2024-10-29 19:42:56"Well, Nathaniel, now that you have the answer you came for, I will say goodbye to you. I have some things to check on."
"Will you be busy for the rest of the night?"
"Maybe. Why do you ask?"
"Do you dance, Dominique?"
"Sometimes. Every once in a while, someone will ask me to dance. Occasionally I accept. It's usually one of my regulars. Why do you ask?"
"I did mention that I wanted to check out the local club. I didn't come in here looking for a band to audition for. I've danced with a few women. But you're the one who caught my attention. Would you be willing to save a dance for me tonight?"
"Um, sure, I guess. If you're still here, I'll find you," Dominique replied.
"I'll be here for the rest of the night. I look forward to seeing you later," I said, taking her hand and kissing it again.
She walked away, and I saw Melissa trailing after her. I watched as they talked, and suddenly Dominique took off. I thought it was strange, but I didn't really know what was going on, so I let it be. I decided to blend in and make it look normal that I was at a bar. I danced with a couple of women, but my mind was on Dominique the whole time. Her scent was stuck in my head. Of course, I could smell everything in the bar, which was harsh on my senses. However, her smell was the one I kept waiting to smell. I could tell it from everything else.
Eventually, I began to play pool. I was in the middle of a game when I smelled it. I handed my pool stick to someone else and began to follow the smell as I went to find Dominique. As her scent began to strengthen, I saw her step out from behind a man. He was so much taller than her that he had hidden her. I couldn't stop the smile from slipping onto my face as I saw her. Her desire made it that much harder to keep my thoughts from running to sex.
I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her against me as I whispered to her, "Are you ready to dance now, Dominique?"
I pulled her tighter against me as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I danced with her the way I had learned as this day and age was very different from when I was born. Our bodies pushed into each other and ground together as the music played. Dominique looked into my eyes the entire time except when she turned her back to me and danced. It was as if she was mesmerized by me. Her arousal was intense by the time they called out last call.
I could tell she was having a hard time breaking away from me. I felt a slight shiver slide over her body as she looked over my face. I'm sure she could also see the desire on my face. I wanted her, and I couldn't even hide it. I know she felt my desire for her as I ground my hips into her several times and let her feel it. She finally stepped away from me, and I immediately felt her loss in my arms.
"Thank you for the dance. I have to go now and close down the bar," Dominique said, speaking loud enough for me to hear over the music.
She didn't know I could hear her, regardless of how low or loud she spoke. I grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"The pleasure was all mine, Dominique. Hopefully, we can dance together again sometime."
She smiled and said maybe. I watched her walk away and over to the bar. She had the bartender fix her a drink. I watched as Melissa walked over to her and started smiling. Dominique simply shook her head at her. I moved closer and heard Melissa telling Dominique that they would be speaking later. I moved out of the bar and around the back to the parking lot. I got in my car and drove to her home. I parked my car on a side street and headed into the woods. I would be waiting a little while, but it didn't bother me.
After a few hours, I heard Dominique pull up, or so I thought. I watched from the treeline as she got out of Melissa's car and came up on the porch. Why had Melissa dropped her off? I was worried that something had happened to her since she wasn't driving herself home. She sat down on her porch and began to look at the stars. Occasionally, she would look around like she was looking for something. Could she feel me watching her?
I heard her say, "It's possible you are going crazy, girlie," and giggled to herself.
When I noticed her beginning to slump down in her chair, I knew she was asleep. I walked up to the porch and slowly opened the door. I picked her up and took her inside. I walked around the house, checking out her place as I had never actually been inside before. I found the bedroom, laid her on the bed, and lay beside her. My desire for her was strong, but I had to fight it for now. I had to make her see me first.
Once she finally realized we had a connection, then I would make my move. I lay with her and stroked her face as she dreamed. This one wasn't bad, judging by the way her body reacted to it and the noises she made. It made my desire to have her much harder to deal with, but I continued to lay with her until it was almost sunrise. I knew it was time to go, but I hated it all the same. I wished I could have frozen time at that moment and be able to stay with her like that forever. Having her in my arms just felt right.

