You awaken with a start.

The world is blurry. Blurry light reaches your eyes, as if through a foggy window. You roll over, groan, and rub your eyes. Through cotton ears, you hear a feminine moan, and after a moment you realize it's yours.

"Huh?" you murmur. A hand goes to your throat, as if it's the problem, but slowly the prior events begin to unravel in your mind. Your jaw aches and you yawn, causing something crusty on you cheeks and chin to crack.

"Ugh... What the?" Your hand now goes to your skin and you can feel the dried cum caking your face. It's on your nose, and lips. It fills your mouth and drips down your chin. You can feel it matting your hair, and somehow, it's even in one of your ears.

"Gross." You manage to grunt.

"There's a wet towel on the table," Erica calls out to you.

Through bleary eyes you spy it, and begin to wipe your face. You know you should be angry, but even your greatest fury is shadowed by the storm of carnal satisfaction you just experienced. It leaves you feeling rather numb. Despite yourself you smirk in fond recollection, as you dab gingerly at your face. The smell begins to return as you wipe it from your face, and for a moment a tension courses through your body, will you succumb to that frenzy again? Fortunately, you do not.

"The hunger?" Erica titters. You look to your side and see her standing there, hands on her hips. "I turned it off, if that's what you were worried about."

"You shouldn't have done all that," You mumble without conviction.

She just laughs. "Oh, I didn't do anything. That was all you."

Her hand cradles your cheek, then continues, "And you were phenomenal." She releases her grip, and returns to the kitchenette.

From the kitchen you hear her pouring a drink. "One thing about your change that I didn't consider," She begins stating matter of factly. "Is that I'm always thirsty. Sheesh. It's getting a bit ridiculous."

She continues to chatter about various observations, and you realize now might be an excellent time sneak up on her and steal back the gemstone.
