We fall asleep curled up together, my head on Tyler's chest. The morning brings a rush of sensations, both old and new. Tyler wants to snuggle and sleep some more. I feel hungry. Not exactly sure for what yet, but there is a definite ache in the pit of my stomach that needs attending to.
"The beginnings of blood lust, Zach. You can still eat food...for now. I suggest you do so and digest it before another day passes. After that, food will not digest in your body. Neither will a full blood meal. Not until your conversion is complete will you eat...feed for the first time. You will be very hungry by then; very full of the need to take in a blood meal. Very frightened of where that meal must come from. You will first have my own blood course through your veins. I will truly be your first 'taste'."
Oh, yeah. The seeding went just as Tyler said it would. The actual worst part, aside from my initial terror tantrum, was right at the end. He said I would pass out from the action of the metal prosthetic, and I did. It was an overwhelming feeling of over-stimulation, a bit of pain, a whole lot of anxiety...the works. I will say this. Tyler and I will be having a lot more anal sex when this is done. I can not get the vision of him and his 'taking' me out of my mind. What a night!
"Okay. Go eat something, already. Then come back to me. I have to...I want to drain your nuts. Got to get my DNA circulating there. I also want to eat something for myself!" Nice twinkle in his eyes with those words of inspiration.
Raw meat. It kind of straddles both groups - food and blood meal. I wonder... Oh! It's you.
"Okay. Let's see what happens with your breakfast choice."
I grab the package and rip into it. The slab of beef is cold, slippery, and heavy with blood. As it nears my mouth, the scent is overwhelming: and I drop it onto the counter, dazed.
"The scent will lead you to your prey with great reliability, Z. Before you take a meal, it will fill you with desire. The desire to satisfy your hunger comes in several waves and categories. Blood will be your food, and your hunger for it will be sated as you feed. Then there is the desire to gratify your sexual urges. Taking a meal, consuming the life force of your prey will inflame the lust within you. The lust to possess the body will drive you to your edge of control, and beyond. You will learn to hold yourself there until you return to me, and to our bed. We will consummate our union with an energy and a passion that neither of us yet knows."
That got me going. I pick up the bloody slab again and take a nice big bite. It is kind of hard to chew, but very, very tasty! I love it. My focus is locked onto this taste sensation, but I can hear Tyler laughing at my side. I stop for a moment and look at him. My mouth is dripping with blood. I have swallowed several pieces of the raw meat. What's so funny? Why are you looking at your watch and not me. Tyler! Oh. Crap.
"In the sink! Get it all out. That's it. Sit."
I barely make the edge of the chair and hold my head in my hands, elbows on the table. What...?
"Sorry, Z. But it was the best lesson I could think of to demonstrate both your progress, and your lack of completion. Rinse out. You can still eat and digest some 'regular' food - just do it now, and go easy. I really am sorry."
