Seth woke up groggy
and confused. He quickly became aware he had absolutely no idea where he was.
Burgundy satin
sheets were tangled around his naked frame. He quickly sat up and looked down
at his muscular physique to find it riddled with red welts and scratch marks.
He shook his head, attempting to clear the cobwebs and tried to recall exactly
what happened the night before. How did he end up naked and looking like
he’d been in a cat fight in some stranger’s bedroom?
The room was
opulent, tastefully decorated and definitely feminine. He peered into the open
door of a large walk-in closet. There were burgeoning racks of stylish female clothing
and rows upon rows of high heeled shoes neatly lined up. Yeah, he was
definitely in some broad’s bedroom… but whose?
Obviously she had
money and good taste but he still had no recollection of meeting anyone or what
he had done the night before. Seth began to panic. He’d been drunk many times
in his life but never to the point of blacking out. It was enough to make him knock
off the boozing forever… if he could ever find his way out of this room.
He swung his legs
over the side of the bed and tried to stand up. Feeling dizzy and disorientated
he quickly sat down and grabbed one of the hand carved bedposts to steady
himself. What the hell did he drink anyway?
He felt weak, like
he was going to pass out so he fell back on the bed, face up. It startled him
to see his own naked image staring back from the mirrored canopy. Obviously
he’d had sex with a woman in this bed the night before. He couldn’t remember getting the life fucked out of him underneath this
mirror. If anyone needed to check into the Betty Ford Clinic
right now, it was Seth Andrews.
He gazed up at his
ghostly form and grimaced. “Goddamn Seth, you need to get some sun!” Now he was
talking to himself in somebody else’s bed, somewhere in “Where the fuck am I
land?". He continued to stare at his battered body hovering eerily
above him in total disbelief.
On just about any
day, Seth could easily attract any woman he wanted but right now he looked like
road kill that had been left out on the hot pavement too long. Except… he
wasn’t warm. In fact he was freezing. He blew out a puff of air and he could
see his own breath. Other than being inside of a meat locker once when he was a
kid, he‘d never recalled any room being this cold. He pulled the sheets around
his shivering body and hugged himself for some warmth.
Think you stupid
bastard - think! What had he done? Where did he go? What was the last thing he
remembered doing? He was
still wearing his Rolex - so he knew he hadn’t been rolled. He checked the date
to see that it was Sunday, November first and it was three in the afternoon. What
the hell? He’d had this watch since he graduated from law school twelve
years ago and it never lost a minute in time. He was almost hoping that was the
case… but he knew otherwise.
Looking at the image
of his battered body was more than he could handle so he rolled over on his
side and wrapped the sheets tighter around his aching frame. From the way he
felt, he must have been doing some very strenuous activity last night because
he had muscles aching he didn’t even know he owned.
He pulled his knees
up tightly against his body and cringed at the shooting pain in the left side
of his groin. He anxiously grabbed at his genitals and breathed a sigh of
relief. Yep, they were still there. At least she didn’t bite his dick
off!
Suddenly, a
flashback of getting the best blow job of his life hit him like a ton of
bricks. He labored to bring back the recollections of last night. He remembered
the oral sex - how could he forget it? This chick could suck the chrome off a
tailpipe with no problem. He lay across her bed and allowed the memories to
flood back as he fought off the dull ache that was invading his chilled body.
Last night was
Halloween. He’d agreed to meet with some former clients at a posh Hollywood
night spot on Wilshire Blvd to celebrate a civil case he’d successfully settled
for them out of court.
The Goldsteins had
money and connections so he could hardly afford to pass up the chance to gain
favor with them. His brand new Porsche was eating up his savings since the
market crashed. He might as well drum up some business and enjoy himself while
he was at it. Being a workaholic did have its perks.
The evening’s
entertainment turned out to be Sade and he was mesmerized by her exotic beauty
and the rich velvety sound of her voice. He’d only planned on staying for one
drink and wound up staying long after his clients left to enjoy the laid back
atmosphere of the club.