The next time I met with Dominique was at the restaurant she went to. I was watching outside her house, of course, and saw her walk out. She was dressed up like she was going on a date. I ran through the woods to my car. I started my car and waited until I saw her car come out of her long driveway. I waited until she was a few car lengths ahead and followed her. When she went into the restaurant, I waited outside for a few minutes. I walked in and immediately told the maitre d’ that I was meeting someone and pointed at a table. I began to walk over and quickly detoured to see the entire restaurant. I found Dominique sitting at a table, and I also saw someone sitting with her. I quickly realized that it was her ex. I moved closer and could hear her tell him that she was waiting for her date and he was running late from a meeting. I figured this was as good of a chance as any to get some alone time with Dominique without seeming to be a creep. However, I began to smell something I ha

My mind wandered to my life with Rose. First, it went to death, and how I had to watch her waste away. Back in those days, people did not live as long. She died at the age of 50. Looking into the diseases discovered since that time, I believe my Rose suffered from tuberculosis. I looked at Dominique and realized she had been staring at me. Her mind was turning, and I could see it written all over her face. I couldn’t have her asking questions just yet. I would explain all of it to her later. “I can see your mind is thinking of questions. However, I would request that you don’t ask them. Perhaps at a later date, I will be able to talk to you about it but not now. Ok?” “Ok. I can understand. There are things I would prefer not to talk about, also. My ex is one of them.” “Fair enough. Do you have any children, Dominique?” I watched as she touched her necklace. She wore it all the time. I had often wondered what it symbolized. Since I had not heard the whole story about Dominique

“Would you like to play some music? Something slow would be preferable,” I said. She had her phone in her hand like she might need it. I knew it was a precaution, but I was fine with it. I held my hand out, and she took it. I pulled her against me and began to slow dance. It was a beautiful night. There wasn’t a cloud in sight. The moon was full and shining bright, with a million stars twinkling in the sky. “It’s breathtaking,” Dominique said. “Yes, it is,” I replied as I continued to look at her. She looked at me and saw that I was only looking at her. She had blushed so much tonight that I was surprised her face wasn’t permanently red. She laid her head on my chest, and I felt my heart flutter. I pushed my face into her hair at her temple. “You smell good. Almost good enough to eat,” I commented as I sniffed her hair. “Umm...thanks, I think. Don’t turn into the big bad wolf, and we’ll be okay. Although I don’t think the big bad wolf would smell so good. Or have a gorg

“Well, what do you guys think? Think he can join our little house band?” Dominique asked. “He’s good. I say yes,” Melissa replied. “I agree,” Post said. “Well, Nathaniel, it looks like you’re in if you want to be. I’ll warn you, though, we don’t get paid. We just do this for fun. We practice twice a week and play once a week on Fridays for at least an hour.” “I don’t need the money. I told you, I’m doing this because I love to play, and it helps me relax.”

“It couldn’t all be bad. You were engaged, were you not?” “Yeah. I thought he loved me. He was so sweet at first. He always brought me flowers or just texted me to say hello. After about a year, the romance died out some, but we were comfortable with each other. We never lived together, but we always stayed at each other’s houses. We practically lived together. Then after about three years, he started working late all the time, or he would go out drinking. He started breaking plans with me and forgetting I was supposed to be at his house. When he would come home, he would be surprised I was there, and he would also be plastered. I put up with it for a couple of years because I did love him. But that last year, he was vicious with the things he said. He hit me once when I got in his face about the drinking. That was it for me. I started going to his job and found out he wasn’t working. I would wait until he left his house and follow him. That’s when I found out about the woman he sl

