Dating Two Dragons

by Sky Winters

  “He would be more ashamed of you,” said Adrian with a cold look on his face.

  Cindy could barely hear and see what was going on, in her pitiful state. Adrian came around her, and picked her up gently in his strong muscular arms that were bathed in cold blood. Everybody moved aside to give him way, as he walked right through the crowd.

  Adrian could sense everybody hissing behind his back as he walked. He turned around, eyes red, and fangs out. “Do we have a problem?” he inquired. But there was no response. It was pin-drop silence in the hall. “Do we have a problem?” he inquired once again, but this time he was louder.

  “I guess not,” he turned around once again and walked toward the exit. The door was jammed. He kicked the giant door so hard that it cracked into myriads of tiny pieces. But before he could exit, a familiar voice came from behind.

  “Adrian,” said Ms. Biel.

  He turned his face a little to listen to what she had to say.

  “Don’t come back,” said Ms. Biel with a cold look on her face.

  Adrian walked down the staircase with Cindy cradled in his arms. “I wanna go home,” said Cindy unconsciously. He ran toward his Porsche at lightning fast speed, which was just parked right outside the building.

  He reached for a clicker in the inside pocket of his coat and unlocked the car. Then he opened the back seat door and slipped Cindy right into it. He took his seat behind the wheel, and started thinking what to do with her. First he thought that it would be best to drop her at her home, but on second thought, he realized that every bloodthirsty vampire in the neighborhood was looking for an opportunity to tear her into shreds, so taking her to his secret mansion in the Hamptons was the best thing to do.

  He started the Porsche and drove her all the way to Montauk. As the gates opened to his mansion he breathed a sigh of relief, he was sure they had not been followed. He picked her up and took her straight into his bedroom, furnished with an ornate bed surrounded by tapestries. She was still unconscious. He had to wait for her to get up, so that they could talk about what had just happened. Adrian knew that he had gone too far, but for Cindy it felt oddly necessary. He felt a strange draw to her unlike any other human woman. He could see her life had been difficult and he wanted to protect her.

  Adrian was popular, for being the most cold and ruthless vampire in New York. But even he himself couldn’t have thought a girl like Cindy, could plant a seed of conscience in him.

  Adrian sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at Cindy for hours. Cindy had been out for a long time now, which was making him anxious. The biggest problem was that, if the girl is conscious again, how would he be able to make sense to her, of what just happened in Ms. Biel apartment. What would he tell her about his identity? If he lied to her, then their queer relationship would be established on untruthfulness. But if he told her the truth, she might lose her cool, or make him swear never to see her again.

  Cindy’s hand moved. Adrian’s thinking-time was over. He had to do something he had never done before; tell a human woman the truth.

  Chapter 7: The Truth

  “Where am I?” Cindy recoiled the moment she opened her eyes, “who are you?” she inquired in an anxious tone. “Please don’t hurt me,” she insisted. She covered herself with a blanket.

  “Hey… sssshhhh… relax. I’m not going to hurt you at all,” he answered. He picked up a glass of water and extended it to her.

  Cindy shook her head, and slowly started remembering just who Adrian was. She took the glass of water out of a mixture of fear and appreciation.

  “Look, I know that I’ve no right to bring you here without permission, but I had to.”

  “Why?”

  “Because there’s something that you should know,”

  “Know what?”

  “I know that all this would seem a bit weird to you and I could understand that, but you need to calm down so that I could tell you everything,”

  Cindy’s hands were shaking like a dry leaf. So was the glass she was carrying. “I’m a vampire,” said Adrian, as charmingly as he could.

  The glass in Cindy’s hand fell into her lap.

  “What?” she asked astonishingly.

  “I’m a vampire,” he repeated, “and the party in which we were was a party of elite vampires across the globe.”

  “This can’t be real. I must be dreaming.”

  “Okay then,” Adrian raised his wrist in front of her. His shiny white fangs clicked down, and he sunk them right into his own skin, leaving two massive holes that were bleeding cold blood.

