The right time...
I wrote this for a friend a few years ago, who said it was great. It was my first attempt at a male and female short story.
I hope you enjoy it (And don't laugh too much from his accent...lol)
My friend asked me to redo it, without the accent...can't think why...
It is the end of yet another long shift at the hospital as she gathers her things from her locker. Everyday it seems as if it is getting harder, the working hours on her schedule mattering less everyday, working almost until she drops.
Looking into her locker, she thinks of why she keeps doing this to herself, why does she make herself come into this place, to work so hard for so very little? She wants to help, to make a difference to other peoples lives, to give of her self, but sometimes it feels as if she isn't getting anything back.
She finishes packing her bag, closes her locker and heads for the main entrance. Bidding her friend on reception a good night as she leaves the hospital. She takes a short cut through the car park, which is lit only by the soft light of the moon. As she crosses the car park she sees it is almost empty. There is very little traffic, even fewer people, about at this time of night. Almost everyday, she works from before dawn until after dusk, the sun only visible through the windows of the hospital.
She emerges from the car park onto the high street, out of habit looking both ways before crossing the road. She checks her watch, sighing to her self at how long she had actually been working. It wasn't unusual for her to do overtime, but today had been especially hard, with more cases and even more troublesome patients...She is glad the day has finally ended, she is looking forward to a nice long soak.
However, unknown to her, a dark figure is watching as she makes her way along the high street. He had been watching her for several weeks, learning her patterns, where she went, who she saw and when...
He had fallen in love with this woman from afar, and tonight he would have her...
Making her way home, humming a favourite tune which he can hear even from his high vantage point, watching intently and waiting for the moment to strike...
Following her atop the buildings, he leaps from rooftop to rooftop, keeping her in sight. After a few minutes, he sees she is coming up to a dark alley where he has planned to make his move. Readying himself he steps onto the safety rail and opening his wings to take flight. But before he can jump he spots others coming towards his beloved. Curbing his desires, he holds his ground and waits.
Although he cannot make them out, he watches the newcomers with hateful eyes, "Damn...leave...leave her!" Oblivious to his commands, the three of them continue with their aggravating conversation, with each passing moment his anger rises...
What seems like an eternity passes, though it is only a few minutes. Frustrated, he can wait no longer, he must take her away and make her his own...Stepping back onto the railing and preparing to take flight, he stops once more as the trio hug and part ways. Watching them for a moment, his gaze turns back to his beloved, his hateful feelings leaving as quickly as they had come to him.
A few short moments, and she will be in place. He waits for those moments to pass with growing anticipation. Spreading his wings wide, he doesn't even look to see if the area is clear before he leaps, gliding silently and swiftly to the rooftop above where he will strike.
His mind is racing, wondering how he will do this, will he simply drop unannounced and surprise her? Will this scare her, make her run from him, force him to hurt her? Or will he simply wait, and allow the right time to come upon them both...
Perched on the rooftop, he ponders these questions, watching as she passes through where he was planning to take her. Why did he not strike when he had the chance? He asks himself this over and over, following her atop the buildings, leaping from one to the next while she is all the while unaware of her pursuer...
His heart beating rapidly as she arrives at her home, unlocking the front door and entering, has he now found his chance? He waits for the lights indoors to come on, to see what she is doing. He climbs down the fire escape outside her home as silently as he can.
Finding her bedroom window, the dark figure ducks down as the light comes on, but unable to control himself he looks back inside at his beloved. He watches as she unbuttons and removes her coat, laying it on the bed. She unties her fiery red hair, shaking her head and fluffing it out, blissfully unaware that she is being observed.
He watches her unpack her bag, placing her belongings into the wardrobe, sorting them as meticulously as he had seen her do a hundred times before. But why has he never had the courage to do more than just watch? What is it about this woman that made him so nervous?
Suddenly he is startled as a lorry drives past, its lights shining all over the street, into the windows and showing the reflections of everything. Except for him. This is why he had never approached her before, why he couldn't; the fear of her rejecting, or even hating what he is...
