Mary jiggled her crossed leg nervously, looking around the dark and crowded bar. The bar where she had first met Devon in fact. Suddenly the term "meat market" took on a whole new meaning considering what they were doing there.
Devon reached over and put a reassuring hand on her knee, leaning over toward her. "Relax, you'll be fine."
"Do we have to do this tonight," Mary said worriedly.
"Yes, we've already put this off too long, you need to know how to feed and stop yourself. If I'm ever not around-"
"Don't even say that," Mary said cutting him off.
Devon smiled and put his other hand on her cheek, softly caressing the skin. "I'm not going anywhere, I just need to know you can do this yourself. I will be there to make sure nothing happens. You'll be fine."
She shook her head, resolved to figuring this out and making him happy. "Okay, you're right, I need to do this," she paused. "And I am thirsty," she said biting her upper lip, a gleam in her eye.
"Alright, one thing to be aware of when you are hunting, you need to make sure you know if there are cameras and where they are. I know this place doesn't have any around or near the alley."
"Obviously," Mary said, smiling, remembering their first encounter in that alley.
He pulled her chin over and kissed her deeply, tongue flicking across hers. "I'll never forget it, that night changed everything," he said sincerely.
Mary felt her heart speed up and her nipples harden, and she kissed him back feeling the wetness grow between her legs.
Devon pushed her back in her chair. "We better stop this or we'll never get you fed. For now, anyway," he said with a sexy grin.
A small pout appeared on Mary's face. "Fine, let's get this over with so we can get out of here and I can feed on you all night long."
Devon smiled at her, warmth filling his chest. "Okay, look around. Do you see anyone you think will work?"
Mary casually looked around her. The bar was not very well lit, but she could see fine. Over in the corner she saw a young man, maybe in his mid-twenties, looking upset. He was nursing a beer and looking anxiously at his watch.
"Him," she said indicating the man with a shake of her head.
"Why?"
"He's alone, looks like he is waiting for someone who is late, and from the way he is dressed, I would say a woman."
"Good. Why don't you go over there. Just go with your instincts, talk to him, get him interested, and get him outside. When I see you head to the door, I'll follow. I'll be right there in case you need me." He leaned in to look directly in her eyes. "Just remember to feel his heart when you feed, listen to it, and stop before you take too much."