  Cindy’s eyes widened, but this time she experienced no fear.

  “Look,” he emphasized.

  The blood sank right back in his wound and it healed immediately.

  “Pretty damn cool, right?” he chuckled.

  “What do you want from me?” she whispered.

  “Your hand,” he replied, with a sweet smile on his face, “could you give me that?”

  The memories of his protection were coming back to her and filled her with feeling of calmness, and confidence. “You know what they say about vampires?”

  “Well, I’m excited to know that,” he got up and walked right towards a glass shelf that had the best scotch in the world.

  “They say that you’re the dead,” Adrian started to laugh.

  “It’s not funny,” she said.

  “Well, to me it is, because if I’m dead, then how am I talking to you? That doesn’t make sense,”

  “You’re supposed to be dead, but you’re not, and that makes you the undead. You neither belong among the living, nor the dead.”

  “I’m impressed. Do you research on vampires often?”

  “Not exactly, I read what I get my hands on for paranormal theatre. I always thought that vampires are interesting and I wished them to be real. I didn’t know that one day, I’d be abducted by one.”

  “So do you feel afraid?”

  “No, I’m not, not anymore, which is surprising. I should probably get my head examined.”

  “No, you’re perfect, just the way you are,” he poured his favorite bottle of scotch in two small glasses. He gave one to Cindy, and held his glass high.

  “I don’t drink.”

  “Neither do I, but it’s a special occasion and I’m sure that you could make an exception, knowing that you’re with a vampire. What do you say girl?”

  “Well, I guess I could try it. For once.” She raised her glass.

  “Cheers,” he said in a vibrant manner.

  “Cheers,” she said, and drank the glass, letting the amber colored liquor fill her senses.

  “I don’t believe this is happening to me. You can’t be a vampire at all,”

  “Cindy,” Adrian said hesitantly, “you know things that you’re not supposed to know, and it’s going to cost us both dearly. We can’t just imbalance the world like this. We both belong to a different species. I don’t think we could co-exist,” his voice was low and shaky, as if he was losing himself.

  “Cindy, perhaps its best if I erase your memory and will you to move to another place.”

  “But, Adrian don’t you feel this connection between us? I don’t want to lose that”

  “I’m sorry Cindy, I have to erase your memory,” he sounded sad and helpless, “now look at me.”

  His deep blue eyes started turning dark. Cindy grabbed his face with her hands and pulled him against her face. She kissed him on the lips. Adrian’s blood-red eyes turned blue again. He threw his arms around her and kissed her back with a raw impulse running through his body. It was Cindy’s first kiss. His lips were soft and delicate, but cold as ice. She grabbed him from the back of his hair and pulled it. His cold hands were exploring her warm back which was melting away with his touch.

  He pushed her down, on to the bed and removed his jacket. Cindy was under his spell at the moment. He was so handsome. She wanted him to be her first and last. So she didn’t even think twice. But the reason why she wanted things to
go fast was simple; she didn’t want to lose him. She knew that if she lost her memory, she would lost him for sure.

  Adrian kissed her on the neck, as slowly as he could. He let his hands examine her body. Then he kissed her breasts.

  “I can’t do this,” he got up and turned around.

  “Do what?” she inquired.

  “I can’t just influence you like that.”

  “Then don’t.” she replied. “I need you Adrian, this feels right,”

  Adrian closed his eyes and turned back to face her. “I love you Cindy, but my love has a price.”

  “What price?”

  “I’d have to convert you.” he replied.

  Chapter 8: Letting Go

  Cindy eyed him this time. Her look was intense and fearless. “Then do it. Do whatever you can to make me yours,” she pounced on him, and grabbed him from the neck.

  “Do you even know what you’re asking for?” his eyes darkened once again, his lips dried, and his white fangs slowly slipped down his mouth.

  “I know what I’m asking for. My life is miserable already. I’ve lost my parents. I don’t wanna lose you now,” she cried.

