Valor had never told someone he intended to feed from that he was a vampire. Of course he rarely fed from humans anymore. Part of the treaty that had been signed between the kingdom and the dominion made it strictly forbidden for a vampire to feed from a human. Any vampire that was caught doing so could be put to death. Of course no vampire had yet been executed for feeding from a vampire. Vampires left little trace of themselves after they fed. Of course even without the treaty finding suitable prey had become difficult due to silver being everywhere.<br/><br/>So, why did he come outright and say it now? Even Valor wasn't entirely sure. Perhaps it was because he didn't view her as prey and it wasn't because she was a princess. He had fed from princesses before and moved on as quickly as he came. Perhaps it was silly. But even so he watched her closely as what he said sank in. She didn't seem surprised so it seemed he hadn't been too far off in thinking that she already. She was a very observant princess even if she didn't practice safe traveling habits. Had he been another vampire she might not have made it out of the forest.<br/><br/>But Valor always had been different from other vampire. Unlike the average vampire he was sexually attracted to humans. He found the things they did to be very attractive. He loved the way their breath hitched when you touched them the right way. And he absolutely loved the warmth of their flesh. Female vampires were a lot stronger than male vampires were and if they weren't careful they could easily injure a male during procreation. Needless to say he rarely fornicated with female vampires. Not to say it was all bad.<br/><br/>When she asked her question he froze briefly. What would he do? He didn't really know so he didn't say anything. Clearly his silence was answer enough because she finally said okay. He wasn't surprised she would be okay with it. After all she had probably figured out what he was in the forest. She probably already knew he could have fed from her and left her corpse somewhere if he had intended to kill her. Of course he hadn't known in the forest that she was the princess. Now that he thought about it she had taken an incredible risk being out in the forest. The treaty hinged upon her marrying his brother. If she died before that happened or even got killed after the fact it would mean a resumption of war.And the Valic Dominion was tired. His father was tired.<br/><br/>The economy of the country was in shambles and the Blood Rising Clan had been gaining influence for decades. The fact that his brother had been betrothed to the heir apparent of the clan said it all. Valor hadn't been home since the treaty was announced. He knew that his father was going to be very upset with him, but he didn't care. He wondered how upset his father would be if he knew where he was right then. Vampires were traditionally good at hiding their emotions but not his father.<br/><br/>His younger brother was also very brash. Perhaps it was a family trait, but one Valor had fortunately missed out on.<br/><br/>"You have nothing to be afraid of," Valor promised. "I'm not like most vampires. I'll be gentle. The initial bite is going to be the worst part. I won't lie to you. But as I mentioned that pain will give way to a deep pleasure. And then..." Valor slowly moved so that he was standing behind her. He leaned in so his mouth was against her ear, letting soft breaths tickle it. He whispered, "and when the pleasure of the bite has reached its peak I shall take you as a man would a woman."<br/><br/>Valor playfully nipped her earlobe. Any other vampire in his position would have known no self control. They likely would have bitten her by now and probably killed her. Her blood was untainted by silver and he could tell she rarely-if ever-wore it. As he stood behind her he reached out and helped her pull off the jacket.<br/><br/>He knew she was still nervous. But it obviously wasn't just from the fact that she was about to be bitten. Now that the jacket was off he reached around and slid his hands beneath her loose fitting top from behind. Her stomach was soft and very warm to the touch. But his hands did not tarry. They drifted upwards until he found her breasts. He fondled them gently in his hands loving how they fit in them almost perfectly. He caught her nipples between his middle fingers and teased them gently.<br/><br/>Most vampires when biting a human fed first and then in the high of feeding they would copulate with their victim. Valor preferred working towards the bite as it only increased the pleasure of the bite for the human in question.
