been too long without it, Alex. Last night with you…I need more,” she said and slammed her fist on the desk. “I sent William. He should be back by now.”
    Alex winced and heard the low growl. She walked up behind Sebastian and placed her hand on the strong back. Sebastian flinched. “Don’t…”
    “Sebastian, you must take what you need from me. Until we get the lab, I—”
    “I’m not talking about the serum. I need—” Sebastian stopped and took a deep breath. “I need blood.”
    In all that had happened, Alex had forgotten that Sebastian was, after all, a vampire. And a vampire needed blood to exist. “I’ll find William. You stay right here.”
    As she turned to go, she heard the cellar door open. “Dr. Sebastian, I’m back.”
    William descended the stairs with a cooler and a doctor’s bag. Alex knew exactly what was in that cooler. “I’ll take it, thanks.” Alex held out her hand.
    Sebastian frowned. “Alex, I can—”
    “Sebastian, sit down and roll up your sleeve,” Alex said; she took the black bag and cooler from the stunned butler.
    “Will there be anything else, Doctor?” he asked.
    “No,” both women replied.
    Sebastian was brooding; Alex gave her an unwavering stare. “Rule time,” she said firmly and pushed Sebastian into the deep chair. “Me—doctor. You—vampire.”
    “I’ll be upstairs if you need me,” William said and made a hasty retreat.
    Sebastian let out a low grunt as she rolled up her sleeve. “I’m very capable of doing this. I’ve been doing it for quite some time.”
    Alex ignored her rudeness as she examined the contents of the cooler. She found two IV bags of whole blood. She found what she needed in the doctor bag. Without a word, she started the IV. She noted Sebastian scowling and smiled slightly. “Can’t you just drink this?”
    Sebastian let out a deep sigh. “Yes, but I’m trying to be civilized, I suppose.” She looked up into Alex’s eyes. “I’m sorry.” Sebastian put her head back and closed her eyes. “Thank you.”
    “You’re welcome. I’m not even going to ask where he got this blood.”
    It was an odd sight—Sebastian looked like a junkie getting a fix. Alex raised an eyebrow thinking that’s exactly what she was. She shivered uncontrollably when she thought of what Sebastian would do if she didn’t have this blood. Though she still didn’t have a clear memory of that morning in the warehouse, she had flashes of Sebastian, fangs dripping, eyes blood red as she tore apart…
    “Don’t think about it, please, Alex,” Sebastian said, her eyes still closed.
    “Get out of my head, will you?” Alex patted her knee. “I wish I could remember—”
    “I’m glad you don’t.”
    Alex heard the change in Sebastian’s voice. It was stronger now, and the air of authority was back. Alex smiled, and so did the sexy vampire.
    Sebastian breathed deeply through her nose, as if mediating. Then, in awe, Alex saw them—the fangs protruding between her lips. Her breathing became deeper and she heard the low growl, almost a snarl. A fine sheen of perspiration formed on Sebastian’s brow, glistening in the soft incandescent lamp. Alex watched her breasts rise and fall with each breath Sebastian took. Her jaw tensed, her eyes opened, and she looked right at Alex, who blinked but stared right back into the hazel eyes.
    They sat there for a moment in silence. Alex felt the sexual desire cascade off Sebastian’s body as she gazed seductively at Alex. Sebastian’s gaze raked over her and Alex felt her nipples tighten—the throbbing began.
    The IV was finished. Sebastian took the needle out of her arm, all the while never losing eye contact with Alex. “Come here, love,” Sebastian said in a low, almost guttural voice.
    Alex stepped in between Sebastian’s parted legs and reached out to Sebastian, who shook her head. “Just stand there.”
    All moisture left Alex’s mouth. Her body quivered as Sebastian reached out and unzipped
