The time had come for Higgs to feed again. He’d tried, no, needed, to stay away from you for as long as he could; the last time almost ended your life, after all. But the thirst that his DOOMS brought on was getting too strong to bear.

Night had fallen, the sun a curse to one such as him. He slipped into your shelter, unannounced, but always welcome. You were still awake, typing away another report at your desk. He couldn’t help but delight in the exhilaration that flooded him then; a dangerous predator in your wake, and you, blissfully unaware of such a threat.

The twist deep in his stomach at last forced him into making his presence known. “Darlin’,” Higgs cooed.

Your head snapped away from the screen you stared at, taking in the visage of a creature on the verge of starvation. “Holy shit,” you said, standing up. “You look terrible.” Walking over to the man, you paused before you got within an arm’s reach. “When’s the last time you ate?”

“With you,” he whispered, voice a little hoarse.

“With me?! Higgs, that was a fucking month ago!”

“I know, but…” he trailed off as he stepped closer to you. “Nothing, no one, tastes as good as you do.”

“I can’t always be the one you feed on, you know.” A heavy sigh exited your lungs. “You need to eat in between.”

“Don’t wanna.”

“Higgs.”

“Look, I’m hungry. So why don’t ya show me that sexy neck of yours, and we can get on with it?”

“Higgs, I…” It was your turn for words to fail. The last time had been an anomaly; Higgs would often drink from you to the point of wooziness, but never unconsciousness. It was alarming, but afterwards, a stern reprimand took place.

“It won’t be like last time,” he reassured you, seemingly reading your thoughts. Perhaps he could; DOOMS as high as his were rare, the condition largely unresearched.

You remained silent as you considered. Then, denying sensibility, you nodded your head an imperceptible amount. With inhuman eyes, Higgs saw the approval anyway.

He launched at you.

Grabbing the back of your head in one hand, he held you in place by your hip with the other. He yanked your head to the side, revealing the tender flesh of your neck. With a lick of his lips he leaned in, and sunk his fangs into you.

A sharp, cold pain shocked your system, as it always did. It throbbed as his teeth dipped deeper into your skin, ripping you open for him to consume. Then, the numbing sensation began. Pain slowly vanished, and soon all you knew was the softness of his lips against your throat, and the sucking from his mouth.

Moans vibrated against your neck as he swallowed your blood. Higgs’ eyes were squeezed shut, losing himself in your taste, scent, and sound. Your heartbeat reverberated loud in his ears, attempting to refill what he was stealing from you. Subtle whines passed your lips, the knowledge of the act turning you on not lost on the man.

As your blood began to pump through his veins, a similar arousal grew within Higgs. His cock started to stiffen in his pants, and he couldn’t help but press his body into yours.

“Higgs,” you whimpered. Black dots were filling your vision; the blood loss already amounting to too much. He needed to stop.

The man ignored you, as he’d done the last time. Lips remained latched onto the now bruised flesh as he sucked and drank. 

“Higgs please, I’m getting dizzy.”

“Shh. Won’t kill ya,” he slurred against you. “Just need some more. A little more.”

“I’m…” Your sentence struggled to form as your mind began to spin. Your body felt light and heavy all at once. Thinking was getting difficult.

“Need you… need you so bad…” Higgs continued to babble, grinding his hard cock into you.

“You better make this up to me, you…” Your insult cut off, as unconsciousness at last worked its hands around your mind, pulling you down into its depths.

Everything went dark.

–

You were in a memory; the night Higgs first clawed at the door to your shelter aboveground. You’d let him in, unaware of his condition, concerned and far too kind for your own good, for timefall pelted the ground outside. He’d almost killed you then, but something stopped him.

It wasn’t a lingering hold onto his humanity. No. It was greed.

Your taste was the sweetest he ever had and he knew he would need to have it again. Ever since, an agreement had been made with the man; blood for survival, and the opportunity for you to research the unresearched. This was within your line of work after all, being an analyst for all sorts of chiral matters. You quickly learned that the act of feeding often led to other, more intimate affairs; all of such added into your little agreement with the man of death.

