New Ideas
                Adam’s front door bell rang catching his attention. He put down his guitar walking to the window finding Dani’s car parked below in the street. He buzzed her in and seconds later Dani came bounding up the stairs. This was interesting considering it wasn’t a delivery day and he’d have to twist her arm to get her to come to his place. “What’s wrong?”
                “Nothing! I have something for you. I couldn’t wait until Friday so I brought it to you tonight.” She walked passed him into the living room and he arched a brow following her. Dani sat down on the couch motioning for him to join her as she dug around in her backpack. “Since I have down time working night shifts, I’ve been working on this for months.”
                “Working on what?” Adam said watching as she pulled several things out of her pack.
                “Okay, you know how diabetics test their blood for sugar levels? They use one of these.” She showed him a meter. “Well, I’ve modified this one. Instead of checking for sugar levels, it checks for blood contamination. Anything that would be considered poisonous to vampires. Look.” She held out her hand, “You’ve fed tonight right?” Adam nodded and gave her his hand and she pricked his middle finger.
                Adam watched her closer as she punched one button and then the other showing him the result as it came up clear.
                “And if you don’t have a body to test, which we never do, just take one of the test strips and dip it into the blood.” She opened the small vile of blood she had brought with her in her pocket demonstrating as she spoke. “Put it into the meter here, and then press the same buttons, and . . .” The alarm went off clearly indicating it was contaminated and therefore poisonous to them. Dani handed it back to him. “Just in case you aren’t 100% sure about blood you have before you feed.”
                He looked it over thinking it was quite ingenious. “You made this yourself?”
                “Well, I modified it. I had to reprogram and recalibrate it. And here.” She took out a small black case taking the meter and putting it in, “It has its own case, with two spare batteries, test strips, and cleaning solution so you don’t cross contaminate if you’re testing more than one source.” She grinned, “And . . . it all fits right in your pocket.” She said handing it to him.
                Adam took it and half smiled looking at her, “Quite the industrious and clever phlebotomist, aren’t you.” Dani grinned.
                “Here.” She took out a second case that was Ivory colored. “I have one for Eve too. Can you send it to her? I don’t have her address.”
                He took it looking it over before slipping them both into his pocket, giving a nod. “It will make things much safer and easier. Thank you Dani.” He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. “Even though I strongly object to Zombie technology, I suppose it’s good one of us is well versed in it.”
                “Medical technology is nothing to sneeze at. I know you think society is just decaying in on itself, but the health field just keeps getting better.” She explained.
                “I don’t know about that. It wouldn’t have to get better if the Zombie’s didn’t continually find new ways to destroy themselves.” Adam grumbled.
                Dani wrinkled her nose at him playfully knowing he could rant for days once he started, “I’ll make upgrades when I can.” Dani stood picking up her bag putting it over her shoulder.
                Adam frowned, “Where are you going?”
                “Umm, Home? Sunrise is in an hour and fifteen minutes. I wanted to bring this out to you tonight before I went home. I was kind of excited about it.” She started to step over him to go but Adam caught her wrist and pulled her down onto his lap causing her to drop her backpack, “Hey!”
                “I’ve spent quite a few days at your place, I think it’s about time you spent one at mine. Don’t you think? This is where you should be living anyway.” He said wrapping an arm around her.
                “I have to work tomorrow night, Adam.” She said starting to get up but he wrapped his other arm around her holding her in place. “Come on, don’t do this to me.”
                He arched a brow, “What?”
                “This. This grabby, touchy thing you do.” She replied.
                “You don’t fuss when we spend the day together in your bed anymore.” He spaced his fingers together so she couldn’t pull his arms from around her.
                “Yeah, but that’s at my apartment in my room.” Adam looked at her. Dani groaned, “It’s just different, that’s all.”
                “You’re continuing to be childish I see.”
                “I am not!” She exclaimed crossing her arms. Dani frowned dropping her arms realizing she was throwing something similar to a tantrum proving his point. “The sun doesn’t come up for another hour. Don’t you have something you’d rather be doing that my being here in your way disrupts?”
                Adam smirked, “What are you so afraid of? Honestly?” Dani didn’t answer him. Every time this subject came up, it seemed like she just shut down. “Tell me.”
                Dani thought deciding what she was going to say, “It doesn’t feel right.” She rolled her eyes, “Well, it does feel right. It’s absolutely phenomenal.”
                “Then what is the problem? Why do you pull away from me? I’ve told you, Eve has told you, there is nothing wrong with any of this.” His hand moved to her lower back rubbing slightly. “You enjoy it. You rest better, and you have energy you wouldn’t have otherwise, as do I. So why continue to resist? It makes no sense.”
