Her blood was delicious. As he drank he could feel it filling his stomach pleasantly and then processed just as quickly to rush through his veins. Vampires didn't require a lot of human blood at one time. Usually about a pint was all that was required to sustain them for a couple of days. But imagine being hungry and in a room full of your favorite foods. It was unlikely one would show restraint and would eat more than they had to. That was the problem with many vampires. They fed past the point where they had to and that was when they accidentally consumed too much blood and killed the human. Humans killed this way became thralls. Dead but reanimated. Valor surmised it was a vampire's thrall that inspired stories of zombies.<br/><br/>Thralls were easily killed. A stake through the chest or exposure to silver was enough to reduce them to ashes. Of course if a vampire intended to make their victim a vampire then they injected a large quantity of venom into their body. And much like in the creation of a thrall the human would die but be reborn a vampire. Even so the new vampire still had an unbreakable bond with the one that transformed them into a vampire. But a vampire could only be created if a vampire went into the process wanting to turn them. They couldn't feed and then inject them with venom.<br/><br/>Vampires could also reproduce. But a vampire's sexual organs only functioned properly when they were well fed. And miscarriages were very common as a result. Theist scholars suggested that Dragorax didn't want vampires to become to populous so he made the process difficult. And while a vampire could successfully mate and impregnate a human it rarely happened. Even if the human survived the encounter they were usually executed if it was discovered they were bit by a vampire.<br/><br/>Her body had tensed again when his fangs penetrated the artery and when she tried to pull away he held her firmly in place so she couldn't move. This was for her own safety. Had she moved while his fangs were buried in her flesh it would cause his fangs to slice through her skin and likely kill her. He hadn't mentioned that because he knew he could hold her in place. He also heard her cry of pain but it would only be a temporary pain. And not too long after the whimper of pain came the soft sound of pleasure as his venom did what it was supposed to.<br/><br/>He knew the venom won out completely when she melted against him. Most humans didn't function very well after having the venom injected. He was still feeding from her but he felt her fingertips tracing down his left arm to his fingertips and then he felt it as she unfastened her pants. His right hand was still softly fondling her left boob even as all of this happened. Gently he took the nipple between his index finger and thumb and massaged it gently as his left hand slid gently into her pants. Only her panties kept his hand from touching her womanhood truly but he rested his palm against it gently before letting his middle finger stroke her softly through the cloth.<br/><br/>By then he had taken about a pint of blood so he finished by sealing the wound. A few flicks of his tongue and the skin healed. This would stop the vein from spewing blood and would seal the bite wounds to prevent infection. Of course the bite would leave a scar. Now finished feeding her pulled his hands away only to pick her up and carry her over to her bed. He laid her down on it gently and then kicked off his own shoes so he could lay on the bed next to her cradling her against him.<br/><br/>"How do you feel?"
