Blood Dripping Fingertips by Meghan Escott (read ebook pdf .txt) 📕

I woke up in the middle of the night at the sound of Sam’s voice and the feel of his fingers on my skin. He was stroking my hair and saying ancient poems to me. “Come out of your dreamland and come to me instead.” Sam said and I was instantly awake.
Hey beautiful. It’s time for our lesson now. Sorry to wake you.
I rolled over onto my other side and saw him there. Sat on the bed right where he usually is. “Thanks for waking me Sam.” I said to him. I sat up in the bed and leaned against the head board. Sam laughed and said “Bed head!” I instantly felt my hair and it was all over the place. I grabbed a hair band and shoved my hair into a pony tail looking away from Sam. When I looked back at him he put his finger to his neck and tapped. I shook my head knowing what he meant.
He moved up the bed and sat next to me. He took my hands into his. His hands were soft but strong and gripped mine tightly making sure I couldn’t run if I wanted to. He looked up into my eyes. “You have to do this Lucy. You can’t survive on my wrist forever. You will need the nutrients of my neck to survive. I don’t want you to die after I have found you.” Sam said to me trying to reason with me but I kept on shaking my head.
After five minutes of Sam trying to reason with me he said “You know I love you, yeah?” I nodded. “Then just remember, I did this because I love you.” And before I could protest, he grabbed my mouth, opened it and closed it on his neck. My teeth penetrated his skin and his blood began to fill my mouth. I had to swallow the blood and it gave me a surprising scream of joy and relief. I wanted more of the joy and relief so I kept on drinking. This blood was hotter than it was in Sam’s wrist and now I understood that it defiantly had more nutrients for me in it.
Sam had to pull my head away from his neck to stop sucking his blood. Me having too much of his blood would resort in serious pain for him and I didn’t want that so I forced myself to stop feeding and heal the bite mark. “I’m sorry Sam.” Looking down into my lap and turning away from Sam. I got off the bed and went into my kitchen diner and sat at the table. I got out my Mental Activity Theory book and placed it on the table without looking at Sam.
When I looked up for the first time since feeding, Sam was on the other side of the table looking up and down at me. I didn’t look at him until he said “Look at me.” That’s when I looked at him but not his eyes. I looked at his neck and saw that there was no mark where I had bit him. He wasn’t trying to get me to look at his eyes because he was looking at my neck. His mouth was wide open surprise. He walked over to me, still staring at my neck and bent down so he was eye to neck with me. He lifted his finger and traced number of patterns on my neck which made me shivers.
“Wow. My name is imprinted on your neck.” He said in a scared but in awe voice. He then picked me up out of the chair and carried me over the bathroom. He opened the door and carried me in. He stood me up directly in front of the huge mirror and forced my head up and opened my eyes.
I was staring at myself in the mirror and I looked down at my neck. Sam was right and the word ‘Jahd’ was tattoo onto my neck with delicate and intricate designs disguising the letters. I turned towards Sam and looked into his eyes for the first time since I fed. “What does this mean?” pointing at my neck.
“It means you have my essence. You have a part of me in you and I will need it back to be able to live. You drink too much from my neck with mean I have to retrieve my essence through your neck. This means I have to feed from your neck to be able to live and we will have to feed off each other for life if we both want to survive.” Sam said back to me in a nearly calm voice. I stepped out of the bathroom and collapsed on to the bed. I was energised from Sam’s blood which meant I could survive being fed from.
Sam stepped out of the bathroom just after me and watched me fall onto the bed. I tapped the space next to me and he instantly came over and sat next to me. I sat up opposite him and lent into him. He expected me offer my neck to him but instead I kissed him. I pulled him down on top of me and started undoing the buttons on his shirt. He slid my cardigan off my shoulders and put it neatly on the floor. I slid his shirt off and put it on top my cardigan.
Sam’s chest was lovely and tanned and well built up. As I was admiring his chest, Sam was slipping my dress off. That went on top of Sam’s shirt as well as his trousers, pants and my underwear and bra. We continued kissing and when both of our minds had proclaimed us ready, Sam pulled back. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Sam said in his low and sexy voice. I nodded to him and pulled him into me. It was painful to start with but after a bit the pain became pleasurable.
We were both moaning and groaning when his mind reminded me of what he had to do. I nodded again. He leant into my neck and he bit. The amount of times I had been bitten by Sam it wasn’t painful any more It was just insane pleasure. Sam sucked and sucked and I wished he would never stop.
He had sucked about the same amount as I had sucked him; he pulled away and healed me. He then he rolled over so he was on his back next to me. He rolled onto his side and leant up on his elbow so he could look at me. He looked at my neck and I looked at his, both of us as surprised as the other.
Your tattoo hasn’t faded but increased.
You have got my name tattooed on your neck.
Seriously?!
Seriously.
He put his pants on and got out of my bed and went into my bathroom. As he went in, I put my bra and underwear on. When he came out of the bathroom his face was a face of pleasure and just because Sam smiled, I smiled. He came back to my bed and lay next to me again. I rolled over so I could face him and as soon as I did, he kissed my neck, the side with his name on it, and then kissed my lips. I did the same to him and the rolled out of bed and put my dress back on.
“We have a lesson to finish do we not?” I said to him referring to the Mental Activity lesson that we were meant to be doing. He nodded and put his trousers back on but left his shirt where it was. We went back to the dining table and resumed our positions but this time with Sam a lot closer to me than before.
“Do you remember what Josh said about Vampire Princesses and Vampire Princes?” I nodded. “We are them. I am the Prince and you are the Princess. That means we are destined for a life together. That means that I am your true love and you are mine. Stuff the lesson, you need to get some rest after the night you have had. Go to bed, I will stay with you.” I nodded and got up and went back to bed, slipping my dress off.
Sam lay in the bed with me again and kissed my neck. He then whispered in my ear. “Cover up my name tomorrow with a scarf or make up I do not want anyone knowing about it if my theory is mistaken. I love you.” Sam said to me in a deeply serious voice. “I love you too Sam.”
Sam gasped. “You say it out loud. It actually happened! I didn’t think it would after today. I still have my ability.” He snuggled up against me and stayed with me the whole day long.