                “I never fooled around with married men when I was human. Sort of a rule that I rigidly stuck to. It’s hard to change that mind set, you know?” Dani wrapped her arms around herself.
                Her body language said there was more to this story that she wasn’t saying. “Something happened to make you think this way.”
               “A moral center maybe?”
               “Tell me what it was.” He said seriously starring at her.
                Dani sighed. She found it harder and harder to resist or disobey him. There was no point in it because he wouldn’t let it go. “My sister.” She admitted softly. “She had problems growing up. She was diagnosed manic depressive. Out of high school she got married and things went well for a while. But her husband ran around on her. A lot.”
                Adam sighed, it wasn’t a new story. It became more and more common among zombies as the decades rolled by. “That’s different, Dani. He betrayed her trust and lied to her. That is not the case here. Divorce is so common place among the zombies these days that . . .”
                “She killed herself.” Dani said causing Adam to fall silent. “She was so hurt over it, so distraught; she put a gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. I was 12 then.” She looked at him, “Guess who found her in the basement.”
                This explained volumes of questions that had gone unanswered. “That’s why you pull away from me. Why you’ve never had a relationship that lasted more than a few weeks before you dismiss them. You don’t trust men because of your sister.” He shook his head, “That won’t happen. Not with us. Eve cares about you, I care about you. We’ve lived for centuries we have been married for the past few. Nothing like this is going to happen to any of us. The whole point of all of this is for our well-being and survival. Would be somewhat counterproductive to live all that time and then end our lives over something so basic and necessary. Don’t you think?”
                “I suppose.” She said softly looking away. It was strange hearing someone who had a history of depression saying all of this.
                Reaching up he turned her face back towards him. “It’s time to move on from that midset into a new one. Embrace your new family and what we are offering you.”
                “So then what do I do?”
                “I must have told you a million and ten times already.” He pointed out.
                “Stop fighting you.” Adam half smiled causing Dani to smile and giggle. “That is almost a smile.”
                Adam patted her thigh, “Come on. Let’s have some dinner. You’re looking pale.”
                “I always look pale.”
                “But you don’t always look pasty.” Adam got up to get blood. “You look awful.”
                “With comments like that it makes it hard to believe you’re married.” She grumbled.
Dusk
                Dani started to walk passed Adam to go downstairs to what had been her room, “No.” He said reaching out and turning her around redirecting her upstairs to his room. Dani groaned and reluctantly went with him.
                “You know, I’d let you sleep in the guest bedroom at my place. It’s all gothed out with you in mind.” She said.
                “It’s a lovely thought but I prefer sleeping with you.” Dani paused and looked at him. Adam rolled his eyes taking her arm and leading her to his room closing the door behind him. Dani put her backpack down and took off her hoodie. She hadn’t had time to change out of her scrubs before leaving the hospital.
                “Have you heard from Eve?” Dani asked taking off her shoes and socks.
                “There is a time difference between Tangiers and Detroit.” He reminded her locking the door. He didn’t used to have a lock on his bedroom door but when Dani installed one on hers it seemed like a rather genius idea. “I take it you haven’t talked to her either.” He took off her shirt tossing it aside.
                “Not since last week.” She answered, “I’m always afraid to call her; I don’t want to bug her too much.”
                “You aren’t bothering her.” Adam said into her ear causing Dani to jump. She knew he’d been on the other side of the room, she hadn’t even heard him move. Dani turned looking up at him. “I know what you’re doing Dani and it isn’t necessary.”
                “I’m not doing anything; I’m getting ready for bed.” Dani said confused.
                He stepped closer and took the hem of her scrubs pulling her shirt off over her head tossing it onto the nearby chair. “Every time we get close you start talking about Eve as though using her as some kind of shield to protect you from God knows what. You don’t need to do it. It’s silly and rather ineffective.”
                He reached out starting to untie her bottoms causing her to bat his hands away, “Hey! Believe it or not I am old enough to undress myself! Sheesh!”
                “You so often have trouble with it I thought we’d skip that scene of stalling and insecurity today.” He said bluntly. She glared at him turning to her backpack and folding her work clothes so she could wear them that evening. Mostly just busy work as she was stalling yet again.
                Adam placed his hands on her bare skin gently moving over her cool soft back. Dani’s movements slowed feeling his strong touch. His hands moved to rest around her waist pulling her back against him. He nuzzled her ear as his hands moved around to her belly holding her to him a bit tighter. Dani closed her eyes instantly feeling more relaxed.
