Human blood

"That part of the brain controls the same things in Vampires and in Humans."Alex continued his walking and talking and of course his roaming hands

"It controls your body temperature and your sexual behavior , hunger, attachment behavior, fatigue, sleep and thirst. But in Vampires it functions a little different. We can go for about eight days with out eating regular food. Our core temperature is about twenty degrees cooler than a human. Your core temperature is about 98.6 degrees and mine is about 75 degrees. Vampires are very sexual creatures , in Vampires it's a built in survival mechanism. Vampires don't reproduce like humans it's rare for a vampire to have more then one child."

He stopped and turned to see if she looked confused and continued. Sweetheart are you understanding what I'm saying.

"I think so Alex."

He held both her hands and looked deep into her beautiful eyes . He spoke clearly with a gently tone to his voice. "Ok, sweetheart tell me what you think I just said. I want to make sure you understand .Because like I told you. I want to be totally honest and open with you .Now tell me sweetheart what did I just say ?"

"Your saying we will need to have a lot of sex to have a baby ."

" Not just to have a baby sweetheart ,you will be the first thing I'll want to do in the morning. And the last thing I'll want to do at night ."

Her eyes grew wide, she gulped and her mouth formed a big "O" But no matter how hard she tried to speak no words came out of her mouth.

"Close your pretty little mouth sweetheart your making me want to do you right now."

Her eyebrows tugged together, as she was thinking about what he just said, wondering where this bold man came from.

Alex chuckled . "Any way as I was saying ,vampires don't get tired easily and we need much less sleep then humans. The thirst we experience is overpowering but its not for water it's for blood."

Alex sensed her fear he turned to face her again uttering kind gently words "Lexi darling please don't be frightened .I want you to know everything about vampires . Your going to be my Queen ,I want you to be ready to stand by your vampire husband . Can you handle the truth sweetheart?" He pulled her in for a gentle hug caressing her back and shoulders.

" I can Alex, that's all I need to hear just the truth."

" Now are you ok, If at anytime you feel uncomfortable or don't understand something tell me."

"Ok, if I have questions I will ask."

Pulling her closer to him he placed soft kisses on the top of her head and listen to her heart beat to make sure she wasn't afraid and she was calm enough to listen to the rest of the information she needed to know about vampires.

"What you see in movies isn't true, that's just made up crap. You may think all Vampires live in villages and cities ruled by vampires ,but they don't . You probably know some vampires, and don't even have a clue . Vampires who choose to live among humans are very well at hiding what they are."

Alex could tell she was thinking about what he just said , she tugged her brows together like she was in heavy thought.

"What's wrong sweetheart do you have a question?"

" Alex... why would vampires live among humans if they need to hide who they are?"

"Sweetheart , there are a lot of reasons. But the main reason is because they are married to humans , sometimes they may have found a better job . There are all kinds of different reasons. Your father and I have tried countless times to fund different programs to encourage more interaction between vampires and humans. But until we can eliminate the hate groups ,it's almost impossible to get people who are willing to take part in these programs ."

He turned around and continued walking with his hand on her hip. " You see most vampires now days have never tasted human blood. We drink blood from a glass the same way you drink milk from a glass. The blood we drink is from animals just like the meat we eat . And just like the meat from each animal has different taste ,so does their blood ".

She seemed pleased with this information they walked into the dining room and Alex pulled her chair .He takes his seat and continued with more information about vampires.

"Sweetheart you may think I drink a lot. But let me ensure you it takes a lot of alcohol to get a vampire drunk and it decreases the craving for blood. "Alex stated this simple fact as the maids started bringing in the food and placed a bottle of wine on the table .

Alex was going to explain why he said most vampires have never tasted human blood but his little pet got distracted by her pizza.

Alex didn't eat the pizza he had a blue rare steak. The maid brought a bottle of wine with dinner . She started pouring the wine in beautiful crystal wine glasses .

Lexi glared down at the wine, remembering the headache she had this morning. She just had to speak up she couldn't take another headache like that.

"Uh.. Alex can I have a cola?"

Alex chuckled, teasing her "What's wrong sweetheart,you really don't think I would let you get drunk again , do you? I promise, you turning into an erupting vomit volcano isn't anything I ever want to see again. So yes I can send the maid back to the kitchen for a cola."

The maid brought Lexi a cola and Alex a different glass of dark red wine . Lexi was enjoying her pizza ,and thinking about how much she was going to love living here with Alex .

He was giving her any thing she ask for. Her parents never let her drink cola. Hell they didn't even have cola in the castle.

Her mom was the cardo Queen . If food wasn't low fat, low sodium, and organic it never even passed through the Castle kitchen unless there was a special occasion.

The only time she got cola was when she went on ski trips with Karmen and Ethan . Then she started thinking about not being able to see her friends and family she became a little sad.

Alex was watching his little Pet and she seemed really happy. Then he noticed a frown on her beautiful little face. Something he didn't want to see, he wanted to spoil her, and dote on her, so she would only want to be with him, so he became her whole world .
