It was a dark, and rainy night as a car drove into the large gates of the Delacroix Manor. It pulled up to the door, as the driver got out of the car and walked around to the back and opened the door as a tall dark black cloaked figure exited from the car. She walked to the door and knocked three swift knocks, as a house elf let her in. She walked through the door of the manor she'd been in many, many times before. She removed her hooded cloak and handed it to the elf, who only nodded, "I shall go inform the master your here Miss Malfoy..If you would please go wait in the sitting room." He said, and Aphrodite nodded and started for the room, her seven inch heels clicking on the floor and echoing throughout the first floor as she walked. She entered the room and sat down on one of the couches, her short skirt rising up and showing off her long pale legs.
She wasn't sure what made her come to his house, perhaps it was because Draco and Astoria were being all lovely dovey, and she felt like a third wheel and not really wanted. And other then Draco Crispin was her only real friend, unlike everyone else who just befriended her because of her wealth or social standing. Aphrodite couldn't even remember why she and the dueling professor had split in the first place, but he seemed happy now so that was good. The same house elf entered the room, "He will be here momentarily. Could I bring you anything?" He asked, and Aphrodite thought for a second, "Some tea would be good." She said, and watched as the elf turned and started walking away to get it for her.
Aphrodite was trying to clean up her life, stop the drinking and the partying, so far she was doing good. But she wasn't stupid, she knew it would take time to make people forgot a reputation as bad as hers was. She leaned back and looked around the room, recalling all the nights she'd spent here, and all the memories this very room had held for her. It was then she became nervous, she hadn't really talked to Crispin since they went different ways, how would he react to her? Would he welcome her? Or would he kick her out? Aphrodite hadn't even thought how her coming here could affect his relationship with his new girl.. She rose to her feet, maybe she should just leave.

Crispin had been in his office going over paperwork. While he was away at Hogwarts, things seemed to build up quickly at home. Employees wanting higher wages. New equipment needed. Supplies. Bills... it never seemed to end. Right now he was going over his profits. They always made him feel better about the amount of money he spent. The harvest had been good this year. He heard the knock at the door and though nothing of it really. Muggles would not be hear this late and a witch or wizard would be fine with a house elf. He did however start to close files and put things away. His finances were no ones business but his own.
When the house elf arrived at the door to his office, Crispin looked up from the papers. 'What is it?" The vampire asked softly. He was not fond of house elves but at the same time, was not a cruel master. "Master," The elf said without hesitation. "You have a visitor, Young Miss. Malfoy. She is in the sitting room." Crispin arched an eyebrow. Aphrodite? He had not seen her in some time. The girl had been rather important to him at one point. But she seemed set on destroying her own life at any chance she had.
Crispin had a tall crystal goblet of crimson blood sitting on the desk near his right hand. He took it now and drank back the remaining liquid before standing. "I'll be right there." He told the elf. Crispin handed the glass to the elf and then finished with the paperwork before leaving the room.
He walked silently along the hallways until he reached the sitting room and then stood in the door frame. He took her in slowly. Lovely as always. His eyes moved along her long bare legs. Crispin forced himself to picture Christina's face. "What brings you back here?" Crispin asked now. His voice was low and calm. He stepped into the room and sat on the couch across from hers. He was dressed in a pair of black dress pants, and white wife beater that showed his strong arms and black boots. Crispin just watched her.

Aphrodite had been so caught up in her own thoughts that she hadn't even heard her former vampire lover enter the room. She jumped a bit, startled as he spoke, she turned around and offered him a small smile. She took him in, his flawless face, his strong muscular arms. She shook his head, she wasn't going to think of him like that. Not any more, now that she had made a change for the better and he was in a relationship. She sat back down of the couch, she opened her mouth to answer his question. "Mother and Father are in Italy. Draco had Astoria over at the house, and I felt like I wasn't wanted there. Like a third wheel." She started explaining, "So I decided I needed to leave for a short while, and naturally for some reason, I thought of you." She finished, her voice soft and low a tone not many people heard from her.
She looked as the elf came back into the room and handed her, her tea. She smiled and nodded politely, "Thank you." She said, and watched as it left to do attend to other duties it had to do. She slowly took a sip and sat the cup down on the table. "I have good news." She stated,wondering if he'd be excited about it. "I've changed. I'm not the same wild person I once was. I'm trying to clean my life up." She admitted, as a proud smirk crossed her delicate looking face. Which she was proud of herself, sure it was hard at times, but Aphrodite always had the will power and pushed through it, and so far she hadn't slipped up even once.
It was funny, most people would be scared sitting in a room alone with a vampire, but Aphrodite was completely at ease with Crispin. Although she was well aware he could snap her like a twig easily if he wished to do so, he was one of the people she trusted the most. She crossed her long legs and tucked some of her long bleach blonde hair behind her ear, as she smiled at him "So, how has everything been going for you?" She asked, something that was different, Aphrodite use to never be one for small talk with guys, it was fuck them then leave, but she was a different person now.

