Here is Part II---Please take the time to read Part I before venturing on, so that the story will make sense.
The sun set and Henry hurriedly completed his nighttime ritual before heading out the door to find Vicki. He didn’t want to take the time to feed, so he made up his mind to persuade one of the gas attendants to make a donation on his way out of town. After a couple of hours driving, Henry finally spotted the Banff National Park sign. It indicated that he had another 17 miles until he reached the cabins on Storm Mountain. Once he got close, he rolled down the windows and began to sniff the air trying to pick up on Vicki’s scent. If she was indeed here, he would find her. It didn’t take long before he located the exact thing that he was looking for. Vicki’s cabin was tucked away in an alcove by the lake. It was on the far end of the grounds and seemed to afford the most privacy. Henry was comforted by this fact for two reasons. The first being that once he made his presence known a fight most currently would ensue and the second privacy would be needed to keep him secure during the day. After parking the car out of sight, Henry made his way up the winding path to the cottage. He could hear her heart beat and briefly peered into the windows to see her sitting on the couch reading some sort of book or magazine. With trepidation, he made his way to the back porch and stood in the open door. Taking a measured breath, he composed himself momentarily before speaking.
“Vicki”
Upon hearing his voice, she instantly froze in place. Her stomach was doing somersaults and blood immediately began to race. She knew that he would pick up on the changes in her body, alerting him to the fact that she was both excited and surprised to see him.
“Henry what are you doing here?”
“I came to see you. Can I come in?”
“Umm, well I guess so.”
“I know that you must be surprised to see me, but I was worried about you after reading your note.”
“Well you shouldn’t be. As you can see I am fine.”
“Why did you leave like that?”
“I told you. I needed some time by myself.”
“If you wanted to get away, then I would have been happy to take you anywhere that you liked. All you would have had to do is simply ask.”
“Henry what part of alone do you not understand. I didn’t want to spend time with you. You are part of the reason that I…..”
“That you what Vicki.”
“Nothing, never mind. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“No. I won’t forget about it. What did I do to make you want to leave?”
“Henry let it go. Can we just change the subject?”
“Not until you tell me what is going on with you. It’s not like you to just up and take off like that.”
“I told you that I have a lot on my mind.”
“OK, well do you care to elaborate on what exactly that is supposed to mean. Maybe I can help.”
“Henry thanks but no thanks. I can do without a shrink.”
“Vic sometimes you do act a little crazy, but I don’t think that you need a shrink. I was offering to talk as a friend.”
“It’s complicated”
“Problems usually are, but two heads are better than one so spill it.”
“I just can’t talk about this with you.”
“Why not?”
“Just BECAUSE” Vicki was starting to get slightly irate. Her mind was telling her who does he think that he is marching in here and expecting her to spill her guts to him? He is part of the problem, can’t he see that.
“Victoria I know that you do not like to discuss your emotions, but something is seriously wrong and you need to get it off of your chest before it eats you alive.”
Henry contemplated his next words for a moment before proceeding.
“Does this have anything to do with Christina and what happened? Because if so, I must say how truly sorry that I am for this whole mess. I should have trusted you and not let my judgment get fogged.”
“Ya think????”
“My judgment was clouded by my…”
“No shit it was clouded Henry. I tried to tell you that she was jerking your chain, but would you listen. NO, not the mighty Prince. Your blind obsession with that devil almost got me killed and let’s not forget about the poor victims that she did in fact leave her mark on.”
“I know and I’m sorry, but we won’t have to worry about her again. I made it perfectly clear what would happen if she strayed in my territory again.”
“Please what did you give her a friendly tap on the wrist? She should have been treated with the same justice that was given to Alexander, death. A tiger doesn’t change their spots Henry. How long do you really think it is going to be before she comes up with some other sick game to play and get you all hot and bothered to do her dirty work?”
“It’s not like that; I told her that she was the past. She knows that I am serious this time.”
“This time. You are unbelievable Henry.”
“What?”
Shaking her head, Vicki turned on her heels and headed for the door
“Where are you going?”
“To get the hell away from you.”
Henry intercepted her before she reached the door and grabbed her arm.
“Get your paws off of me.”
“No, not until we finish talking about this. I don’t understand why you are so angry at me. Yes, I made some bad decisions concerning Christina, but I can’t help but believe that this is about something more.”
“Give the man a gold star.”
“Do you care to elaborate?”
“What is so special about her that keeps you running back for more?”
“Vicki, I don’t know how to explain it. Sometimes love just sweeps you off your feet. It was like that with her. She made me feel alive and wanted. No one had ever loved me just for me they always were after something more. It felt good to be loved simply for yourself.”
“In theory that sounds great Henry, but the reality is that she never loved you. She used you for her own gain. That woman is manipulative, calculating, and has a heart of ice. She is incapable of loving anyone but herself.”
At this declaration, Henry became very defensive. “What do you know about it? Have you ever let yourself go to just fully love someone? Let all of the walls fall down and become vulnerable to another person.”
Vicki just glared at him wishing that she had something hard to throw in her hands.
“This isn’t about me Henry. How funkin’ dare you judge me?”
“That’s right. Judging is your department and since we are talking about playing games what about the ones that you play?”
“I don’t play games. What you see is what you get?”