Being used to the regular traffic and sounds of the lorries at all hours outside her apartment, she does not even look in the windows direction, she simply gets ready for her bath, leaving the outside world to itself...
He follows outside as she moves to the bathroom and begins running a bath. She tests the water, making sure it isn't too hot. His eyes fixate on her as she starts to unbutton her shirt, still humming her favourite tune. She starts to turn move towards the window, and he ducks down to avoid being seen. He curses as she closes the blinds, keeping the night out and privacy in.
Getting up, he searches for even the slightest part in the blinds where he can see in. He finds one such parting at the left side of the window. Looking in, he sees she has removed her shirt and is now unbuckling her pants. Unaware of his scrutiny, she takes them and tosses them by her shirt on the bed.
He watches her sleek but firm, black Porcine body as she leans over the tub, turning off the taps.
Keeping her back to the window, she reaches and unclips her bra, tossing it also onto the bed. Returning to the tub, she swirls and tests the water, smiling; it's just right!
She takes a bottle from the cabinet and opens it, pouring some lotion onto her hands, applying it to her chest and neck, and as best she can to her back. She pours some of the lotion into the bath, turning the water a light and milky colour.
As she removes her underwear, revealing her spiral tail, he looks away. Is this guilt he is feeling? He does not like watching her like this, when she does not know he is there. Angry with himself, he thinks on what to do. He looks to the other window, thinking on getting in there, then sneaking up on her. Before he moves, he turns back to watch, to see that she has turned towards the window and is stepping into the bathtub.
Never before having seen her like this, he cannot take his eyes away as she grips the sides of the bath, lowering herself down. Gasping a little with the heat from the water, she leans back and relaxes. The water comes up and over her breasts, lapping against her chin. She closes her eyes, still humming the tune as her hands massage her body under the water.
His heart races as he watches her bathe, but decides this is the best opportunity he will ever have. He moves back to her bedroom window, checking for any crack he may be able to use to force it open. He searches for any kind of opening; maybe she hasn't closed it fully.
He finds what he is looking for, a small crack at the bottom of the frame. Pressing his claws in he pulls on the window, his great strength allowing him to easily open it.
Listening intently to the sounds from the bathroom, he climbs into her bedroom, closing the window behind him. Aside from the bathroom and a table light in the bedroom, the only light in the apartment is coming from the moonlight outside.
Looking around the room, he notices the bed is freshly made; his mind moving to more seductive thoughts. Noticing there isn't anywhere he can hide in the room, as she would surely see him as soon as she left the bathroom, he sees the hallway door is ajar, which gives him his best option. He creeps across the room, watching the bathroom door, and listening for any signs that she has heard him. He can hear her splashing away in the tub, as she bathes and washes her hair...wishing he were in there with her...
Curbing his thoughts, he moves into the hallway, spying round the area, seeing if there was any place he could hide out here. Again, nothing...what was he going to do? Continuing his exploration of her apartment, he finds himself in her living room. It is dark as he moves inside, looking around at the little figurines she had on the shelves. All of a sudden he is startled by the sound of movement in the bedroom. He ducks behind the sofa, where he listens.
In the bathroom, her ears perk up as she hears the same noise. She gets out of the bath and grabs a towel, wrapping it around her chest. She opens the bedroom door, poking her head in to look around. Unable to notice anything that has moved, she enters and keeps looking. As she gets beside the bed, she feels a breeze, and looking at the window, she can see he hadn't closed the window fully. The wind had blown over a picture frame, which she picks up, looking at it and the window in confusion. "I'm sure I closed that...Hmm, I guess not." Looking around she puts the picture frame back on the bedside table, closes the window and returns to the bathroom. A little shaken, instead of getting back into the tub, she leans over it and rinses her hair.
In the living room, he listens to her fading footsteps as she closes the door to the bathroom. Sighing in relief, looks over the sofa.