                She turned looking up at him again and Adam cupped her face looking into her mysterious, unique but bewitching eyes. He drew her against him and she rested her face to the nape of his neck nuzzling him back as her arms wrapped around him as well. The feel of skin against skin was heavenly. Dani’s hands caressed his strong firm back as his roamed over hers. She hated to admit it but he made her feel safe, like he was the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle that was now her life, and made her feel complete. In moments like this one it was hard for her to understand why she resisted so much.
                Adam half smiled feeling and hearing the rumble of a purr deep within her she most likely didn’t even realize she was making. Noises like that and growling took some time to learn how to control and keep from making them but he didn’t mind it. He actually enjoyed hearing the sounds she made. They told them more about how she was feeling then she did. His hand moved to cradle her head against him enjoying the feel of their bodies touching.
                Then he released her taking her hand leading her to his bed sitting her down then sitting next to her. Dani took off the rest of her scrubs tossing it over with the rest of her things, as did Adam. Both got onto the bed before their arms wrapped around each other again as they lay down, cuddling up tight continuing to caress one another.
                Dani was completely comfortable and content starting to drift off to sleep when Adam with one rather expert move, unhooked her bra. Her eyes opened as his hands moved over her bare back. He nuzzled her shoulder then tasted it lightly flicking his tongue over her cool skin. He slipped the strap down over her shoulder his tongue tasting her again. When she felt the sharpness of his teeth against her she pushed away from him sitting up. Adam had been anticipating this and wrapped his arm around her to keep her from bolting.
                “We had a deal.” She said trying to move from his grasp, “I’ll sleep downstairs and leave as soon as it’s safe outside.” She struggled harder but he just held her down far stronger then she was. “Adam!”
                He let her struggle a while longer before reaching up and cupping her face holding her head firmly in his hands looking into her eyes, “It’s alright.” He said seriously to calm her down. He’d seen this with her before. She was prone to anxiety attacks since she was turned, and it was usually him who triggered them.
                “Adam.” She said swallowing the lump in her throat, “Just let me go. Please.” She begged.
                He just continued to look into her eyes holding her still. She didn’t really want him to let her go, he knew it and so did she. “It’s alright.” He repeated in a gentler tone then before. When she stopped, he kissed her forehead and laid her back against the pillows. Her bra fell away and he tossed it from the bed.
                Dani shivered as Adam’s hands caressed her breasts massaging them in his strong hands. She closed her eyes when his hands moved down her body and pulled her underwear from her hips down her legs and tossed them to the floor as well. Dani could hardly bare it and covered her face with both her hands.
                He began to caress and nuzzle his way back up her body, leaving no spot unattended, cherishing each and every inch of her form. Laying over her, he wrapped his arms beneath her resting his head to her chest embracing her tight. Raising his head he gently pried her hands away from her face, “Shhh.” He cooed gently, seeing her eyes remaining tight shut. He rested his cheek to her cheek pressing his body to hers, wrapping his arms around her again.
                Their legs entwined, Adam rolled them on their sides, still holding Dani tight. She was so completely conflicted. She couldn’t lie; lying with him like this completely unclothed and wrapped around each other was pure bliss. She never felt calmer and more at peace then when he was close. She pretended to ignore the despair and emptiness she felt almost every moment of every day except when he was there. She’d tried medication but it had absolutely no affect on her. Most likely because she wasn’t human anymore. There was nothing else that made that horrid feeling go away, except Adam.
                Without realizing it she began to nuzzle him back and the purr began again.
                “Not as bad as you imagined, is it.” He whispered into her ear his cheek resting against hers.
                “I was afraid this was going somewhere else.” She admitted quite embarrassed. There was a long pause of silence causing her to open her eyes. “It’s not going anywhere else. . . . right?”
                “Not today. I’m fully aware that you aren’t ready for that level of intimacy.” He answered, “I won’t push you that far. Yet.”
                “Somehow, that doesn’t make me feel better.” She said under her breath.
                “Dani.” Adam said leading back just enough so he could look at her, “Are you a virgin?”
                “What? No!” She said thinking that a rather personal and embarrassing question.
                “Are you a prude?” He asked.
                “I don’t think I am . . ."
                “Am I repulsive to your eyes to repel you so much?” He questioned.
                “Of course not . . .” She began to say.
                “Have I ever hurt you? Given you any reason not to trust me?”
                “Is this line of questioning going somewhere?” She was already feeling a bit foolish at this point.
                “Then why such horror when I hold you close? Touch you?” He brushed his fingertips against her face, “Taste you?”