Crispin waited for her to speak. His eyes were on her face and they did not wavier. "Mother and Father are in Italy. Draco had Astoria over at the house, and I felt like I wasn't wanted there. Like a third wheel." The teenager told him and Crispin nodded. He could already tell where this was going. "So I decided I needed to leave for a short while, and naturally for some reason, I thought of you."
He was silent while the elf gave the girl her drink. Crispin was a bit surprised that she had not asked for something stronger. "I have good news." Aphrodite continued and Crispin tilted his head a bit. He stopped the elf as the creature passed him. The elf looked up at the vampire. Prepare a room for Miss. Malfoy." He ordered and the elf nodded before hurrying off.
"I've changed. I'm not the same wild person I once was. I'm trying to clean my life up." Astoria told him. Crispin had heard this before. "So, how has everything been going for you?" When she moved, Crispin's dark eyes went to her legs again. He still liked those legs. He figited slightly before getting control over himself.
"Much of the same." He told her now. "I am still at Hogwarts. Still teaching Dueling. I've had...complications..." Crispin stood now and poured himself another drink. It looked like red wine but in fact was blood.
"Where have you been Aphrodite?" Crispin asked. "You look good." He moved back to the couch and this time sat beside her. Crispin was understanding. He had known this girls family for some time. And he knew Aphrodite very well and quite intimately. Unbeknown to Lucius of course. "You can stay here with me until I need to head back to Hogwarts." Crispin gave a soft smile.

Aphrodite listened to his every word, and her interest peaked when he mentioned he had complications, part of her wanted to ask what and if there was anything she could do to help him, but she remembered what a private person he could be at times over certain things, so Aphrodite thought it best to just not ask about them, "I bet you handled them smoothly though, you always seem too." She stated, she watched as he poured the red liquid into the glass he held, it looked like elegant red wine, but Aphrodite knew very well what it was. It was blood, but once again she wasn't uneasy about it at all the way any normal person would be, it was just more proof to herself that she was anything but normal.
She offered him another soft smile, which was rare. When Aphrodite was around people she hardly ever smiled or spoke nice to them but that's pretty much all she done with Crispin. "I was in America, I have some distant family there I was staying with. To straighten up I needed to get away." She admitted, and watched as the tall and gorgeous vampire came to sit beside her, she smiled again at his comment about her looking good. "Thanks, I was told that I look better now that I've gained some weight and no longer look like a walking skeleton." She mused and laughed a little. While Aphrodite was still skinny and slender, she could no longer count every bone in her body, she looked like she was in good health for the first time in a long time.
More memories of her and Crispin flashed through her head, she wasn't sure who all had known about her and the vampires romance, but she knew her father didn't. Which was a good thing, because if he ever found out Aphrodite knew there would be hell to pay, for both herself and Crispin. She looked over at him when he spoke, "But I don't want to impose on you." She admitted, before Aphrodite wouldn't have cared, but now she was considerate of some people she liked. "I have to go back around the same time as you, so maybe we could just head back together?" She suggested, her gray eyes staring into his familiar dark ones.

"I was in America, I have some distant family there I was staying with." She told him now and Crispin nodded softly. "To straighten up I needed to get away." It was good that she was finally taking control of her life. Crispin knew that she had had a lot of problems and to be quite honest, he probably did not help matters much.
When he had complimented her appearance, Crispin smiled when she returned with "Thanks, I was told that I look better now that I've gained some weight and no longer look like a walking skeleton." He knew that she knew that she was still beautiful. Women, especially human women, blushed when a man said they looked good. That is unless the woman already knew she was attractive. Aphrodite was no different.
Crispin shook his head and then brushed hair out of his eyes when she told him that she did not want to impose. He rather liked having her in the house. What man did not like having a beautiful female in close proximity? "You are not imposing. It would be rude of me to send you out alone into the night." He told her in a slightly drawling southern accent. The accent had faded a bit after all these years but it was still there and was still attractive.
"And of course you can return to Hogwarts with me. I would enjoy the company." Crispin glanced at the tea in the girls hand. "Drink up before it gets cold." He told her softly.
He leaned back on the couch relaxing and sipped from his own glass. The blood was warm. He of course preferred it to be hot and fresh out of the body but what was one to do? His eyes drifted to Aphrodite's slim and pale neck before he forced himself to look away again. He could smell her of course. That was the hardest part about being with humans. They smelled so very good.