“Bullshit. You are a pro at toying with others feelings. You lead Mike around by the nose just like a lost puppy dog and then you come to me with elusive promises of reciprocating my feelings by giving me scraps off your table. However you have no intention of ever letting either one of us in. Do you?”
“Where did that come from?”
“What you can’t take the tables being turned and the spot light shining on your own flaws?”
“That’s it. I have had it. Leave NOW!!!!”
Vicki tried to retreat back into the house when Henry grabbed her and forcefully pushed her against the wall. Staring at each other in a deadlock gaze with neither party willing to relent, Henry finally took the lead and crashed his lips into hers. The pent up passion was roaring under the surface begging to be released. He forced his tongue into her mouth and pressed his body firmly against her so that she had no means of escape. Vicki’s anger slowly faded and she began to return his advances with a lust all her own. Her mind kept screaming that she needed to stop, but her body continued to plunge forward into his advances. Finally, she was able to get her hands free to push his jacket off of his shoulders and then began to fumble with the buttons of his shirt. Frustration took over and she ripped the garment the remaining way off. Henry had already busied himself with the playful ministrations of stroking her breasts and unsnapping her bra. Vicki let out a breathless plea, “Henry we should stop.” His only response in return was “No, not this time. I have let you run from me, from us, for far too long. It ends tonight.” With that, he began to work on the zipper of her jeans, pushing them down to her ankles while slipping a hand into her lace panties to finger the hardened nub that beckoned him. Instantly her hips bucked forward, seeking out more of his attentions. The sensations that he was creating had her nerve endings on fire. He could feel and smell her wet juices as they dripped down upon his fingers, slowly he eased one finger then two into her while his thumb continued to play with her clit. This had her panting and moaning for more. She could feel her release building inside her womb, begging to be set free. Henry leaned into her ear and began to slowly kiss and lick the lobe, pulling her further into the erotic current that he was creating. When she had almost reached her peak, he slowed his ministrations and whispered into her ear “Tell me what you want.” Vicki could barely formulate a response. Her mind was in a haze of passion. However, when his hands slowed to the point of stopping, she finally muttered a response. “I want you to take me, all of me please.” That was all that Henry needed to hear as he swiftly discarded the remainder of his clothes and then lifted her further up the wall before impaling her on his rock hard shaft. It had been a long time since Vicki had been breached by a lover and at first his aggressive act was painful, but as he slowly began to trust, the pain was replaced by absolute pleasure. Henry could sense her discomfort and slowed his pace so that she could get used to his swelling manhood. However, she quickly began to encourage him to move faster and harder which he happily obliged. The feeling of finally being inside her silkened walls was exquisite. Although he was very experienced from his many years of practice, Henry couldn’t remember ever having such a euphoric feeling in the arms of a lover. As they both climbed higher towards their goal, Henry allowed his eyes to fade to black and his fangs to elongate. He looked into her beautiful hazel green eyes once more before she pulled him towards her breast. “Drink my love, drink.” At first her words did not register in his head. He was too wrapped up into the wondrous passion filled dance to be aware of anything other than how incredibly good she felt, as well as, the pounding of her blood just under the surface of her skin. As he drank in her essence, it warmed his heart the emotions that he pulled from her welcoming body. How had she been able to close herself off from this passion for so long? Just as an approaching storm, thunders and washes over all in it’s path, so did their combined orgasms, creating a perfect moment of unity. Once there breathing had slowed and the trembling within each of the bodies ceased, Henry gently allowed Vicki to slide down to where her feet touched the ground. With a groan, he dislodged himself from her warm body. Forehead to Forehead, Henry was finally able to let the weight of her words earlier hit him. He responded in kind by saying “You know that I love you too.” Vicki froze, excited by his words but also terrified of their implications.
“But I never….”
“Vicki don’t deny your feelings any longer. You called me love. It has to mean something.”
“It does, but I didn’t mean to say it. It just slipped out.”
“Well that happens when you are experiencing a perfect moment.”
“So do you really…”
“Love you. Yes I do and I have for sometime.”
“What about Christina?”
“I am going to tell you the same thing that I told her, she is my past and you are my future.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really. Don’t you know by now? I would lay down my life for you Victoria. If Christina had harmed you in any way, I would have been unable to move forward. I promise that I will never allow her to twist and warp my feelings again. It is you that I live for now.”
“So where do we go from here?”
“Well that is entirely up to you Ms. Nelson. All that I ask is that your future holds a place for me in it.”
“I think that can be arranged.”
“Good, now can you do something for me?”
“Already, man talk about fast recovery. I think that I am going to like being involved with a vampire.”
“As tempting as that thought is, it’s not exactly what I had in mind.”
“OK so what do you have in mind?”
“I need for you to help me secure this place for my daytime needs. Would you please provide your assistance? Sunrise is fast approaching and I don’t want to be caught off guard.”
“Hey, I’m not going to let you break up with me that easily.”
“I can promise you Victoria, breaking up with you is the last thing that I ever plan to do. Come on, let’s get these black out shades up so that we can enjoy some more one on one time.”
As Vicki lay beside the sleeping vampire, she replayed their night of passion in her mind. This trip had not turned out the way that she had originally planned, but she would be the last to complain about her new circumstances. Life was good and with Henry by her side, she knew that it would only get better.
