Space Vampire

“I am more interested in talking to you than drinking you down, no matter how good you smell. You haven’t run away, even though you’re afraid. I can feel your pulse hammering.” “Where would I go? I’m a pet, remember? And I’m not running away because if you’re their enemy, you’re automatically my friend.”

“I don’t want to kill you. You’re the first one that’s talked to me like I’m a normal person, not a mistake.”

“Vant to suck my blood?” A ragged groan escapes me and my cock surges in my loincloth. She’d let me drink from her? “Yes.”

“There’s a farm planet three systems over. Cassa system, second planet from the sun. It has a slow rotation and a continent close to the pole, which means that winters are long, and the nights are twenty hours out of the twenty-nine in the full day. There’s only a local government at the northernmost settlement, and I’d bet a handful of credits they can be bribed.”

If she’s there, I need no food but her. I don’t even need water. Dana’s all I need.

“Let’s do it, then.” Because I’m absolutely going to find a way to get more supplies into the pod. She’s not going to suffer. Not under my watch.

“I’ve been home since the moment I met you.” She mouths, I love you, and I kiss her because those are the rules.