Aphrodite knew that if she hadn't made the change that she had her life would have spiraled out of control, and it was un telling where she would end up. People were betting on when the alcohol and all the unprotected sex would do her in, she was very lucky she hadn't died from alcohol poisoning, or an STD. But all that was different now, it had been months since she'd picked up a drink or screwed someone, and that was good. Aphrodite of course was still a bitch, she was a Malfoy and a Slytherin after all, so that couldn't be helped. But she could become a less wild bitch, which she thought she was doing a pretty good job of accomplishing so far.
She looked up at him and smiled, she heard the small trace of his accent and had to fight herself hard to keep from jumping his bones. Even though she wasn't sleeping around anymore she would make a expectation for Crispin. But wait, why? Then it dawned on her, she still had some sort of feelings for the vampire professor. "I greatly appreciate it. You have no idea how out of place I felt at my own home." Very few people has Aphrodite ever let close enough to her for them to actually like her and be nice to her. "If there's ever anything I can do to repay you, please don't hesitate to ask me." She stated.
Aphrodite looked up at him with a small smile that faded all to quickly as she remembered he was involved with someone. "Are you sure that your girlfriend wouldn't care me being here? I mean after all we do have a past." She reminded him, the last thing she wanted to do was mess things up for him. She slowly brought her cup of tea to her lips and took another drinking, causing half of it to disappear as it was a small cup. She watched him drink from his glass, and sighed slightly, she moved her hair to the side and without even meaning to, exposed her bare neck to him. She leaned back and thought of more and more of their times together, which caused her heart to beat faster and her blood to pump through her veins at a much quicker rate.

"I greatly appreciate it. You have no idea how out of place I felt at my own home." She told him. Crispin nodded softly. "Draco is having a hard time lately but it seems that he may have found someone who can control the wildness." He told her. "Though I am sure your parents would not approve of the girl being in the manor alone with your brother. One would think he learned his lesson last time."
There was a brief silent moment. "If there's ever anything I can do to repay you, please don't hesitate to ask me." She told him. "You don't need to worry about repaying me for anything." Crispin told her now. In reality he would love to have her in his bed. That would be repayment to his liking but Crispin would never say that. It was sexist and he had to remember the situation with this girl.
"Are you sure that your girlfriend wouldn't care me being here? I mean after all we do have a past." Aphrodite asked and Crispin looked down for a moment. A past... He shook his head now. "There is no reason for her to know and she does not control me anyways. This is my home and in it I do as I like." Crispin finished the blood and then licked his lips.
Again his eyes went to the curve of hr neck. Bottled blood normally satisfied him but not tonight. Knowing that she was so close and smelling her was making his animistic nature roared inside of him. Crispin seemed to loose control of himself at least for the moment. The hand closest to her came up and his fingers ran gently along her throat feeling the soft skin. The lust was strong and it did not help that he had already tasted this girls blood. Again he licked his lips slowly and his eyes darkened.

Aphrodite nodded agreeing to his statement about her parents not liking the fact Draco had a girl alone in the manor. "From what I've seen, he seems to be a lot better off. At least he's eating again.....I think." She remembered when she went through her own phase of not eating in reality it just made her feel and look a lot worse then she already did, but in her mind it was helping her cope with her depression. Of course now she knew it wasn't, and was almost back to her normal state before she had gotten really sick. There was still times when she took small phases of feeling alone and worthless, but they were getting to be less and less, and lasted a shorter amount of time.
When Aphrodite said she was repay him, she didn't mean it in a sexual way, before she would have no doubt meant it like that and probably offered it up front as payment for him letting her stay here, but not anymore. Although if he offered it was a different story, she knew if it was any other person she'd say no, but there was still feelings for Crispin there, so it her book it made things a little better. Sure there would be the little fact he was taken, but she would feel bad about that at a later date. She shook her head, shaking all these thoughts away, she didn't need to be thinking like this.
Aphrodite nodded, so he wasn't going to tell his girlfriend, what's her face about her being here. But then again she couldn't say she blamed him, if she was in his situation she don't think she'd tell her either. It would probably just cause a jealous fight that shouldn't have been had in the first place. "I can respect that." She spoke finally after thinking about it a short while. But Aphrodite couldn't help but wonder was there things like this that he done when they were together? There she goes again thinking of the past, she really needs to stop doing that, or things could get really bad, really fast.
She was caught up in her own little world, caught up in her own thoughts when she felt his long cool fingers run softly over her throat. The action caused her breath to catch in her throat, as her chest stopped rising and falling as she cut off her breathing. She knew to get up and not look at him, but she couldn't. Slowly her gray eyes locked with his darkening ones, and she was trapped in his lustful stare. It seemed like every fiber in her body was telling her this wasn't good, just to leave. But her feet had a mind of their own and wouldn't move. She remembered the times he'd fed off her before, how the mixture of pleasure and pain always seemed to leave her wanting more. As she stared into his eyes her heart pumped her blood through his veins faster, as she slowly moved getting only up a few inches from him, and tilted her head back exposing more of her waiting neck to him.

