fraction of trouble, he’d pull the plug. Lest Max get up in their business like he often liked to do.
But there was something familiar in the way she went on about this new place and the food and the way her checkmarks on an invisible list found solidity in his mind’s eye. He couldn’t resist taking a peek into her silent mind at that point. Careful not to dig too deep, he got a flood of warm info about family and food and culture. That’s when the bells went off, as his own culture was still very important to him, regardless of being a night creature.
“Depends on whether or not you want to hear the music,” he answered, cheating a bit in the psychic sense. “If not, a beach night sounds good. My brother has a rock box…a stereo we could borrow. Fuck it, I’ll steal it from him if I have to,” he laughed.
“But I gotta know you’ll be alright tonight first. No way I’m sending you home alone. It’s too dangerous out here at night.”