Everything started to get fuzzy. Images blurred and fluorescent lights warmed your eyelids. There was pain, and there was pleasure. An ache in your neck forced you to stir, the pleasure your body was receiving forced your eyes to open.

Higgs was dragging his tongue across your cunt, lapping at the arousal already dripping from you. His eyes were half lidded and staring at the display before him. Hands held your thighs open, the man in between hunched over and hungry for you in an all new way. Your clit throbbed as Higgs’ hot tongue pressed into it, and your walls clamped down onto nothing.

What the fuck was going on?

Lifting your head further, you saw that you were in your bed. Higgs was half sprawled on the furniture, head sunk in between your legs as his own propped him up from the floor. Teeth ghosted over your flesh before his tongue shot out again, lapping up all that you had to offer.

Then, it clicked. The two of you had spoken about this kink before, and now it was actually happening. You had reminded him of it just before you passed out, after all.

The safe word entered your mind, but you didn’t wish to speak it, even though you were mad at Higgs for lying to you. Fucking bastard sucked you almost dry, again, your body still feeling weak. The way his mouth made your cunt squeeze, however, indeed made up for it.

A loud moan finally burst free from your lips as Higgs sunk his tongue into your pussy.

Pulling back, his eyes found yours. “About time,” he grumbled. “Been rock fuckin’ hard for almost an hour.”

You scoffed. “Oh I’m sorry that me passing out inconvenienced you so much.” Your snarky reply earned a frown from the man.

“Y’all without DOOMS are so weak,” he said. “Forget it sometimes.” A shrug.

“You literally acknowledged to go easy this time,” you retorted.

“And you should know better by now that when I’m hungry…”

“Which is why you can’t just feed on me!”

Higgs’ eye twitched, whatever mean thing he wanted to say still forming in his mind. Irritation was working its way throughout you too, and the pleasure you had received was drifting away.

“Whatever. Get back to it,” you said, dipping your chin down to your crotch.

“Oh no,” Higgs said, crawling up onto the bed fully, caging your body in with his. “That was a courtesy, doin’ as ya asked. But gotta say, took your damn time wakin’ back up. Now I’m a lot more needy than before.”

A knot was forming in your stomach, one of both anticipation and anxiety. On a full stomach, Higgs had stamina. You swallowed, realizing you were in for a long night.

“Maybe if you learned restraint–”

Higgs’ hand cupped itself comfortably over your lips. “Don’t piss me off more. Need to fuck ya stupid already.”

Your eyes narrowed and after a moment of letting the man grow even more restless, you nodded your head. Higgs’ fangs flashed in his wide smile as he sat back on his legs. Pulling his cock out from his pants, it throbbed and leaked; red with your very own blood. Warm arousal spilled from your cunt.

Higgs reached for your thighs, spreading them further. The cool air of your shelter caused a shiver to run down your spine, the wetness leaking from your core losing its warmth. Higgs’ eyes were unable to look away from the feast that was you. It had been hard for him to hold back, but the look on your face as you stared at him with just as much want made it all worth it.

He still needed to bring regret into your heart for making him wait so long, however.

Aiming his cock at your entrance, both of your minds were already slipping away; his faster than yours. Pushing the tip of his dick into you, the action almost felt soft and sweet. He entered slowly, causing you to gasp as you took in how good he felt. 

It all vanished in a moment, as Higgs sunk the rest of his cock into your sopping wet cunt. A brutal and fast pace was set instantly; the man hunched over you, hands placed on your waist, guiding you onto his dick with each mean snap of his hips. 

You had grown used to his large size over your encounters, or so you had thought. The thick member spread you open more than his tongue and fingers had while you drifted through your dreams. Moans crawled their way out of your mouth, eyes squeezing shut from Higgs’ intensity. He was already hitting your cervix.

“Hah–” Higgs gasped in air he didn’t need, not relenting for a moment. You were sure he was going to leave your poor insides bruised.

“Fuck, Higgs,” you mewled underneath him, squirming.

“I know, darlin’, I know,” He whispered, eyes meeting yours.

You blushed, slinking a hand down to your cunt. Managing a few good circles on your clit, the pleasure only amplified. Louder moans left you, but Higgs’ brow furrowed. A strong hand snatched yours away, leaning in to hold it over your head.

