We walk through the dimly lit streets hand and hand; I can see the occasional flicker of the
flames from the gas lamps in your eyes. Hmmm.... I wonder if the vampire watchers will be
watching us...
Do you want me to bite your thigh or your neck this time? I promise not to suck you dry...
My eternal love.
As we walk down the century old streets, I'm overcome with the scent of your jasmine
perfume along with the lush baskets of flowers hanging from the balconies overhead, your
breasts are shimmering in the soft flame of light as we pass under the old gas lamps.
Overwhelmed I place my hand around your waist and turn you into me, I pull you close and
tight never letting go of your waist, sliding my other hand around the back of your neck, you
lean back melting into my arms. I gaze deeply into your eyes knowing that you are completely
mine, your lips part, our eyes close, and at that very moment all that I have ever dreamed, or
will ever dream, shall become reality, or has reality become the dream...
As we end our kiss we continue to make our way back to the Chateau Dupre, not a word is
spoken, but all is still reveled.
As you lay on the bed, still the scent of the flowers coming from the open balcony, I gently
blow across your breasts you quiver and arch your back in anticipation. When you think that
it's more than you can bear I kiss your nipples and the sudden rush from the warmth of my
lips almost seems unbearable. The music in the distance, the warmth, the cold, a thousand
sounds, scents, and touches overwhelm all of your senses...
I try not to think of it, but even as I kiss your sweet lips I can feel the blood pulse through
your neck. So I tell myself not this one, not tonight, but I can't stop. Your beauty pulls me
back in, you don't deserve this, but I find my way to your soft lush neck. I take hold of your
long flowing hair and pull your head back, as my teeth break the skin your back arches in
pain, but I hold you tight. The blood trickles at first, but then flows freely, all of your dreams
and desire flow into me; you start to swoon as pain gives way to exquisite pleasure. I can feel
your breasts heaving in and out with each beat of our hearts as they beat as one now. The full
weight of your body is now in my arms, I pull back to gaze at you only to realize that I must
do the unthinkable. Looking down I see a single drop of blood from my lips as it falls on
your glistening breast.
You sleep in the bed now, not knowing that everything has changed, when the night falls
again you will be entirely mine, locked together in blood, passion, and damnation...I am death,
I am life.
I must leave you now, the only light a single candle on the nightstand, the only light you will
ever know again; One candle away from darkness...
