DemetriusI never understand why people flock to these campuses like sheep to a slaughter. Yes, there are some degrees and educations that are of importance; doctors, attorneys, educators themselves, but wasting time and money on a meaningless degree was beyond what I could comprehend. Humans were such ignorant creatures.My lovely Xenia didn’t fall in that category, of course. She was intelligent, beautiful, and strong, an all-around great woman, and it’s because of that that I find myself in this precarious situation.She had revealed to Avalon how upset she was that being unable to attend school would mean she wouldn’t obtain her degree. Everything she’d worked so hard for was being taken from her. And being as though I had no idea how long I would need to keep her hidden, that would be indefinitely. So, against my better judgement I decided to take it upon myself to do some… persuading.“You must be Mr. Escoffier. Right this way.” I eye the woman who greeted me excitedly, not missi
XeniaShaky fingers trail down my chest against my laced see-through shirt as I glance to the side. I tug at the hem of my leather mini skirt while giving myself a once over. Okay. Admittedly, my ass looks good in this skirt, but now I’m thinking maybe staying inside wouldn’t be so bad after all. But Demetrius said he was going to be out and about, and I’m wondering where the hell to. That kind of annoys me. He can come and go as he pleases, but I’m expected to stay in like a child on punishment? No. That doesn’t really work for me. And it’s that thought that pushes me over the edge and makes me stick with the decision. I’m going out, and I’m going to have fun.With vampires… “Damn, girl. You look good!” Isabel’s words make me blush now that I’m under the scrutiny of gazes from others. “This is Hendrix, Yuno, and you know Celine, right? Guys, this is Xenia. She’s new.” She’s said new like I’m a thing and not a person making me tense. I climb inside the back of the bla
DemetriusThat was so… exhilarating. My body feels alive, empowered, and rejuvenated from the blood and energy she fed me. Why is she so different than any I’ve had before? It’s so much more than simple sustenance. I smirk triumphantly thinking about how she had just said I would never have anything from her again, and yet she gave so much willingly. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind giving her something in return. I’m surprised she didn’t seem to have any inhibitions giving herself over to me so easily in this setting, but I have a feeling the strong scent of alcohol on her breath may be a factor. The next time I make her come and have her chanting my name, we will be alone. Her body and those sounds are only for me.Speaking of which, it’s taking everything in me not to crack the heads of Hendrix and Yuno. I don’t care that they have no idea of the extent of our relationship. In fact, that’s exactly how I want it. But that doesn’t make me any less angry. If anyone here had put their hands o
Unknown VampireFrom this view, sitting back and lurking in the shadows, I see all. Something had led me to this despicable place, and although it’s a venue I typically wouldn’t frequent, I decided to follow my instincts, and as always, it paid off. Even though I’m not within the safe confines of my coven boundaries, I have no fear of harm coming to me. Anonymity is my companion, so I felt the need to mask my scent and I don’t regret that for a moment. Because just as I was about to leave, on the cusp of giving up after becoming extremely bored with the countless women putting everything they had to offer on show for all to see, my beauty appeared like the answer to a prayer. It’s no mere coincidence we are here together. Her marking has led her straight to me. The problem is she’s not alone. Who the fuck are they? She’s accompanied by two vampires, and it takes everything in me not to turn this room into a blood bath. They aren’t weak, bottom feeders, but their strength doesn’t compa
XeniaCoffee in the morning. Is there even a better scent? Whoever thought of this blissful, caffeinated concoction, they have my forever gratitude.I stretch my arms, rolling around in the spacious bed before making the mistake of moving my head too quickly. Instant throbbing to my temples. That not-so-good reminder of the eventful evening before. That’s right... last night, I went out. Of course I have a hangover. I mixed liquor with fruity drinks and remember having at least a couple of shots before things start to get a little fuzzy. My eyes dart around the dark room in concern. This bed isn’t my bed, and this room isn’t my room. Well, the other one isn’t mine either really, but it’s where I’ve been resting my head the last couple of days. I massage my temples while attempting to put the pieces of last night’s events together. Strippers, vampires, alcohol, blood…?It’s still a bit of a blur. Where’s that damn coffee? My feet hit the floor before I realize I’m in an oversized t-s
DemetriusThe way her scent lingers in my bed has me going back to it in repetition. My sheets haven’t been washed for that very reason. If only I could bottle that scent of hers up and keep it with me at all times. Xenia… Yes. It sounds like something exotic and intriguing, just like her. Was she the only thing that crossed my mind? Basically.After she ran out of my room like she was being chased, Yuno and Hendrix bombarded me with questions. “So Mr. ‘I don’t do humans,’ is in fact doing a human?” Yuno smirks as if he was the cleverest vampire of all and that grates my nerves. I don’t recall specifically saying I didn’t do humans, because there were times they would satisfy my needs, but that was it. So, I suppose his inference wasn’t completely off base. Still, his conjecture is unnecessary. “Yeah. I can’t say I’m too surprised to see her here after the show you put on last night,” Hendrix adds making my annoyance grow.“Oh, and what show would that be?” I ask crossing
I’m not sure what came over me and led me to his room. There was this nagging in the back of my mind like we had unfinished business after what happened earlier, or maybe it was the fact that his father had pretty much warned me to stay away from him and something deep of me inside wanted to rebel against that.Who knows? But once his lips meet mine, all those questions and uncertainties go flying out the window.Am I really doing this, pressing him, once again making the first move? I’ve had nothing to drink but water and coffee today, so there’s no blaming the alcohol this time. I know he’s a vampire and that should turn me off, but he’s so freaking attractive, and the way he looks at me, the way he makes me feel… I’ve never felt more wanted in my life.I’m not sure if it’s me he wants or my blood, maybe even my body, but in this moment, I don’t really care. He can take and take until I can’t give anymore.He pulls me towards him pressing his lips firmly against mine, just like I ask
Demetrius I lie in my bed staring up at the ceiling as the sunlight drifts in the room. Another night of great sleep, thanks to a certain someone. It’s something that has been commonplace the last few days, but in the past very rare.The woman beside me shuffles making a cute little sound and I pull her close with a wide grin. She doesn’t wake but I’m not surprised by the way I handled her body the night before and early into morning hours. The way she continued to give herself to me relentlessly surprised me. Her human body is stronger than I anticipated. Just thinking about it and staring at her naked form has me ready for more, but I decide against it. She really does need the rest. Even though I fed her my blood, her body needs to recuperate. There will be plenty of time for more rounds later.I kiss her forehead gently relishing the way she feels next to me. It has been a week of repetition just like this except each time is more exciting. We’ve come up with a sort of
