She felt as though she needed to close her eyes and thank God, but then again she was very nervous and chose to postpone the thanksgiving prayer. As a matter of fact, it seemed as though she had to wait a little longer so as to find out whether mike was just some bastard millionaire who was a bad boy and needless to say, looking forward to using her just like it was the case with so many wealthy men nowadays.
But if there is anything that she really trusted, it was her instinct. And at the moment, her instinct was telling her to trust him. And that was what she did.
The conversation was great and Joyce found out that mike wasn’t just a handsome man with incredible muscle but also a gentle and very funny man with an incredible capacity to listen. And the more they continued to talk, the more characteristics she discovered about him that made her to fall in love even more and when the bottle of expensive wine was brought at the table, it seemed as though everything was going to work out even much better than the first time.
The more they drunk, the more comfortable they became with each other and it was at that point that something came over Joyce. At first, she thought that the loneliness had something to do with how she was getting aroused. But afterwards, she realized that she was just turned on with the way that he was handling her.
For a very long time, she had never had the fortune of getting a man who treated that well to the point that she would just melt with a simple touch. Eventually, things seemed to be a little bit sorted out, and Joyce felt very comfortable around him. And as a way to show him that she was grateful, she made a point of leaning forward and planting a kiss on his lips.
It was an incredibly amazing moment for both of them. And it was at that moment that they started touching and they could feel as if their body temperature was starting to get to boiling point, they started getting out of their clothes, looking forward to one erotic and very steamy night together.
-The confession-
The good news about having to rent out the entire five-star hotel was that you can get to do all you want to right there and nobody will come asking any questions at all. And so without further ado, they got out of their clothes and it was at that moment that they embarked on some serious kissing and touching. They were in a position to give each other all the pleasure in the world before he even made a point of penetrating her.
And that was also another thing that she loved about him for sure. First and foremost, it seemed as though all that she could do was make a point of lying there and letting him do all the heavy lifting as well as all of the work.
And mike made sure that he was taking his sweet time to ensure that everything was going on as incredibly as usual. He begun by kissing her on the lips while caressing her as slowly as possible, making sure that he wasn’t leaving any part of her body not taken care of. And as soon as he was done with that, the next thing that he did was shifting to other sides of her body, still giving her all of the pleasure that she needed to moan and fantasying about what was going to come next.
But eventually, it seemed as though everything was going too darn well and Joyce started moaning a little bit, while scratching his back gently enough to feel the tickle but not hard enough to hurt him. But either way, it didn’t seem as though he cared about the scratching since mike had one mission only – to ensure that he had given the woman lying under him all the pleasure in the world.
He was a former soldier before he was turned into a vampire and so he was very good at sticking to particular missions. And now, the only mission that he seemed to care about was giving Joyce the best sex in her entire life.
For a moment, mike could feel as though the area in between his legs was getting wet and before he figured out what was going on, Joyce had already slipped it in and then closed her legs shut, making sure that he was reverberating in the warmth and that was when the pleasuring begun.
And just like Joyce had fantasied, mike was good in bed. As a matter of fact, he did her so perfectly that they got to a point where he just couldn’t cope any longer. It was just too darn sweet for life itself and it lasted for about half an hour – a period after which Joyce had about five orgasm.
Of course that was impossible. And mike knew that she was going to ask him lots of questions about how he lasted that long before he went off. And so as soon as they were done and were relaxing, he started looking for the best ways in which he was going to break the news to her without scaring the wits out of her.
***
As the two lovebirds lay in the amazing antique bed, mike couldn’t help but stay awake and watch her sleep. The lovemaking was incredible and needless to say, it made him think about settling down with this gorgeous woman who was laying in his bed without a doubt. But the problem still remained to be the same – she was human and he was a vampire.
He had told her all about his days in the army, which was true to some extent since he was an arms dealer who also took part in the war as an engineer. The only thing that was wrong was the timing. The plain truth was that he was in the army about five hundred years ago before he got attacked by some supernatural who instead of killing him, made sure that they had turned him. And for a very long time, he didn’t understand why they killed everyone else and decided to spare him.
But with time, he decided to accept the fact that he had been spared and move on. But then it was at that point that Joyce woke up to that concerned look on his face. Mike tried to hide it but it was too darn late, she had already spotted it and therefore mike was left with no other choice but to look for an excuse.
“You look like you have something you want to tell me.” Joyce groaned with a sheepish smile on her face. All the incredible sex had left her all tired and groggy, but feeling incredibly satisfied either way.
