2021-09-01 08:52:27Jasper Malcolm Holmes became a vampire at the ripe age of thirty-four in the year eighteen-twenty-two. Unlike Mae, it took him almost a century to make peace with his fate. That was why he wanted to talk to me in private. Although he was fine with being a vampire, he completely understood the panic and regret that accompanied ninety-percent of the newly turned.
“I knew Evan Ottenburg,” he said as he refilled our wine glasses while we dined on the promised vegetarian lasagna. He quickly scooped up a forkful and chewed it down. “This combination of eggplant and zucchini is wonderful.”
“It’s Vicki’s recipe, but I made it,” Megan offered.
He smiled, broadly, as he washed his bite down with pinot noir. “Then, my complements to you both.”
“You said that you wanted to speak with me?” I impatiently said.
“Please excuse my friend,” Megan apologized. “

“Oh, hell, no,” Megan blurted. “You can’t possibly be choosing the pain he just described over a few rounds of sex in the bedroom.”“That’s exactly what I’m choosing,” I said as I busied myself cleaning up after our dinner. “It’s late. Why don’t you go to bed? I’ll take care of cleaning up.”“Why?” she demanded as she stood in front of me with her hands on her hips while blocking my way.“You know why,” I said, firmly.“You’ll have to tell me,” she grumbled. “I’m not a psychic.”I set the dishes that I’d piled into my hands back down on the table. “It’s easy to see that you like him, Megan. I feel bad enough about Evan and I truly loved him. I won’t sleep with a man that you like. I won’t do that again. I especially won’t do it to you when I

Jasper arrived at seven the following evening. I’d fretted over having sex with him over the course of the day to such an extent that Megan finally could take no more. So, after helping me bathe and prepare myself as if it was my wedding night, she slipped a sedative into my chamomile tea and left me languidly lying, naked, between the sheets.I heard her confessing her actions to Jasper on the opposite side of the closed door of my bedroom. He didn’t sound pleased as he entered the room.Megan came over to the bed and pulled the covers from my body to expose me.“Are you going to make me say the same thing to you that I have to pound into her head on a regular basis?” she impatiently asked. “This is a body. It is not the real her. Grant it, having sex with this body is bound to give you pleasure, but it’s still just a body and it’s still just sex.”In my foggy state, I co

“Are you alright?” Megan whispered as she crept through the darkness of my room to my bed.“No jokes, please,” I murmured with my face still planted firmly into the folds of my pillow.She sat on the edge of the bed and lightly massaged my back. “Did he mistreat you?”“I can’t explain it,” I said as I rolled over. Then, with a disgusted look, I added, “The bedding is a disgrace. I wouldn’t sit on it if I were you.”She quickly stood and grabbed my hand. “Get up and I’ll strip it while you clean yourself.”I crawled off the bed with much less zeal than Jasper had displayed just minutes earlier. I couldn’t explain how I felt. I had a myriad of mixed emotions battling inside of me. None was victorious enough to claim king of the pile so that I could identify it and express it.I was surprised when my legs collapsed benea

Two weeks had passed since Jasper and I began having nightly sex. I guessed that there was enough virus inside of me from him to override what had been placed by Evan or my wedding night rapist, but I said nothing. I’d begun to enjoy and look forward to our little arrangement. Not only was the sex fantastic, but, little by little, Jasper was behaving more like a lover and less like a service provider. He even fell asleep twice until the wee hours of the morning. I found that the attention I received from him – both physically and emotionally – was just enough to keep me satisfied as far as male companionship went. We’d also developed the habit of having a conversation before the sex began. So, the more time we spent together, the more I grew to know and like him. I could easily continue our arrangement, indefinitely.I knew that the preventative would be arriving at any moment from his mystery researcher. Once

The first thing that came to mind as Amy waved the smelling salts beneath my nose was that the very creatures that I professed to despise and wanted nothing to do with were now holding me a prisoner.I aggressively pushed her hand away from my face as I sat up and snarled. She may have been a vampire, but I wasn’t afraid of her. Not like I was of the fiery eyed beast who’d just commanded that I become their prisoner. She felt too familiar to me. Partly because Megan professed her to be a good friend with a kind heart and partly because she’d been my family physician since before Joseph was born.“I can’t believe you’d do this,” I said as I glowered at her. “How could you do this to Joseph? He’ll be looking for me soon for a feeding and you know it. Megan has nothing but praise for you. Does she know this side of you, I wonder?”She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. &l

