Sarah became aware of him the moment that he walked into the dimly lit bar,as had every other person,he was impossible to ignore.Tall,dark haired,slim and devastatingly handsome ,dressed in a DJ,crisp white wing collared shirt and black bow tie,he looked cool and sophisticated,but there was something else,something indefinable,dark.
All eyes were upon him as he confidently strolled over to the bar.The bar maid licked her suddenly dry lips.Every one strained to hear his words,his voice.
"Double Vodka,straight,on the rocks"he drawled.
American,thought Sarah,although there was a hint of some thing else, was it Eastern European.? He drew a silver note clip from his pocket and took out a fifty pound note."And your best bottle of ruby Cabernet and two glasses."
Sarah's heart sank,he was meeting someone.Of course he was,a man like him probably never spent an evening alone,or a night in an empty bed.
"Bring it to my table"he ordered as he pressed the note into the girls palm.
As he turned ,his eyes locked with Sarah's, they shone with a mischievous glint.A wicked smile curved his lips as he made his way towards her.Sarah felt her stomach muscles clench nervously.Her mouth was dry and her heart pounded furiously. As he reached her table,he stood looking down at her,his grin broadening,showing off his even white teeth..Sarah shivered.
"Pray tell me"He began as his eyes roamed over the flesh exposed by her strapless dress" Why is such a beautiful woman like yourself sitting alone in a bar?"His gaze rested briefly on the pulse beating at the base of her neck,before looking back into her eyes.
"My date has stood me up"Sarah said breathlessly.
"Then his folly is my fortune"he said smoothly as he sat down opposite her.
He had an odd turn of phrase,old fashioned,from a bygone age,yet she found it strangely appealing.
The bar maid appeared at the table and placed the glass of vodka, the bottle of wine and two wine glasses in front of him"Thank you"he said looking at her, his eyes roaming over her plump body, even in the dim light the flaming of her cheeks and heaving of her voluminous breasts, was clearly noticeable. He turned his eyes away from her, effectively dismissing her.
He poured two glasses of wine and pushed one towards Sarah"I do enjoy a glass of red wine,rich and smooth,it warms the blood and leaves such a pleasant after taste" His voice was like the caress of silk over her skin as he leaned towards her.
If Sarah had ever felt the thrill of excitement before, it was nothing compared with the rush of anticipation that scorched through her.She could feel her breath deepening and her nipples growing hard.
She couldn't drag her eyes from his,she felt as if she was drowning in their icy blue-grey depths .It was he who drew his gaze away from hers,and she closed her eyes for a moment and drew a deep,steadying breath.When she opened them she saw he was dipping his forefinger in his wine,he reached out and held his finger to Sarah's lips.This is madness her brain screamed,but it was if he held her in a hypnotic trance,her lips parted,he slipped his finger into her warm mouth and she sucked on it,only too aware of the blatantly sexual message she was sending out to him,this,dark enigmatic,stranger who stirred her senses.
"You have a beautiful mouth"he whispered"Full of the promise of pleasures yet to be shared"
He withdrew his finger from her mouth and slipped it into his own.It was such an erotic action that Sarah gasped.
He laughed softly.
"I think that you are attracted to me"He said softly,leaning further towards her.
" I'm not"she lied breathlessly."It's just........."
"Come now,you feel what I feel,want what I want"he interrupted"And we are far too old to be playing games"He added,taking a sip of his wine By now his face was so close to hers that she could feel the warmth of his breath upon her cheek,the mixed scent of his cologne and the wine assailing her nostrils."But we need not rush, we have all night" he whispered in her ear.He ran the tip of his tongue along her jaw and then down to the pulse beating frantically in her neck.He paused there and pressed his lips to it.
Sarah's eyes fluttered closed.Never had a man made her feel the way she was feeling now.She wanted him,wanted to feel his body on her,in her.His tongue retraced it's way up her neck and with a groan of satisfaction took her lips with his.
He gripped her upper arms his fingers biting into her soft flesh and she could do no more than make a small sound of protest.A wave of panic washed over her,feeling faint,her panic mixing with a very forbidden pleasure as he let go of her arms to cup her head,forcing her into acceptance of his mouth,his probing tongue between her lips,bringing a spasmodic and wild reaction as it penetrated deeper.
Dazed and shaking she was completely subdued,incapable of any struggle,her body guilty of an unfamiliar melting as his mouth moved languorously,moving against hers with complete mastery.
She had never felt like this before,this actual physical ache,this inability to move.She gave up trying to save herself allowing him to ravage her mouth.
Dimly she realised that she was kissing him back,her arms moving of their own violation and were now wrapped tightly around his neck,her fingers buried in his hair,an empty hunger in her that needed to be met .He let the hunger continue for another second then made a sound of satisfaction,easing his mouth away slowly and then releasing her.
"You taste good"he said with a smile,that didn't quite reach his eyes
All she could do was stare at him,her eyes glazed as she raised her fingers to her swollen lips,she tasted blood,was it hers?,was it his?
She shook her head trying to clear it make some sense of what had just happened.
"Shall we go some where more.......private"He suggested."The night is young and I have so much to learn about you,to teach you"
Sarah nodded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah awoke with a start.The sunlight streaming through the window hurt her eyes,she closed them,blocking out it's painful brightness.Her head was pounding.She sat up in bed rubbing her temples trying to remember what she had done the night before.
Ben hadn't turned up at the bar as they had arranged.The stranger,that man,oh God.....he'd come on to her........and ...she couldn't remember.
She sat up and stretched,her body ached all over.Had she had too much to drink?Had he drugged her?
Think Sarah,think she told herself.
She remembered nothing past leaving the bar with him and then suddenly the aching of her body and the feeling of her sex lips,still full and throbbing,made it obvious that she'd had sex with him,but why couldn't she remember.Sliding out of bed,she padded across her apartment to her bathroom and looking in the full length mirror she was horrified to see her body covered in bruises,not bruises,she told herself,love bites and one,just above her right breast where the skin had been broken by two puncture marks.
"No!"she breathed"It's not possible"Then the mans face appeared in her mind,his pale skin,his voice,his clothes.She turned from the mirror and sank to the floor,pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them,rocking to and fro slightly she tried to find another explanation other that the one that was screaming in her head but all that would come was the one word.
Vampire!
