Work Text:
It was almost 10PM on the dot as Gee took her usual seat in the closed playground behind the Kearney ShopRite. She'd been trying to go here almost every night for upwards of a month now, watching the night stockers come in and out of the store for their smoke breaks. Well, she was more interested in one employee in particular; one she'd caught sucking on the wrist of some lucky fucker at a bar, and Gee's gone out of her way to track her down to her job and see if she would do anything suspicious on the clock.
Or, at least, she'd come out and sit on the swingset with the lowest-cut top she had in hopes that the breeze would waft her scent over the fence to the fire exit door for her vampire mistress to catch a whiff of. But so far, Gee's luck had been shit.
The moon was bright enough that night that she brought one of her newest books with her, and she bent her knees slowly in rhythm to give the swing some momentum as she flipped to the spot she'd left off while keeping her ears perked for the sound of rusty hinges opening.
Getting under The Director’s skin was so easy, but I like to take my sweet time. Under the right touches, even he would kneel and how he would often does so anyway, every time he could get.
The blood was intoxicating to him, he craved more and so I gave it to him, the sex was rougher, frequent. I would give it to him, but I don’t always yield. Watching his eyebrows furrows in frustration was beautiful-
She gasped hard as the book flew out of her hand- no, it was snatched, and her scream fell muted into an ice cold, calloused hand. As if her pulse hadn't already begun to race in the book's immersion, but it was sprinting now.
"Why are you always watching me?" The untamed chestnut curls tickled Gee's ear; she probably would have passed out if she wasn't sitting down already. But her instinct had her chin tilting up more and stretching out her carotid artery. Could the vampire hear her heart? What did Gee smell like to her? The vampire's golden eyes were only highlighted behind her glasses, and she smelled like cheap laundry detergent. Strange, though, that she wasn't in uniform. "When I put my hand down, you're gonna tell me who you are. If you try anything or scream, I'm gonna show evidence to my manager and the cops that you've been stalking me."
Gee nodded slowly and swallowed, digging her nails into the heels of her palms. When the hand started to pull away, she held her breath and tried her hardest not to get caught in a trance. "I-" she started, and stammered the syllable out enough to make her shut her eyes and do a hard restart. "I saw you...at a bar show. You were in the alley, and I wanted to know you." Her cheeks were burning; was that making her scent stronger? "I did want you to notice me."
The vampire sighed with a frown. "So what do you know about me, then?" She'd already got her answer without a word when Gee's eyes unabashedly pointed to her mouth. Her lips curled into a disappointed frown. "Okay, so what do you want?"
"I'm here to offer myself." Gee stood up slowly, keeping her posture relaxed and her back straight. "If you ever get hungry, you could...call me. I swear I'd never tell anyone about you, and I don't wanna be turned." A complete lie, but one that Gee could keep to herself for now. "I- I just saw you and something a-awoke in me, and I needed to see you again."
She squinted, and her gaze raked down Gee's body before standing up as well. She was only a few inches taller, but broader. She had the most beautiful, strong shoulders that Gee kind of wanted to hold onto forever. "You're weird."
"I know." A disappointed sigh forced its way out of Gee's chest. "I'm sorry I was too scared to approach you."
"Well, you've been following me to my job. Where I can't stand around and talk," she reminded her, crossing her arms. "Where else have you followed me?"
Gee shook her head. "Nowhere!" Her voice cracked on the answer. But the only reason she'd never followed her home before was purely out of exhaustion by the end of the nights. "My name's Gee. I just...want to help you."
"You wanna get off on being bitten," she corrected her. "I know people like you. You think I don't have hookups for this kind of thing?"
Gee bit her tongue at first, but she curled her lip between her teeth to chew a small hole into instead. And her thoughts finally got ahead of her mouth when she admitted, "I don't think you do. Please let me sate your hunger."
The vampire shifted back an inch in hesitation. "You don't know me. You'd just be willing to get hurt by some stranger?"
"We don't have to be strangers." Gee leaned forward more. But before she could get anything else out, the back door across the fence swung open. She squeaked when the vampire gripped her wrist and dragged her across the playground. "Ow-"
"Listen. I'm really sorry, Gee, but you can't wait around for me outside here. Okay? I'm sure you have some good intentions under your freaky kink, but I can't," The vampire shook her head. "Sorry."
Gee lowered her head and rubbed her wrist when the vampire let go, and she frowned. "You won't at least give me a taste test?"
She paused, then, and she let out a snort as she looked away. "Fuck," she whispered, rolling her eyes. "You can't be funny when I'm telling you to go home."
"I swear I don't wanna cause you trouble." Gee turned her wrist upward and held it out. "I just saw you that night and- and I saw your work uniform in the back of your car, and then I really didn't know where to go from there."
"Except to watch me on my breaks." She sighed, and let the silence take over as she thought. "Ray."
Gee blinked. "Sorry?"
"My name," she explained. "It's Ray. Unless you already knew that."
"I didn't, actually." Gee shook her head, her wrist still out. But she smiled eagerly, perking up more. "Ray, that's really cute."
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Ray exhaled and shook her head to herself, and she gripped the center of Gee's forearm. "If you're too loud, I'm still gonna report you for stalking."
Gee didn't even have the time to open her mouth when Ray bared her teeth and one fang sliced a small line into the soft, pale flesh away from the vein. True, Gee wasn't loud as promised, but she couldn't hold back a needy whine. Closing her eyes, she tried to grace Ray some privacy as she felt the tongue on her skin, and it had her thighs trembling. She had to reach out with her free hand and grip Ray's shoulder.
Yeah, this was sort of the best fucking thing to ever happen to her. But it was over way too quickly, as Ray lowered her arm.
"You taste like anyone else," she admitted, cracking a smile.
Gee slowly opened her eyes and pretended she still had some composure left. She wasn't exactly sure just how to respond to that, so she just nodded in recognition. "Um- so, not bad?"
"Not bad," Ray agreed, and she stared down at the ground. "Gee, you can't come around here during my shifts anymore. My coworkers also talk about you and they're trying to get me to report you and stuff, and I'm sure that you're nice and all."
"I'm sorry if I caused any trouble-" Gee started, but Ray put a cold finger to her lips.
Ray hesitated. "I'll be at the bar next Saturday, okay? And I'll be hungry."
Gee's eyes widened, and she nodded. "Yeah. See you then."
Ray snorted. "Now, go home. You have no idea how bad of an idea it is that I'm trusting you, okay?"
"Yeah- yeah, of course. Thank you." Gee blinked again, and she stumbled back until she regained the strength in her legs. As much as it pained her to turn around, she headed back to pick her book up, and she practically skipped the rest of the way back to her apartment,