He watched silently as she bared her throat to him. The vixen knew what he wanted and she was offering it. She wanted him to. She had even moved closer to him. Crispin tried to hold back. He tried to stop himself. He willed his hand to release the slender throat that he had taken in a firm but gentle grip. His fingers were wrapped around the pale flesh of the back of her neck. He could feel the blood pumping against his palm.
Crispin's breathing picked up slightly. His almost black eyes took in the arched throat before moving to her face and back again. He wanted it more then anything he could ever remember wanting before. A part of his mind told him this was just because she was here in front of him and because he had been without a female touch for too long. Christina had been rather distant. Which to be quite honest was the way Crispin preferred it with her.
But this girl...her blood was a drug. He needed it. Crispin gave on fighting himself. His own throat arched now as he moved his head closer to her at a tilt and buried his face in the soft skin. His tongue came out slowly and caressed the flesh lustfully. He inhaled deeply and then sighed.
Crispin's chest pressed against her now as he moved closer and Crispin used his chest to push her down and on her back on the couch. He did not bite her as of yet but the whole time, there was a animal like growl in his chest. His mind was screaming at him to stop and his body was fighting an inner war but Crispin wanted it.

Aphrodite felt his grip on the back of her neck, and not only did it send excitement through her body for some weird reason, it also sent fear. But that was only natural, after all if he wanted all Crispin would have to have done would be tighten his grip just a little and her neck would be snapped. There was also the small idea in the back of her head that when he did finally bite her and start feeding on her, he could easily lose control and accidentally drain her off all of her precious life sustaining blood. She closed her eyes and pushed those thoughts out, even when they were together, she would always have those thoughts in the back of her head, and just like now she would close her eyes and push them out, and just concentrate on the here and the now.
As he closed the remaining space between them by burying his face in her neck, one of her hands went up and tangled in his hair, as she felt his cool face on her hot skin, sending tingles throughout her entire body. As she felt the cool wetness of his tongue dance across her bare skin, she shivered slightly and a low moan managed to escape her slightly parted lips, her hand running through his soft hair. At this point she was so in traced by him, by his voice, by his looks, even by his smell that she'd let him do what ever she pleased. That was the one of the down falls of humans and vampires, humans seemed to fall easily into the vampires wants, and was edger to deliver them.
Then next thing she knew she was on her back, laying on the couch with Crispin hovering over top of her. She heard his growl which only caused a smirk to fall across her face. She wondered how far this would go, because a vampire feeding was closely intertwined with sex, she'd read somewhere that it awakens the same hormones as sex did.

Crispin heard he moan and felt her hand in his hair. He knew this was a turn on for her and in reality, it was for him too. Crispin moved himself between her legs and let his hips connect with hers. She felt so good under him but he had no intention of letting this go any further than feeding. Crispin's mouth opened slowly and his teeth grazed her skin.
The little voice in his head had now gone silent. There was no going back and he knew it. The feel of flesh separating around his teeth was always a turn on for him. Crispin's fangs slipped into her throat as easy as a hot knife in soft butter. Then then the hot crimson liquid surged into his mouth. His own moan was loud and his eyes fluttered closed as he swallowed and began to feed. She tasted so good to him.
Crispin's own hand began a slow journey down her side. He took in her curves and warmth. His sucking at her throat was steady and his hand reached the bottom of her shirt and slipped up under and against her skin. His hand molded against the curve of her hip and waist and he held her. Crispin could not help the slight thrust with his hips.
When he was full, Crispin withdrew from her throat and licked his lips slowly. He had not taken too much but he knew that she would be weak. He had taken more than he should. "Forgive me. I'm weak." He told her softly meaning his own lack of self control. He moved quickly off her now and then stood. Crispin stood there looking down at her with sadness in his eyes. Already he felt ashamed.
