pool, swirling the hibiscus flowers as they floated by.
    Across from her, Sebastian lounged in the cool water, her head resting against the smooth concrete rim. She noticed how the moon filtered through the trees and danced across Tatiana’s elegant features. Her ache for the older vampire grew as she slowly swam across the pool. The hibiscus flowers seemed to guide her to Tatiana, who lay there smiling.
    Sebastian swam to her side and rested her arms on the edge. Tatiana’s grin widened. “And just what are you thinking, my darling Sebastian?” she asked with her eyes closed. “Do not forget I can read your mind.”
    Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Then, madam, you know exactly what I am thinking and what I want.”
    Tatiana opened her eyes and looked down. “Yes, I know.”
    “Come in, the water will cool you on this hot night.” Sebastian pushed off the edge and drifted backward.
    Tatiana watched her. “You are a devil. What a life you will have.”
    “What a life we will have,” Sebastian corrected her and swam under the water. It did cool her off, but her ache was still there as she came up with her long hair streaming behind her.
    “We have talked of this,” Tatiana said as she dipped her fingers in the cool water; she then stood. “However.”
    Tatiana loosened the ties to her toga; it slipped silently to the ground. She stood naked before Sebastian, who grinned and shook her head. “You are the magnificent one. You are beautiful.”
    Tatiana slowly walked down the steps into the cool water. Sebastian swam to her and stood in front of her. “I need you, Tatiana.”
    Tatiana sported an exasperated look as she gently cupped Sebastian’s handsome face. “You do not need anything, darling. You take, you are a vampire.”
    “I take, Tatiana. I see and I take. It is the way, I accept that,” Sebastian said as she reached in and fondled Tatiana’s firm breast.
    Tatiana closed her eyes and sighed. “Yes, you are a devil. I knew I sired you for a reason. You will be great one day. But for now,” she pulled Sebastian close to her breast, “take from me.”
    Sebastian let out a deep groan as she kissed her breast, her tongue lapping across her hardened nipple. She felt her hunger starting, her fangs beginning to protrude. It was something she was getting used to, but in such a short time, Sebastian’s hunger grew. She backed Tatiana against the side of the pool, then lowered her head, gently took her breast into her mouth, and suckled. She heard Tatiana sigh as she parted her legs. Sebastian took the offering and slid her hand beneath the surface of the water and into Tatiana.
    “Yes, Sebastian. Feed from me now, darling. Gain strength, the strength you will need for centuries to come,” Tatiana whispered and extended her arms across the edge of the pool. She turned her neck, offering herself.
    Sebastian saw the vein pulsating; she moved her fingers deeper within Tatiana. The warmth from Tatiana was exquisite. Centuries of being a vampire, all the life Tatiana had experienced, the hunger she sated throughout the centuries—all of this was intoxicating to Sebastian now.
    “Give me strength, Tatiana,” Sebastian whispered, then sank her fangs deep into her neck.
    Both vampires groaned deeply. Sebastian slowly and deliciously took from Tatiana’s life force and in turn, fed her own. The rush she felt through her veins was overwhelming. She thrust deeply when she felt Tatiana’s body shake.
    “My turn, darling,” Tatiana hissed.
    When Sebastian felt the fangs on her shoulder, she cried out as she still sucked from Tatiana. Her head was reeling as she heard Tatiana gently sucking against her shoulder.
    Tatiana came then, her cry of ecstasy muffled against Sebastian’s shoulder. She pulled back as did Sebastian. They shared a kiss, sensually cleaning the remnants of their feast away.
    Sebastian was smiling as she looked into Tatiana’s eyes. Tatiana shook her head. “You are a very bad
