Hours later, Caleb still sat at the table waiting for her. She'd delivered them drinks all night without so much as another word. She seemed afraid of him as she ran around the room avoiding eye contact. He watched the band setting up on stage, and wondered if he should head home. He could try again tomorrow. Then he saw her walk on stage. She'd let her hair down, and the fall of straight black silk fell nearly to her waist. She still wore the same skintight jeans that molded long, lean legs, the jeans he imagined peeling from her body as she writhed and begged for him to hurry up.


His cock lengthened, pressing tight against his zipper as images of her naked body spread out before him entered his mind. His fangs descended at the thought of piercing into her creamy thigh and taking her essence into his body.


"Hey, Caleb buddy, you're about to see what really brings us out to this dive night after night." Caleb fought the urges rushing through him as he focused on his friends again. "Abby is one hell of a singer."


Caleb looked back to the stage as Abby stepped up to the microphone. When the band started a slow melody, the crowd fell silent, waiting, every eye on the enchanting woman about to sing to them.


She swept her eyes around the room, briefly connecting with him before her eyes slid shut and the first line of lyrics slipped from her ruby lips. "I'm not sure about this. I'm not sure about anything anymore. I fight to look inside."


The dark voice from the small, beautiful woman whipped through him, heating his blood and flooding his mind with lustful images. Images of their two bodies intertwined across blood red silk sheets. His fingers wrapped in her long hair, pulling her head back, exposing her pulse at the base of her pale throat. Her arms wrapped around his back, urging him forward. Those haunting amethyst eyes imploring him to take her as his hips surged forward, burying his cock to the hilt.


Shaking his head, he forced the all-too-real images from his mind.


"Who are you and who am I?" Her velvety voice reached for him as her eyes opened, releasing a small tear. Caleb watched the tiny drop track down her cheek. He fought the urge to run to the stage and drag her away. The compelling need to claim her came from deep within his soul.


Mine. All mine. The thought shocked him with a certainty he didn't understand.


Caleb managed to force his gaze away from the stage to look around the room at all the people sitting enraptured as Abby crooned to them.


“If I awaken it’ll be to my sin.” Her voice called to every person in the room. Luring them to her. She had a rare gift indeed. As a vampire, he should be able to resist a mortal call. Why her? What made her different from all the many others? Why now? He tried to hold onto those questions like a lifeline but found it impossible to resist her. He turned back to face the woman of his desires, only to find her staring straight at him, focused and sure.
