It took about an hour to arrange for a new door to be installed and the room to be cleaned up to its usual standard.Aric decided to take Liberty for a stroll during the break to clear his head while the others worked.Even though it was cold outdoors, he felt warmer when she smiled brightly at the suggestion.She clapped her hands enthusiastically and exclaimed, "I'd love to!"Her grin wavered as she questioned, "But what about the sun?" How much would that hurt, if at all?Aric groaned and said, "I told you." "We vampires are more sensitive to sunlight than humans are, but that doesn't stop us from going outside at noon.When he saw that her excitement was making it difficult for her to remain still, he replied, "Put on your shoes, and we can go."Then she rushed to a nearby chair and yanked on her boots while giving him a peck on the cheek.When Aric saw that she was prepared, he offered her his collar. When he saw the happy expression fade at the sight of it, he almost decided not
When I saw a group of tiny white blossoms trying to break through the thick pine needles covering the ground, I bent down and brushed the pungent needles aside.After selecting a couple, I rubbed my hands together to release the flower's delicious, spicy aroma.I held out my cupped palms to Aric and said, "Here, sniff."He bent forward and took a smell, seeming doubtful.He then stood back up and added, "Spicy."I sniffed my hands again and told him, "It's phlox." "Once upon a time, my father owned a book about wildflowers. I read it about twenty times before he finally agreed to swap it."I wiped my hands on my knees, got to my feet, and continued my investigation.If I didn't find anything interesting, I'd glance to Aric for approval to continue exploring.Seeing his approval, I descended the steep hill toward the running stream. The road was in terrible shape as I emerged from the woods.To get a better look at the river, I sprinted over the cracked asphalt, enjoying the roar of th
As his pulse raced, Aric clutched Liberty to his chest. Almost lost her, he thought.At that point, he had to look down, or he would have a nervous breakdown. He drew her closer, relishing the sensation of her lips on his. He was overjoyed when he felt her respond to his advances and her lips part for his inquisitive tongue.Freedom, he said, raising his head to look her in the eyes.She reached out and gently stroked his cheek as she called out his name.He picked her up and took her into the trees so that he could feel her body against his. He put her down and kissed her passionately as they tugged at each other's clothing.While Aric tore Liberty's leggings and underwear from her body, Liberty hurriedly undid Aric's belt, opening his pants and freeing his member.He picked her up and trapped her against a nearby tree, his manhood probing her wet orifice.He purposefully allowed the tip to tickle her inner folds, preventing her from slipping over him.He cooed, "Say it," savoring he
I could pull myself up and glance around when I realized what had happened; Aric was standing over me with a horrified expression on his face.That was the last thing on my mind after we had done it.I felt a knot in my throat as guilt and disgust for myself overwhelmed me.I turned my head away and wiped my lips in the dark to get rid of the bloody taste.I forced myself to my feet and, with tears streaming down my cheeks, tugged my sweater as low as it would go to hide my exposed legs.Aric led me into the woods and made me beg him to take me and wonder what I had done wrong.Did it have anything to do with the fact that I bit him?In a low voice, I whispered, "Aric," and I looked at him for the first time. I apologize for biting you.Never mind, he muttered curtly, seizing my elbow and dragging me back up the hill towards the home.Tears streaming down my face, I said, "Aric?" I was perplexed and terrified.With a tight grip on my arm, he growled, "Quiet," as we strolled by the oth
After using the facilities, Aric came out from the restroom feeling considerably improved. The fact that he was attracted to Liberty still frightened him. Why did he have such a strong desire for her?While scanning the room, he spotted her on her knees in front of the fireplace, where she was apparently burning something in the grate.Advancing stealthily, he peered over her shoulder and confirmed that it was the same outfit she'd been wearing.Liberty sobbed as she saw them disintegrate and wiped her eyes as she rearranged the debris to ensure complete combustion.He put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Liberty."She screamed in fright and then ran away from him on all fours to hide behind a group of couches.She coughed, "I'm sorry," and looked at him with red eyes.He knelt beside her and asked, "What are you sorry for?"She wailed, "For making you upset," as she shrank from his extended palm.Inquiring, "What makes you believe I'm furious with you?" Aric asked.She blew her no
As Aric forced himself to his feet and fled the room, my arms sagged to my sides.As soon as I heard the scream of his automobile coming down the driveway, I recognized him. Because of me, he left.I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong. He kissed me first, and I returned the gesture—did I not follow protocol?Where did you expect me to go with that? Did he get what he hoped for?Even though the sex had been hard, he never made it seem like he intended any harm. It wasn't like he'd tried to hurt me or strike me, but it was clear he needed me.I hugged my knees, placed my head on the floor, and cried.Before he kept me, Aric had informed me he didn't want a pet when he first caught me during a hunt.Sometimes he was kind, even friendly, and sometimes harsh, but the events in the woods were exceptional.I could sense that his kiss and touch were full of genuine emotion.Yet, why was he treating me so poorly if that were the case?After waiting an hour, it became clear that Aric wasn'
Aric waited in his car outside the bordello, watching as other vampires came and went, but he still couldn't bring himself to join them.The notion of caressing another lady had been appealing on the way there, but he quickly lost interest once he arrived.Sitting in his car, he mused, "What has she done to me?"When someone rapped on his window, he leaped startlingly.As he looked up, he realized Henry was gazing at him from behind the pane of glass.He sighed and pushed open the door, leaving the warm inside for the cold outside.Henry slapped his pal on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Aric." "Are you going to come inside, or are you just going to sit in the parking lot and observe people like some kind of crazy weirdo?"Aric said with a forced chuckle, "I intended to be the strange eccentric."His pal questioned, "What's wrong?" as he sulked.Aric groaned; his best buddy knew the truth about how he felt.I feel like I've made a huge mistake," he sobbed against his automobile.Henry ex
I awoke in a chilly, rigid state.When I opened my eyes, the sun had set, and the room was pitch black with no lights.To begin, I slowly straightened my legs by bending them at the hips instead of the knees.Once I could sit up straight, I waited for the prickling to subside before I attempted to stand.I had to relieve the pressure on my bladder to get my thoughts in order.As I dried my hands, I walked back into the bedroom and started flipping switches.It appeared that Aric had not yet returned, and the rumbling in my stomach had increased in volume.It was May; he was back, and I had missed it. When I walked to the window, I could see that the garage door was open and that his car had not returned.A sensation of hunger made my stomach knot up, but I forced myself to relax and focus on my breathing until it passed. It had been so long since the previous meal that I had forgotten all about it.It felt like at least a whole day had passed.As I bit my lip, I weighed the possibilit
