My far-away thoughts have allowed Keith a substantial lead on me. While I know that the compulsion will prevent him from leaving the location I gave him, he would begin to look odd just standing about alone.
After a single step forward my body goes rigid. My skin pebbles, and my mouth waters. Even my ancient dick stands at attention. Although once my fangs descend of their own volition, my sudden turn-on leads to pure irritation. I am a creature of power and influence. I am not a monster to be controlled.
And yet...
The wind blows again, and the scent nearly drags me to the ground in submission.
I glance around frantically but am unable to find the source. Whoever she is, she is bound to bring me nothing but trouble. Trouble I don’t need or want.
Maybe leaving tomorrow evening would be the best idea. It has been some time since I allowed myself to travel. Perhaps this is a sign.
A sign for what, though?
After a few calming breaths and an imaginary vision of Keith chasing me around with his wrinkled STD-infested cock, my own becomes flaccid again.
I’m not sure what that was, or rather who, but I am far from interested in finding out. I have a meal to enjoy and a party to get to.
Stomping my way to Keith, I don’t miss the fact that my steps are a bit shaky. Almost as if my body is physically revolting at the idea of leaving behind... whoever that was. But I am not interested in anyone who can call upon that deepest carnal version of myself. I will never give myself to anyone like that again.
Without ceremony, I snatch Keith up by the neck, allowing his legs to dangle a few feet from the ground and rush him into the thicket of the woods. Taking my first bite, and a few deep pulls of his blood, I find myself on steadier legs. I release him and lick the wounds. Instructing him to stop sobbing and remain silent, before I drag us even further into the woods and on the edge of the swampy lake.
My teeth sink into his flesh once more and take deep drags from his body. After mere seconds, I hear his heartbeat slowing to a dull thud. When his heart is close to stopping, I pull away and lick the wound sealed. Even without me drinking his blood, Keith will be dead in minutes. But I refuse to take that last sip. I’ve made that mistake before and will not purposefully endure the agony of pulling their essence into myself and spitting it out. No, Keith can leave his body all on his own.
Picking up his body by the neck again, I thrust outward and release. Watching with a morbid fascination as he launches into the air and just as quickly drops into the murky shallow water with a splash.
There. Now all that is left to do is put on my party suit and enjoy the festivities of the night.
I have the distinct feeling that tonight will be the perfect send-off.
Maybe we should have gone with a ‘Birthday and Bon Voyage’ theme instead of my annual masquerade birthday affair.
Too late to change things now. Besides, it’s simply a party. It won’t change what comes after.
I hear France is lovely this time of year.
Here Lies Teddy
Ginger
My steps are determined as I weave through the growing crowd of the carnival.
Alexander Maximillian, where the fuck are you at?
Lexi still won’t tell me what is going on. Nothing more than explaining I have to see certain things with my own eyes to fully understand.
I get it. Especially after our fight. Lexi doesn’t want me to think she is just trying to make things up to put a wedge between Teddy and me. I just wish she understood that my boyfriend, no matter who they are, will never replace my bond with her. Unlike the majority of para families, I am an only child. Oddly enough, so is Lexi. That’s why we’ve clung so tightly to each other.
But if she truly is this worried and adamant that I have to see this, then I know it has to be bad.
We round the corner by the food trucks and the feeling of fingers tracing up my spine has me shuttering to a stop. The wind changes from a soft cool wisp across my skin to a caressing touch that nearly makes me moan. Then the smell hits me. It’s nearly orgasmic. Lexi gives me a questioning glance when I continue to stand in place. A few shifters stop and sniff the air before turning their salacious glances at me, leaving no doubt that they can smell my arousal.
Oops.
I shake my head and take a step forward, seemingly breaking whatever kind of spell that was. Someone, or something, clearly called to me.
Not that I have the time or the drive to discover just what that happens to be right now, I push away from the crowding shifters who think I want to get a little furry tonight and continue following Lexi around the food trucks and straight toward the backside of the ferris wheel. When she stops and crouches down, I follow suit.
Hitting the point where I almost ask her what is going on, she presses a finger to my lips and then uses the same finger to point in the direction of the people waiting in line to board the amusement ride to nowhere. When I follow her finger, my heart stops beating.