Sade was still as
beautiful as he remembered her to be. The music took him back to his college
days as she crooned the words to “Smooth Operator” into the microphone as he
sipped on a single malt scotch, neat.
That was the moment
he noticed her – the sultry vixen with the talented mouth and bright red
lips. He vividly recalled those red lips wrapped tightly around his throbbing
cock. The vision in his head was making his painful groin twitch. At the moment
his balls felt like they’d been sucked inside out but it sure felt good while
she was doing it. Now the vision was coming back vividly.
He watched as she approached him like a jungle
cat on the prowl from across the dance floor. Her svelte
body was draped in a
skin tight sheath of red velvet and her dark pageboy gleamed blue/black under
the soft barroom lighting. Her deep brown eyes peered into his steel blue ones
with an unscrupulous desire. He could feel her sensuality all the
way down to his core. This woman was born to fuck and he was certain she knew
it too.
He gave her a grin
as she slipped onto the high barstool next to him and placed her elbows on the polished
table. “Well hello there.” was all he managed to eke out but it was done with
as much debonair charm as he could muster. His dick was going to be doing all
the thinking for him tonight.
He managed to keep a
cool façade as she gazed at him with hypnotic dark eyes. She lowered her thick
lashes and sighed. Her voice was sultry. “You’re probably not going to believe
this but I normally don’t make a habit of meeting strange men in bars.” His
dick stiffened with each word that poured forth from between those pouty red
lips as she held out her slender hand. “My name’s Tatiana Du Bois.”
“Well Tatiana Du
Bois, I’m pleased you decided to break your habit.” He lifted her long fingers adorned
with bright red nails to his lips and kissed them lightly. Chivalry was
still alive and well in the City of Angels. “Seth Andrews… and the pleasure
is truly mine.”
He winked as she coyly
slipped her fingers from his grasp. A seductive smile exposed a hint of perfect
white teeth. He could already picture her naked, on top of him, doing very bad
things. His Armani trousers could barely contain his arousal.
Seth Andrews was
going to bed this beauty before the sun came up and hopefully she would be
receptive to the idea without much persuasion. So far his chances were
looking pretty good.
She gave him a serene
smile which revealed she was well aware of the effect she was having on him.
The softness of her voice played like a melody in his ear. “Well, the truth be
known, you remind me of someone I used to know and I couldn’t resist.”
His piercing blue
eyes sent chills down her cold spine. Tatiana had surveyed his tall muscular
frame from across the bar with pure lust for more than an hour. The slender
nose, the crooked grin, the high forehead, all seemed so familiar. She had a
pressing urge to run her fingers through his short and stylish chestnut waves. The
handsome lawyer could be a dead ringer for her ex and she had already decided
that he would look good immortal. She wasn’t walking out of this nightclub
without him. Her mind was made up. What Tatiana wanted, Tatiana got.
Seth could recall
very little about their night together… other than the coolness of her
alabaster skin as he glided his hands along the length of her long legs. He
remembered holding them apart by a pair of red fuck-me stilettos. Not to
mention the spectacular act of fellatio she so gloriously bestowed upon his
grateful penis.
Why couldn’t he
remember anything after that?
He felt like he’d been in a barroom fight. The woman had to be an animal in the
sack. From the looks of the claw marks up and down his chest and arms, he assumed
that he had returned the favor. His back felt like a kitten’s scratching post.
Too bad he hadn’t
been sober enough to witness her in action. Perhaps she’d give him another
chance and maybe he could manage to remain sober enough to slow her down a bit.
He couldn’t meet up with clients looking like he’d been beat up by a pussy cat.
Seth sensed movement
behind him and quickly turned his head to see his mysterious bed partner
standing at the foot of the bed looking like a dark goddess. She wore a black
silk kimono which hugged her curves. The fabric accentuated erect nipples
sitting high upon round firm breasts.
