delight mingled with trepidation.
“Octavius…” she began. “I have to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“I’ve never done this before.”
He looked up in confusion. “But Stuart…”
“No,” she said, shaking her head. “It wasn’t like that with him. I couldn’t. I mean – I could, but I couldn’t bring myself to… It wasn’t that I didn’t want to. I can’t explain it. It didn’t feel right. Octavius, it feels right now.” He was kissing her neck, his mouth hot upon her cool skin. She leaned back and arched her spine as his tongue found its way to the rounded cup of her breasts. “You smell so good,” he moaned. “Still, even after Molotov drained you, you manage to smell so enticing. It’s driving me mad. You’re regenerating, my love, I can smell it. Your Life’s Blood is returning to you, driving out my blood and replacing it with your own. Normal humans – they cannot regenerate – but you…” He kissed her veins, running his tongue up and down the blue snakelike lines. Kalina shuddered with pleasure. “You are the rarest of all Carriers, Kalina,” he whispered. “You’re so beautiful, so special – there is nobody like you in the world. Nor has there been anyone I have met like you. Not in two thousand years.”
Kalina was trembling as she felt her body react to his lips, his touch. She wanted him so badly; she could think of nothing but her desire.
“Then have me, Octavius.” She sat up and stared at him. His dark eyes looked into hers, piercing her with their intense gaze. “Have me – right here, right now. If you can’t turn human, Octavius, then I want you to turn me. Justin won’t have to go through it alone. Please. If you turn me, I’ll be immortal – I’ll be safe. I have these vampire abilities now, with my blood, but it’s not enough. You know it isn’t enough, Octavius. I can’t stand being afraid any longer. Being weak. Being vulnerable. I’ve already lost Justin. I can’t stand to lose Stuart too…”
At the mention of Stuart’s name, Kalina saw Octavius flinch.
“I couldn’t help Justin, Octavius,” Kalina said. “When I went into the restaurant with Stuart, I sensed something was wrong. But I didn’t know what. If I’d been a vampire, I would have known. Would have sensed that it was Molotov’s presence. I would have been able to do something, to stop it from happening...” Her voice quivered. “To stop Molotov from killing my brother. My Life’s Blood got in the way – made me weak with desire, made me go off with Stuart.”
And yet as Kalina spoke, her fierce desire gave way instead to intense sadness. Killing my brother , she had said. And it was true. Justin was dead – gone. The pain echoed through her, and all the caresses and sweet kisses in the world could not hide his absence. She felt it as she would feel a knife-wound.
“Oh, my Kalina,” murmured Octavius, drawing her close. He nuzzled her hair. “My love, my darling, my angel…”
“Please,” said Kalina. “What do I have to stay human for? Nobody needs me to be human now. Justin was the only one. My link to the real world, the human world. To being just an ordinary Calloway from Rutherford, California – to being anyone but this Carrier. This mythical creature. And I let him die, Octavius! And he died for me. Not a vampire, not any supernatural creature – just a human being trying to do the right thing. And now he’s destined to suffer a fate worse than death – and I can’t even hope that my blood will be able to save him. I can’t turn him back!”
“My darling…”
She sobbed into Octavius’ shoulder, the full force of Justin’s death hitting her at last. “Molotov will control him now…” Tears fell fast and freely. “Please, turn me. Turn me!”
“You know I can’t.”
“You won’t .”
“I won’t.”
He brushed the hair out of her
