"Penelope"

Her name was no more than a breath of air traveling from his lips to caress the back of her neck. An overwhelming sensation of chills ran along the exposed skin. She knew the voice. But somehow it sounded different to her ears. The childlike tenor was gone and in its place was a seduction. Smoothly two hands reached out from behind and touched her own hanging down by her side. Gracefully the hands moved up her arms slowly leaving a trail of goose bumps in their path. Gently they stopped at her shoulders and guided her to turn around. Willingly she obeyed and turned to face the man behind the voice.

"Reid" she whispered looking up into his eyes. His eyes that had always reminded her of a cute little puppy dog stared back at her with a determination in them that seemed impossible to believe.

"I'm so cold"

His words sent a sharp pang of fear into Penelope's heart.

"Penelope" he breathed out. Then quickly he leaned forward towards her. Pain shot through her along with the realization that Reid had bitten her neck.