He thinks to himself "What am I doing? Hiding?" He stands and walks around the sofa, determined to walk right in there and claim her as his own. He gets to the doorway but suddenly turns and flees, once again taking refuge behind the sofa as the bathroom door opens. He can't help but smile to himself at how she is making him feel, so very nervous, when he has faced many more dangerous people in his time...
He listens as she potters around the bedroom, he hears her sit on the bed, plug in and turn on the hair dryer. This is his chance! The chance he's been waiting for. He moves back to the doorway, looking down the hall; the bedroom door is still ajar. He moves to look through the crack; she has her back to the door. His heart pounding in his chest, the chance before him so inviting...he takes it.
He pushes the door open, walks in, standing near to the bed, just watching her the dryer blows through her hair. Suddenly she stops, her ears perk up as she turns around. Her eyes fixated on the intruder, she screams and throws the dryer at him, he catches it and turns it off. Throwing it onto the bed, he smiles at her "Kaliin!" She jumps up, her back to the wall "How, how do you...know my name?" "I have been vatching you for qvite some time." She glances towards the hallways behind him, seeing she cannot make it, she looks towards the bathroom. "Please, do not run my dear." She doesn't wait for him to finish, bolting for the bathroom and slamming the door tight, looking around for something to wedge against it.
He sighs to himself, moves to the bathroom door and places his hands on the wooden frame. "Please Kaliin, open ze door. I promise, I vill not hurt you." From inside, she screams "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" He has imagined this first meeting many times, and has considered every option. He wished this had gone a little better. "Do not make me force my vay in! Open ze door!"
"Take what you want, just leave me alone! Please!!" Lucious can hear her putting things up against the door, though what she has in there wont stop him, if he chose to force his way into the room. "Kaliin, please step avay from ze door." He places his hands onto the door itself. Pushing hard, it starts to creak. She screams, rushing to the other side of the bathroom, trying to force the window open and call out for help.
He hears her call out, which he cannot allow. Forcing the door open, it falls off its hinges, falling to the ground. With a stern look on his face, Lucious moves up behind her as she tries to scramble out the window. He grabs her hips, she screams as he pulls her back and covers her mouth, holding her tight. With his free hand he closes the window. Then drags her kicking and squirming into the bedroom.
He gets her to the bed, getting into it with her and holding her down. "Kaliin!!! Stop it! I am not going to hurt you!" She doesn't stop struggling, so he kneels over her with one knee on her back and pushing her down. He reaches under her, pushing his hand into her robe, cupping her breast and squeezing it. She moans, crying and shaking "Pl-please...don't hurt me!" He sighs, leaning down a little "I von't hurt you...I promise!"
Unable to see him, Kaliin wipes her eyes "Wh-what do you...want? Are...you going to...rape me?" To show she can trust him, Lucious removes his knee from her back and turns her over. "No, I am not. As for vhat I vant...ze answer is...you." She looks at him, confused and still shaking with fear, "Me? I...don't understand. Who are you?" He smiles, showing his fangs to her, she cringes away from his outstretched hand as it approaches her face, "Wh-what are you?" He pulls his hand back as to not scare her anymore, "My name, is Lucious...I am a Vampire, and I have come to take you avay vith me!"
Kaliin starts to struggle again, flailing her arms and legs, trying to knock the Vampire from on top of her. He grips her wrists pushing her arms down to the bed. Hissing, he orders her to stop struggling. He leans in, face to face "I know you Kaliin. I have vatched you for a long time. You try to help others, only to have your own life mean nothing. You are a prisoner...I am here to set you free." Kaliin seems calmer with his words and tone, "H-how, do you know so much about me?" Smiling, Lucious leans in closer, aiming to kiss the beautiful Porcine female beneath him...she does not resist. Their lips meet, gently at first, but soon more forcefully as Kaliin pushes back at Lucious, kissing harder.
