Baser Urges

Focusing my attention beyond Edwards shoulder I gather the courage to speak.

“Feeding from a distance is when I feed on the lust of others without touching or actively participating. A true feeding, as I’m sure you can figure out, is where I have to touch and actively participate.”

There, that wasn’t so hard. Now if I never have to look him in the face again I’ll be fine.

“Look at me.”

Damn. I don’t think so. “Why?”

“Look at me…please.”

Reluctantly, I meet his eyes with mine. “What?”

Edward just looks at me as if he’s trying to decide something. It just makes me get angry. Good, it’s easier to meet his eyes when I’m mad.

“What?!”

“Only once a week?” Edward smirks at me, “I think it would be daily considering your Harem.”

The smirk did it, now I’m pissed. “Fuck you, Edward.”

“Why, is it time for your weekly feeding?”

“That’s it! I’m done with this conversation.” I say as I jump off the bed.

Edward grabs my arm and attempts to pull me back beside him. One look at my face had him letting go of my arm. “Anita, please. I’m sorry for picking on you about it, but I couldn’t resist.”

I sit in a huff. “Try harder.”

“So, basically what you’re telling me is that you need to have sex at least once a week. Don’t get angry,” he holds his hands up in a gesture of surrender, “I’m just trying to clarify the facts.”

“Yes, that is what I mean. The ardeur hits me about once every six hours if I eat regularly. So long as I feed from a distance three of those four times a day, I generally have a better hold on my control. With feeding from a distance and only fully satiating it once a week I don’t know how my control would hold up. I’ve never tried to go that long before. I’m working up to it.”

Gee isn’t that a great explanation. Now I just need to go on the tour.

“So you don’t know if you can actually go with having sex once a week?”

Didn’t I just say that? “Well, in theory, yes. In practice no but that’s not the only problem. If it’s once a week, I can feed on only one person, but for a daily feeding one person probably would not be able to handle it. I don’t think I want to test the theory. So, you see the issue I have with just packing up and leaving without anyone.”

“You know that we can’t bring anyone with us. The more people with us, the more likely they are to be injured and I will have my hands full enough trying to help you kill Olaf.”

I have to pause. I hate the thought that Olaf would torment the people I care about but I don’t have a choice. I sigh, he so does not understand this. Ok, let’s try again.

“Edward, as much as I hate it, I can NOT leave without at least one person to have sex with. I know they will be a liability but it’s a MUST, not a want.

” “I do understand. But NO ONE is going with us.”

“Then who will I feed on?” He better have a good answer for this one.

“Me.”