                “I told you already, about my sister and what happened to her because of her husband?” She reminded him.
                “No, this is something else. Because Eve and I have both told you that this will never affect our relationship. You are family Dani, we want you with us. I want you with me.” He said sternly. “There’s more. What haven’t you said?”
                Were it still possible, her entire body might have blushed dark red. “I don’t want to get attached. I don’t . . . .” She sighed, “I like you Adam. I always have.” She finally admitted to her embarrassment, “I don’t want to get more attached then I already am when nothing can ever come of it.”
                Adam studied her face a moment before he half smiled stroking her hair and then her cheek. “I’m never going to love you in the way I love Eve. It just isn’t possible. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t love you, Dani. Because I do.”
                “Really?” She said softly. “You do?”
                “I have never, in the entire span of my existence, put up with so much nonsense from anyone. You say that I make your life a living hell? Dear, you have dragged me through the 7^th circle by the foot.” He held his hand up a moment, and she put her hand against his and he laced his fingers with hers holding it tight. “I saved you, and we made you because I wanted you. Don’t ever doubt that for a moment.” He kissed her forehead. “You are mine after all.”
                Dani listened to his words looking into his eyes and smiled softly. It felt as though a weight had been lifted off of her.
Faking life
                “How long until you have to attempt this farce?” Adam asked.
                “Friday is the deadline, all staff physicals are due. It’s mandatory for all medical personnel. Especially those of us who work with bodily fluids like blood in the lab on a daily basis. It never even crossed my mind that this was going to be a problem.” Dani clicked print and reached over retrieving the document with her results. “This is so weird. Like I’m trying to beat a drug test when I’m actually faking . . . being human.”
                “You’re tempting fate with this sort of stunt, Dani. Do you have any idea what could happen to you if you’re found out?” He asked.
                “I can imagine. I actually have cable.” She said, “It’s possible they know about vampires already anyway and are just keeping it quiet.”
                “Probably, but unless you want to be a lab rat you need to be cautious.” Adam said.
                “I’ve been working on this for weeks, Adam. I drew my own blood and swapped it out for healthy human blood, along with everything else. It’s all taken care of.” Dani reassured him.
                “I hope you’re right.” He was wary of the entire situation. She put the papers with her things before looking at him.
                “Hungry?” She asked.
                “You haven’t eaten yet?”
                “I have, but I have a few bags nearing the expiration date and I don’t want them to go to waste. They need to be eaten.” She answered.
                He arched a brow, “How much do you have?”
                “Four pints.” She grinned mischievously, “Want to?”
                Adam smirked before following after her.
Tipsy
                Adam lay on Dani’s bed quite comfortable and Dani laid across it, her head resting on his thigh.
                “How did you end up with so much extra?” He said putting his empty glass aside then resting his hand on her head.
                “They added two more stops to my route. I’m think I can cut down on how much I take unless you need more?” She asked looking up at him.
                He smiled slightly stroking her hair, “You keep me well supplied.”
                Dani stretched her back and started to sit up but flopped back to the bed giggling. Her body felt all rubbery like jello. She started to get up again only to fall back to the mattress face down laughing. Adam smiled finding it amusing to see her so buzzed on the blood they’d had. Two pints was hardly anything. Reaching down he pulled her up to wrap his arm around her resting her head against his chest.
                “If this is you on just two pints, I can only imagine what you’d be like if we still drank from humans. 8 to 12 pints wasn’t it?” He rubbed her shoulder.
                “How did you and Eve manage to drink that much at one time? It seems like you would get full and . . .” A knock came to the front door of her apartment, catching their attention. They starred in silence towards the door then the knock came yet again.
                “Who is that?” Adam demanded.
                “I have no idea?” She looked at the clock, “It’s almost 3am, it must be important.” She started to get up but fell off the bed.
                Adam rolled his eyes standing up, “I’ll get it.”
                Unlocking the bolts on the front door, Adam jerked it open finding a man standing there holding some flowers. The vampire didn’t say anything just waiting for an explanation of why he was here in the middle of the night.
                William just stared at him wide eyed a little stunned having been expecting Dani to answer. Adam was a tall, slim, handsome figure with somewhat dingy long dark hair and striking eyes. Most of all, he was in Dani’s apartment this time of night, half undressed in the middle of the night.
                “Um . . . is Dani, home?” Adam just glared at him, “I’m a friend, from work. William? I know it’s kind of late, but she hasn’t been returning my phone calls and . . . .”
                “Take the hint.” Adam said abruptly slamming the door in his face.
