B-17

[truthpurveyor]

"Please Mister Please" The old juke box crooned...an all too familiar song coming from it for the umpteeth time.

"Don't play B-17....it was his song, it was my song, Now it's over....."

Lifting the beer to my lips I drained the bottle and stacked it on the small pyramid I was building in front of me. Raising my hand to show a pair of fingers I signalled the bartender,Sam, who shook his head but none the less delivered a pair of chilled Black Horse Ale's.

"Who's the drunk?" I heard a voice question behind me, and not giving a damn I didn't turn...


"He just broke up with his gal, leave him alone!" The voice of Sam replied "Last time he got this soused was when the Twins won the world series and I'm still fixing the holes in the pool room!"

Reaching over I fed the juke box another dozen quarters punching the single selection until the light came on.The actions promptedan audible groan from the half filled bar as I finished my now familiar routine and began humming to the words.

"Please Mister Please......"

==============================================

OOC:......Anyone? Don't know where it's going or where it will end, but the journey should be memorable....

I sat back in the darkest of corners, watching him drown his misery in beer. His idea of a solution, but it was not what he needed. I could feel and sense his pain. Did I approach him? No not quite yet.
He would not welcome the intrusion, nor would he welcome a woman's presence. Perhaps after his songs finished playing. Perhaps at closing time I would speak with him. I had seen him in here time and time again, but usually happy and content.
This was his hang out spot, his relaxation before heading home. He had stopped coming for awhile, yet I remained here in the darkness watching all those come and go.
And now he was miserable thanks to the ex. Once again a female had succeeded in taking a strong man and making him feel smaller than an ant. Why they felt the need to do this, I did not know. even being one myself did nothing to help solve that mystery. Why would women dump the good ones for the rotten? I shook my head in amazement.
I motioned over a waitress, "His next beer is on me, please deliver it for me?" She took my money and went to the bar, handing the money to the bar tender and he in turned placed the beer before the stranger. His pyramid looked a little lopsided to me. Smiling, I had patience. I would use it.

 

[truthpurveyor]

I raised the bottle in the air, saluting the woman the waitress pointed out, and returning to the serious task at hand.

Three more ales slid down in a matter of minutes and I finished the pyramid, the last bottle wavering unsteadily as I "crowned" the pile.

Rising I walked over to the jukebox and punched the "clear" button until the music quietly faded.

"Thanks for the tolerance and the beer, Sam" I called out,moving towards the door with a small weave in my step "I'll see you'all later"

Fumbling for my cigarettes as the cool air hit me, it dawned on me I had quit...another thing I had done for "her"...and now regretted.

Pulling out my keys I shook my head and told myself *You're too drunk to drive and too stupid to listen, so you might as well go home...*

My thoughts drifted to the woman who had bought me the last beer...I had seen her before, but couldn't place her...a fact I found strange in a town this small.....

 

[Sweetp4u]

He was leaving and with his little salute, I knew it was time. He would not be going far tonight in that condition anyways. I rose silently from the chair and moved out the back. I knew where he was, I could sense him near by.
I stood back in the shadows, watching his every movement. My mind caressed his a brief moment, whispering not to drive. A stillness came over the night. The night sounds all faded and the breeze stopped its wailing. And still he stood there, looking down into his hands that held the keys to his car.
Would he do it anyways? I had been watching him so long, I would not let him do something so stupid as to drive in this condition.
I approached silently once more, keeping a distance but still close enough he could see me. I smiled faintly, he hadn't noticed me before him yet. Advantage again.
"You seek the wrong ones for a life mate." My soft voice stated. "Let me take you home?" He wanted to go home and wallow, I knew it. He knew it. But he wouldn't be wallowing behind his wheel.
Overhead the dark threatening clouds finally opened up and started to down pour. As if they knew his sorrow and his pain. They wanted to weap too as he did. I stood still, the rain did not bother me. The look on his face did.
I felt a brief moment of stupidity for revealing myself to him after all this time. But fondness does make the heart grow weak, and he was my weakness.