Dominique and I began to text each other regularly. It was nice getting to know her, but I did wish to hear her voice on the phone when I wasn’t at the club. I let her have this as she seemed nervous about getting to know me. I went to the bar regularly to play in the band and see her. Sometimes I could even get her to dance with me or play pool. I thought things were going well until her bartender died. That’s when everything blew up on me. I came into the bar and sat down at our usual table. I had smelled Tim before I ever saw him. He was behind the bar. Dominique came over off and on during the night, but she kept looking at the bar. Finally, I asked her to dance. I held her close, but I could definitely feel Tim’s eyes on us. “Dominique, may I ask you a question?” “Sure. You’ve never asked me before if it was okay. Why start now?” Dominique replied. “Is that your ex-fiancé?” “Yep,” Dominique sighed. “Why would he be behind the bar?” “Well, my bartender died, and no

Why couldn’t she see that I didn’t want anyone else? I was trying so hard not to say or do the wrong thing. She kept saying she wasn’t into Tim, but that blush a few minutes ago said something had happened. I walked up to her and said, “I’m not looking for anyone else. I’ll wait as long as it takes for you to come my way.” “Um, okay. Where would you like to go?” Dominique asked. “I would like to take you back to La Nobles. You seem to like it there. Then we can go to a movie. And perhaps after that, we can just go walking so we can talk.”

“I get the feeling this friendship is one-sided. Whenever I ask you about yourself, you basically shut down. How will I ever decide if I want more than friendship from you if you don’t let me in?” Dominique asked. I sighed. “I suppose you’re right. What would you like to know, Dominique?” “How did you meet your wife?” My face shut down, but I did finally answer her. “I met her one day while I was out riding. She was younger than me by a few years. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. We were both very young when we met.” “What drew you to her?” Dominique asked. I smiled. “She was so alive. The woman had a temper, but underneath there was a kindness I had never known from a woman. Most women in my life were not there for me. They were only there for one thing. I will not lie and say I did not take them up on that offer.” “Do you honestly think someone could bring you as much happiness and love as you had with her?” “Yes, I do,” I said as I looked at her knowi

“Yes. I have heard you tell Nathaniel that the voice sounds like a mixture of mine and Alpha’s. That is why. I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, Dom. But you had to have known. The things I have said have been from a man’s point of view. Alpha was Luna’s mate, yes, but he thinks of you as his mate and would talk to you as his mate. I’m talking to you as your husband would. Please don’t feel bad about this, Dom. I feel lucky that I have spent this extra time with you.”I couldn’t help it. I started to cry. I had wondered about the voice but hoped I was wrong. I’d held Tim’s soul in that stone all this time. He hadn’t been at peace but had been trapped in a stone. The kids would never forgive me if they found out the truth. I wasn’t sure if I could forgive myself at this point. I was so selfish.

I walked over to where the driver was placing my bags onto a luggage trolley and took my wallet from my purse. I handed him 20 euros, and he thanked me. I smiled and walked back to the desk. The clerk gave me the room key and my ID. I thanked him and walked over to the elevator. The porter got on with me, and we went to the room. He must have thought it odd that I didn’t give him the bag from my back, but I ignored his strange looks. Once we got to the room, he unloaded the luggage onto the luggage racks, and I tipped him. He smiled and thanked me before exiting the room. I placed the bag on the bed and put my purse on the nightstand. The curtains were wide open, so I walked over to the windows and closed them. The room wasn’t pitch dark, but the sun wasn’t hitting directly on the bed. I walked over and unzipped the bag.

I woke up when the announcement about our landing came on. I was still cuddling Nathaniel in the bag. I sighed and sat up. I walked over to the seats and hooked my seatbelt. Once the plane landed, I grabbed the bag from the couch and was surprised it didn’t feel heavy. I must still have my strength, but it was awkward when I first tried lifting the bag. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the stone. I felt the energy coming off it and knew it would be glowing if I took it out. I didn’t realize how much it hurt Nathaniel that I always had the stone. I thought he understood that it was a part of Tim and that I wasn’t ready to let go of Tim just yet. I suppose being with him in every way that mattered in a relationship made him

