Stevenson pushed his way into the novelty shop. he walked boldly past the clerk to the door in back and entered without hesitating. He skirted through rooms filled with vampires huddled together in small circles around couples, trios, or singles providing never-ending sexual entertainment until he reached the large, gilded door and then paused to regain his composure. Of late, the number of captives he’d presented to Wadim was painfully limited and lacking in substance. It had been months since he’d received such a large inventory of beauties to present at once. This new shipment would certainly put him in a better bargaining position for the future. He knocked soundly, stepping back slightly while the lion’s head doorknob turned without him touching it and the door slowly opened.
Ignoring the others in the room, Stevenson confidently climbed the spiral staircase leading to the observation balcony where Wadim sat regally on his gilded throne. As he rea
I reflected on our decision as I stood in front of the mirror inspecting the marks on my neck. It was the only thing we could think of to fool the guards and make them believe Mei-Lien had finally fed. With great deliberation, she’d taken a strand of her silky hair and measured the width between her fangs. Then she carefully took a steak knife that fell off the tray when the guard removed my dishes. She positioned the strand of hair on my neck and she punctured my skin to look like her fangs had penetrated. After which, she dabbed my blood on the corner of her mouth and fought the urge to lick it.“The urge in me is strong. I am changing. Soon it will be too late,” Mei-Lien moaned in frustration.She dreaded becoming like Wadim and was fighting it as hard as she could. Soon she’d no longer have control over her body and she’d give in to the desires and ways of the vampire.“Do you want to become one of them?” I ask
Even with the door as a barrier, there was no denying the screams of a woman in anguish that pierced the air. Dao-Ming stiffened in Shen’s embrace. Although his senses were dulled from his daily drug doses, hers were acute. She shuddered as she gently pushed her lover away and sat at the edge of the bed.“A new shipment has arrived,” she said in a voice just above a whisper.Shen struggled to focus. He was growing less and less aware of his surroundings with every dose of potion they forced him to drink. He felt as if he was living in a lucid dream where his sexual fantasies were becoming sexual nightmares. Sex was becoming so routine it held little value or appreciation for him now. It was becoming a revolting task instead of a sensual pleasure. It was just something that he did over and over and over again. It was as commonplace as breathing.The fact that he was providing stud service for the purpose of increasing Wadim’s stock d
A frightened girl stumbled as Stevenson shoved her into the line. Shrill gasps escaped the bedraggled row of captives when Wadim entered the room and walked back and forth observing them. He stopped in front of a few, cupping their chins in his bony hands and turning their heads to study their profiles. A look of disgust consumed his death-like features.“There is very little of value here. I expected better,” he spat.Stevenson wasn’t worried. He’d witnessed this reaction from Wadim every time he brought in a newload of captives. It was the vampire’s way of getting theprice for the shipment down. Stevenson wondered whyhe bothered. It went without saying that Wadim would only have to pay what he wished to pay; if he paid at all. Then Stevenson would be forced to buy back the captives Wadim rejected. More often than not it was at an inflated price. Stevenson was at his mercy. Since Wadim seemed to enjoy his little ga
Sleep was impossible for Dao-Ming as she lay next to Shen. She knew all too well the reason for the wild screams coming from the new shipment. She wondered how many Wadim kept and how many were to be sold. It was rumored that the buyers weren’t vampires. She’d heard Wadim ran a large slave and prostitute trafficking business and his buyers were prominent men and women from around the globe. The black man they called Stevenson was in charge of these transactions. She saw him only once. That was when she was taken. She knew immediately by the way the others jumped when he spoke that he was in a position of power.The door silently opened and a guard stepped in. He sneered down at Shen before reaching over him to grab Dao-Ming’s wrist and pull her off the bed. Shen stirred and tried to grab for her, but the drugs sapped his strength for everything but making love.The guard laughed and held her close to him while fondling her defiantly.&ldq
Stevenson put on his most alluring face while he bid the small group of women to enter the novelty shop. The limousine driver lounging against the building smirked as he watched some men grab the women’s arms and pull them away. Stevenson scowled in frustration and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his breast pocket. He’d redeemed himself in Wadim’s eyes with that last shipment. He wanted to keep the flow going. It wouldn’t do to allow his shipments to fall back in size and quality again. Although his men were doing a good job, he liked to be able to take the credit for contributing now and then; especially when he spotted fine looking women such as these.Stevenson was reveling in relief after his last shipment. Wadim made it clear on more than one occasion that Stevenson was slipping in his duties and he was considering replacing him. If that happened, Stevenson would end up as dinner instead of at dinner. He’d do anything to keep that f
Shen paced the room. There was enough of a lapse in time since his last dose of potion to allow his mind some semblance of connection to his body, as well as become more aware of his surroundings. The curtains were drawn back and the brilliant sun shone hazy and distorted through the thick, darkened glass. It taunted him that the world was still living, even if he wasn’t.They hadn’t brought Dao-Ming to him. He assumed she’d conceived, since a new female was presented to him and was now lying asleep in his bed. The door creaked softly as the guard entered with his food cart. His lustful sneers at the female in the bed didn’t go unnoticed. Although Shen was more himself, he was still a long way off from being in a position to challenge the guard in any way. Besides, this young woman meant nothing to him. She was just part of the job he was forced to do. He didn’t want to see harm come to her, but he also didn’t feel a strong inclinatio
I stared at my reflection in the wash basin as I prepared for the fight. How had I gotten myself mixed up in this?Thoughts of Jessica floated through my mind. I remembered how lovely she looked the night I met up with her at Mickey’s bar.She was sipping on a glass of wine and didn’t notice me when I approached her from behind until I smothered her neck with kisses.Recognizing my scent, she’d smiled and held my hands, as they rested on her shoulders. She leaned back against my chest and tipped her face upwards to allow me access to her soft, moist lips. I smile when I recalled her forced pout when she informed me that I’d kept her waiting once again.I enjoyed Jessica. She was a compatible match for me. She rarely angered or got agitated with me and she allowed me far more freedom and liberties to pursue my own interests than any woman I’d ever known. In fact, the only quarrel I could recall -other than when I left to
Mei-Lien opened the door to the closet and signaled for Shen and Dao-Ming to come out. Shen was the first to cautiously creep out with Dao-Ming close behind. They stealthily followed Mei-Lien down the corridor. When the trio reached the great room they hid in the shadows in the back of the room below the balcony.Shen winced when he saw Dumitru flying through the air and landing on me with such force.“I trained him in the ancient art of Kung Fu, not this... this... circus act. He will die if this keeps up,” he whispered softly.His anger was easy to hear, even if his voice was only the faintest of whispers.Dao-Ming covered her eyes until the referee declared the half-time break. She opened them in time to see two servants dragging my limp body out of the ring and through a small door in the back of the room. The crowd bustled with excitement while Dumitru walked amongst them shaking hands while looking cool and unruffled.Shen f
