How intoxicating was his icy touch upon her face as he came near her yet once again. The cold winds from the ocean whipped her hair around her face.
He needed her, and desperately wanted her close to him again. His fingers tenderly touched her neck as she stood there, she was unable to move. as she looed into his deep brown eyes, not wanting to.
His eyes took in her soul through his gaze. Hypnotic and enveloping. He took her with his fluid movement of his body. As he held her, he softly placed his hand against her cheek. She felt his icy coldness, but was not afraid of it. And she knew of his everlasting death and also knowing that it was a part of him. But it was the physical as well as the love bond that was between them.
Then, as now, they both sought each other and tonight, they were to once again be joined together.
Her breath was rapid in anticipation of what was to come. And her heart began to beat ever faster. They both felt the excitement and thrill of the forbidden act between human and vampire.
His hand cupped her breast as he kissed her waiting lips. Oh yes, she remembered it well. His lips traveled down from her ear to her neck with heated breath. He took a nip teasingly at the prominent vein in her neck. It had aroused his own excitement as hers. She moaned as he clutched her tighter, he was determined that they would never be seperated from each other again.
And he determined now, they would not be apart any longer, both knowing that they had to take the chance to once again to be together.
Once, many years ago, they had coupled and produced a male offspring, a dhampyr. He was the fine and handsome young son of Barnabas, a special and brilliant younger version of his father.
He was upstanding, handsome, intelligent and inquisitive-always wanting and needing to know everything. Barnabas was very proud to be able to present him to the most finest and nobelist of all the families throughout Europe.
He had ingratiated himself to the finest of societies. For they all enjoyed his wit and wisdom and the charm that he possessed, and that had been inherited from his parents. His knowledge of the world was from his sire and the wit from his dear mother.
He was always included in the chief invitations. But, alas, one fateful night as the debut of a rather comely daughter of the Earl of Suffolk, he collapsed. Shocked and concerned, Barnabas and Charlotte excused themselves from the company, as the servants came in and lifted Josiah into a waiting cabriolet.
Barnabas and Charlotte would bring thier son home for the final time. They were quite heartbroken by his death, and by the sudden onset of what would prove-ironically, the end of the Collins family bloodline.
Young Josiah at the tender age of 23, would succumb while under a physicians care. The good doctor was bewildered and could never fully understand why such a mild form of influenza would kill a person, and could only offer his condolences. Later, after many puzzled blood tests, it was found that he had leukemia.
Barnabas and Charlotte were distraught from the loss of thier son. And he was never able to forgive himself. He thought to himself, that if he had only paid heed to Josiah the day of the debut, of his feeling weak and not wanting to go to the debutante ball. "Father, must I go?" he had asked. Barnabas answered, "of course, we are expected, and you as always, will be charming and entertain the young ladies well", as he tenderly straightened out his sons collar with a smile.
These moments were now etched forever in his memory. And it would be the last of his happiest moments that he and Josiah would ever share together.
Because of this, he would leave Charlotte for years and remain in isolation. He so loved her, that he would not allow her to go through anymore pain because of him. He would never seek another mate afterwards because it was his self-protection from hurt and his love of Charlotte. It was the turmoil from within his heart, that he couldn't take.
He created a shell to protect himself from the human feelings and emotions. But then tonight, as he was hunting for his prey, he saw her again. She was standing by the shore. At first he was puzzled as why she was here, so far from where he had last seen her, and alone.
She didn't hear him as he approached. The crashing of the waves over the rocks, and violent winds whipping through the crags filled her ears.She was blinded by the tears that still filled her eyes each time she thought of him. Coming down here reminded her of him. Of the times that they would come down and walk by the rushing surf at night. And holding each other tightly.
He stepped closer to her. He leaned to her ear and spoke so very gently, in almost a whisper, "Charlotte, my dear Charlotte". She spun around at his words. She was shocked and surprised to see him again. They looked into each others eyes.
"Barnabas, oh my lord! Where-how-when?!" Barnabas placed his lips upon hers and quietly stilled her questions. They held each other tightly as she remembered years ago of thier love together.
They would have this night together, and both forgetting the limitations that thier kind of love can be, and never to be seperated again. They had once through his torment and guilt, but he would banish those emotions and never to again allow them to come between Charlotte and him ever again..................
He brought her hand once again to his lips and tenderly kissed her, causing each and every sensation to arise within her body. She could not restrain herself anymore.
For years she had not felt his touch and had become unknown of his desire and want of her.
She moved towards him, wanting and desiring to have have him within herself. She desperately needed him, to feel as a woman should always feel, needed, wanted and desired. So very desired. His breath become labored and short. He placed his lips to her neck, he teasing her with his nipping. He drew back to tell her with a strangled and raw voice, that he would have her at then and now, at this very moment. It was no longer her choice, but only his demands.
He could not wait another minute for her. He tore her dress aside, the buttons flew, revealing only her supple body under him.
She shuddered from the coldness that surrounded her. She reached for him. He with much impatience that was of his nature, tore his own clothing off so that only his cloak would cover them from the elements of nature.
Even though the winds chill whipped through thier bodies, it only made the moment more thrilling! Her nipples were hard from the excitement and coldnesss from the rawness from the sea air, and the dampness that surrounded them.
His mouth had covered her breasts with his tongue as he drew in each nipple, causing the excitement once again to rise within her womanhood. His fingers explored her without bounds, to cause her to only gasp again at each touch. She felt the anticipation of what she knew what was to come!
He could not wait any longer and entered her. She suddenly felt the pain and hurt from his entrance and the brute force that would make her scream for more of him, she wanting and needing more! Her back arched to recieve even more of him as he repeated his thrusts. Her rythmic motions becoming one with his until finally, they both exploded as their bodies sexual juices flowed to recieve each other.
He grabbed her forcefully at the moment of his release into her, causing her extreme pain as he snapped his fangs into her breast before he had realized what he had done. And she screamed out in her ectasy and agony......
She realized as her eyes became unclouded, just what had happened, and to be grateful that she would once again, to be forever with him.
It had been his instinct that had overcome his own will. Upon his orgasmic release, his mind had gone to a complete and total blinding numbness, blocking him of all human thoughts and emotions and returning him to a primative state of mind that only a being of his kind would know, which was survival and continuation of his species, and it would again be done, he would once again have his son.....he knew this as his lifes essense was recieved into Charlotte......
They would fill the void that had been left so very empty by the death of Josiah, but this time, it would be much different...............
The End.......................................