 

[truthpurveyor]

The voice coming from nearby startled me and I turned, dropping the keys as I spun.

Watching the pair of keys bounce and slide directly into a nearby drain I laughed as I raised my eyes.


"I guess the ride is the best offer I've gotten in a long while" I told her, then stepped back as I took a GOOD look at her.

"What do you know about me and my "lifemate" and how?" I questioned her as my eyes roamed her lithe figure, the image of a hunting feamle wolf coming to mind. "And I don't believe we've ever met? My name is ..."


"Eric, Eric O'Ray" She finished for me with a slow smile, her dark eyes riveted to my face as if searching for something...

"You seem to have me at an advantage, Miss....." I replied, my eyes unable to leave hers as I searched for her identity.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I moved from the shadows offering his own name to him with a slight smile.
"It is a small town, and there for easy to know whom is whom." The sultry husky tone of my voice not changing as I slowly moved forward into the street light iluminating his form. My eyes searched his face, over the years he had changed much. But still the same eyes. My mind flashed back to his 16th birthday.

The music was blaring loud as car after car arrived at the O'Ray home. Teens piling into his house bring all kinds of gifts and merriment. I stood back in the shadows as I always had done, just observing. Why this young man attracted my attention I did not know. I had just woken that night and heard his call from his bedroom window. All he was hoping for, Allison. She was coming to his party and he was hoping beyond anything he would at least get his first kiss from the girl. Something drew me down the mountain to watch over him. I sat and watched as the lights went low, the slow music came over the speakers and he and Allison danced for the first time that night. I smiled, encouraging him to take his first move. To take a kiss from her and see her reaction. I knew by the girls scent and accelerated heart beat, she wanted the same thing. He had taken her hand and led her outside. Sitting her down he had asked her to "go steady" with him and he would be the happiest guy in school. promising to never mistreat her, always make her smile. I left then, Satisfied for the moment.
And So I had from that night on. There when he failed and when he achieved everything in life so far. I never came unless he needed me. And again tonight, He had a need of me. If for nothing more than to ease his loneliness.

I came back to where I was and who I was talking to. I had walked that night down from my hidden home in the mountains. I did not drive ever. "I shall call you a taxi and see you safely home Eric." As if the words were the phone call itself a taxi arrived in the parking lot. "Well that was easy, come with me." I grasped his hand in mine and lead him towards the car. His skin was warm where mine was cool. It felt interesting to actually touch him. Before tonight I had never dared to get that close to him.
"I am Lily. I do not come to town often enough for someone to know me. But I know of you Eric. Here, let's get you home." I helped him into the taxi and gave his home address to the driver. I turned in my seat next to him and looked him straight in the eye.
"You will find the one when you are ready. Only you can decide when you are truly ready to accept something you would not normally accept as reality. I am here for you, and I will always be here for you. All I can tell you is, you called me. Not in the way you are thinking, but in a spiritual sense of the word." I fell silent the cab driver was listening to intently.
We arrived at Eric's house.

 

[Princess Satana]

Katrina

I walked in to the bar my boots making a clicking sound on the floor. I loved the way people urned to watch me saunter in. I knew i stood out, in my blackleather cape with Rip cut out in the back, short black leather skirt that stuck to my ample legs, long hair streaked with blue and pink dye, left free to fall to my wiast and black lip stick.

However beneath this I knew I was vunerable, the world was cruel and love was a twisted game. My eyes were drawn to the drunk at the bar and the woman who was all over him as they left.

I was tempted to join him in his state of suspended animation. I sat at the bar, my guitar on my lap.

" What ever you got that is strong enough to kill "I told the bar tender dropping a wad of bills on the counter " And plenty of it"

I watched the couple leave and ignored the bar tender's question.

The waitress came up to me and I stared her in the eyes with absolutely no emotion.

"Would you be a dear and try to catch them, the lady left her purse"

I stared at her and the purse in her hand, I slugged down the rest of the beer and took it from her with out another word.

I hurried after them and saw the cab leaving.

I hailed another one and told the fat driver to follow that car.

