"Indeed I can," Eve murmured, switching the tea bag she was going to use. She smiled at Valerie holding her hand, and she sighed quietly. "Are you tired?" she asked, setting the kettle on the stove and turning the heat on it. She was about to ask something else, but just as her lips parted, Valerie nipped at her, and Eve's eyes automatically closed. "Oh, darling," she murmured, "are you feeling a bit extra today?"
"Little bit," Valerie answered both of Eve's questions. She was a little tired even though she didn't want to be, and she couldn't deny her thirst at the moment. She nipped at Eve again, slightly more purposeful than earlier now that she had admitted it. Val let out a little hum as she let her eyes shu and murmured, "Been a few days since I properly fed. Talking about tea reminded me of that fact."
Eve inhaled slowly and bit back a moan as Valerie nipped again. She leaned forward and set a timer on the stove before turning to face Valerie and wrapping her arms back around her partner as well. "Oh? And is this your way of telling me that you'd like to feed again?" Eve looked down the few inches and met Valerie's eyes with a bit of anticipation evident in her own.
"Possibly," Valerie looked back up at Eve. A slight, almost sheepish, grin was on her face before it turned to a more flirtatious one as she realized what Eve was implicating. She buried her nose into Eve's neck as she nuzzled it for a moment. She lightly pressed a kiss on Eve's neck before nipping at it again, a little more forceful, but being careful enough not to draw blood knowing she would possibly lose it if that happened. That and she didn't want to hurt Eve. She murmured into Eve's neck, "Would you be willing, my dear?"
Eve smirked as Valerie put together what she'd meant. As Valerie continued to nuzzle and kiss and nip at the sensitive skin on her neck, Eve swallowed and gasped, doing her best not to have any bigger reactions. Not yet. "I'm always willing for you," Eve murmured, using her grip on Valerie's waist to pull the slightly smaller vampire closer against her body.
"Mmmm," Valerie hummed against Eve's neck as she nipped once more. She pushed herself up against the taller girl given how the younger was pulling her in. Eve's walls were wearing down, but Val had to have her fun. She planted a light kiss where she had nipped at the skin before letting her fangs scrape once more, "After tea then? Or can you not wait that long?"
Eve whined softly as Valerie's fangs brushed her neck. The memories involving those fangs were too many to count and often too illicit to speak of. She swallowed again forcefully and sighed. "I can wait, I suppose, but not much longer if you keep this up."
"But where's the fun in that?" Valerie asked in an all too innocent voice. She knew what she was doing to her little human and it just made the interaction all the more enjoyable. She gave one final nip letting her fangs stay there for a moment longer than the others before pulling away, "However, I will stop for now."
Eve exhaled long and slow when Valerie pulled away. "You're a relentless tease," she complained, turning back to the kettle to check on it. "Don't you ever get tired of stringing me along with your comments?" She cleared the timer and set another one. The water was boiling a bit faster than she usually set it to. She readjusted the temperature dial and glanced at Valerie with arched eyebrows.
"Nope," Valerie responded almost giddily as she hugged Eve from behind once more pushing herself entirely against the other. The teasing and leading on was her favorite part of acquiring her next meal. It was always so much fun. And if she couldn't go out and trick some other poor soul, who would end up dead and unsatisfiedby the end of the night unlike her precious little Eve, then she would just have fun here. She flashed her fangs as she looked at Eve, "But don't lie deary, you know you love it."
Eve groaned in the back of her throat. "Damn you," she muttered. And she did love it. Eve knew Valerie knew she loved it, though Eve would never admit it out loud. It was the way she responded to Valerie's every touch, every kiss, every bite that proved no matter how her lover was touching her, Eve was satisfied. "So," she said, clearing her throat a bit, "chamomile? I wasn't aware that was your favorite kind of tea."
"It's not, but I knew it was one of the only teas we have that would do what I wanted it to do," Valerie hummed. She had a light smirk on her face knowing exactly what she was doing to Eve, even if the other refused to admit it. It was part of her vampiric charm, and did she put it to work for her. She pressed a kiss to the back of Eve's neck, "By the way, you need to go out and get more tea soon.
