It was on a cold October night, the full moon a glow casting its eerie light upon the ground, I decided to turn in early; it was if my pain and loneliness had taken hold of my soul. It was the longing human need to love and be loved I missed and I had the need to feel a man near my body as I lay down to sleep. Through the window I thought I heard a voice calling out to me, it was as soft and gentle as the night wind that blew gently over me. "Call on me", "Call on me", I could instantly feel the throbbing in my veins, a strong urge not to resist. I could see the moons rays casting shadows on the walls of my room, I could feel that the midnight hour was approaching; I lay there wondering what it was that I was hearing.
I could feel his breath upon my body, closer and closer he came in the darkness, then as if by magic he was beside me, caressing my body and playing me like a fine guitar. I noticed his eyes; they were like the crystal blue ocean. I could feel his stare as it pierced through to my soul. I could not take my eyes from his, I struggled to understand from which he came, like a thief in the night, this charming soul taking man. He whispered love words and promises of long tomorrows as he lay down beside me.
I tried, but could not fight his power and his strength was none like I have ever felt before. I felt my body lifting to his soft gentle touch, my blood on fire, burning with the need for him to consume me. "Ask me to take you", he whispered, "Ask me to love you"? His words were as caressing as his touch and his eyes burning passion into my soul. I struggled to get away from under him but his gaze was so beautiful I could not bear to look away.
"Don't be afraid", he softly cooed," I am here to ease your pain, take away your loneliness". He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. "I am here to love you for eternity". I don't recall my answer at that moment, I felt as if I had been pulled into a magnetic flow where I had no control. “Please"! I cried, at that moment I could hear the silence outside the window, no birds, and no rustle of the leaves, only darkness and the shadows dancing like stars on the walls of my room.
Somehow in the moment of silence, he and I became one, he was ever so gentle ever so slow, and it was agony the way my body gave into him. The hunger consumed the both of us as he slowly ran his hand through my hair. I could feel his breath upon my neck, my body urging him to continue as I felt his teeth pierce the soft skin of my neck.
"Yes", I whispered, "Yes"!
As he drank the nectar that drew him to me I could feel the fire burning through my veins. As I gathered my senses I could see his smiling blue eyes gazing down on me. "I am, he said, "Lord of the Vampires, King of Darkness, you are mine forever"! As quickly as he consumed me he was gone, leaving me with my fire and passion still burning. I longed for him to return. Where had he gone?
I awoke to the mornings light, seemly exhausted, I thought it must have been a dream. I still felt exhausted by the night's events, as I walked into the bathroom and gazed in the mirror, it was then I saw the tiny droplets of blood on my neck. Confused and startled I fell back against the wall, my dream lover was a reality? What had he said? "Lord of the Vampires"? Confusion fell over me as I made my way to the kitchen, it was then I noticed the light bothering my eyes. I pulled down the shades and sat at the table. I would now wait for the return of my lover, now knowing forever we would be connected, that forever I would live waiting for his return to love me........