                William just stood there stunned not having realized she was seeing someone else.
                Adam was thoroughly annoyed that he’d come so late at night to Dani’s apartment. It was quite obvious what he was looking for and it wasn’t to have tea. He went back to Dani’s room closing and locking the door tight. She’d managed to get back to her feet but she was still very giggly.
                “Who was it?” She asked sitting down cross legged on the bed.
                “Wrong door.” He replied simply sitting down next to her. “Honestly Dani, I expected you could hold your blood better than this.” He said pulling her further onto the bed so she didn’t fall again.
                “I never drink this much, you’re always saying that conservation is key.” She said reaching over and poking his belly button. He caught her hand pulling her closer and opening her eyes looking into them.
                “Maybe it affects you differently for some reason.” He said opening her mouth seeing her teeth were still long and sharp but not as long as they were before. “It shows in your eyes when you’ve had more then you need.”
                “Well doesn’t it show in your eyes too?” Dani asked.
                “Not like it shows in yours.” He arched a brow when she stuck her tongue out at him. She was so goofy. “Probably shouldn’t have heated it up so much before feeding.” She must have been quite the person to drink with when she was still human.
                “Hey!” She said rolling over and grabbing her phone and the remote to her TV off her nightstand before rolling back to him. “Can we call Eve? She shouldn’t be asleep yet, should she? It’ll give me a chance to show you my new set up.”
                “I’m not certain that’s a good idea right at this moment.” She was acting so strangely he imagined that he would have to explain to Eve just why she was being this way.
                “Oh come on, come on, come on, I wanna show you this. It’s so cool.” Adam sighed and rolled his eyes and she grinned turning on her TV, “It’s kind of like the set up you have but I don’t need a laptop. My phone connects directly to the receiver on the flat screen over there. It’s built into the webcam.” Dani rolled onto her back and held the phone over her head dialing Eve’s number.
                After a few rings she picked up seeing Dani’s number. “Hello darling, did you get your new system set up?” She asked.
                “Yup!” A moment later, Eve appeared on the screen turning her camera on her phone on.
                “There you are my darlings.” She said with a bright smile happy to see them.
                “Hi Eve!” Dani said waving as she rolled over but then fell off the bed off screen. Adam watched her before looking back at Eve.
                “Is she drunk?” Eve asked.
                “Apparently.” Adam said in a low voice.
                “I’m okay!” Dani said from the floor holding her hand up. “Just gonna . . . you know, rest here for a few minutes.”
                Eve thought that incredibly strange and just looked at Adam. “How did that happen?”
                “Not entirely certain.” He leaned over looking down at her, “And now she’s asleep.” He said with a sigh. He looked back at Eve, “There wasn’t even any alcohol, just blood.”
                “How much?”
                “Two pints, heated.” He said shaking his head, “I never had such a reaction. Have you?”
                “Not that I’m aware of, but it’s been quite a while. We may have both felt such a way when we were first turned on a large amount. We don’t exactly altogether keep our senses with the limited supply we feed on now. Oh.” She held up the case that held the meter that Adam had sent her. “This arrived just a few days ago. It’s wonderful.”
                Adam smiled, “Isn’t it?” He said trying to hide how proud he was of Dani for coming up with it. Eve smiled knowing full well how he felt. “She’s finally accepted what she is now. Accepted nearly everything.”
                “Nearly?” Eve asked.
                “Well, we sleep together when I come to see her or the exceedingly rare occasion when she comes to see me. And that’s all.” He grumbled slightly.
                Eve laughed a little, “You can’t rush her sweetheart, it takes time. I’m just glad you have someone there to keep you company. Each time I speak with you, you always have something new to share. And you seem happier.”
                “Happier?” He said scoffing slightly. “You left me here raising a child on my own. I find myself more frustrated with her on occasion then I am with the Zombies and what they are doing to the world.”
                She smiled, “Darling, you have been doing so well. She’s adapting to her new life, and I can see and hear the wonderful changes in her. That’s all because of you.”
                “Maybe. But the struggle does get tiresome at times.”
                “I know. But it’ll be worth it. Especially if she continues to come up with devices like this that are going to help us survive and navigate this strange world that has been created around us.” She said. “Any supply problems?”
                “Not even remotely. That’s why the feast tonight, she had too much this month that needed to be drunk before it went bad.” He explained. “Course if she didn’t, I wouldn’t have known about this.” He said motioning to the girl passed out on the floor.
                “I’m sure it’s harmless, love. Just be patient.” She encouraged. “It’s a new experience for both of you.”
