him. I hope he has explained this to you.” I nodded again and there was a knock on the door that I knew came from Sam. Professor Reeves nodded and I turned to the door. Walked over to it and saw Sam waiting outside for me. He seemed agitated and uncomfortable but he explained through his mind again about being able to feel my feelings. I must have been feeling mighty uncomfortable to shake Sam.
Sam escorted me back to my room and told me that I was excused from the rest of my lesson that day apart from his Mental Activity lesson. I didn’t protest but lay on my bed and only then did I feel exhausted. Sam came into my room and closed the door behind him. He walked over to my bed and sat on it next to me. When he sat down I got up and went into the bathroom, removed my make-up and took my hair down.
When I came out of the bathroom, Sam was still on my bed waiting for me. He patted the bed space next to him in a motion for me to sit there. I sat next to him cross legged. He turned to face me and started to speak through his mind to me.
Earlier, when you were feeding, you thought you loved me.
Yes.
Did you mean it?
Yes.
He held out both of his hands. One palm up and one clenched into a fist. I put my wrist into palm up hand and gripped his wrist in my other hand. He bit into my wrist first and intense pleasure filled me. I bit into his wrist and sucked. His blood filled me up with a cool and sweet taste.
Your blood is hot and delicious.
Yours is cool and sweet.
I love you.
I love you too.
He pulled back from my wrist and rubbed the wound until it was healed and I did the same for him. He then leaned over to me and kissed me lightly on my lips. He pulled back slightly and at the nod of my head he came back to me and kissed me long and hard and I kissed him back. I leaned back on the bed so he was on top of me.
He started to undo the buttons on my cardigan when there was a knock on the door. I moved off the bed and let Sam lie there will I went to get the door. His shirt buttons were undone so you could see his chest. I held up my finger signalling for 1 minute and he seemed to get it because he nodded but was frustrated.
I walked over to the door and purposely stood so you could not see the bed if you looked in. I opened the door to find a teacher. She looked very displeased and I could understand why. Tom was with her. Sam must have sensed my discomfort at Tom being here because he was fully dressed and at my side before I could open my mouth.
“Ah. Hello Tom. Hello Professor Williams. Tom is all right to enter is he not Lucy.” Looking at each person then at me. I nodded and let Tom enter my room. He looked around the room and I could see his eyes linger on the double bed and I remembered that we had been so close to sex when I was at my house. I could see that he remembered that as well because he glanced from the bed to me back to the bed. I shook my head slightly so he could see but so no one else could.
“What did you want Tom?” motioning towards the couch so he could sit down. He sat and I sat opposite him with Sam by my side. “Shouldn’t you be at home? It’s rather late for you.” I said to him in a reasonable voice but Sam and I knew that it was because I wanted to get back to kissing my love. As I thought this I could see Sam smile beside me.
“I wanted to see you to finish what we started and as I said, I am going to help you through this. Everyone’s asking for you at school and everyone misses you and wants you to come back. When are you going to come back babe?” I saw Sam wince when Tom called me babe and I caught his thought.
You have to tell him now. Otherwise he’s going to be in your life forever. Do you really want that?
I looked at Sam and shook my head. Then I turned to face Tom. “Tom. I know you love me but you have to know that I don’t love you. We can’t finish what we started because that would be wrong. I am sorry for leading you on. I am not coming back to your school because this is my home now. I’m sorry.” I said this to Tom in my nicest and gentlest voice I could possibly use. I looked up at him and saw tears fill his eyes. He genuinely thought I loved him even though I had never said it. He looked at me and blinked back the tears. He then got up came over to me and kneeled on the floor in front of me. He lent into my ear and whispered. “I’m never going to forget you and I don’t believe you don’t love me. The vampires have used the same thing they used on me to make me like The Turner. Come to my house on Friday and let me prove it to you.” He got up and so did I. I lead him to the door and he stepped out. He beckoned me to come out and I did.
He shut the door behind me and then practically pushed me against the wall next to my door. He had his hands on my waist and he forced my hands up to his chest just like when we were in my bedroom at home. He leaned into me and kissed me straight on the lips. I couldn’t pull away because I was up against the wall. That’s why he pushed me to the wall, so I couldn’t refuse him. He was just inserting his tongue into my mouth when he stopped.
Sam was behind him and had pulled him off me. “We do not allow forced romance in this school. You had no right to spring on Lucy like that. You are evidently not her boyfriend any more so you leave and never come back.” Sam really loved me to do that for me. No one would have ever tried to force Tom off me in my old school.
“Remember what I said Lucy.” Tom said and then walked down the hallway to the staircase. “Let’s get you back inside you room. People are staring.” Sam whispered to me and walked over to my door and opened it for me. I walked past him aware of all the gawking students. Sam came in and shut the door behind him. I was shaking so he helped me over to my bed and lay me down. “Get some sleep so you are ready for my Mental Activity lesson. I will be here with you so no one can interrupt you.” To prove what he just said, he came over to the bed and sat on the edge of it while I got under the sheets. I must have dropped off pretty fast because the next thing I could remember was Sam shaking me to get up for the Mental Activity lesson.


Chapter Seven

“It’s time to wake for your lesson of Mental Activity darling.” Sam said softly into my ear trying to wake me gently. “Come out of your dream world and come to me instead.” Once Lucy heard these words she felt wide awake and ready for anything. The words were like magic that Sam had used on her. “Wonderful. You’re wide awake and ready for the lesson. You look beautiful Lucy; stop fussing with your hair.” He said this last bit grabbing my hands and pulling them away from my hair which was completely messed up.
“What will this lesson involve?” Lucy asked Sam tentatively, not knowing whether she actually wanted the answer. “We will go easy today and just work out what you know how to do first and then work from there. Today’s lesson will just be asking you questions to find out what you know so there is no need to get out of bed if you don’t want to.” Sam told her in a professional voice like the past couple of hours hadn’t just happened. Lucy just nodded to Sam so he started asking his questions.
There were about 50 questions that Sam asked me and by the end I was feeling much worn out and tired even though I hadn’t moved from the spot that I had fallen asleep at. At the end of his questioning he surprised me.
I was looking down at the bed thinking how colourful the floral bedspread was when he said my name very softly. Like he was afraid I would break if he said it any louder. I looked up into his eyes and they were very near. He kissed her lightly on the lips and then deepened the kiss. I was caught by surprise but I instinctively kissed Sam back.
When he pulled away, I was so very tired and worn out. He sensed this, or heard my thoughts of it, and lifted his wrist up to her. Lucy started to refuse the offer of blood but Sam pushed her back on the bed so he was on top of her and forcing her legs still with his legs. In the process of pinning her to the bed, Sam had trapped both hands underneath her back and they were struggling to be set free. He then made a cut in his wrist with his nail and then forced it into Lucy’s mouth and squeezed at the cut to make blood ooze out of it into Lucy’s mouth.
At the first gulp of Sam’s blood, there was no stopping Lucy until she was forced back off of Sam’s hand. Until then, she was filled with the cool goodness of his blood which made her feel less tired and more awake like the words of magic had made her feel.
When she was forced to back off of Sam’s wrist, she instantly felt ashamed of herself. She had promised to herself ‘no more blood’ but when the taste hit her, there was no stopping her. It was then that she realized that she had to be prized off of Sam to stop her drinking him dry. As soon as she thought that, she slipped off her bed and into the bathroom. Locking the door behind her so Sam was sure to know not to enter. He could probably break the door down with a slight push but hopefully he would respect my privacy and leave