I don't know why I bothered but i had an obligation to take this back....the sooner I did the sooner I could get back to drinking.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Lilly's words stunned me, her references of always being there for me not fully understood...

"Hey lady..." I began slowly "I know I've had a lil too much to drink....But I'm not that far gone. I've never metcha...and BELIEVE me, I'd remember a sweet number like you...."

Leaning towards her I finally was able to get a good look at her face and found a second surprise...


"You do look familiar though..." I stuttered as the cab slowed down in front of my house "have we met in the past?"

The cab stopped and we stepped out and I handed over a bill paying him off...then realized Lilly was standing next to me.

"Ahhh, Did you want to come in?" I asked, still unsettled by her words and the references. Then another thought hit me and I smiled.

"Yes, that would be a good idea...Why don't you come in and I'll make a pot of coffee, and we can get to the bottom of this"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I looked him up and down, he was generating an idea in his head already. I smiled a knowing smile, he was drunk but not shy. Good. I did not have time to sit and talk to a blushing male. Though I should have known this, he had never been shy. Even as a teenager, dared to do something he would do it.
I nodded my head, walking up the pathway.
"Well? Coming or not Eric? Though I know the way, I dont posses a key." I would refuse his offer of coffee, but he did need to sober up some. It would be pointless of me to speak with him if he would not remember in the morning.
I stopped the his door and waited for him to open it up for me.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Opening the door I ushered the mysterious woman inside, showing her the tidy, organized living room as we walked thru it to the kitchen...


"I'll make the coffee" I told her as she seated herself at the counter..."Do you want something stiffer?"

Her negative reply as she looked about the anal organized room made me offer an explanation.

"Since the "break up" I haven't had a lot to do....so I cleaned the dang house a liitle"

The simple chore done I set a quick table...coffee cups, sausage and cheese, a second trip for the utensils and I sat across from her then began to slice the meat and cheese....

"Uhhhh" I exclaimed and looking down saw I had drawn blood, then wrapped the offended digit in a convenient paper towel, as I questioned her. "Now have we met before, or am I going crazy?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

The scent of blood made me senses spin a little, a heady feeling came over me. It was so hard to sit there and not take that fresh blood into my mouth and suckle. I bit down on my tongue a second my eyes drifting closed briefly.
Breathing in and out a few times, My lids parted as my dark eyes took him in. In the light I knew he would see all of me clearly for the first time ever.
I smiled, my black tresses falling over my shoulder as my crystal blue orbs ventured of his features. I stood and removed my long over coat. Revealing a tightly fitting white form fitting dress. I placed the coat over the back of the chair and sat once again. I crossed my legs to the side nearest him and gave him a slight smile. One that was too vague to messure its meaning.
"After you left the service and returned home, You ran into me one night out jogging in the park. Do you recall?" I declined the food and sat looking him straight in the eyes. Such sexy features, one any woman would love to caress and kiss. I let those thoughts die for now. I was not here to use him, I was here to bring him with me.
Fear would stop him from joining me if I went to fast for him. He was hurting too, still with that pain he would want comfort. Should she offer it to him? It would be too hard to explain to him, his house was not her safe haven. No she needed him in her own home. Where there was darkness surrounding in every nook and craney.
"Let me look at that wound.." I took his hand in mine, my eyes still holding his as I bent forward over the table looking under the paper towel. It wasn't too deep, but she couldn't heal him either. He could freak out on her.
As I bent forward I felt his eyes travel down my cleavage my dress revealed. I smiled a little, still not invading his thoughts. For once I did not want to know what he was thinking, I wanted him to tell me what he wanted.
Given time he would, if she was persuasive enough.

 

[truthpurveyor]

The vision that greeted me as her coat slid off took my breath away...Each part flowed into the next...the hair, the face with those soul searching eyes...down to the dress that covered but not hid any of the curvaceous body within it, rather accented the proud nipples that pushed at the sheer white fabric...

Barely comprehending her words as I watched her lips move I shook my head at the mention of me leaving the service...

