Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 12: Love
*VICKY*Love couldn't be reasoned with. It was not subjected to individual will, external forces, or God. Nothing mattered when it came to love. What you needed was to enjoy the moment. I enjoyed being in the same room as Leon. His scent was more like hypnotic incense to me at this moment, and his kiss was intoxicating. I leaned into it, with a small groan escaping from my lips. Nothing in my life had felt more right than this, and I was confident he felt that too. I wrapped my arms around him and teased the hair on the nape of his neck. All of it felt natural; the way he pulled himself closer, how his hand found the side of my face and fit it so perfectly, the way his lips collided with mine. Time seemed to have paused. My heart was no longer as restless as before. I was entirely his.Only, this couldn't last—not unless I was honest with him about the different lives I've been through and what had happened on Earth for the past 500 years. But I knew I couldn't tell him. In th
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 13: Reservations
*VICKY*I slowly moved forward from behind the bin and watched as a slow smile appeared on his face. Once I stopped, he walked off the roof's ledge and softly landed right in front of me. He then removed the hat and in the sunlight, revealed his pale face. His cheekbones were very prominent, and there wasn't a single strand of hair on his head. His eyes were a deep golden yellow—the sign of a superior Kindred. I know because I had the same colored eyes.From his appearance, I could tell he wasn't much older than I was when I turned. Forever twenty, but from his display of confidence, he was well over 600 years old. With Blood Hunters, this was very common. In the era of war and famine, many people chose to join the Predators and become a Blood Hunter to survive. This was before the Kindred law and before it was illegal to turn a human against their will. It was all about getting to the next day—and what better way to ensure that then to become immortal and more powerful?"Who
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 14: A Heart's Confession
The cab slowly turned onto 82nd Street and parked directly in front of the Cricket Shoppe, a little gem of a family restaurant in the midst of downtown. I stood outside the store front, hearing the bustle of coffee goers and diners in the open patio behind me. I watched each car go by, preparing myself for Leon's arrival. The last time I had seen him, we had just finished a spontaneous makeout session; I wasn't entirely sure how today would go, and being around him and his Blood Perfume all day…well, it was a recipe for disaster.Just then, a blue Jeep pulled up to the curb and honked the horn at me. When I looked, the driver let the top fall down and inside sat a man donning a white button-down. The first top three were left open, exposing a small amount of chest hair, and the hair on his head was neatly combed and styled. He wore sunglasses, and I wouldn't have recognized him if it weren't for that ever-clear smile. "Ready?" Leon asked. I slowly nodded and opened the car doo
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 15: Past Lovers
*VICKY*200 years ago…As the moonlight shone through the window into my bedroom, I awoke to find myself next to Jacob, shrouded in the warmth of his skin. I had never felt more at home. For more than a month, the two of us had been glued together, immersed in the erotic pleasures of the harem. I still attended council meetings and make executive decisions, but in my time away, I left all the government affairs to Baden.I cared about the throne and my people—it was the reason I usurped it. But once Jacob was found, it was as if everything else didn't matter anymore. The politics, the wars…nothing else mattered but the man lying beside me, entirely healthy and alive. As my mate, his physical fitness had improved tremendously, especially in bed. We could even make love for one night and two days without stopping. I couldn't fathom anything more perfect. I trailed my fingers up and down his arm, gently waking him. He roused and stretched, his eyes fluttering open from a restful sl
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 16: Party Delight
*VICKY*Present day…I woke the next morning with a large cramp in my neck from sleeping curled up on the carpet. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, which were still tender, before trying to stretch my neck left and right to release pressure. My eyes fell to the packages beside me: several bags were laid on the floor, some of their contents dripping out, and I felt even more disparity. The last thing I wanted to do right now was to serve wealthy socialites at a birthday party hosted by Osip. I wondered if it was worse than being betrayed by your mate. Jacob's face flashed into my mind, and the scenes of my dream replayed over again in its eye. It all moved so fast—-the stabbing, the reveal, my rescue, and the recovery. At this moment, my mind was a mess. Some were fragments of my memories, but most bled into the memories of the time I had spent with Leon. A Blood Bond was precious, and I didn't know if I could trust anyone again in such a way. So instead, I stood and reached into the
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 17: Instinct
*VICKY*The rest of the party went off without a hitch. So much so, even Osip eventually made a grand re-entrance, telling everyone that it was just a slight misunderstanding and she didn't mean anything she said. Honestly, after a while, I forgot that I was intermingling with people way out of my league—until someone screamed over wine spilt by a server on their new luxury heels. I hadn't heard of so many brands listed off at once since I was CEO. I watched the guests communicate with each other as Leon stood beside me, talking to an elderly-looking couple who had approached us. Suddenly, my head began to swirl, and I began to see doubles of the guests in the room. I couldn't focus and immediately knew what I needed.Thank god I had stashed some in my coat pocket in the kitchen. I excused myself from the conversation Leon had been having and headed toward the kitchen, weaving around the tables and reaching for the tranquiliser.I looked around the empty space to make sure that
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 18: Second Chances
*LEON*Time passed, and the longer it stretched without Vicky, the longer it felt. I had watched her leave out the patio doors and looked every so often but hadn't seen her come back in. Ethan, Aden, and Jonathan continued to discuss the pending stock options when I checked my watch. 8:30 PM. She shouldn't have been gone this long. Something inside me was pulling me in that direction, screaming at me to follow her. I politely excused myself from the conversation and headed outside. Almost instantly, a gust of wind pulled at my suit jacket, and I gripped each side, pulling it close to shield myself from the cold. I scanned the yard, hoping to catch some sort of sight of her, to no avail. I moved around the bodies lounging along the marble walls of the building and the stone benches and made my way toward the hedge maze. There was no way she'd end up in here—it was pitch black with only a light fog being visible. I could barely see what was in front of me, but that same feeling
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 19: Old Ties
*VICKY*Moonlight scattered in the maze. Coupled with the strange and quiet atmosphere around me, it made the originally magnificent and peaceful garden look sinister and terrifying. I searched the ground for anything to use to defend myself, but any time I tried to reach for something, a large foot came crashing down on my arm, prompting an immediate scream.The scent. It was stronger than ever. This was him—the Blood Hunter."Oh, Victoria. How nice to finally see you again after all these years."Victoria. This name had become so strange to me as time passed. The recollection and memories tied to it made my blood recoil. I didn't want to think of who she was—I vowed never to think of her again. Yet, here I was, pressed into the stone, being forced to come face-to-face with my previous life.And to this man in front of me, it was probably the most glorious day of his life. He bent down to grab a knife from his waistband and revealed it to me up close and personal. The moonlight lit up
