The moment of clarity came.. the moment when their hearts beat in unison, when theirs was one body in itself, and when Arthur could hy feel her emotions.. hear her thoughts.. could not find ends, to which his feelings began, and hers ended. All the while, this blood.. this sweet and fire hot nectar, it filled him.. and he fed off of it, spurred, now, and without a trace of guilt, or regret. She wanted it.. she was giving to him, and the blood was taken in love, not in cruel rape. It was as though he could drink freely.. without worry.. and it was powerful.
As was the mermaid’s life force.
As soon as the crimson liquid had touched his lips, he’d felt something.. knowledge, vast as the seas, at the tips of his fangs. He floated through it.. easily, not trying to grasp onto anything… and he felt in tune with a part of him that he usually hid. The monster in him.. the beast…. it was pleased.. and it was tamed. There were no conflictions from the human side, as the human side was lost in the song of a thousand mermaids.. lost in the seas, floating among the precious waves.. thoughts breaking like white foam on a beach.
As the vampire drank, the blood seemed to work miracles almost instantaneously. His pale, long limbs growing warmer.. his blonde hair taking on a shine that was more natural, his cheeks flushing with a new warmth. He seemed to grow human before her eyes, and yet.. there was still an unnamed grace about him that certainly wasn’t human… almost.. angelic.
The blood filled him. Filled him. And he pulled away of his own accord. Crimson liquid dripped from his gleaming white fangs, rested on his lips, pink now, with the very liquid. His eyes, they showed a vast range of emotion.. the very irises themselves seemed to waver with the light of the moon, and there was a look on the vampire’s face… of pure bliss.
So blissful was the moment that she didn’t even realize that he had pulled away at first; she realized it only when there was no longer warmth on her neck, and the cool sea breeze brushed it in striking contrast. She would have frowned, were she not on a sort of high. Her arms slipped down his body, and she blinked; once, twice, rolling her head before their eyes finally met once more. There was a new glimmer in her ocean blue irises this time… it told of want, desire, perhaps even lust.
Her smile was bright and distant, her heartbeat quick and her head light from all of the blood that he had taken. She breathed in deeply, taking note of how much more human he appeared.
“Lovely,” she told him, voice just as distant as her smile. There were better words to describe her experience, but she couldn’t quite think of them at the moment. “Absolutely lovely. I do hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.”
“Quite..” He spoke in turn, seeming a little breathless as he wiped the blood from his mouth. He chuckled, and it seemed to ring, “Ah, forgive me! I’ve made a mess of myself.” His eyes seemed to flash, deeper than before, yet somehow— they were warmer. After cleaning the rest of the blood off of his hands, he gave a light, flitting sigh… the flush of the blood rising to his cheeks. “How lovely that was… and how warm I am now… ohh..” He closed his eyes, seeming to be wrought with new emotion, “If only you could understand what the feeding does to us.. what it feels like… it’s… it’s connection, on such a deep level.” A pause, and then he smirked a bit, his voice a bit sharper, “Of course… it feels good for me, the devil who takes the life…. ahh, how cruel.”
Opening his eyes once more, he let them roam over the other’s body for a moment, before offering, “Does it sting..? It really shouldn’t, yet..” A faint amusement coloured his tone, “I cannot help but wonder.. as you are not human…”
