mhalachaiMore Anita Blake drabbles from the Drabble post. I had a long weekend away from the Internet and I handwrote them. Trust me, counting words by hand is hard.

wolfseer wanted some Rafael.
Title: Valour
Note: Set during that scene in NiC when all the furry folk are at the Lupanar to save Gregory. (Double Drabble) (Also, am still Canadian, so the Canadian spellings will be used. Deal.)
Valour.
That had to be it, Rafael mused, as he watched Anita rage at Jacob for disrespecting Richard. He knew, as Jacob bowed and took his eyes off Anita, what she was going to do before she kicked Jacob in the face. Anyone who watched Anita would have known what she was going to do.
And Rafael watched Anita.
It wasn't her appearance, although Rafael considered her beautiful. It also wasn't this new beast he had sensed under her skin.
It was her sense of valour, that drive in her to defend and protect all those she considered her people, the very drive that had her screaming at Jacob to defend Richard's Ulfric honour, while letting the comments against her slide.
It was valour that made Anita demand Rafael's own release from the hands of the Master of Beasts, even though she only endangered herself by making such a request. She had said it was friendship, but in Rafael's experience, there was no such thing as friendship. There was loyalty and fear, love and hatred. But none of those things existed between him and Anita, to make her save him.
When those things were gone, valour was all that remained.
atalante3134 and sorceress_death and waterfall8484 wanted some Edward.
Title: Barrel of a gun
Note: Edward's been hearing some very interesting things about Anita... (Doubble Drabble)
I stared at Edward down the barrel of my gun.
"I've been hearing some interesting things about you, Anita," Edward said softly. His cold blue eyes stared back at me over his own gun.
"Like what?" My gun was steady, even though my heart was pounding at the thought that this might be it.
"This sex thing," he said. There was distaste in his tone. "The vampire do that to you?"
I ignored his question. "It's called the ardeur,“ I said, surprised at how matter-of-fact my voice was.
"I know." He deliberately took his eyes off mine and looked down my body in a way he never had before. "So, what, am I like food to you now?" he asked.
I considered shooting him while he was looking at my chest, but knowing him, he'd have booby-trapped his own body. "You know that answer is so going to be no."
He cocked an eyebrow. Damn it. I knew there was one exception to that rule, no matter how much I hated to admit it. I let my face grow cold, distant.
"Unless it affects the job."
Edward smiled then, as cold and empty as a winter sky. "That's my girl."
And no one suggested this one, but it came to me while I was pondering Richard and Anita and their.... interesting relationship. UBER ID spoilers. Also, NC-17 for teh sex.
Title: Between
Note: Did I mention NC-17 for sexual content? Because it is. (All between consenting adults, etc.)
Richard held my hands down over my head. I struggled, arching my back and tossing my head. He took advantage of my distraction and slid into me as far as he could. The sensation of him filling me up, so hard and thick it almost hurt, caught my breath in a moan.
Richard looked down at me, the heat in his eyes softening slightly. "You okay?" he panted.
In response, I writhed against him. He groaned and started moving again, hard and fast.
We'd been fighting before, and we'd start again afterwards. But I lived for these moments in between.