"I remember the park where I used to run, yeah" I told her trying to recall the past "And the last time I ran there I thought I broke my leg"

I had slammed into a tree stump, trying to avoid someone on the path...and when I woke up there was a face above me...

"THAT WAS YOU?" I questioned her with a start "I thought it was a dream, caused by me blacking out, cause my leg was fine when I came to"

The recollection of her face became crystal clear, as did another thought that came to my lips...

"You haven't aged a bit, rather more beautiful now than ten years ago" I complimented her honestly

Her gentle touch as she took my hand gave me another start, as something passed between us and I watched her face...a flash of raw hunger passing over it before she lowered the napkin.

Eying the full, twin peaks that revealed themselves as she leaned forward, then back I told her another honest statement...

"Look, I owe you my gratitude...You got me home and kept me outta the clink. But if you stay here I'm going to do my best to get you in my bed. I'm only human, you know?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I was a little stunned by his comment, I knew he was forward but this forward? It took my breath away and at the same time made my center clench tightly in responce to the tone of his voice.
"Yes.. It was me that night, And you didn't break it, merely hurt yourself a little.." How could I explain I healed him that night with my own blood? Telling him would only bring fear to his lovely eyes and disgust for me. I smiled timidly, "Perhaps I should go then?" My heart pounded as I looked into his eyes across the table. I knew more about him then his own mother knew. I knew his desires and his fantasies. I knew his weaknesses and his strong points. And I also knew what he was like in bed. I seen it a few times, shamed to speak so aloud but it was true. Since he had accidently ran into me, the fascination did not end there but got worse.
"No.. I suppose I haven't aged have I?" I gulped down the desired questions I longed to ask him and glanced up at the clock. "Perhaps it is best I leave for the night, and when you wish to see me just call. Or if you are as brave as I think you are, come to Windsor Cliff. You know the house up there. The old victorian home? It is mine." I stood from the chair, not bothering to pull down the skirt that had ridden up.
The desire in his eyes, a look I had longed to see for so long, gave me pleasure beyond words. I felt the answering call inside my wicked soul. I wanted nothing more than to shove him against the nearest wall and take what I wanted, but it would have to wait. For when he was ready for me.
A nymph is one thing, a vampire is another.
How would I explain the k-9's that extended durring sex? How could I explain the agressive behavior? No this was best until he was used to me. He was at the right age now, if he was willing. I waited for him to speak, see how badly he truely wanted me there.

 

[truthpurveyor]

The food and coffee had sobered me, plus the realization that the woman I faced was beyond unique...

"I won't hold you down and rape you" I replied gently, watching her nostrils flare and her eyes widen in response "Not unless you want me to?"

The lame joke was out of my mouth and I kicked myself silently, looking at the lithe figure as she stood.

"Look, I'm going thru a tough time right now and won't saddle you with the details, I just thought you might enjoy the company as much as I would"

Stepping over I picked the coat off the chairs back and raised it to her shoulders, lifting the dark long tresses of her hair as I slid the long coat under it. My hands found both her shoulders as I tugged the coat into place, the coolness of them giving me an overwhelming urge to kiss her long neck...

"Thank You, you're a lifesaver" I told her, lowering my lips and feathering them over her skin..."Perhaps sometime I can return the favor"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

That was all it took to break past the defenses I built around myself for protection. That one heated kiss on my neck, sent shivers down my spine and back up again. I knew it was hopless to pretend it didn't effect me. All he had to do was look down and see how hard my nipples stuck out through my dress.
I shivered again, my eyes falling closed as I fought the urges once again. centuries without a man's touch was not long in a vampire's life, but eon's in a moment when actually touched.
I felt myself sink backwards into his body, my breathing picking up.
"Company? Yes.. I would like some company.." I did not move from his embrace, I had no desire to.
"Hold me down and rape me huh?" I smiled a little, dominate males were fun. "Can you rape someone who is willing Eric?" His name rolled off my tongue with practiced ease, erotic in a way the tone of my voice. I waited in suspended air, "Do you want my company enough to show me?" A cocky challenging smile lit my features, waiting to see his reaction to my bold move.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Lilly's body pressed against mine, her firm ass rubbing into my groin as her words tore at me in thier throaty growl.