I was still angry with her, so I didn’t share my discovery with Amy when she surprised me by entering my lab with a large duffle bag slung over her shoulder during her next trip for milk. “Megan thought it might help you feel better if you had a few of your toiletries. She also sent over some of Evan’s research journals and his laptop. She said that he played a major role in helping you when you were researching werewolfism and thought that maybe there’d be something in there to use or that might springboard your mind in the right direction.”“Are you and Megan still best of buddies? How does she feel about you taking her god son’s mother from him?” I sarcastically snarled as I accepted the bag and then went into the tiny half-bath to pump my breasts.Although it was a thoughtful gesture on Megan’s part, there was no shower or bath available to me. I’d been reduced to standing at the si

Amy’s bright smile left her face almost immediately when she entered the lab. “What’s the matter?”I opened my mouth to display my altered teeth. “It’s too late. I’ve turned.”“Too late for what?” she asked. “You knew that this was going to happen.”“I was researching for a cure,” I lied; although it wasn’t really a lie, since it was common knowledge that I’d been actively trying to find the cure. I just didn’t mention that someone else had found a preventative and now it was too late for me to take it.“You feel that you might have found it if you hadn’t been forced to do this research, don’t you?” she asked, sympathetically. When I nodded, she sighed and said, “That’s possible. Then, again, you could still be struggling for the cure. As it is, you’ve found a cure for a debilitating

One of the perks of being a vampire was the increase in things like speed and strength. I appreciated it as I rushed from my car into the house in search of my son. I was so engrossed in getting to him that I’d forgotten that I’d become a vampire until I saw the look of fright on Cynthia’s face as she ceased descending the stairs with my son in her arms when I flew into the foyer of the house.I stopped short in front of the hall mirror to inspect myself. I looked the same. I could only assume that it was my speed of movement that clued her in to the fact that there was something different about me. I cursed myself for my thoughtlessness. I would have preferred to have time to be around her for a while so that she could see that she wasn’t in danger from me before I confided in her that I’d turned into a vampire. Now, I had no choice but to admit to it and hope for the best.“So, you made the change while you

We parted company with Edmund with the promise that we would report to him after the required mourning period ended. When we returned to the cabin, we found Jasper’s lifeless body just as I’d left it.Thomas took us to their family cemetery and we buried Jasper next to his sister. Then, he and Peter escorted Megan and me back to my house.I needed time to mourn over my losses. I didn’t need to express this to Peter. He instinctively knew and was very good about giving it to me.He spent his time nurturing Megan back to health; both physically and emotionally. As I’d suspected, once the ordeal was over and she was placed in a position of facing and dealing with what had happened, she suffered a severe case of emotional trauma. As a result, she withdrew into herself.Thomas visited often. He’d been close with Jasper and my marriage to Jasper made him my cousin by law and he took that connecti

It was when the fourth rapist had crawled off of me when I suspected that I was miscarrying. The pain in my abdomen was far too severe to be caused by their abusive ramming into my womanhood. It was confirmed when he complained about the bloody substance that coated his manhood.It didn’t take long for me to understand why Megan made that comment about them killing her. Like her, if I ever got free, I’d show them no mercy. None.I could hear Megan’s mental tears at the realization that I was losing a baby. It was something she hadn’t considered might happen when she encouraged me to endure and submit. Then, even that was a moot suggestion. I was paralyzed. How could I do anything else?They took a break from their abuse to clean me out. An argument ensued amongst them. Eliza was adamant that they continue to rape me while Raul had a sudden pang of guilt and compassion at the realization that they’d been

It was still dark when I heard the sound of battle outside of our bedroom. I was surprised to see Jasper sleeping through it. It was loud enough to wake the dead. I vigorously shook him while calling his name, but he made no move toward waking. He felt cool, but he was sleeping without covers over his torso and the body temperature of a vampire was low to begin with. His muscles felt limp and lifeless. Was he even breathing? I placed my ear to his chest, but I was suddenly distracted by a horrific thud against my bedroom door.I worried about his seemingly lifeless condition in the back of my mind as I hopped out of bed and threw on a robe that I found hanging in the closet. It was several sizes too big for me, but it was the quickest thing I could find to cover my nakedness so that I could open the door to see what was happening.Megan’s body lay limp and inert on the floor just outside of my room. I gasped with shock and dismay as I knel

