fear or hesitancy. She needed to keep a clear head and not let her desire for him get in the way of what she needed to do.
She kissed him hard on the lips. Her mouth claiming his passionately. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to be pushed back against the mattress.
She sat back on him, her hands massaging his chest trough his shirt as she straightened up. He sighed, eyes still closed enjoying the feel of her hands on him. With his hands free he grasped her outer thighs and worked his way up for cup her bare ass.
Slowly she reached down, searching under the mattress for the stake. She found it with minimal searching. Taking a deep breath she grasped it fully in her palm. Taking a quick look back at him to ensure he was still not looking she pulled the stake fully out and lunged it at his heart.
Before the stake could make contact, he moved into action. Snarling he grasped the hand with the stake and flipped her over on her back, against the mattress. His free hand ripped the stake from her hand and tossed it out the open window. It was then she felt the pinch of his fangs as they pierced into the soft skin of her throat.
She closed her eyes and relaxed, she was certain that was the end. She was going to die half naked in her bedroom, after being a vampires dinner. I'm an embarrassment to hunters everywhere , she had thought. He drank for a moment before springing to his feet on the bedroom floor. Opening her eyes, she raised her head to look at him.
He wiped the excess blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. The lust had left his eyes, his eyes were blank of any emotion now as he stood there looking down at her.
"You're not worth it!" he snarled before turning from her and vanishing out the window.
That was the last time she had encountered him that close. From then on it became even more of a game for him. She knew he enjoyed letting her get close enough that she felt she had a chance to finally destroy him, only to have him slip out of her grasp again. He had made her want him, even drank from her then just to disappear into the night.
Granted, she did try to kill him but still...
****
She brought her mind back to the present. She had shot him so he was injured. Gina needed to track him before he had time to heal. The longer this game went on the more confused she would be about him, about her feelings towards him. Once he was dead she could move on and be done with this nonsense of wanting him.
The truth was that even if she wanted to be with him and he with her, what then? There were other hunters, who would be more than happy to track them down, kill him and her just for being with him. No this was how it had to be.
Kneeling down she noticed there was a trail of blood leading out of the alleyway. He was moving fast, but not so fast that she couldn't catch up to him. She may not have killed him, but she had injured him badly so he wouldn't have been able to get far without blood. Either she would find someone dead, drained of blood not far from here or he had a residence nearby.
Her money was on he had a residence nearby. He preferred to live in small houses in quiet residential areas. Usually the house would be small, secluded from a main road and nestled in a patch of trees ensuring privacy. While the district she was in currently happened to be an industrial area, there was a small residential district just a few miles to the north so that was the direction she was heading.
She had left her SUV, an old beat up Grand Cherokee just a few blocks from her current location so she headed the vehicle, hopefully tonight will be the night that she finally disposes of the Vampire Lance.
Chapter 3
Lance was hurting, there was no doubt about it. He was lucky that he lived just a few miles from the place he was shot otherwise he would have had to drink some poor buggers blood. He stumbled into the front door of his house, closing the door with his foot he made his way into the kitchen. He had a stash of