"Not scared of me anymore, my dearest?" Kaliin leans back to the bed, knowing she couldn't resist even if she wanted to...but she doesn't, not now. Has this 'Lucious' really come to save her? Could he be what she has been waiting for? What he said was true, her life wasn't what she wanted, she wanted more from it, to be more than she was, to do more than she could. "I-I don't know...L-Lucious." She tries to force a smile, although it is long in coming, "W-why me?" Letting go of the Porcines wrists, Lucious sits back on his legs, eyeing her body through the robe she still wears. "From ze first moment I saw you, I knew I must have you. Your kind heart, your strength; even against ze odds in your path, you don't let anything stop you." He reaches down, cupping her chin, "I need you Kaliin...I need you my sveet, beautiful creature!"
She is at a loss for words; Never has anyone ever spoken to her like this. Never has she ever met anyone who wanted her so much, to have her so much, to want to love her so much. She opens her mouth to talk, Lucious puts a finger over her lips to stop her, "Shhh...do not speak..." He smiles at her, with a face of sadness, "...If you vish me to leave, I vill, and I shall never appear again." He leans down, stroking her cheek, "...Please do not ask me to leave..."
She lay there, silent and motionless, looking up into Lucious' face. He knew from the look that she was not going to ask him to go. Without words, he reaches down and slowly unties the belt of her robe. Slipping his hands inside and holding at her waist, the robe falling to the side, revealing her chest and stomach to him. Her black skin glistening in the moonlight, "You are so beautiful..."
Lucious holds around the sides of Kaliins chest, pulling her up to him, allowing the robe to slip from her arms. He takes her into his embrace, forcing his lips onto hers with his hands stroking over her back. His claws scritch over her firm skin, stimulating her. "I-I..." Lucious stops her from speaking with a kiss. "No vords...let your body do ze talking." She shivers at his words, never having heard them before, her own hands now gripping at Lucious' body and copying his movements, scritching at his back with her nails.
"Ahhhh..." he moans out, grabbing her arms and lowering her back to the bed. She looks down, seeing he is already aroused and ready. Looking back up into his face, she nods. He lay down beside her, his hand pushing under her robe at her waist, lifting it up and out of the way. She shudders, nervous at being seen like this. Looking down, he places his hand on her groin, feeling the hairs and pushing a finger down and between her lips, over her sensitive nub. Gasping, her hand quickly moves down, gripping at his and trying to stop him from being too rough. He doesn't resist her 'help' as she uses his hand as a toy. Looking into her eyes his hand moves down further, a finger pressing against her opening before pushing inside. Shuddering as the sudden invasion, her legs tighten around his hand. "It is alright my sveet, open your legs."
"I-I'm afraid!" Lucious leans in, kissing her cheek, "I know you are my lady." His finger plays with her opening as the palm of his hand presses to her groin, "Trust me Kaliin...let me in...Please my sveet." Her legs slowly begin to relax and open up for him, his hand moving further down as he pushes even deeper into her, adding a second finger. She shivers, "I, feel so...strange." Curbing his desires to simply take this beautiful Porcine female, Lucious takes his time, letting her know that he can be trusted, that he really does want her...that he will never hurt her.
Lucious starts to pull his fingers out, Kaliin quickly stops him, nervous of what was to come, "N-not yet...I-I'm not ready...yet." Lucious nods and keeps his fingers where they are, moving them slowly around inside her. He leans in, pressing their lips together once more. She opens her mouth, which Lucious was not expecting, however takes full advantage as her tongue comes out to meet his. Intertwining and tasting each other, Lucious can barely hold himself together, with how she is making him feel.
With him planted on her face, Kaliin pulls the Vampires hand out from her groin and practically pulls him on top of her. He doesn't complain as she takes hold of his shaft and starts to stroke it. He gasps with how sensitive he is, how eager she seems now, as opposed to how scared she seemed not too long ago. Leaning up, he rests forwards on his hands, letting her feel him, and how much he desired her. He looks down, his wings casting a shadow but he can clearly see her hands working over him, causing him to dribble a little onto her belly.
