Lucianus I wanted to stay here forever, but all too soon, my wife’s figure faded. The warmth of the red and gold light faded, leaving me in the darkness for far too long. I left the room. And drifted through the castle hallways. I had been gone for hours, it seemed. I tried not to think of the woman any longer. Every time I drifted down the hall, I saw her wandering aimlessly, looking for a way to escape. I could smell her. Every time I turned down the hallway, I swore that I saw her skirt whip around the hallway. I materialized into a hallway and tried to get a grip on myself. The days were starting to blend together. Time was starting to become meaningless again. I felt the edges of that familiar, almost comforting madness start to creep into my mind. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to sink back into that misery again. That hopeless darkness where my only peace came from my memories.It was better than fighting for the hope that was impossible. What was I supposed to do? Turn her? I
Lucianus I turned into the wind, drifting through the trees towards the source of the fire as smoke billowed up. It looked to be a farm of some sort. There was a large building burning down in the center. I recognized the scent of burning vampire blood and knew that the escaped vampires had been killed there. If not most, then all of them from the thickness of the scent. At least I didn’t have to worry about hunting those fools down.Yet standing in the middle of the still-burning ruins was a tall white cross, gleaming in the moonlight. As I approached, I realized that the cross was made of silver. The scent of holy water drifted around the cross, and I laughed. Holy water. It seems that the pope’s church, the Vatican Order, had recruited more soldiers. They thought that we were easily defeated. I slammed my hand into the cross, ignoring the brief burn of the silver on my skin, and watched it shatter and crumble. I took to the air and turned. The scent of blood caught my nose.I dr
TrinityThe sound of glass falling to the ground and shouting made him go stiff and his hand stopped just above the waistband of my jeans. My stomach roiled and I shoved my elbow hard back into him. He grunted, stumbled and I darted forward, twisting out of his grip. I tried to run to Sindia or someone else, but in my panic, I just couldn’t seem to steer my body. The lights whirled around me. I felt sick. My legs were barely staying under me as I ran. My heart pounded at my chest. The world flickered with darkness that seemed to stretch up into the sky only allowing the faintest and briefest glimpse of red light to shine over me. Where was I going? The vision faded and swarmed. I heard laughter that seemed to echo forever. Something was chasing me, I knew it. My mind whirled and I was barely keeping the scream that was building behind my teeth inside. I needed out. I needed to get far away from here before I lost it. I could almost hear the blood rushing in my ears as my vision co
Lucianus I couldn’t believe what she was saying. I was shocked, but I caught sight of that bothersome, lustful idiot who had been chasing her out of the corner of my eye. I could smell his stench lingering on her. The pleading in her eyes was sincere and the fear wasn’t all directed at me. That man had assaulted her in some way. My blood boiled. I wanted to kill him. Hadn’t he realized that he had gotten off lightly when I had not broken his face and caved in his chest in the bar? Did he really think he had the right to touch what I had already claimed as mine?Yet his eyes were focused on us, drifting over her body with a familiar and disgusting leer. He seemed to be just waiting for me to step away before pouncing. Did he know her personally or was he just another crude human searching for prey. I’d kill him as soon as I could. I’d make sure he understood that in this world, he was prey: weak and defenseless, before I sent him to his death. It gave me a deep sense of satisfaction
Trinity His eyes were hungry. I could feel how much he wanted me just by staring into his eyes, but there was nothing else on his face that told me anything about how he was feeling. His expression was cold. The way he loomed over me felt like he was going to possess me like he already did. I felt hot like I didn’t want to escape and couldn’t even if I wanted to. The tingling sensation from earlier had begun to spread and pool between my legs in an almost painful desire. He looked at me like a lamb to be slaughtered, and he was a ravenous wolf. It made my stomach flip with excitement and fear. It had been so long since I’d had sex. It hadn’t always been great, but when it was, it was the best. I hadn’t realized how much I had missed it. I hadn’t realized how much I had been thinking about it lately, either. Maybe it was some weird reaction to the dean’s attack. Maybe it was just the alcohol I had managed to drink, but as I stared up at him, I realized that I might want to sleep wit
TrinityWhen I entered the room, the man from the bar was seated in the room. My face heated as I eyed the breadth of his shoulders and thought about the dream. He was definitely bigger than me. I could bet that he was about as large as the man in my dream. Maybe the dream had been so vague because I hadn’t slept with anyone so large before. I pulled away from that thought and kept my gaze from dropping to his lap. He was wearing a different suit, and I was definitely sure that there was something different about his eyes now that we were in the light. They were strangely warm hazel with flecks of red gold or something. They were beautiful but strange and otherworldly. “This… isn’t what I really meant by calling me if you were in the city,” I said. “How did you find me?”He titled his head. “I wanted to see a psychiatrist. They said you were available, so here I am.”“I’m not… a psychiatrist.”He shrugged. “Every master started as a student, and the clerks in front did not seem to
Lucianus I left her breathless and sated that night, but I was anything but. No matter how deep I buried my cock in her body and made her cry out in pleasure, it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t stand it anymore. Just the taste of her pleasure, even without the blood slave mark, had been enough to make me want more. It was like the forbidden fruit of immortality that could drive someone to madness. My wife was dead, yet I could have her in some small through this woman. Perhaps I should have stayed the course and refused this course of action. It would have been for the best, but it was too late now. I could not kill her; thus, I would have her in every way that I could not have my wife. I would simply have to accept that her death would do nothing but further irritate me in the end. I figured out that Salt Lake City was several hours by human transportation away from the place where we met again, but there was a portal in my world that would take me there in a little under a few moment
Trinity After the man left, I didn’t know what to say, but I was also very curious. What did he mean by all that? More than that, why did I get the sense that there was more to his story than just him mourning the loss of his wife?I felt compelled to see him again, to figure him out, but I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea. Whatever his real problems were, they were way beyond my training at this point. I looked down at the notes and frowned, realizing that his name wasn’t on the page. Something tingled at the back of my mind as if I knew what should be there but couldn’t quite say what it was. Days passed, and it seemed that the police came by to speak to me nearly every day. There were different officers every day, but they all asked most of the same questions. “No, I hadn’t seen him since the trip where he tried to assault me in the bar.” I swallowed, looking at the officers. “No, I don’t know if the bar had surveillance you can check, but there were other people there from
