Everybody here likes vampires: that's apparent.
They are sexy creatures, exuding dark sexuality, hinting at secrets of the universe, promising pleasure as they sink their fangs into any number of veins of their human, uh, willing partner (most of the time anyway).
That's the one downside. That pesky bite.
A vampire can make it pleasurable if they choose. Even the un-glamorable Sookie Stackhouse can enjoy it if it's done the right way.
She has experienced it the other way as well, and like everyone else, she prefers to enjoy it.
Before Bill and Eric used a bit of their own precious blood to instantly heal the wounds their bites left, Sookie had to wear bandannas around her neck to hide the holes.
You know the vamps had to know this trick for about as long there have been vampires, so why did it take Bill so long to do this small courtesy for Sookie?
Evidently Eric does it for her all the time, because I've never seen fang marks on her after one of their trysts.
Anyway, as someone who has had more than her fair share of needle sticks, I think a pair of fangs piercing skin would be extremely painful, at least at first.
What do vampires do to make it sound like a good idea? If it's not glamoring, what is it? Do that exude pheromones that make humans turn into willing victims of seduction by bloodshed? Do they whisper some magic words (Oh Sookeh, let meh bite yew? comes to mind in Bill's case. Maybe it varies by vampire. Eric's might be in Swedish.)? Is it part of the sexual thrall they throw off like an aura?
Seriously, I wonder.
It's got to be something that keeps you from screaming in pain, that relaxes you into the embrace of the owner of the fangs, that will keep you calm and happy while they drain you to the point of death.
Maybe they can release some sort of local anesthetic from their fangs at will, something so fast acting that it works from the time they extend their fangs to the moment they connect with your skin.
They should synthesize that and sell it to pharmaceutical companies. That is one hell of a local painkiller.
But, considering all things, I'd rather get it from a vampire, but only if I get to pick who does the biting.
Because Eric can sometimes be excitable, I think for a first bite, I'll try Bill.
Order up.