Mike paused for a moment, he thought that maybe it wasn’t very wise for him to make that confession that early in their relationship. But at the end of the day, it seemed as though the most important thing was to ensure that everything was out in the open. Within the short time that they had known each other, mike grew to love her and for that, he didn’t want to lose her because of withholding things from her.
He knew that he could pretty much lose her by telling the truth but he knew better to do so than to keep her with lies. Because in his long life, mike had known the truth to always find ways of coming out one way or the other. And so mike made a point of closing her eyes, breathing in and out for a while and then decided to spill the beans once and for all.
“I am a vampire.”
-Acceptance-
“Are you a vampire?”
“Yes, I am a vampire. But I am a good one. I would never do a damn thing to hurt you and you know that. I just wanted to get this one out of the way so that we can forge our way forward without any secrets.”
Then there was this incredibly long stretch of silence as they both let the moment sink in. it was at that moment that mike had to start preparing the possibility of losing the girl that he was starting to develop feelings for permanently. And he also knew that if at all he was getting to lose her, then there was absolutely nothing he was going to do about it.
That was the worst thing about the whole thing, not being able to do a damn thing at all. Once he had already spoken something that he had been hiding for many decades, he was supposed to feel as though a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. But now the funniest thing happened. Instead of feeling as though a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, all he felt as though something heavy had been added to the burden that he was already feeling.
Mike then made a point of glancing at her and she was still dead silent, not uttering a damn word. Mike could read her feelings, and at that moment, he just wasn’t sure about how she wanted to react because she wasn’t showing anything that he could end up picking up.
But by the mere fact that she wasn’t as scared as the average human would be when they were told that they had just shagged a real life vampire, mike decided to give himself a benefit of a doubt,
at least for a moment or two. But as the silence stretched even further, mike started getting a little bit more anxious than normal and for a moment, it seemed as though he just had to ask her whatever the heck was going on in her pretty little head.
“Oh, nothing. I am just curious as to how a vampire did all of these things so perfectly. You lasted more than ten men would even after having their times combined and yet you were so gentle, making sure that you were getting to hit every single part of myself without any struggle.”
But still, Joyce was still not answering his question at all. What mike wanted to know was why she wasn’t scared by the fact that he just confessed he was a vampire. And even though he didn’t utter a word, it seemed as though his look was enough get her to decipher what question was trotting in his mind. And she decided that maybe it wasn’t fair for her to keep him guessing.
“Well, my boss peter came clean about who you guys were. And trust me, I freaked out. But after a while, I figured that if you guys hadn’t killed people yet, what was it that you were waiting for? And for a moment, it occurred to me that indeed, there are some good vampires out there.”
The last time that mike had that kind of a sense of relief was when the blood suckers decided to spare his life way back and just turned him into a vampire. It was an incredible feeling knowing that Joyce wasn’t going to abandon him despite everything that they had been through. And now, it was time to move the relationship to another level.
“And when were you planning on telling me all about this huh?”
“Well, we human females like to put men into plenty of tests over and over and over again just to test your worth. And once we would have made sure that you are worthy, then we can tell you your mistakes. You, on the other hand, didn’t make any mistakes. Word of advice – never withhold information from a human female.”
-The fight-
The movie was incredible and as everyone was walking away from it, it seemed as though something was wrong but for a moment there, mike could tell what. There was just something in the wind that screamed ‘looming danger’ and so he had to be careful. Joyce didn’t notice anything and so she continued making all the chatter in the world, laughing as she walked as fast as possible towards the car.
But then his worst nightmare came to happen. Two vampires jumped in front of them and behind them, respectively, all shifted and ready for a fight. The sharp fangs sipped slowly through his lips and his eyes turned glow-white while his finger nails became longer. He quickly held tightly on Joyce and growled.
It was at that moment that Joyce realized that she was in the war of a shit storm and there was no way out.
“Good evening mike or should we say, Viktor? It has been a very long time. Do you remember us?”
“Of course I do. You made me into a vampire. What I didn’t understand is why?”
“Ah, it was simple. You were a brilliant mind and we knew you could keep the wealth for us as well struggled to survive. You know, the humans were trying to kill us all at one point. But you, you were resourceful. And all the war proceedings were carefully hidden over the centuries while we watched. And now, we have come for everything you own, including your human pet. She smells nice. I shall eat her first.” The vampire growled.