  “Listen! You won’t lose me alright?” his dark face was fair once again, in a matter of seconds. “Let me erase your horrible and bitter memories away. I can see a lot of pain in your eyes, about your family. I know that your foster parents didn’t treat you well, and that’s the very reason you’re here.” Cindy was fully engaged in his persuasive rhetoric. His eyes were drawing a bridge between her eyes. It seemed as though Adrian was sucking information out of her.

  “I know that you’re here to become a big star. You want to fulfill your dreams, so that you could escape the pain you’ve been through. Trust me, I could make all your pain go away, and grant you whatever sort of life you want. But just, but just forget about me. I wish I could have had someone, to wipe my mind clean, but I guess I’m not as lucky as you. Take this offer and be happy as long as you live.”

  “But I don’t wanna live without you,” Cindy replied, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly, “I’d rather die and live with you forever, than to live a life without you. I could never even imagine that. Besides, I know that your vampire friends will follow me wherever I go, but they won’t hurt me as long as I’m under your protection.”

  “Do you think I’d just leave you alone? No. I’d keeping an eye on you. Nobody would hurt you, I promise. Just let me do this.”

  “Make love to me,” she kissed him on the lips, “this is all I want.”

  “But you’d have to promise me.”

  “Promise you what?”

  “Promise me that you will give away your memory.”

  “Make love to me first.” she demanded.

  Adrian slowly reached for Cindy’s cleavage and tore her new red dress in half, exposing her buoyant breasts. He quickly removed his shirt and pants and began to explore her untouched body with his hungry eyes. She was truly beautiful. Her body was soft, tender, and intoxicating.

  She felt a little embarrassed. “I’m a virgin,” she stated in a low quivering voice.

  “I know that,” he smiled as he removed his underwear to expose his throbbing hard cock, “I know,” he repeated.

  He started kissing her on the neck, and slowly moved down to her lily white breasts. He squeezed them with both hands and then sucked both of them with his cold lips. Cindy could feel the electricity running through her body, and her clitoris began to ache with anticipation.

  Adrian touched her between her legs. Cindy felt a mix of excitement and confusion, as she grew increasingly wet.

  “Are you ready for this?” he inquired, in his charming Romanian accent.

  “I am,” she replied in a confident and seductive voice.

  He explored her legs with his wet tongue, thoroughly. Cindy liked it. “You’re killing me,” she said in a thin and shaky tone, “I cannot wait.”

  “This is just getting started,” he replied.

  He slowly slipped his finger up her vagina, trying his best not to make her feel any pain. Cindy bit her lower lip in anticipation. She wanted him to continue with whatever he was doing. She felt too shy to say anything to him.

  “Do you still want me?” he asked.

  She nodded. Her eyes were closed.

  “Before we make love, would you like to touch it?” he asked playfully.

  Cindy didn’t know what to say. So she just nodded and reached for his huge penis that was fully erect. She squeezed it, and jerked it slowly with an up and down motion that she found exhilarating. Adrian’s muscles tensed, and his eyes widened.

  “Now it is I who cannot wait” he declared.

  Adrian pinned her hands down to the bed and thrust his throbbing member into her. She felt an enormous amount of pain as he entered, but then it started getting easier and easier with every second. She had never imagined that sex carried such a pleasurable experience. Adrian was on top of her. She wrapped her long legs around his back, and allowed him to penetrate deeper inside of her. His thrusts were strong filling her with raw animalistic passion.

  He quickly switched the position by allowing her to roll over him. He grabbed her by the waist and helped her bounce off his stiff penis that seemed to have perpetual energy for erection. She sank her fingernails right inside his chest, then dragged her fingers down, knowing that his wound would heal very quickly, and it did. She began moaning intensely, but not Adrian. He was concentrating on her completely. He was noticing every movement of her body. It was easy for him to play everything by slow motion. He could see things happening in nano-seconds. He could hear her panting, watch sweat slide down her skin, and enjoy her fine, bouncing breasts. He could feel her approaching her orgasm and increased the intensity of his movements. As she climaxed his fangs grew longer.

  He knew the next decision he was going to make was going to affect both their lives.

