How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It was better than any of the times I'd been drunk or high. Better than sex—or so I imagined, since I'd never done it. It was a blanket of pure, refined pleasure, wrapping me up and promising everything would be right in the world. On and on it went. The chemicals in her saliva triggered an endorphin rush, and I lost track of the world, lost track of who I was. (1.20)
Right away, our vamps are sexualized. It's not just that Lissa is biting Rose's neck to feed, but that Rose enjoys it, even if she's not supposed to. Her description gives us an idea of the tantalizing world these students live in.
Quote #2
As I'd just been reminded, feeders were vampire-bite addicts. We accepted that as part of life but still looked down on them for it. For anyone else—especially a dhampir—letting a Moroi take blood from you was almost, well, dirty. In fact, one of the kinkiest, practically pornographic things a dhampir could do was let a Moroi drink blood during sex. (5.33)
With this in mind, it's no surprise that Lissa and Rose keep the neck feeding thing a secret from everyone at school. It's thought to be dirty and gross, even though the Morois have no shame in doing it. They all flock to the feeding room every single day. It's pretty harsh to think so poorly of the folks who are willing to share their blood with you to keep you alive.
Quote #3
"I'm not a blood whore," I snapped, pulling away from him. "But you want to. You like it. All you dhamp girls do." His teeth were on my skin again. Sharp. Wonderful. (9.57)
As much as we hate to admit it, we don't see much difference between blood whores and what Rose let Lissa do while they were gone. Sure, it was to make sure Lissa got enough blood, but Rose liked it. Jesse's a jerk about it, but Rose shouldn't be so hard on people who like the woozy bite... since she's one of them.