For a very long time, mike always knew that this day was going to come sooner than later. And thankfully, he had been preparing for it. He quickly tossed Joyce under the car and started fighting the two vampires in a murderous rage. If they wanted the wealth, they could have had it all. But there was nothing person that they were never taking from him and that was Joyce.
And while the grizzly fight was going on, Joyce covered both her eyes and ears, making sure she wasn’t seeing all of the blood gushing from the fight. All she hoped was that when she opened her eyes, all of the blood and the monsters would have gone.
The fight didn’t last long. Mike used his girl as motivation to give him the strength to stay focused and strong and needless to say, he managed to stay on top of the curve at the end of the day. Besides, it seemed as though everything was going to work out rather perfectly because mike had managed to slay his demons. But despite that fact, other demons were just about to pop up in his world.
Mike had killed the vampires. But he had been injured a great deal and that said, he would need some time to recover from the injuries.
***
Mike fell to the ground. And for a moment, he didn’t have an idea of what had come over him. For over three centuries he had managed to restrain himself from feeding on a human. But now, out of lack of choice, he had to do it. And now he didn’t how to convince his woman that he didn’t have a choice.
Joyce just stood there, watching him with her mouth wide open and tears falling from her eyes. It was such a difficult thing for her to get herself to understand why mike would break a promise that he made just a couple of months back.
“Baby, I can explain. I was left with no choice!” mike pleaded as he finally stood over the body that he had killed, trying as much as possible not to break down to tears.
“It’s too late. I don’t want to see you again!”
And with that, Joyce took to her heels and ran as fast as possible, trying as much as possible not to look back. Her heart had been shredded into pieces and there was nothing Mike could do about it.
-Love is forgiveness-
Mike had broken the promise. And that wasn’t what they had agreed on. Despite being a vampire, and a vicious one if he wanted to, he made a pact that as long as he was dating her, mike wasn’t going to be violent. But now, it seemed as though everything that he had promised was nothing but shit and needless to say,
Joyce sat up all night crying. Her heart had been misleading her all the time. How on earth could she had fallen for a vampire when her mind already told her that he was a monster? Love was clearly blind.
Eventually, it seemed as though things were starting to get a little bit twisted than normal. And it was at that moment that Joyce remembered that one very important quote that she had been taught from cradle to always embrace. It was all about people not being able to mix with animals because animals will always be animals and they would always follow instinct.
It was apparent that mike wasn’t human, but an animal. And when he was attacked, the first instinct that he had was to kill. Every single time she closed her eyes, she just remembered how the horrors went down in front of her eyes, how he jumped from one vampire to the next, ripping their throats off and taking their hearts.
Then there was the blood that was spilling all over the place. It was just too darn disgusting and quite a horror to see.
She tried everything she could to erase the horrors from her mind including having to drink copious amounts of alcohol. But from the look of things, even that didn’t do her any good since the moment she got sober, the grim images came back flooding into her head, making her feel as though she was going to be sick.
As soon as she had broken into a run from the scene and told him never to come looking for her or even call her, she didn’t make an attempt to try and find out how he was doing. And that was a little bit difficult especially as far as he was concerned since he clearly loved her.
And if he wasn’t going to have the chance to get to know more about her, then it meant that she was going to start to miss him. And since missing someone she considered a monster wasn’t going to be an option, Joyce ended up drowning herself in much more liquor.
She wasn’t receiving any calls from anyone including her dad as well as her new boss, peter. Thankfully, peter had been running that club for as long as he could remember and so he figured that maybe she was just having a rather bad day and she was going to come round and show up.
But as the days went by, it seemed as though it wasn’t happening. And so it was time for him to do something about it.
And it was at that moment that peter, his employer, came through the door. It was open and he had sensed that something was dreadfully wrong. He h
ad tried to call Joyce for a while but from the look of things, it seemed as though what he had warned mike about at the beginning of this relationship had come to pass. But still, peter believed that the relationship could work out.
And that explained why he made a point of visiting, trying his level best to ensure that everything was getting to work out rather perfectly in the end.
“Peter, I am not in the mood to talk right now. I am sure you can manage your club for a couple of days until I am emotionally stable.”
“I am sorry for intruding but you didn’t close the door. Also, you weren’t calling back or replying my texts. I was concerned.”
“And now you can see that I am perfectly fine”
“Yes I have seen you but my dear, you are far from being perfectly fine. And I will tell you why. Look, there is something you need to know about mike and why he did what he had to.”