  Chapter 9: The Visitor

  Adrian cuddled Cindy and kissed her a couple of times on the neck, trying not to wake her up from her beauty sleep. He could feel the transformation he had been through. The cold hearted and ruthless vampire had now turned into a warm-hearted lover. He touched Cindy’s golden locks, and even brushed them with his long fingers. Cindy was fast asleep. She needed that after what she had been through.

  Adrian felt the hair on the back of his neck rise and he could sense someone’s presence. He slowly slipped out of his bed and put on his robe. He walked out of the bedroom and towards the great hall. Inaudible footsteps were getting closer and closer. He could hear the person with his heightened senses. It wasn’t just human, because that person’s movement was leaving strange energies in the air, dark energy.

  As he reached the great hall the sound of the movement suddenly stopped. He was ready for whatever it was.

  There was a slow tap, like a dying heartbeat. He looked up to find Ms. Biel, his mother and maker, standing right in front of him, with a gloomy look on her face.

  “Adrian,” she said gently, “I’m sorry for what I said last night.”

  “It’s alright,” he answered, and stepped aside, as a gesture for her to walk in.

  She walked into his place and began to observe it very carefully. She was sensing heat, in attempt to find the girl he had brought in.

  “Are you looking for something mother?” he inquired hastily.

  “Where’s the girl?” she questioned.

  “Mom, I thought we were good.”

  “I told you not to call me your mother, it’d give way to a lot of complications,” she complained.

  “Okay, Ms. Biel. I want you to get out of my house right now.”

  “Son, I’m doing this for you. I’m the head of the council. I’m the one who makes decisions. I don’t want anybody to know that I’m favoring you because you’re my son,” she spoke in a Romanian accent this time.

  “I thought we were good, Ms. Biel, mom, or whatever you like to be called, I thought that you were
okay with my decision, so that’s why you came here to make amends, but you’re here to find the girl, right? You’re here to deal with the business you left unfinished the other night?”

  “Listen to me… you committed a murder, alright? How do you expect me to sleep with that, after all I’m head of the council and your mother too?”

  “So you’re here to charge me with murder? What about the murders we commit every day, killing limitless human lives to keep our own dead hearts ticking. Why aren’t we accountable for those murders?”

  “This is the way we are Adrian, this is our biological makeup, and the sooner you learn to accept it, the easier for you it will be, to live life as the prince of darkness and do whatever you want. But, even we creatures are accountable, for one crime only, that is murdering your own kind. Of all crimes, you chose to murder one of your own kind, without fearing the consequences?”

  “He got what he deserved. He had it coming the moment he jumped on Cindy. I tried to warn everybody and him twice, but he was too blind to see that. So I had to end it that instance. I couldn’t let anyone harm that girl.”

  “So now you’re telling me that you’re in love with that girl right?” she sat on a nice comfy sofa that was placed in the hall, and reached for the bottle of whisky that was placed on the table. She poured a glass for herself and slipped it down her throat,” she smiled, “you’re still into Maker’s Mark?”

  “Mom, I’m asking you for the very last time. Leave. Please,” he almost pleaded.

  “Or what?” she crushed the glass in her fragile old hands and slowly flew a couple of feet in the air, “are you gonna kill me the way you did the other night? Do you have the balls on you to kill your own goddamn mother Adrian? I fucking kept you in me for nine months. I raised you. You were nothing. I fed you my milk. Now, that you’re such a fucking strong vampire, you’re ready to cast aside your mother and her century’s old love, for what? For a girl, who you barely know? A girl with whom you felt this intimacy for less than twenty-four hours?”

  “Mom, you were never there for me. You gave me birth but then you abandoned me. I didn’t know shit. Dad was chased out of Romania. You only turned me because you were bored. You always had this lust for power in you. It was dad’s mission to unite every vampire around the world, not so that we could kill human beings, so that we could protect our own kind by finding alternate methods of survival. You just took over the council that dad left, and you’re leading it for the last three hundred years, doing what you please. This is not going to work. You have to step back or I’ll forget that I’m your son.”
