Cool Miami Nights

Chapter Eleven

Horatio and Calleigh sat quietly in the car, waiting for the crowd in front of the nightclub to thin. Finally, a lone couple was left standing on the curb awaiting a taxi. "Follow me, Sweetheart. When we get up in front of that couple, I want you to drop your purse, and then just follow my lead."

"Drop my purse? Oh, a distraction, got it." Horatio opened her door and helped her from the car, and then she followed him across the street. Calleigh purposely stumbled on the curb and dropped her purse at the man's feet. He bent to retrieve it for her, and Horatio took that opportunity to quickly glamour his girlfriend. As Calleigh was handed her purse, Horatio shook the man's hand and put him under the same spell.

"Follow us to our car and we'll take you home, no sense waiting for a cab." The couple followed silently, still under the vampire's spell. Horatio drove them to a secluded stretch of beach and began to give Calleigh quiet instructions. "Watch me, and do what I do." He stroked the woman's cheek and brushed her hair to one side before tilting her head and sinking his teeth into her neck. Her boyfriend was already fixated on Calleigh, trying to pull her to him for a kiss. Horatio looked in the mirror and hissed loudly as he saw his love being pawed. "DO it, Calleigh!"

She moved in and let her lips slightly graze the man's cheek, and then began to nuzzle his neck, licking her lips with anticipation. She ran her tongue along the throbbing artery before sinking her teeth into it, enjoying the spray of warm blood running down her throat. She drank hungrily until she heard Horatio's voice stopping her.

"Calleigh, that's enough. Lick the wound to close it up and I'll handle the rest."

"But, Horatio…"

"I said enough, Calleigh, you've already taken too much." She sighed and quickly closed the man's wound, and then watched Horatio go through the woman's purse and the man's wallet for addresses. "They live together, that's good. Let's get them home before the spell wears off."

By the time they had returned their victims to their bed, the eastern sky held a faint glow. They knew it was time to return to the safety of their lair and into the warmth of each other's arms. "I still feel like I need to feed, Horatio."

"As soon as we get home, love. The sun is starting to rise." They raced home and into the basement that was their daytime home. After supplementing their fresh blood feeding, they were ready to fall into bed. Calleigh began to remove her clothing in a slow, teasing manner, and Horatio was immediately at her side to assist her. "Let me help you with that." He began to finish undressing her, and then slowly removed his own clothing before beginning to worship her body. "You did well today, Calleigh, I'm very proud of you." He turned her around to see the golden glow of her eyes that matched his own. Lowering her to the bed, he began to run his hands over every inch of her body until she began to writhe under him, matching him touch for touch. When he was sure she was ready, he thrust himself deeply inside her, pushing deeper and harder with each thrust. As he began to feel her walls contract around him, he buried his fangs into her neck, sending their climaxes to new heights.

"Oh, my God, Horatio, that was amazing." She pushed him off her and onto his back, straddling his waist and impaling herself on his still rock hard sex. She rode him as hard as she could, pulling him almost out of her body before slamming down with each stroke. As she felt her climax building, she wanted to feel the strong climax again, so she bent down and sank her teeth into her lover's neck and drew his blood into her mouth. Her pace began to slow, but Horatio grabbed her by the waist and began to thrust upward with his super-human strength and speed, pushing them over the edge a second time. Calleigh release her grip on his neck, licking the wound quickly before screaming in ecstasy.

The next evening Horatio awoke just as the sun was setting. He woke Calleigh gently from her bloodlust-induced sleep. "Sweetheart, it's time to wake up."

She shook her head and turned over, mumbling through her tangled blonde hair. "I just got to sleep, it's too early. How do you even know the sun is down?" She put her arm over her head and buried her face in her pillow.

"Calleigh, your internal clock will adjust like mine has. Trust me, the sun is down and it's time to wake up."

"Slave driver."

A smile crept over his face and he pulled her covers from her, rolling over onto her back. "I'll show you just what a slave driver I can be." He covered her body with his and began to apply gentle kisses all over her neck and chest. As he began to suckle her breast, he gently pushed her legs open and slid into the warm, welcoming depths of her body. He pinned her hands above her head as he started to thrust deeply into her, skimming his razor sharp teeth across her breasts and licking the small droplets of blood as they began to form.

"Horatio…" She tried to pull her hands from his grasp, but he was stronger and would not grant her freedom. She smiled and released her fangs, sinking them gently into his upper arm and sucking softly, moaning in pleasure as he continued to control their lovemaking.

"Calleigh, let go, Sweetheart, you've hit a vein."

"Mmmm, I know." She continued to suck on his arm, savoring the sweet taste of his blood.

He pulled his arm roughly from her mouth. "Close the wound, Calleigh, we have to work tonight and I need my blood. Her eyes changed from the soft golden glow to a bright red, and he knew that to release her right now would be a mistake. "Calleigh, Sweetheart, calm down and close the wound." He continued to stroke gently in and out of her, hoping she would find release before she lost control. He knew he was looking at one hungry vampire. She looked into his eyes as she gently licked his arm until the wound was healed. He retracted his fangs, continued to suckle her breasts, and increased the speed and depth of his thrusts until he saw her eyes return to gold and her breathing become more ragged. "That's it, Calleigh, let it go, relax and let it happen." He moved one had from her arm and slipped it in between them and began stroking her hardened nub to quicken her release. That was all she needed.

"Oh, God, Horatio!" She turned her neck to the side, hoping for him to bite her again, but it never happened. She slipped her arms around his neck and held him close when they had finished. "What happened? Why did I react that way?"

"You're hungry, that's all."

"But last night…"

"Last night you had just fed on a human for the first time, and then we fed on each other as we made love. Basically, if you look at it in human terms, you're a bit hung over."

"Oh, that's just great."

"It will pass, Calleigh. Right now, you need to feed so we can get to work. We left early last night and you still have a lot of work to do to get that lab of yours back in order."

When they arrived at the lab later that evening, they found Eric still sleeping in the lounge, right where they had left him. "I guess I hit him a little harder than I thought."

Horatio shook his head and put his finger to his lips. "Eric!"

Eric jumped and fell off the sofa. "What the hell?"

"Is it a habit of yours to sleep in the lounge while on duty?"

He stood up and faced the couple. "I don't even remember coming in here? How long have I been asleep?"

"You said you needed some coffee and were heading here when we left this morning. Apparently, you've been here all day. If I were you I'd get up, splash some water on my face and get back to work, I still want those files you were supposed to have on my desk before you left."

"Well, technically I never left so…"

"Do NOT test me, Mr. Delko. If anything like this happens again you will be suspended without pay, do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal." He kicked the sofa before storming off to his lab.

After she made she he was out of earshot, Calleigh giggled. "Horatio, that was so mean. We were the ones who put him in here."

"Maybe he'll think twice about going into ballistics and putting his hands on my wife!"

"Horatio, no one knows that I'm your wife, but don't worry, I won't let him close enough to me to touch me again. You've got to teach me how to knock them out like you do so I can deal with him without you having to run across the lab every time there's a problem."

"I'll teach you, Love, just not yet."

"I know, I have to learn control first. I learned that lesson this morning the hard way."

"You'll be fine. Now, get to work, and call me if you need me."

She looked around before planting a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you."

He put his arm around her waist and pulled her to him possessively. "I love you, too, Sweetheart. Be careful today."

She sighed and kissed him again. "I will, Handsome."

He watched her as she made her way through the lab and to her lab. "I have a feeling this is going to be a long night." He muttered to himself.
