The Nightlife: San Antonio

by Travis Luedke

  Eventually, she decided her neighbors had enough titty show, and retreated into her apartment. “Asshole. April will be here in a couple hours, so leave me alone.” She left the door strategically cracked open.

  Adrian finished off the first bottle and luxuriated in the wine buzz. Finally, his headache had subsided to a dull thrum, drowned in alcohol. But his need for Samantha remained strong, ever present. She was his compass, his true north, and no matter what direction he turned, the line to her was always clear.

  *.*.*.*

  A crashing sound woke Adrian from his wine-induced sleep on the back patio. He thought maybe Candice and April were arguing again. The girls liked to break stuff when they went at it, only to buy a replacement at the mall the next week. It had become a ritual for them.

  Bang, bang, bang. “Adrian Faulkner, open the door! This is Federal Agent Roberts. I have a warrant to search the premise! If you don’t open the door, we will enter by force.”

  “Shit!” Adrian hopped up from his chair, sent his wine bottle rolling across the patio and looked about in panic. They must have decided they had enough evidence to charge him with something. He looked left, to Crenshaw’s patio, a dead end, then to the right. Candice’s slider was still cracked open.

  He was over the partition and through Candice’s sliding glass door in seconds. He shut it quietly, locked it, and closed the blinds. A noise from the bed drew his attention. Someone was waking up. Shit. He slinked deeper into the bedroom, towards the bathroom door. The slam of someone kicking open the front door to his apartment reverberated through the walls.

  The feds didn’t mess around.

  He stood by the bathroom door, wishing that somehow God could reach down and put these women to sleep until the raid was over. The bed stirred again, and someone slipped out from under the covers. “Who’s there?”

  He held his tongue, debating whether or not to punch her out, or take his chances trying to quiet her some other way.

  “Adrian, is that you?” Candice walked up to him in nothing but her fishing line thin panties, not even bothering to cover herself. She looked back at the bed, at her sleeping girlfriend, and then looked at him, and her eyes flicked towards the door to the living room. Her thought process was as transparent as her non-existent underwear. “Okay, just this once, as long as we’re quiet.”

  She took his hand, her half-lidded eyes evidence she hadn’t fully woken up, and started pulling him towards the living room. He didn’t budge. She frowned and whispered, “Not in here, we’ll wake up April.”

  Adrian shook his head and clamped his hand over her mouth as flashlights raked across the patio and the blinds. They were checking the vicinity for him, and it didn’t take any imagination to figure they might start knocking on doors. Candice stood there, a puzzled look on her face, Adrian’s hand over her mouth, silently watching police scour her porch with torchlights. He mouthed the word quiet and held a finger to his lips, praying that somehow this idiot woman would be smart enough to shut up.

  Miracles do happen, even today. Candice didn’t move, didn’t say a word. She stood there like a good little whore and waited with Adrian holding his hand over her mouth. Not one complaint, not one question. He could’ve taken her into the living room and screwed her senseless out of sheer gratitude.

  The agents grunted and murmured to each other, and after a few more minutes they left out the same front door they had busted through. The damn locks were probably ruined. He waited, holding onto Candice, who had decided to lean into him for a hug. For the first time ever in his life, he had a naked woman hugging him, ready for a good hard fuck, and he was not going to give it to her.

  Adrian waited a few more minutes, and when Candice’s hands started to roam, he knew it was time to go. He extracted himself from her clutches and pecked her on the forehead. “Thanks, but I can’t. I need to get out of here before they come back.”

  He clicked the lock on the sliding glass door and pulled it open with Candice right behind him. “Adrian, wait. What’s wrong? Why were the police here? Do you need help?”

  He looked at her, wondering how much help her naked, willing body could provide in his situation. None. She had nothing he needed or wanted.

  A thud sounded on his porch and he tensed for action as his head whipped around to face the intruder.

  “Adrian, what the fuck are you doing?”

  Samantha. Lovely, psychotic, man-slaughtering Samantha. She looked just as beautiful as ever in that paper-thin hospital gown. In a flash she was on him, his t-shirt fisted in her hands, damn near lifting him off his feet with the strength of her fury. “You better start talking.”

  He looked to the naked woman at his side who had begun to register some alarm at the situation. Candice spoke right over the top of Adrian, stealing the words from his mouth. “It’s not what you think.”

  “Oh, hell no.” Sam snapped out to connect with Candice in a meaty sounding punch. Candice flew back into her apartment and landed flat on her back, TKO.

  “Damn.” He smiled in appreciation of Sam’s moves. His vampire mafia queen looked at him like a feral creature preparing to slice his face off. He held his hands up in surrender “I was hiding! The feds just raided me – serious.”

  “Candice, what are you doing?” April stood in front of her girlfriend, holding her breasts, wearing nothing but a pair of white cotton panties that were half-way off her ass. Her eyes had squinted up, trying to focus, confused and still half-asleep.

  Adrian slammed the slider door to Candice’s apartment and turned back to Sam. “How the hell did you get here? Never mind that, just bite me, now!” He bared his neck and grabbed the back of her head, pulling her face against him tightly.

  She chomped hard and he knew she wanted him to feel her wrath by force of her bite. He didn’t care. He almost collapsed on her, his knees gone weak in the wondrous joy of her venom. She held him up, hugging him tight as she sucked long and hard, both getting exactly what they needed.

  The sliding glass door opened back up and April punched Adrian in the arm. “Adrian, what did you do to Candice?”

  Sam let go of her bite, slurped at the wound once over to clean it, and lashed out to knock April sprawling atop her girlfriend. Double TKO. Samantha turned on him with fire in her eyes, fangs bared, and a closed fist in his face. “You’re mine. Don’t you ever forget it. Stay the hell away from these hoes!”

  He slipped his hands up inside her hospital gown, caught a handful off butt cheek and squeezed, pulling her up against the erection trying to fight its way out of his jeans. She growled at his roughness, a spark of desire flaring in her eyes.

  He kissed her soundly, not even caring that he could taste his own blood on her lips. He loved her wiry strength, capable of cutting through a man in one slice. He loved the crush of her cool lips beneath his assault of kisses, even though her teeth could tear a man to ribbons. He loved the fire in her soul, and the violence ever lurking beneath the surface of her beauty. He loved this vampire mafia queen, even when she was threatening him.

  “You got it all backwards, Samantha. You’re mine, and I’m gonna tap that virgin ass from here to eternity.” His hands, working with a mind of their own, freed his cock from his jeans. He lifted her atop the partition by her ass, pulled her gown up, and used his hips to spread her legs apart.

  Her look of ferocious lust and jealous fury evaporated as he breached her virginity in one solid thrust. The sexiest, most dangerous woman alive shuddered and clung to him as he buried himself in the heavenly squeeze of her tight, hot womb.

  He bit her ear and curled his fist in her hair. He yanked her head back hard, holding her eyes in place to ensure she looked at him and only him as he growled, “I choose you, Samantha. You are mine and only mine. As long as I live, I’ll never let you forget it.”
