"Here," he smiled at the men. "Let me show you how I do it?"
He looked around and focused immediately on his prey. She gave it away by not dressing as flamboyantly as she could. Her knee length skirt and tank were low enough for curiosity. He walked straight for her and stood in front of her.
"I know what you are, and why you're here," he made a quick play.
"Ha," she smiled. "That's a line I've never heard."
"You can't hide. I followed your scent from the party. Remember? I had a blue jacket on."
She looked into his eyes. "What?"
"I can help you, if you let me. That's why you're here, isn't it?"
She looked down at her hands. He put a hand on her shoulder.
"I won't promise a life match. You need a male, now. I only offer you a solution to your need."
He raised her chin to look into her eyes. "You won't be able to hide it. Your eyes are starting to turn. I'll get rid of my friends, and I can relieve the pain for a night. Would you agree to that?"
Her yellow-flecked, blue eyes welled up with moisture. "Could you?"
"Oh, don't do that. Any other male would do the same thing. I don't want bloodshed in my territory. You know that's what would happen, if I wasn't here to stop it."
He gave her a kiss on the lips and went back to his friends.
"Sorry, boys. This is where I say goodbye. It was nice to see you guys again."
The group of men grumbled and shoved at him as he finished his drink. It was the same when he picked up a meal. Any human in the club would be envious of his ability to bring a girl to his side. If they knew what would eventually befall her, they wouldn't be so eager to learn from him. He kept an eye on her as she walked toward the exit. He didn't want to rush her out, but she was near to the turn. When he caught up with her and took her arm, she grimaced at him. Yes, she was more than ready. He guided her to his car and made sure she was comfortable on the passenger side. He studied her as he started the car. She was a bit thinner than he'd like, with short blond hair and a warm tanned complexion.
"If you are hungry, we can stop off for a steak sandwich. If you would like a live kill, I can take you to a friend's estate. It would be a long drive, though. I think you'd rather just have the protein, wouldn't you?"
"Or, you could just take me to a hotel room. I could order room service and then we don't have to know where each other lives."
"If that's what you want." He raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you just say so?"
"I'm saying it now. I think I'm pretty close. Drive faster."
He pulled into the nearest hotel and jumped out. He looked back at her and said, "Stay put. I'll be back with a key."
