Chapter 148

I wanted to protest. She was still hungry, but I was afraid that if I stopped her she'd attack. But the feeding was beginning to affect me. I felt strangely light and heavy at the same time, as if I could float through the air despite limbs that felt like lead weights were tied to them.

"Make her stop," Tony insisted.

I was alarmed at the feral look on Monica's face. "Monica!"

Monica paused in her feeding.

"Enough," I said.

She ignored me!

A sense of self-preservation flared up in me. "Enough!" I growled.

Slowly Monica released my wrist, and Tony moved off of her.

I wanted to hold her in my arms and rock her and kiss her, but I was forced to command her as if she was some zombie ghoul!

Tony stepped away from the bed. "You're her Master," he said, meaning that I needed to act like it.

My heart was breaking. I had her sit up, which she did with much more grace than she had used when attacking me. I covered her nudity with the sheet.