Lucious looks into Kaliins' eyes, "Kaliin...vill you be my mate?" The Porcine stops stroking, a nervous look on her face, "I-I'm ready...yes...oh yes, I will!" Lucious can hear the nerves in her voice, but knows that will not last for long. Shuffling down the bed, out of her grip, he moves between her legs. Watching him, she opens her legs wide, ready and willing to take him inside her. Lucious kisses her belly, looking up at her face, she nods.
The Vampire pushes himself up and inside the Porcine, all the way in a quick thrust. She gasps, gripping the bedding and grimacing her face with the sudden intrusion into her body. Lucious leans down, gripping at the side of Kaliins chest as he vigorously makes love to her. His mouth finds her breast, licking and suckling at her nipple, biting it and nibbling like a newborn. Her legs spread wider for him, wrapping around his body as she almost pulls him in deeper.
Moaning at his sheer thickness and length inside her, Kaliins grip on the bedding gets tighter as her excitement builds. Lucious moves up, pushing his lips to hers, breathing into each others mouths as the coupling continues, each thrust more passionate than the last.
It is getting close to the time...Lucious breaks lip contact, whispering into Kaliins' ear "Show me your beautiful neck, be my mate forever!" Nervous about this moment from the start, Kaliin is a little reluctant, slowly turning her head to look into his eyes, "W-will it hurt?" Lucious leans in, licking and kissing her sweet neck "Only for a moment my sveet, only for a moment..."
Not entirely convinced, even with his words, Kaliin braces herself as best she can. Lucious takes her wrists into his hands, knowing she will struggle. "Wh-what are you d-." He doesn't answer as his fangs lengthen, plunging into her neck. Crying out in pain, Kaliin struggles against the Vampires grip, but in vain, as he is too strong. He holds onto her tightly as her legs kick at him, her arms trying to get free.
Still thrusting into her body, Lucious drinks from his beloved Porcine, tasting the sweet juices and giving her his fluids at the same time; the gift of becoming a Vampire, becoming his mate for all eternity.
A few moments of pain pass and Kaliin starts to settle into the Vampiric grip on her neck, sucking at her blood and thrusting into her body between her legs. Her legs fall to the bed, her arms go soft as her strength leaves her under his power. He must drink enough of her own blood, but not too much so that she dies. Pumping his Vampiric fluids into her neck, Lucious is turned on even more by this sexual act and dominant power over her.
Suddenly, his grip on her neck and wrists tighten, as his shaft throbs and shoots his seed into her body, over and over with each impassioned thrust of lust and desire. She can feel the coldness between her legs, making her shiver and tense up. Lucious stops drinking from Kaliins' neck, not letting go just yet as he wants to feel her accept his seed by orgasm before he does, taking it deeper into her body.
It isn't long before he gets his wish, the combined force of his thrusts, his fangs in her neck and her own lusts for him taking her over the edge. She cries out his name, begging him to stop as her orgasm hits. He ignores her pleas, continuing to give her everything he has.
Her pleas to stop, soon turn to begging's for more as she feels his Vampiric juices flowing through her veins, burning as they start to change her. "It hurts Lucious! It hurts!" Letting go of her wrists, Lucious grips around her back, holding her tightly, his grip on her neck not letting up at all. She doesn't try to get free; she lay there, letting him do what he must.
Her orgasm is a long and powerful one, only just starting to fade. He feels her body relax and shudder from the intensity. This is his cue to let go, pulling his fangs from her neck, the wounds bleeding profusely. He quickly gets her robe, holding it flat against her neck, "The bleeding vill stop soon." Panting in both pain and utter pleasure, she looks up at her new mate "I-It's burning me inside...make it...stop!"
"I cannot...I have given you ze gift of becoming a Vampire...To become my mate, for all time." Licking his fangs, which slowly reduce in size, Lucious checks under the robe to see the bleeding has stopped. "You see my sveet Kaliin? The bleeding has stopped, you are healing already. Vonderful!" She reaches and feels at her neck, sure enough the wounds had already closed.