Raven tresses fell
softly about her shoulders and her red lips were just as luscious as he
remembered in contrast to her translucent, flawless skin. He became hard again despite
the dull pain he was experiencing in his groin.
She spoke to him in
a voice so seductive that even the wildest of beasts would kneel at her feet.
“Good morning, my darling. I trust you slept well last night?” Dark mysterious
eyes focused on his growing
interest in her as he rolled over to admire the ravishing beauty.
He attempted to
stretch his sore muscles and winced. “Apparently last night I was feeling no
pain… but I can’t say that now.” He placed his hands across the broad span of
his chest and grinned slightly. “What the hell did we do last night?”
He continued to
stare at his exotic hostess. “I’m not in the habit of drinking until I lose my
memory.” He raised one eyebrow. “I assume we had a good time… am I right?”
There was an evilness
in the way she tilted her head to smile at him. “You don’t remember?” She
leaned seductively against the bedpost and whispered. “You were an animal.”
The term, sex kitten entered his thoughts as he
ran his hands along the bloody marks across his chest and upper arms. “We
must’ve brought it out in one another.”
Tatiana’s eyes traveled
over Seth’s sinewy body as she leaned across the rumpled bed linens. Her eyes
caught his momentarily. His glance was quickly averted to her bare breasts spilling
out of the low neckline of her gown. “Feel like breakfast in bed?” She asked coolly.
He looked at his
watch again. “Um, sure… although it’s nearly dinner time.” He stretched his
body once again trying to loosen up. “But I’m game if you’re on the menu for
dessert?”
She answered with a
raspy growl. “I am… if you’ll be my main course.” She crawled seductively
across the bed towards him on her hands and knees like a panther on the prowl.
If Seth hadn’t been so focused on Tatiana’s pendulous breasts bobbing beneath
her kimono he might have noticed her dark eyes turning pale or the gleaming
white fangs erupting from her jaws between those enticing red lips but… it was too late.
Seth pulled her
close to get a taste of her luscious mouth when he heard a deep growl come from
low in her throat. His face showed startled surprise as he held her at arm’s
length to gaze into ice cold silver blue eyes of a monster. Her signature red
lips were parted by long canine incisors that loomed dangerously close to his
neck.
Seth’s eyes widened
as his startled words escaped his mouth. “What the hell are you?” He tried
desperately to push her away but her strength was immeasurable and he was no
match as she hovered dangerously close to his throat. He tried to shift his
body from one side to another but she held him stationary beneath her in a
death-like grip. His mind was racing with thoughts of pure terror as he
desperately attempted to wriggle free of her grasp. He raged at her. “Let go of
me you crazy bitch!”
Tatiana laughed with
a throaty quality that bordered on pure evil. “Andre darling, that’s no way to
talk to a lady and besides you know what I really am… don’t you darling?” Her
voice purred as her grip on his body remained concrete.
Seth’s nostrils
flared, his brow furrowed in pure hatred for the entity that loomed on top of him.
There was panic and confusion in his response. “There is no such thing as
vampires! Who the hell is Andre?”
Tatiana continued to
reign over him with a look that wavered between angelic and demonic. It sent
terror ripping through Seth’s very soul. He was hypnotized by fear and morbid curiosity.
“Sorry Seth, it was
a Freudian slip… You look so much like him. I was caught up in the moment.” She
smiled insanely as she leered. “I promise darling, never to do that again.” His
eyes were focused on her razor sharp fangs. She continued to pull him deeper and
deeper under her hypnotic spell.
Seth felt as if he
were moving in slow motion with every passing moment their bodies lay tangled
together between the burgundy satin sheets. His struggling seemed to excite her
and increase her unparalleled strength. Inciting him to continue to fight
against her powerful hold.
Seth realized what
prey must feel like at the moment of capture. He was powerless to fend her off.
Vulnerable but not willing to give in as long as he still had some survival
instinct left. Ironically, another part of him wanted to surrender to her
wickedness. He wanted to know the mystery of what lay beneath her dispassionate,
undead heart.
