Captain Zaila scoffed.
"You don't think sinking your fangs into them counts as hurting them?" She asked.
"A little pain for a lot of pleasure," Caius shrugged, "A fair exchange, I think."
"For who?" The Captain asked, "You or them?"
"Both," Caius answered easily, "Take away the threat of being drained of all blood, and it goes from a threatening act to a gentle, even loving one. The action itself already seems so close to a kiss, don't you think?"
Caius had dropped his voice to a low velvety thrum that made his already silky and ensnaring voice all the more potent. This wasn't something he usually did consciously but as his face was hidden behind a mask, he needed to rely on his other charms.
"I wouldn't know," Captain Zaila smiled and she truly looked amused, "I've never been taken by the perverse desire to be bitten by a vampire."
"Oh, you would love it," Caius said smoothly.
"I would?" Captain Zaila asked, almost intrigued.