“You could have offered to let me be your human servant and then allowed me to live my life with Tim, but you didn’t. Instead, you took what you wanted without a second thought about what I would think or feel about it. That made me angry, and I wanted to hurt you, so I went to Tim. I chose him automatically. If I had been rational about the situation, I would have sat you both down and had a conversation about it all, but I didn’t.” “Then I cut you out completely later on. I had no reason to do that as Tim knew I wasn’t with you and that I was being faithful to him. But I wanted him to be positive about it, and frankly, I wasn’t sure if I could be completely faithful if I continued to have a relationship with you. I always thought about you and had to push those thoughts and feelings away while I was with Tim.&

“Are you excited, Dominique?” I asked. “Very. I can’t wait to get there and meet Barnaby and Victoria. I also can’t wait to see your home and for you to show me places I know I didn’t see when I came to England the last time.” “When you came to England before, did you feel my presence more than usual?” “I felt like you were closer, but I was always trying to ignore the pull I had to find you. I wanted to enjoy being here with Tim.” I could tell something was off with Dominique when she mentioned Tim, but I tried to ignore it. This was our vacation, and I was grateful she took it with me. I had asked her to leave the stone at home, and she had been reluctant to agree, but she eventually said she would. I watched her body language and how she kept her hand in her jacket pocket. Had she actually left it? “Dominique, what are you hiding?” “I don’t know what you mean.” I tapped into her thoughts and she was thinking about miscellaneous things. This made me even more suspicious. Sh

“Any interesting conversations so far? It’s been a few weeks,” Ewan said. Carson looked at Ewan and responded, “The vampire had a conversation with someone named Nathaniel about coming to England. I think it’s the other vampire we have been looking for. It would explain why we could never find him no matter where we looked. He hasn’t even been here. He did mention that he couldn’t wait to see him and Dominique.” “Did you say Nathaniel?” Ewan asked rather excitedly. “Yes, sir. Is there some significance to that name?”

Dominique began to sway her body against mine. I mimicked her movements and began to take my shirt off. I slowly unbuttoned my shirt as I rolled my hips. Her hands slid down my chest and pulled it free from my pants. I grinned and showed her my fangs as she slid the shirt off my shoulders. I winked at her and gently pushed her back onto the bed.I slowly reached for the fastening on my slacks and unhooked it. I knew by her scent that she was getting turned on. However, I refused to let her touch me. I slowly moved away from the bed while unzipping my slacks. I rolled my slacks down over my hips while revealing tight black briefs.Glancing up at Dominique, I noticed her looking down at the bulge in my briefs. She slowly looked at me, licking her lips. I can see the pulse point at the base of her neck fluttering, and

“I’m sure they will, Dominique. I just wonder sometimes if you will be happy with me after a hundred years together. I know it won’t be easy since you are still not used to sleeping with me. I hope to overcome that obstacle one day and get you into a sleep pattern that allows us to be together.”“Sometimes, we will need to be apart so we don’t get sick of each other. I can always go out alone and spend some time with myself. Then we won’t get tired of being together or run out of things to say.”“You will come to realize that we don’t need to say anything for me to be happy to be with you. Our bond makes us want to be around each other all the time. You will feel the distance and the urge to return to me when you are away from me. I do not expect you to do this, but I want you to know.”

“Dominique, I want to review the plan again to ensure we have it down.” “Okay, Nathaniel. It’s pretty straightforward, though, so I don’t think we need to.” “I just want to make sure you are okay with the plan. There can’t be any mistakes, and I need to know that you can handle my weight.” “Right before you pass out for the day, you will slip into a duffle bag that is big enough to curl up in. Then when we arrive in England, I will take the bag with me as my luggage. There will be a car waiting for us, and I will give them the instructions on how to get to your house. Once we are there, I will place you in the bedroom where you can wake up refreshed. But won’t they check our luggage?” “No. All luggage is checked before you leave. They will just think you grabbed your luggage. I worry that you can not carry me. You no longer have the strength of your wolf.” “I’m still stronger than the average human thanks to being your servant.” “It must look like you have a regular bag, not on