She continued to hold
his gaze with her silver tinged ghostly eyes. They were hauntingly beautiful.
It was as if he was staring into crystal balls that foretold his fate awaiting
so near.
He couldn’t hold her
off a minute longer. His arms weakened and collapsed beneath the weight of her
slender body as if she weighed a thousand pounds. Tatiana could sense the
defeat of his will surrendering to her power. His ability to fight off the
power of a two hundred and twenty year old vampire for as long as he did was
impressive. Seth was going to make a wonderful immortal mate, a complete match
for her in every way.
Seth released a
mournful groan from deep within. He was grieving for the impending loss of his humanity.
He seemed to accept his fate.
Tatiana hoped that
she had finally found a cure for the never ending hunger of her long lost beloved
Andre. Maybe she could accept her immortal lover’s rejection if she could
replace him with a new found obsession.
She stroked Seth’s
handsome face, dreaming of the everlasting future they would share together. Seth
had no idea of the powers she could bestow upon him. He would eventually appreciate
her gift of immortality. She was convinced of that. A powerful vampire was
going to arise from a mere mortal man in just moments.
Tatiana would sire
him differently. She wouldn’t make the same mistakes as she did with Andre. This
mortal would make her forget the undying love she held for the vampire that
abandoned her long, long ago.
Her sharp fangs
snapped through his taut skin and sunk deep into the side of his muscular
throat. The taste of his blood was exquisite as it flowed onto her tongue. She
could sense Seth’s mortal soul slowly begin to depart from his body. Soon, she
would return the rich sanguine fluid to his body along with the limitless powers
of a regal and powerful vampire.
The room became
darker as Seth felt the life draining from his body and his earthly pain
diminished. He had begun to believe that he was surrendering willingly to this
beautiful dark eyed vampire.
His impending demise
was put on hold abruptly as Tatiana’s body was lifted violently from his nearly
lifeless form. Too weak to move, he was witness to the unbelievable struggle
that was taking place on the floor next to the bed.
Tatiana’s plan to
sire Seth was cut short by a sudden lurch from behind. A beautiful blonde
vampire yanked the raven haired seductress by her tresses and dragged her to
the floor. Tatiana’s fangs released prematurely from her future fledgling’s
throat.
Chrissa cried out.
“No Tatiana! Not again!” Chrissa yanked at Tatiana’s black silk gown, tearing
it from her body.
Tatiana screamed as
she struggled to return to her hapless victim on the bed. “No! No! Let me go
Chrissa! Let me finish turning my beloved new Andre!”
Seth held his throat
and gasped for air as the life Tatiana tried to drain from him slowly returned.
The sudden appearance of the blonde beauty was a welcomed sight as he watched
in stunned amazement while these two beautiful women grappled with one another
in a desperate battle for domination.
Tatiana tore the
white dressing gown from Chrissa and threw her to the floor. The two nude women
rolled around violently on the rug beside the bed, scratching and clawing at
one another. Seth found the strength to scramble to the other side of the bed
and watched in horror and confusion as these two beauties battled one another
like a couple of jungle cats for dominance.
Tatiana’s scramble
to get away from Chrissa was futile because Chrissa’s determination to prevent
her from returning to Seth was stronger. Soon Tatiana lay on the floor with Chrissa
straddling her, pinning her wrists above her head. She pleaded with the raven
haired vampire. “Why Tati? Why?” There were tears in Chrissa’s blue eyes as she
looked into Tatiana’s velvet brown ones. “I’ve dedicated my life to try to make
you happy and this is how you repay me? Why?”
Tatiana’s eyes were
full of pain as she looked up at Seth sitting on the bed. She turned back to
her loving blonde companion of so long and softly replied. “Just look at him Chrissa.
Just look at that beautiful man.”
