Britt slipped her hand into Roger’s and began caressing him with the ball of her thumb. ” “Hardly,” Claude chuckled. ” “Sometimes I regret getting into scriptwriting,” she said, “because I don’t get turned on just watching him in those scenes the way I did before we met. I’m too busy looking for mistakes. ” Roger, unfortunately, hadn’t developed that immunity. When Claude played his first intimate scene with the leading lady, a tender, tentative approach broken off before his understated artificial fangs pierced her throat, Roger had to force himself not to squirm openly.
After a moment’s thought, Gillian said, “You are right, I guess. I can’t understand yet. Dr. ” His skin crawled with embarrassment at discussing such intimacies, even obliquely. Gillian must have sensed his discomfort, for she didn’t pursue the topic. Back at the house he waited while she washed up, then showed her to the guest room. Gillian unself-consciously stripped naked and snuggled into the bed. Roger shut the door and lingered outside it until he felt her sink into the deathlike torpor of daylight sleep, a matter of less than three minutes.

Unwillingly he acknowledged the rush of pleasure the small conquest gave him. He could see how, for some of his kind, this pleasure could become addictive, even eclipsing the satisfaction of more subtle forms of communion.
