Christy heard the door open but only assumed it was Nana.<span style="font-style: italic">His</span>voice sent pleasurable shivers down her spine as she tensed. Though she couldnt help but lean into his hold as he wrapped his strong arms around her. Everything human inside of her screamed at her to run away from him but the bond of mates kept her in his arms. As Rodriguez promised to keep her safe, she found herself believing him and trusting him to do so. Reaching up, she gripped his arms lightly and leaned into his chest as he sat behind her, pulling her into him. "Why do you keep making me feel this way?..Whats going on?..Im so confused..Rodriguez..Why me?.." she whispered, exhaustion heavy in her tone.<br/><br/><br/>A rose red blush burned on her cheeks as he tilited her head back, her eyebrows knitting together in a confused frown. As he slit his wrist and held her nose, she gasped in a breath after several seconds. "What are you-" she started frantically, fear in her eyes as she caught sight of the blood dripping from his cut. Rodriguez pressed his wrist to her lips, making her squrim in protest as she reached up to push his arm away. Moans of protest came from her as she tried to tell him to stop, squirming a bit harder in his hold as he held her arms down and leaned back. Forcing the blood into her mouth and down her throat, she squeezed her eyes shut as she was forced to drink. A little bit of blood escaped from the corners of her mouth, sliding down her chin as there was a slight sting in her neck from the scratches healing over.<br/><br/>When he finally let her go, she shoved his arm away and sat up quickly. Turning towards him, she slapped him harder than the last time. "What in the hell makes you think i want or need to drink your blood?! I dont need your protection!" she hissed irritably. The moment his arms wrapped around her body again and started to rock her, she involuntarily relaxed into his chest. His rocking almost had her falling asleep as her fear from her earlier nightmare slowly melted away. His whispers made pleasurable shudders run through her and goosebumps rise up on her skin. "Why would you even consider risking so much for me?" she whispered as angrily as she could but it sounded more like a sleepy whisper.<br/><br/>Christy pushed his arms away and quickly moved from her bed. Running into her bathroom, she slammed the door shut and cupped her hands together. Pooling cold water in her cupped hands, she washed out her mouth and the blood off of her chin. Leaning on the bathroom counter, she ran her cold, wet hands over her face and slowly sank to the floor. The thought of Rodriguez's blood running down her throat made her stomach churn and she wrapped her arms around her stomach. Groaning softly as she started to feel sick thinking about it.<span style="font-style: italic">Where is Nana? What the hell is going on? Why did he make me drink his blood? Nana..Did he hurt her? But he said she would explain later... Why do I suddenly feel so attracted to him? Maybe its this mark thing he gave me? What is Nana's role in all of this??</span>she thought, starting to feel the usual fear and nervousness creeping up on her.<br/>~~~~~~~<br/>Nana took his advice and pulled out her old hunting gear, laying it out on the kitchen table. Looking upstairs, she thought that it was strangely quiet. But soon after she thought that, she heard a door slam shut and she couldnt help but chuckle quietly. "Yep. Christy sure did become quite the hothead. Well Rodriguez better stay up there cause i'll just send him back up anyway.." she murmured to herself and started loading her weapons.