"Can you rape someone who is willing Eric?" Her words rang thru my head and my very soul

"Only on some literotica web site" I replied to her as I lowered my lips and kissed her neck again, hearing the rest of her words.

"Show you?" I responded, gently turning her to face me and looking into her crystal blue eyes...

For a long eternity I held her and slowly fell into the pool of her eyes, feeling as if my soul was being drawn into them, then pulled back.

"The only way I know how is this" I told her in a husky, passion filled voice, lowering my lips to hers and taking the first kiss.....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I smiled at his words, yes only online could you rape someone willing. I moaned again as his hands took hold of me and turned me to face him once again. He lips met mine, and our tongues danced. I melted into the kiss my body craving his in a very natural way.
I felt the wetness gathering between my thighs and knew soon those damned fangs would pop out. I had to stop this! I could not give into him just yet, he would be scared if he seen what i truely was before knowing me. I reached out placing my hand against his chest and pushing back.
We broke apart my desire shining brightly in my eyes as I panted for breath.
"No Eric. Not yet. You are not ready for me. And.. Fuck! I best go. Come to me tomorrow night. Windsor Cliffs.. The old house I will be waiting for you." I walked back up to him, barely a breath away. My chest heaving with pent up desire to fuck him right then and there.
No no.. Not yet. Dammit!
I stopped myself from kissing him just a breath away. My hand landed over his beating heart, I knew he was excited. Hell I was screaming inside for him to take me, but damned if it would fuck everything up.
"Tomorrow Eric, dont forget." I moved past him and to the door, I stopped a moment, but left without turning back.
Outside the air was cold and harsh on me. Helping to relieve the pent up desires. But not for long, my body hummed everywhere to feel his touch.
"Soon my sweet.. Very soon I will show you.." Weary I moved into the shadows and with the speed only a creature of the night had, I made my way home.
Brennen greeted me at the door with a goblet of blood and a bow before he went to bed. Too bad Brennen wasn't the one I wanted. Or I could have found release that night.
I walked up to bed, shedding my clothes as I entered my room. i stopped to gaze in the mirror. High breasts, long nipples, hairless body except for on my head. My abs were tight my ass was still round. And that was why I was changed at the nice age of 24 back before even cars were around.
I sat on my bed and laid back, remembering the look in Eric's eyes. He wanted me, but he still did not know who or what I was. I fell into a dreamless sleep with the promise that soon he would know and choose between enternal life with me, or merely a meal.

 

[truthpurveyor]

Lilly's rapid departure left me puzzled and confused.... Each touch between us was electric, each kiss was more than words could describe, and bringing out a longing in me I had never faced before...

Walking to the open door, I knew I stood at two thresholds and a decision that I had fought with was made.
Somewhere in my great scheme, my entire perfect plans so carefully laid out.... I had lost.
"What a pathetic failure you are, Eric" I heard the words come from my lips as my own stepfather had spoken them. "You'll never amount to much, you aint got the guts, never had.... never will"
Shaking my head as I walked thru the house I looked at the pile of boxes in every corner, each neatly labeled for it's contents and to whom it would go.


Sleep came easy to me that evening, and I woke refreshed and rested, my mind at ease with the decisions I had made and now eager to see them carried thru. A small bag with the necessities, and a leather case holding the only legacy from my service days and I was into the taxi as it pulled up.
Backtracking from the previous nights trip the driver dropped me at Sam’s bar and I used my spare set of keys…The old pickup chugged to life, her engine running smoothly and for a moment I let myself think of the strange woman I had come face to face with last night.

“Too late” I told myself as I pulled out of the gravel parking and headed out of town, taking a look in my mirror for the last time…

Several miles later the engine coughed quietly and died, and despite my best attempts to coax it into life it resisted, sitting in it’s iron shell silently.