The following morning, I was awoken by a knock on the door. Megan had stayed the night in my room with me, so she hurried to respond. Peter gave her a friendly smile as he slipped through the opening she created when she pulled the thick oak door open enough to allow him entrance.“In all the raucous, I don’t know if I mentioned how good it is to see you, Megan,” he said as he walked to the bed and set a bed tray containing a blood bag, some fresh fruit, crackers, and coffee onto the bottom of the bed. “I guessed that you’d be in here with her, so I brought enough for two.”“I’ll pass on the blood,” she said with a smirk, “but I’m happy for the coffee.”“The pink mug is yours,” he grinned. “Light with two sugars, right?”Her eyes sparkled with pleasure. “You’ve got a good memory, doc.”“Only for those peopl

I waited until the house was silent before I crept out of my room. I felt ill and needed air. Maybe Jasper was right, and I was feeling the aftereffects of not giving my body the blood it needed to stay healthy.I had on my sweater, but since I was used to much warmer weather, I wrapped an autumn themed afghan around me as well before I stepped out onto the porch that ran the full length of the back of the cabin.I was leaning against the log siding with my eyes closed when Peter’s voice came through the night. “I thought you didn’t love me anymore.”“I know,” I sniffed. “I still need to come to terms with what Evan did. I’ve been avoiding dealing with it. It hurts too much.”“Do you still love me?” he asked as he leaned on the wall next to me and looked out into the night. He was so close that our shoulders touched, but he made no move to do more.“I al

I insisted on going alone to the private airport to pick up Megan and my son. Jasper wasn’t happy about it, but, since he was technically the host, his Southern, aristocratic upbringing required that he stay with his guests. I assured him that I’d return in no time, grabbed the keys, and headed out the door. I was so muddled by the events of the night that I had to swallow my pride and turn back inside to put on a pair of shoes.Peter came out of the bedroom at that time with Eliza hot on his heels. Even if we hadn’t heard her moans and cries of erotic delight, just the sight of her would clue anyone in on what had just occurred. I could smell the sex on them as they passed by me to join Jasper and Thomas at the bar and was mortified to realize that was also the scent that greeted them upon their arrival. Placing Eliza in front of him, Peter seized the opportunity to graze the back of my neck with his fingertips as he walked by while I focu

As our passion rose, we lost track of time. As luck would have it, Jasper was in the middle of his release when we heard a loud knock at the door. I felt sorry for him as he tried to hurry his orgasm along so that we could separate and scramble for our clothes.As it was, he had to quickly put on his pants while I scooped my clothes up into my arms and hustled my naked body to the master bedroom so that I could clean up and make myself presentable as fast as I was able.“You said we had time,” I hissed as I headed up the stairs.“I said if we hurried,” he grinned. “Sadly, my dear, there’s no hurrying past your lusciousness.”I rolled my eyes as I scooted behind closed doors and scurried about to get ready.My vampire hearing allowed me to pick up several voices. They were spouting off few jokes about the sweet scent of sex permeating the cabin. They laughed and teased about honeymooners un

Being a bit superstitious myself, I insisted that we not go somewhere that I’d gone with Max or Evan. We looked at the list of states that had no waiting period for marriage. Jasper suggested Vermont. I think I would have preferred a warmer climate, but, although cool, the weather was still fine. So, while I called Megan to explain what we were up to, Jasper hired a private plane to take us there.Megan didn’t express the excitement that I’d expected from her, but then, she’d been a bit subdued since I’d returned from imprisonment. I tried on several occasions to have a private conversation with her about it, but, somehow, we were always interrupted; either by Cynthia or Jasper. I made myself a promise that I’d insist we talk when Jasper and I returned.I was no longer nursing, so I didn’t have to worry about getting home to feed Joseph. Even so, I wasn’t comfortable being away from him for too lon

Jasper had made himself my self-appointed protector. Because of this, he was at my house so much that it was hard to tell if he was a resident or not. As a result, we spent a good deal of time getting to know each other. Besides the fact that his centuries of life had been full of adventure and interesting experiences that I loved to listen to him tell stories about, I found that we had a tremendous amount of likes and dislikes in common.He discovered my affinity for fine food and five-star restaurants and went out of his way to take me to one each week. It was during one of these nights out that I was accosted by a vampire, who the restaurant’s bartender called Joe, while making my way to the ladies room. Being a much older vampire with a burly body, his strength superseded mine. By the time Jasper realized what was happening, I was well on my way to being raped in the alley behind the building.I’d seen enraged vampires figh
