She allowed Christian to help her to her feet, sucking gingerly on her wounded fingertip.  His voice droned on in the background, little more than a faint buzzing in her head as she watched the swirling stones roll around on the floor where he had dropped them.  Her finger began to tingle where she had made contact with the stone and she reached out for them without thinking.  She couldn't allow Christian to bag them and send them to the lab, oh no these stones were meant to stay with her.  Just as her fingers began to curl around them a wave of heat rushed through her body followed immediately by that strange dizzying pressure again.  A cool breeze blew through the room chilling her to bone, her light hair flying around her head partially obscuring the glowing eyes.  The small voice calling to her from beneath the house, the strange connection with Christian abruptly reestablished.  His strong arms around her, hard body moving against her, hands caressing her soft skin, full lips, claws digging into her hips as he mounted her, sharp teeth biting into the soft skin of...  She half moaned, half screamed, her body shaking with a combination of fear and desire.