The pain from her body almost gone, she looks up into his eyes, "I-I love you Lucious. I don't understand...why...but I love you so much!" Lucious leans down, pressing his lips to hers, giving her a taste of her own blood. Her body still weakened from the changing, she can barely move. Lucious still inside her, "I love you my sveet lady, vith all of my heart and soul!"
Slowly he pulls out of her, she watches as he stands beside the bed, her eyes never leaving his groin, her lusts still at a peak. "For now however, ve must leave this place. I must take you to my home." He looks out of the window, "Ze sun shall be rising in a few hours. Just enough time..."
He goes to her wardrobe, picking out another bath robe for her. Going back to the bed, he helps her up and get dressed. "Do not vorry, I have plenty of things for your beautiful body to vear." He was not finished however, there was one last thing that needed to be done before they could leave.
"Your life here is over my sveet. No one must come looking for you. You must appear to be dead to everyone, even your family." She loved some in her family, but this was too important to her now, far more than anything she will be leaving behind. Of course, she had plenty of time to visit them if she wanted to, for now she had to disappear.
Lucious told Kaliin to go stand by the window as he searched her bedside table. Finding some cigarettes and a lighter, he has an idea. "No one vill question a fire from a carelessly left cigarette." Looking around at what was her life, Kaliin gives Lucious a nod to proceed. He lights a cigarette, dropping it onto the bed, which soon catches fire.
Rushing over to her at the window, he opens it and looks out. The street is clear of people and traffic. He takes Kaliin, still weak, in his arms and climbs out onto the fire escape. Looking back, the room is already starting to burn out of control. Before anyone can notice the fire, Lucious leaps into the night sky, his beloved in his arms. They sweep through the air towards Lucious' home, many miles away. The wind blowing through her fiery red hair as they embrace each other mid-flight.
As they fly over the city, they can hear the sounds of distant sirens; someone has noticed the fire. To keep out of sight, Lucious lands on a distant building, allowing Kaliin to rest also. He lays her down, then looks over the side of the roof back at the now ablaze building. Fire trucks are at the ground floor, trying to put the fire out, with fire fighters evacuating the building.
None of this matters to him now, he has the one he has sought for so very long. He turns and kneels beside her, she is still very weak from the changing. "It vill not be long my dear, I have to get you home to rest and feed." He takes her up into his arms, and once more takes flight over the city and towards home.
***
They arrive at Lucious' home just before dawn, going inside and closing the world out. He takes her to a room he has had prepared for as long as he has been watching her. Laying her down on the bed, "I shall bring you something to drink." He leaves, going off to his larder to fetch her some fresh blood.
Upon his return, he finds Kaliin sitting up, naked and smiling. The 'change' is complete; from under her arms and down her sides, wings have grown. She opens her mouth to show fangs descend, hissing in delight. Lucious is overwhelmed with joy at seeing his mate fully turned, and the life they now have together.
He pours the blood into two glasses, handing her one and sitting beside her on the bed as they toast and drink together. Sipping the blood, Kaliins face lights up as she revels in the taste and feeling the blood brings. "I had never thought, blood could taste this way. It even made me ill to see so much of it." She turns to Lucious, placing a hand on his groin, "Thank you for saving me, Lucious. I love you so much!" Lucious places his hand on hers, smiling back at her, "No my dear, it is you who have saved me. I have been searching for you for so long. To finally have you beside me, vith me, is beyond anything I had ever dreamed."
Looking into each others eyes, words are not needed now, they both want this, they both needed this and now they both have this. Nothing will ever tear them apart, for now they stand as one, two lost souls united at last.
Their drinks finished, the glasses are tossed aside as they leap onto each other. They have a long day ahead of them, and much energy to burn. The room lit only by faint candle light, they can still see each other clearly. Sight is not required, as they feel each other with their bodies, sense each other by smell, and taste each other with their lips, tongue and fangs.
This time, there are no words, there is no fear...there is only love, passion and an eternity to enjoy it. Together...at last.
