"Indeed." Letting out a low chuckle that had the hint of a hiss to it, he set the bottle of wine down on the edge of a table that seemed strictly for decorational purposes. Certain primal traits taking over, he allowed her time to shake her hair free of the pins before doing anything - and it was almost right down to the second when he approached and went for the neck, slowly inhaling the intoxicating smell of her skin. Trailing the tip of his nose across the thready beat of her jugular vein, he inhaled the scent again - he could smell the blood that close to the skin, and it was a show of control when he didn't sink his fangs into her neck, but rather kissed it in a very taunting and deliberate manner. Best to start off a little slow.

Noelle practically purred, very much content. As usual, she was getting exactly what she wanted. She kicked her heels off and began to tug at his jacket, and when she finally got it free and tossed it over her shoulder, she licked right under his ear teasingly.
Finally catching his mouth with her own (that tasted vaguely like the strawberries from the wine,) she began to progress to the buttons on his shirt. While attending to both of those things, she began goading him backward through the other doorway with such skill it was rather obvious she was a pro at this.

"Tsk, tsk, not so fast." Going along with her prodding and goading only so long as it took to get through the other doorway, Nick then acted probably very contrary to what she was expecting out of this. Stopping so she would run into him if she tried to progress further, he caught her arms with both of his hands, grip firm but not oppressive.
"You might want to be careful how you proceed from here. I highly doubt you've ever bedded someone like me." He spoke in such a way as to show off the greatest asset in his mouth, and when finished bared his teeth to show the fangs off in the predatory manner he'd hinted at earlier. Of course, now it was full-blown, and the way he was now eyeing her was like a predator summing up it's prey.

Noelle smacked into him, blinking as she tried to figure out just what the hold up was. She scowled when he spoke up, and that scowl turned to a blank, wide-eyed look when he had hold of her arms. Well, this was certainly new.
It took her a few moments to notice the fangs, and she automatically jerked backward, keeping from slamming into the door only by the grasp he had on her wrists. She let out a shaky breath, still staring at him- or, more realistically, his fangs. "Are you going to kill me?" To her credit, Noelle's voice was steady, but her pupils had dialated in her inner panic.

"Am I going to kill you?" Repeating the question and letting it linger tauntingly in the air between them for a moment, Nick seemed to revel in the fear. It was the usual reaction he recieved from the women that caught his interest, but Noelle was reacting far more calmly than those many others had. It gave his ego a boost..among other things.
Finally leaning foward to speak in a lowered voice, he lingered right near her ear and spoke in a deep, breathy whisper. "No, my dear, I'm not going to kill you. You are far too fascinating to drain. I will admit, your blood smells delicious and I would love a taste, but that thirst can wait." As if to prove his goodwill, he kissed her neck again, applying the slightest bit of pressure with his teeth - a maneuver that usually sent shivers through the one subjected to it.

Noelle didn't take her eyes from Nick's, and she didn't move. She was smart enough to understand this was a battle of wills, despite her other shortcomings. Noelle had a hell of a will.
"Thank Merlin for fascination." She said dryly, trying to play it off as if she was bored by the situation. That was quickly trounced, however, as she made a small squeak when his teeth connected with her skin, completely surprised. Her traitorous body did indeed shiver under the pressure, however, and Noelle finally made a decision, somewhere in the back of her mind. To hell with it. You only live once.

Pulling back to look down at her through rather heavy-lidded eyes, Nick chuckled in the back of his throat and released her arms, deciding to allow her to give free rein again. He was in her house and rooms, after all. She was tempting him in more ways than one, but he had enough self-control to keep that under wraps. "Your move, love."

Taking only a second to make sure this was what she really wanted, Noelle stepped forward and smashed her lips to his, practically picking up exactly where she had left off before he had interfered. She put one arm around his neck to pull him closer while the other began to work at the side zipper on her dress- even if she never would wear it again, she wouldn't want to get blood on such beautiful fabric.

Had he been able to, Nick would have been laughing at the obvious willingness in which she launched into the situation again. Unable to, however, he kissed her with unprecedented fervor, even going so far as to help her with the zipper of her dress. She had been 'nice' enough to help him with his shirt, so it was only fair to return the favor.

Noelle pulled her down comforter closer around her, feeling strangely vulnerable. After their decidedly interesting tryst, she had been quick enough to throw on a silky nightgown before she climbed back into bed. She wasn't quite sure what to think about the situation- the fact that he was a vampire scared her a little, but he was simply too damn good looking- and fantastic in bed- to let go so easily, over something so trivial.
She adjusted the blanket to cover the bite marks on her shoulder from her own sight as she tentatively squirmed closer to him. She felt vaguely lightheaded- Noelle was a little bit squeamish when it came to her own blood- and the wine she had consumed earlier wasn't helping. Noelle ended up with her forehead pressed against his side, her knees pulled up to her chest. Her hair was spread over the sheets, almost as soft and silky as her nightgown.

Breathing rate slowed down quite a bit - but not enough to mark him as asleep - Nick opened his eyes and glanced down when he felt the pressure on his side. Smile a bit more calm than it had been any other time during the night, he also seemed more relaxed and less haughty. What needs there had been were slaked, so he hadn't quite got around to putting up his usual front yet.
Placing a hand across her shoulder - the one he'd bitten - he made sure not to press on it, as it was undoubtedly tender. "If there's a scar, it should only be very faint." That had been a point he was very careful on, as most women hated having scars left behind on them. There was the occasional diversion from this, but it was the general rule.

When he touched her, Noelle tilted her head back so she could see him, but otherwise didn't move. He wasn't hurting her when he touched her, since he wasn't pressing down, and Noelle shook her head slightly at the comment. She wasn't worried about scarring. Contrary to most people's beliefs, she had scars- sometimes her stubborness got the better of her.
"It doesn't matter." She said quietly, watching him. "Now that I've provided you with... nourishment.... are you just going to fade into the dark?" Noelle wasn't the type of girl that had to know whether they were going to get married or have 2.3 children, but she did want to know if this was a one night affair.

Regarding her once again through heavy-lidded eyes, he smiled in an amused manner this time. "Most of my..nourishment must come from draining someone entirely this evening. What I did with you was different. A full taste, if you will, and it took the edge off of the thirst." Every vampire's feeding habits were different, and his were unique in that he had to drain at least three victims per week, on top of a few glasses of bought and 'donated' blood each day. His thirst was abnormally high, mostly built up over his habits of indulgence since he was turned at fifteen. "And unless you wish me to fade away, I have no intentions to."

"I don't think I do." Noelle confessed, moving again, this time so her head was resting on his chest. She was already dancing with the devil, why not seal her fate? Nick, though dangerous, was probably the most interesting thing that had happened to her in a while. She wished he didn't unsettle her so much, but she thought that in time, it might get better.
Noelle traced her fingers lightly over his chest, closing her eyes with a soft sigh. She didn't remember much from defense against the dark arts, and therefore didn't remember all the technicalities about vampires beyond the stay out of the sun, suck blood generalities. She wasn't sure how to treat Nick, and she wasn't exactly sure of her place. "Is that the most you will ever take from me at one time?" She asked curiously, knowing he probably thought of her as an idiot. She supposed she was.

Easing his hand away from her shoulder when she moved, Nick then placed that hand on her back when she settled down again. He allowed the proximity where he might not usually, but it didn't seem to bother him in the least. Her curiosity came as no surprise, and when calm as he was then, he usually had no qualms in answering questions. "I took more than I should have this time, but yes. That is the most I'll ever take at once. And no, that bite won't turn you, either."