Chrissa didn’t turn
around. She kept her gaze exclusively on the love of her life. “I see Tati… but
he’s not HIM! He will never be him! It was wrong of you to do this! It didn’t
work with Andre. How could you possibly think it would work with a total
stranger?” Her heartbreak was evident as she pleaded with the distraught Tatiana.
Chrissa turned
towards Seth who sat naked and stunned on the opposite side of the bed. She
narrowed her eyes and hissed at him. “Get out! Get out now and never come
back!” She motioned her head towards the bedroom door as she held the still
struggling dark eyed vixen beneath her. “Your clothes are over there. Take them
and leave now! Forget what you’ve seen here and never tell a soul.” Her voice
lowered. “Trust me if you say anything to anyone, you’ll regret it.” Her eyes
turned pale and fangs protruded from her upper jaw as she glared at him. “Get
out!”
She didn’t have to tell
him again. Adrenaline took over as Seth launched his weakened body off the bed.
He scrambled to the large wingback chair where his suit and shoes lay crumpled in
a pile. He quickly gathered them but couldn’t resist turning back for one last look
at the carnage before he ran from the room.
The blonde and
brunette were lying on the floor completely naked and wrapped in an embrace as
they softly wept together. Seth would never be able to get that image out of
his head for the rest of his days.
He didn’t bother
getting dressed as he found his way to the front door of the estate. The warmth
of the sun felt seraphic on his chilled naked body. He frantically looked for his
car and spotted it, parked at an awkward angle toward the end of the driveway. He
stopped long enough to pull his trousers on and breathed a sigh of relief when
he heard the keys jingling in his pocket. He would wait until he was safely in
his car before he had a total meltdown.
Seth sprinted across
the manicured lawn in his bare feet as he clutched his shoes and clothes under
his arm. His legs carried him swiftly to the relative safety of his Porsche.
Once he was safely
inside, with the doors locked, he gripped the steering wheel and took a series
of rapid deep breaths trying to calm down. He looked in the rear view mirror
and nervously ran his trembling fingers through his short hair at his pale
image with sunken eyes and dark circles.
He didn’t want to
believe what he’d just witnessed. He tilted his head back and ran his fingers
across the puncture wounds on the side of his throat. Two narrow stripes of
dried blood ran down the length of his neck to his shoulder. He wasn’t having
some kind of hallucination. It really did happen.
He sat in his sports
car laughing and weeping like some kind of crazed lunatic. His pulse kept a
steady beat on the side of his throat. He was alive. He had been mere seconds
from death and he could still feel the lonely despair of preparing to meet his
fate at the hands of a bloodthirsty female monster. His body began to tremble
uncontrollably.
Seth looked up at
the stately mansion with its manicured lawns and ornamental shrubbery as he noted
the street address. He never wanted to drive past this house again for as
long as he lived. He started his engine, spun the powerful sports car around in
the driveway and sped out onto the street of the upper class Brentwood
neighborhood. When he reached Santa Monica Blvd, he headed west toward his home
at the beach. Trying hard not to think about what happened, even though it was the
only thing on his mind.
His thoughts turned
to a man by the name of Andre who obviously wasn’t as lucky as he was. He had
been human. Eventually the poor bastard must have gotten away from Tatiana but
obviously not before she turned him into a monster like herself.
Seth would search
for a face that looked like his in every crowd from this day on. An intense
sadness came over Seth for the stranger. Chrissa must not have been around the
fateful night Tatiana chose Andre for her life partner. Seth’s heart was heavy
for the mysterious undead victim of the night.
He arrived at his
Malibu beachfront home just as the sun was beginning to set into the ocean. He
sat below his deck overlooking the Pacific and relished the feel of warm sand
between his toes as he gazed out at the big orange glowing ball of fire. Never
had a sunset been so beautiful.
The water and sky
turned to a golden haze before darkness set in when the sun dipped below the
horizon. He sat listening to the waves and silently celebrating his mortal
soul. He breathed in the salt air and spoke softly to himself.
“Seth, you are
one lucky son of a bitch.”
The End
