I've been spoiling you with so many updates, haven't I? Have I been feeding you well?

But oh, I know a few of you that will love the next chapter. Some of you have been begging for something in particular.

You might say begging, spelled with a p.

Also:

THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SMUT. IF THAT IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA, FEEL FREE TO SKIP WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. THE SMUT OCCURS AFTER THE SECOND TIME SKIP, AFTER THE SYMBOL THAT I USE DOWN BELOW AND LASTS UNTIL THE END OF THE CHAPTER.

You sit in the dark alleyway with Abs, waiting for Romance and Mystery to return. It's hard to make them out from others with their masks and hats on, but you haven't seen them in a while.

You struggle against Abs as a human walks past the alleyway. Their soul is calling for you, and you're so hungry. There's a ravenous pit in your stomach that you need to fill.

Abs pins you back against his chest, grunting as you elbow his gut. "You can't take their soul. Gwi-Ma doesn't allow it. But you can feed off blood, if you'll just wait for Romance and Mystery. Just another minute, I promise."

"Abby," you plead. "Abby, I'm starving. Please."

He hesitates, grip loosening for a moment. But the moment is all that you need.

You scramble away from him and to the exit of the alley. There's a human there on their phone. They won't even see you when-

"Nope." Mystery shoves you back into the darkness, tilting his head. "None of that, now. We already told you that you needed to stay with Abs, didn't we?"

"We did," Romance confirms, landing next to you. He must have jumped from the rooftop based on the angle he fell from. There's a human in his arms that's limp. The only sign that she's still alive is that her chest rises and falls evenly.

Your eyes immediately lock onto her. You try to get to her, but Mystery straddles you and keeps you in place.

"Just a moment," Mystery softly says, entwining his fingers with yours. Your claws have slipped out in hunger. 

Romance arranges the woman's body so that she's propped up against the brick wall. He grins at you as he pads over and falls to his knees next to you. "I missed you, my love."

"Can we hurry up?" Abs prompts. "We really don't want to get caught."

"We should figure out an easier system," Mystery murmurs. "Maybe blood bags?"

"Mystery." You thrash and kick, hunger taking over all of your senses. You're too weak to actually put up much of a fight, so he doesn't even have to properly restrain you. "Mystery, I'm hungry!"

"Fine. Go ahead." Mystery lifts his weight off of you. "Your instincts will-"

You tune him out as you lunge for the human woman. Your fangs slide out to burrow themselves in her throat as you pull blood.

It's like nothing you've felt before. It's satisfying and you instantly understand how Romance so easily overfed. Everything is a blur and it's difficult to tell when enough is enough.

The taste fills your mouth, and it's not what you expected. It doesn't taste like metallic iron. It's dark and fulfilling.

Abs eases you away, wrapping his arms around you. "You're okay. Do you feel better now?"

You nod and swallow the last of your mouthful. "It- It's better."

"There's some on your lips." Romance cups your face gently, leaning in with hooded eyes. Then he slants his mouth over yours, tongue delving into your mouth to taste both you, and the woman's blood.