“You’re going to make me walk, aren’t you?” I asked it as I looked around for a hint of where I was and the nearest help…

“ Windsor Cliffs” The sign announced quietly, and I smiled as I walked to the huge house that overshadowed it, the setting sun giving it an eerie glow as I knocked on the door.

“I’d like to borrow your phone, if I may?” I asked the pale skinned man that opened the door “I don’t want to bother you, but my truck has left me stranded, the story of my life lately….”

The man silently pointed to a well-polished table where the phone sat and I walked towards it….

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

The sun set and my eyes instantly opened. Anger coursed through me in a heart beat. So he thought he could just walk away from everything and everyone who loved him did he? I rose from my bed, not bothering to dress. I pulled on a robe and walked silently down the stairs. There he stood on the phone talking to someone, then hung up.
"Eric..... Come with me." My words spoken left no room for arguement. I turned around and started back up the way I had come. To my darkened room. Safe haven until I was fully awake.
"Come Eric... I wish to speak with you. Alone." I entered my room and sat down on the very edge of the bed. As he came near the door, I instructed him to shut it and sit in the chair before me. My temper was riled up high, mad at him for letting his step father torment him so with those words, and at myself for not staying last night. Eric needed to know that monster wasn't his father, and he needed to know I needed him.
I sat waiting to see if he was brave enough to enter the lion's den.

 

[truthpurveyor]

I wasn't stunned at her appearance, rather puzzled as she once again knew things that were privy only to me....Her lithesome figure was barely covered in the sheer robe she had wrapped about herself, telling me she wore nothing beneath it as she invited me to join her.

*It would be a way to find out HOW she knows so much about me* I told myself as I watched her move back to her room *All it will cost me is a little time*

Walking up the wide stairway I turned down the open hallway of her second floor and stopped at her doorway, trying to get used to the darkened interior.

"You seem to know a great deal about me, all from a chance meeting in a park ten years ago, and yet I have a feeling I have known you longer" I spoke into the dim room, my vision slowly adapting as I made out her figure in the shadows...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I patted the bed, "Come and sit with me Eric." I waited til he moved forward enough for me to grasp his hand. I tugged him to the bed. I will tell you a story, but first you have to decided what you want more? Do you want to stay with me and accept all that entail? Love, happiness, youth? Or do you wish to leave here and never know why you know me? Never understand, never trust again? It is up to you Eric. I will give you one month here with me, To see if you can accept me as I am. Or you can go and never look back." I sighed, leaning back a little as my robe parted to reveal my creamy skin beneath.
"Dont do it for sex, dont do it out of boredom. Do it because you truely desire to be around me, get to know me. Let me show you things." My voice took on a velvety quality to it. I was aroused and with that arousal came the fangs, the sensual wild scent that would drive men to want her if she but moved their way a fraction of an inch.
"My reasons for stopping you? I've been watching over you since the tender young age of your 16th birthday... I have waited for you to reach maturity. Explore life, get success you desired. Learn all you wanted to and feel content. I also waited for your only family to die before approaching you. Now it is just you Eric. And You are very much aware of that loneliness.. Now I ask you again.. Will you stay a month, never leaving this house without me and just get to know me. In that month if you are miserable, you may leave.." I did not mention the fact he would leave with a cleared mind and never recall her from then on.

 

[truthpurveyor]

"I've never bowed to any man or woman, Lilly" I told her reluctantly "If you have truly followed me, you know that"

Standing beside her I knew then that this was not just ANY woman, that beneath her beauty there lay a secret that could either enhance her image or destroy it completely...