"Then what is your favorite tea–" Eve asked, but she inhaled sharply at Valerie's kiss. "Darling, what happened to stopping?" she asked lightly, not minding at all that Valerie's touch continued. The kettle chirped, and Eve lifted it from the stove to pour the liquid into a teapot. "I will, dearest, I will," she promised, letting the smell of the tea envelope her. She sighed happily. "It smells like home."
"I never said I would completely stop," Val replied pressing another kiss to Eve's neck. She could smell the brewing tea and relaxed ever so slightly at the smell. It reminded her of Eve and the fresh taste her blood usually had. Mainly from the extreme amount of tea she consumed. She let out another hum as she kissed once more, "It reminds me of you. Any tea does really."
Eve flushed a bit and bit her tongue so she wouldn't moan. God… Valerie's neck kisses… "All part of my plan, really," she said, pouring the tea into two delicate cups. "Now you won't be able too top thinking of me whenever you walk down one aisle at the supermarket." She took her cup in her fingers and took a longing sip. "Ah…" she sighed. "And the tastes reminds me of home too. I miss London, as putrid as it could occasionally be."
Val gave one last kiss before pulling away to take the tea from the countertop. She had a soft smile on her face as she took a long drink, making eye contact with Eve the entire time. Just because she couldn't tease Eve with the physical contact at the moment, she could at least tease Eve in other ways. She flashed a fanged grin at Eve licking her lips of the tea that remained there, "I suppose I won't be able to think of anything else. Also don't you love it here too? Or else we could head to my London estate, it's been some time since I've dropped by."
Eve flushed, feeling Valerie's intense gaze on her while she sipped her tea, and she nearly choked seeing Val's fangs. No matter how many times she saw them, they always invoked the most erotic memories in her mind…
She quickly shook her head to dismiss the intrusive thoughts, but her eyes instantly brightened. "Oh, darling, that would be wonderful!"
Val flashed Eve another fanged grin as she perked up a little bit. She would have to start making plans for the move right away or at least collect the things she wished to take along to her London house. She took another sip from her tea before responding brightly, "Then it shall be done!"
Eve grinned. "I could show you around. I always forget about your estate there… I could show you my house, where my sister lives… the best little tea shop that hardly anyone knows of…" She trailed off, flushing a bit more. "Sorry," she murmured. "I'm being a bit much, aren't I?"
Valerie stared wondrously as Eve began to ramble about her home town a soft smile on her face. She leaned over to lightly kiss Eve on the cheek before leaning away to sip her tea once again, "You could never be too much dear. Now hurry up and finish your tea, didn't I promise you something after tea?"
Eve smiled and flushed even more – if that was possible. She waved her hand in front of her face, willing her blush to go away. "Indeed you did," she purred, sipping the remaining amount delicately and setting the cup down on the counter.
Valerie let out a low chuckle at Eve's reaction before finishing off the rest of her tea as well. She had a sly grin on her face as she put her cup on the counter and approached Eve slowly letting her face angle towards Eve's neck letting her fangs show as they grew ever so slightly in size, "Now then darling, should we take this to the bedroom? Or maybe your far too impatient and I should just take care of it here."
Eve tilted her head back to expose the tender skin of her throat as Valerie approached. Shivers shot down her spine, and the motion of her swallow was emphasized. Her heart was already beginning to race, and she inhaled swiftly. At Val's tone, she felt her fingers begin to tremble with anticipation. "The bedroom," she answered, not trusting herself to say more.
Val lightly kissed and nipped at her neck as she heard Eve's reply. It didn't stop her from doing this a few more times letting Eve know what exactly was to come. This was the part Valerie loved. The teasing the anticipation the knowledge of what was to come but wasn't happening yet. And she reveled in every moment of control. She murmured against Eve's neck after another kiss and nip, "Alright. Now should I carry you there? Or let you walk all by your lonesome?"
Eve gasped and whimpered already and they hadn't even left the kitchen yet. Oh, God… she was enchanted by Valerie, intoxicated and obsessed with her. The vampire had marked her as a thrall, and Eve had slowly begun to learn what that meant, starting with who was in control. "Who said I'd be by my lonesome?" she managed to ask, reaching down and slipping her fingers through Valerie's.
