"Are you toying with me?"
Bath shook her head. She swallowed against the dryness in her mouth but it didn't help. "I'm here because of choices I made. You've saved me and helped me. God, you've given me the chance to be something amazing. How could I not be thankful?"
"Thankful is nice," Penny conceded. "But I want you to be with me because you want to be. Not because you're indebted."
Beth smiled. "How can I not be indebted?"
"You will exist far longer than you can imagine. You can't go on living for someone else rather than yourself."
"I won't, I promise," Beth said. "But I ask that you let me have this one last thing. Your secret— our secret— will remain with me."
Penny stared at her for a long moment and then nodded. She pulled the blankets away and rolled gracefully out of bed. Beth couldn't help but admire her long and lean form as she came to stand beside her. Her skin was white and pristine. Flawless and unmarred by blemish or hair. "Sit on the bed."
"But—"
"You can't even stand on your own," Penny cut her off. "I will give you the strength you need."
"Oh!" Beth stared at her and then turned and sat down on the edge of the bed. Her towel untwisted and fell around her hips. She ignored it and stared up at Penny.
"This will set a fire inside of you," Penny warned. "But this will be the fourth time and it will bind you to me. I don't tell my other pets about this, I just let them become my minions."
"Minions?" Beth repeated. She stifled the urge to giggle as the image of a yellow pill shapes person popped in her head.
"Most of the people that work for me," Penny explained. "They will do as I tell them. You would do the same, if I asked such a thing."
"Oh! Um, but, I thought— Wait, you said a fourth time? You mean I'm going to drink you, uh, your blood? Again?"
Penny nodded. "I will be careful not to ask anything. When you die and rise again you will regain control of yourself. You will be reborn into my world."
"Oh, okay," Beth said. She bit her lip and nodded. "So what then? I'll be like you, a vam— sorry."
"It's okay, we're alone," Penny said with a smile.
"I'll never need your blood again?" Beth asked. "Just, um, others?"
Penny nodded. "We'll talk about that later. After. As for drinking from me or me from you, that's something rarely done."
"Why?"
"To drink is to kill," Penny said.
Beth's eyes widened. She reached up to her throat where she felt the barely swollen wounds on her neck. "You didn't kill me."
"I did, it's just taking a while," Penny said. "All I will say is that drinking from another bonds you to them. They have power over you."
"And if you drink from me—"
Penny nodded. "Yes."
"This is deep."
"It can be," the vampire agreed.
Beth took a deep breath and let it out. "Okay, I need to get ready and get going. Let's do this."
"Are you sure?"
Beth stared at the statuesque woman standing in front of her and smiled. "I trust you."
Penny lifted her arm to her mouth and twisted it. Beth watched her lips part and her mouth open, but her gaze was focused on the woman's canine teeth. They extended and sharpened to points that look the equal to any needle or knife. Penny plunged them into her wrist without hesitating.
"Drink," Penny hissed as she lowered her wrist and offered it to Beth.
Beth stared at the two dark holes in the woman's wrist. She jerked her head, meaning to turn away, when she smelled the coppery scent that called to her. It pulled her back, reminding her of the spicy drink. Beth took Penny's arm in her hands and looked up at her.
Penny nodded. "Drink, Pet."
Beth's lips were already parted. She didn't stop to wonder how she could drink, there was no blood flowing from the holes. She pressed her lips to Penny's skin and started sucking. The wind, rain, and snow didn't faze her and the shower wouldn't get hot enough to warm her. The thick wine that filled her mouth burned with a heat that made her breath burst out of her nose.