"Lilly, you know that I have lost all that I loved and put no value in physical possessions, don''t you" I asked her, watching her eyes as she nodded

"All I have left is my own "self" and if it that is what you wish to hold as your captive or slave, then I'm truly sorry, I can't"

" As beautiful and alluring as you are, I need to find out what makes me happy or I may just use the one memory I brought with me"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

I stood up from the bed approaching him. My hands moved, one to his cheek and one to his shoulder. I looked up into his eyes, leaning forward I pressed my lips to him as that electric feeling shot through me once more. I groaned before stepping back and releasing him. I wondered if he felt it too?
"I do not look for a slave or a toy. Or even a one night stand. I look for love. Deep binding love of someone who I believe has that inner strength I myself need. I won't hold you here, and I would never make you stay. As I said last night, you called to me. Woke me for some reason, and I've watched over you ever since that night. Encouraged you when you didn't know it. Warned you of danger, been that little voice inside your head guiding you for your own bennefit. I stayed out of your relationships. It was not my place to say a word there. But I was there threw it all. Watching, always watching and wanting inside you. You do not understand, and I can not just explain it with words.."
I stepped up to him again, my eyes searching his face. "My soul, what little I have left of one, wants you. Always has.." I moved away from him, once again I sat down on the bed. "I only wish to bring you happiness you've never felt before. No more no less. I ask nothing from you but genuine feelings. I only ask you to stay here in a guest bedroom with me and see if you can return what I have felt for you since the night I seen you." I stood and looking down untied my robe. Letting it fall open, I stood and let it drop to the floor. Turning very slowly my eyes held his once again.
"Ask and you shall receive."

 

[truthpurveyor]

"The sheer beauty of Lilly's body was enough to take my breath away, yet I did not stare at it...Each part of her complimented the next, her long neck, rounded shoulders and firm upturned breasts all creating a vision men usually only dreamt of...

Her actions were not that of a wanton hussy though...rather a baring of her "soul" she claimed to have so little of.

"Lilly, This coming too fast for me" I told her as I bent and rerieved the robe she had let fall "And I don't want to make another mistake"

Gently pulling the robe around her shoulders I covered the vision that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

"After you left me I made a decision that has been on my mind for sometime" I told her as I teid the small belt that held the robe in place and stepped back. "Just touching you has awoken more feelings than I have ever felt and listening to your words tells me you are not the average person as well"

I had felt an urge to take her in my arms and crush her lips to mine but the feeling had quickly dimmed once I had stepped back.

"You spoke of love, companionship and a deep love, I'll admit that has been all I have ever wanted in my life as well. But each time it's been within my grasp, I've lost it and all because of one word...Trust"

Taking a deep breath I held out my hand to her, wanting to touch her, make love so badly to her that my body was trembling I told her what had puzzled me since we had met...

"Lilly, I had nearly forgotten meeting you in the park that evening, but remember it clearly now...You were bent over me when I awoke, and I tasted something in my mouth that I assumed was my own blood...and the leg that I knew was broken was somehow healed. This I explained away over the years as a pain induced "dream" and let it go..."

Looking directly into her blue, blue eyes I finished my statement and questioned her.

"But the one thing has puzzled me, and can't be explained away is this...You haven't aged a single day, since we met...and it's been over ten years by your own admission. Will you tell me why, so that I can understand and trust you?"

My hand was still stretched out for hers as I watched her eyes, knowing the answer that she gave me would decide my fate......

I reached out and took his hand in mine, stepping up to him. "I would never lie to you, but I hate the thought of seeing fear and repulsion in your eyes. I do not want to see the rejection there either.. And yet you can't trust me until you know." I sighed, looking up in his eyes I finally spoke up and admitted what I was after centuries of not telling a soul.
"I am vamprye.." He looked bemused as if I was making it up. "I am centuries old Eric. I was changed when I was 26 years old back in 1796.." I closed my eyes to keep from seeing his reaction while I opened my mouth and let my fangs extend. As they grew longer and longer I felt his hand grip mine. I opened my eyes and closed my lips. "I gave you my blood, I had you drink from me to save your life. You had lost too much blood by slicing a main artery in your thigh when that femur snapped...." I stepped back from him fading a little into the darkness around the bed.
"Now you know, and you hold my fate in your hands. I will not lie to you, even if it means my own life." I was afraid, trembling with it as I watched for his reaction to all of this. I expected laughter, from words, so I showed him with actions. I had yet to show him speed and mind control. I was waiting to see if he accepted what I said or If he would laugh. Perhaps run from me?
