***********************************************************************

The next morning Ethan awoke from the best night of sleep he had ever had, looking down he was surprised to find Sera still asleep on his chest and her leg now wrapped around his. In the past he would have found this uncomfortable, but with Sera not only did if feel good it felt right. Not wanting to wake her Ethan took this time to think about the events of last night, part of him still confused at how things turned out. Dealing with Sera had never been easy and after the events of last night they never would be. Also, the sex had been unbelievable, Ethan could confidently say it was the best sex he’s ever had in his entire life. But it also confused him, like most men, Ethan was used to being the one in control when it came to sex. That’s not to say he’s never let a woman take charge or the initiative before, but even when they did, he always still felt like the one control. In the past one of his girlfriends had asked him to give BDSM a try, but he quickly found he was not into it at all. Even as a dominate he found no pleasure in the absolute control over his submissive and they quickly broke up sometime after. Last night, Sera had been the one in complete control and not only had Ethan been okay with it, it felt good as well.

‘Am I a submissive now?’ Ethan thinks to himself.

Ethan tries picturing Sera doing some light bondage on him but quickly recoils at the image, getting no pleasure from it.

‘Guess not.’

Sera begins to stir on his chest, and he could sense that her eyes were open.

“Morning.” Ethan offers in a soft voice.

Sera wraps her arms around Ethan before replying in a sleepy tone, “Morning.”

“Want me to make us some breakfast?” Ethan asks.

Sera’s arms tighten around Ethan, “No, you feel good and I’m too comfortable to move.”

Ethan chuckles softly and begins combing his finger through Sera gorgeous red hair, which elicits a happy sigh from her. Ethan again contemplates how quickly follows her whims and doesn’t even attempt to get up. She was clearly the dominant force in their relationship, the hand combing through Sera’s hair stops.

‘Relationship? Is that what this is?’ Ethan wonders.

“What’s wrong?” Sera asks, looking up at Ethan, her eyes now back to normal and full of worry.

“Nothing.” Ethan reassures with a smile, his hand once again moving through Sera’s hair. “I just felt I should tell you that I’m not really into all that bdsm stuff.”

Sera looks at Ethan in confusion, “What? Neither do I, where is this coming from?”

“Well, its just that you were so forceful, and you clearly liked being in control, so I figured…”

Sera rolls her eyes and smirks in chagrin, “Just because I like being on top doesn’t mean I want to bust out the whips and chains.”

“Your right, I’m sorry.” Ethan apologizes.

“Although now that I think about it, the thought of you handcuffed to my bed does sound appealing.” Sera states with a smile, her eyes glowing for a brief second indicating her arousal.

To which Ethan could only swallow loudly.

“I’m joking.” Sera smiles.

Ethan quirks his eyebrow in disbelief.

“Okay, half joking.” Sera admits.

Ethan chuckles, “Earlier you looked worried, why?”

Sera’s smile fades and she looks away in shame, lifting herself up with her elbows.

“I bit you.” Sera softly states.

“Oh, that right you did.” Ethan replies, having completely forgotten.

Ethan sits up and looks back at his bed; there were only small traces of blood on the bed cover.

“Not much of a mess so that’s good.” He then touches his neck and feels a small ache. “It’s a bit tender, but nothing painful.”

“Is that really all you’re going to say?” Sera asks angrily.

“I…I don’t know what you want me to say.” Ethan replies, surprised by Sera’s sudden anger.

“Ethan, I bit you, I drank your blood!” Sera cries out.

Ever since Diane told Ethan of Sera’s vampiric nature, he had just come to accept that about her, never once questioning it.

“Sera, Diane told me your half-vampire, I knew this was a possibility.” Ethan tries to assuage her.

“You don’t understand…I don’t drink blood; I’ve never needed to.” Sera states looking at Ethan with tears in her eyes.

Seeing the tears in Sera’s eyes Ethan felt like he had been punched in the gut.

“When I was younger, I found that I did not inherits a vampire’s taste for blood, human or vampire, to me it just tasted like normal blood which was not good at all if not downright disgusting. But I was okay because I found that through magic, I could sustain myself just fine.” Sera explains.

“So, last night?” Ethan questions.

“Last night was the first time I’ve drank blood in years, not since I was a child. I don’t know what came over me, but the part that upsets me the most is that…I liked it.” Sera whispers the last part.

“What?” Ethan asks, barely hearing her.

“I liked it! Your blood is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, and it scares me because I don’t want to hurt you!” Sera cries.

“Hey, who are you, and what did you do to the cold-hearted witch I’ve come to know and respect.” Ethan gently jokes, stroking Sera’s arm in comfort.

Sera can’t help but snort at Ethan’s bad joke.

“And I think we’re past you hurting me.” Ethan states, referring to their past encounters.

“You know what I mean.” Sera states in frustration.

Not knowing what else to do, Ethan grabs Sera and rolls her onto her back.

“What are y-!”

Sera is cut off as Ethan begins kissing her, it doesn’t take long for her protest to dissipate, and she begins kissing him back whole heartedly.

After a few minutes Ethan breaks the kiss, “Are you back to normal yet?”

Sera sighs and replies, “Not quite.”

Sera then rolls Ethan on his back and begins kissing him, this time taking charge, kissing him deeper and harder.

After a while Sera breaks the kiss and watches as Ethan struggles to catch his breath, “Now, I’m back to normal.” Sera smiles, having reestablished her dominance.

Ethan shakes his head in amusement, “I’m glad.”

For a moment both Sera and Ethan just look at each other in silence, knowing that things between them have changed but also knowing it didn’t change the situation at hand.

“I still want the necklace and the file.” Sera states.

“I know.” Ethan replies.

“But you’re not going to give them to me.”

“No.”

Ethan reaches up and caresses Sera’s face, “So what happens now?”

Sera leans into Ethan’s touch “I have no idea.”