“Don’t get fuckin’ greedy now,” he hissed at you. 

You couldn’t help but whimper as he kept up his rough treatment. His lower abdomen was hitting you with each deep thrust, returning the stimulation your puffy clit craved. You were getting so close.

“Gonna cum?” He whispered, bending down, dipping his face into your still bleeding neck.

“Y-yes…”

A warm tongue shot out, and licked up your precious lifeforce. Soft lips wrapped around your flesh, suckling at the wound. Your arousal grew, wrapping your legs around Higgs’ midsection, keeping him close. He took that as an invitation, and bit down on the flesh once more. Teeth sunk into a new spot on your throat, blood slowly oozing out in thick lines down your skin.

“Ah!” You moaned, both in shock and bliss. Whatever chemical entered you through his bite heightened all of your senses, while getting rid of the pain.

Should include that in my newest report, you somehow formed the thought.

Higgs drank from you with less vigor this time, but you could tell your taste was making him come undone all the same. His thrusts grew sloppy, grunts leaving the man as he struggled to fuck you while getting drunk all over again.

“Go easy,” you reminded him.

He groaned against your flesh, but this time he did in fact relent. Teeth pulled from your neck, and he leaned back, hands propped on the bed at the sides of your head. The smell coming off of you kept the man intoxicated, while your blood dribbled down his chin.

“Fuck,” he rasped, eyes wide as he tried to keep his composure. Leaning back more, he gripped your waist again and continued slamming into you with his ever rising strength.

Moans fell from the both of your lips as Higgs fucked you like the animal he was. You wouldn’t last much longer with your mind swimming as it was; the blood loss made everything feel so much better.

Higgs’ thumb reached for your clit, and pressed firm circles into the soft flesh. Your walls clamped down on the man as all of your noises rose in pitch.

So close. Right there. Just–

Another deep thrust of Higgs’ hips pressed the tip of his cock into your cervix, again. The act was pleasurable, feeling so full, while Higgs’ venom dulled the pain that it would normally bring.

Your clit twitched underneath Higgs’ hand, and soon your mind went blank as an explosion of pure bliss washed over you. Thoughts no longer could enter your head as you spasmed within Higgs’ hold. He kept fucking you through your orgasm, destroying what remained of your mind.

“Shit! Yeah, just like that,” he praised you, chasing his own high.

“Nngh,” you were only able to groan in response.

You felt so good, so happy, so complete.

Higgs’ pace increased, the sound of skin smacking skin getting louder and more wet. His thrusts weren’t in rhythm anymore, each push of his hips just a desperate attempt at getting himself to cum.

A loud noise left the man when it finally hit, almost akin to a growl. Hot seed filled you up as Higgs fucked you through his high this time. You continued to squirm on the bed, overstimulation a threat on the horizon, but enjoying the onslaught your body was receiving nonetheless.

“God,” Higgs moaned, not stopping once; his cock wasn’t even going soft. 

You sighed, realizing you weren’t getting a reprieve anytime soon, and steeled yourself for the next round.

You reminded yourself earlier of his stamina, you thought to yourself. You knew what you were signing up for.

All that existed in your head was soon whisked away as Higgs flipped you over, raising your ass high in the air. He gave it a good smack before sinking back into you, planning on filling you up all night long.

–

You slept through the next day, waking up with the rising moon. Higgs had left sometime while you slept, and in a way you were glad for it. Updates to your report were waiting for you, after all.

X Level DOOMS.

Manifests as a form of what the old world knew as ‘vampirism’. Persons with such a condition aren’t technically alive anymore; their connection with the other side is so strong, that their Ka exists somewhere in between.

Their Ha no longer produces blood as a result of that limbo. The blood of living beings is needed to survive instead, through oral consumption. Non-DOOMS sufferers are best, as their link to the world of the living is highest.

Sufferers gain immense positives after feeding. Their bodies grow substantially stronger, while their reflexes and stamina show increases as well.

 A venom is delivered to victims, dulling their pain while the sufferer feeds.

You reached your hands out to begin typing, considering for a moment. Then, with a shrug, added:
