The woman was completely sinless. He let a smile pull at the corners of his lips. There was nothing more than he wanted to do at that moment, but to teach her some sins. He stared at her for a moment longer, then slowly grinned, “Accept what I say to you Elsa, I never give compliments lightly.”She flushed even more than she thought possible. Yet, with every will of her being she didn't want him to leave despite her embarrassment. She didn't even know his name, or who he was, but she was fascinated by his presences that she completely forgot to ask him. She felt so undeserving of his attention because she thought he was too perfect, yet over and over, she kept seeing him and now, here he was with her. Is this a dream? Could he be real? Without thinking she reached up and touched his cheek to see if he was genuine. She traced her fingers along his strong jaw and saw the muscle bulge as he clenched his teeth at her stroke. Instantly, she felt ashamed. She had no right to just touch
When Elsa reached for a glass of water off of the side table he reached for it first, trying to do his best to please her Tanya glanced at Linda and felt a twinge of sympathy for her. After numerous attempts to get Ted to notice her, even rudely interrupting the conversation a few times, she gave up and slumped in a nearby chair sulking. Doctor Evens came in at that moment to „check on the progress of the swelling. He removed the ice packs and noticed that the swelling was almost gone, along with all the bruising. He asked her to wiggle her toes and she did without any pain or discomfort. Tanya swore she heard him mumble something about Doctors being put out of business. He ordered more x-rays and asked that Elsa was left alone so she could rest. Tanya and the others agreed. They all said their goodbyes. Ted's seemed to take the longest as he didn't want to leave.Elsa had more x-rays done and they came back good. There wasn't any sign of the three fractures, just calcification aro
No one knew exactly how old Valear was, but he was in true mythical form. He always wore his trademark full length black robes. It reminded Lucas of the frocks the priests would wear in the sixteenth century. It takes many centuries, maybe even eons to transform into such a horrific state of the walking dead. Most horrid were Valear's eyes that had long ago changed into solid crimson grotesque orbs that in contrast, jumped out from his boney face. Lucas was over seven hundred years old and still regained his mortal appearance if he were still twenty-four. There were others he knew of that were much older than he, and still did not display such features. In fact, according to them there were very few differences between them in appearance as when they were mortal. Valear's flesh was so thin and pale, it was almost transparent. His veins were visible under the pasty flesh. His face was long and thin, framed by ghostly white hair in deep contrast of his blood red lips. He was a true the
“You wish to know why this unsettles me. Very well.” Valear paused, never taking his hellish eyes off of Lucas' face. “The girl can create a weakness in you Lucas. She threatens your power. If you wish to take her as a bride…” Lucas' silence was an affirmation, “…She would make a deadly enemy. Some things you don't know Lucas. A Vampiress can be a worse enemy than a vampire because they have an unusual seductive power. That is why love is not a common emotion among us undead. It could consume us. She has the potential manipulate you with such power and turn you against me. As a mere mortal she wields a hold on you the likes I have never felt. Can you imagine that power a hundred fold as one of us? That is my concern.” He stared intently at Lucas, who listened keenly and respectfully, “I have a decision to make tonight, Lucas and my weakness…” he paused for a moment, his expression emotionless, “…is you.”Lucas was taken aback by Valear's admission. To even admit a weakness was almost
Valear smiled. It was almost genuine in his ghoulish way. “That is not the problem Lucas, I do trust you. That may just be my undoing.”Lucas‟ fear dissolved, “You will not take her life?”“No.” Valear turned back to Elsa, just to look at her again. “ I do not fear the hold she has over you anymore. Her soul is pure, she could never betray you. However, I fear the weakness this could cause you. Others will know soon. They might find this an opportunity to destroy you.”“I had Celeste at one point as mine. You didn't show much interest then. Why now?”Valear scoffed as his face took on a look of disgust, “Celeste was a whim. She was no threat. Her beauty dulls each time she opens her mouth and her simple desires, dreary intelligence, and selfish cravings never had the power as this one has within her.” His expression softened, and Lucas could sense an air ofintrigue in his voice when he spoke of Elsa. Then he watched him close his eyes.“Can…you…not feel that powerful draw that sh
Jason gave her a devastating smile, “Of course, your friends are more than welcome to accompany you.”Linda was ecstatic, and without hesitating spoke, “Count me in.” She did not forget how stunning that man Lucas was. Tanya stood behind Linda. She turned her head away, no longer able to hold his gaze. She felt the burning feeling on the side of her face knowing he was still looking at her. She was still struggling to recall where she'd seen him before and how she felt about him indicated to her that it wasn't a very pleasant experience. Maybe it was one of those parties Linda dragged her to and drank too much. She looked at him despite her fear, “I don't want to go.” To her surprise, he smiled again. It was a rakish smile that made her hold her breath. He was gorgeous, there was no denying that. But again, she couldn't shake that feeling of fear. Then she felt a warmth in the pit of her stomach. Fear of not, he also began to excite her. Jason knew he affected her. His sensitive e
She gave Linda a reassuring smile, “No one knows you like we do Linda. No matter what it seems to an outsider you consider us more than you show it.”Linda knew she didn't deserve a friend such as Elsa. She always put her down and insulted her. Truthfully she was insanely jealous of Elsa's sweet innocence, and compassion. Even now, Elsa forgave her for her ignorance. It was no wonder why men such as Lucas and Ted fell for her. “It's understandable why he would want to get to know you. You're smart and very sweet. You always put your friends before yourself. And really, you are quite hot, when you're made upright.” She winked at Tanya who smiled sincerely back at her. “So, what do you say we knock his socks off?”Elsa laughed nervously. “I don't know if I want you to come near me again!”Tanya spun her around, and gave her an encouraging smile “Then let me finish what I've started.” Regardless of her feelings for Lucas, she listened to Elsa's insecurities. Linda was right, Elsa nee
He laughed, his hand reached out and stroked her cheek. Her eyes closed against the tender caress. “Easy, like the way you react to my touch. That just can't be bought. No amount of money could pay for such genuine affection.”Her eyes opened and her skin flushed. Embarrassed, she pulled her hands away from him.“A man's money has nothing to do with how you feel about him.”“There's no way you could know this in the short time we've known each other.”“As I said, I'm a good judge of character.” His arm boldly circled her waist and he pulled her against him, “It's not a fling I'm after Elsa,” he said deeply, looking down at her, “I'm a selfish man. I want much more than that.” “What the hell are they doing out there?” Peered through the tinted windows, and saw the couple in an embrace. “Look at him! He's all over her!”Linda glanced out the window squinting in the darkness, she giggled, “Who's all over who?” Lucas stepped up to Elsa and pulled her into his strong embrace. Linda's sm
