My Fated Vampire Mate

He isn’t even real

It’s 2 minutes passed midnight, Saturday. It’s Kori’s birthday. She violently flies up and out of her office chair that she forcefully fell asleep in. Her heart was pounding and felt heavy, almost broken.

‘Who was that?’ She murmurs as she brushes her long wavy hair out of her face and wipes the sweat from her brow, remembering the pale, blood eyed man who approached her moments ago, laying claim to her. It was the most vivid dream she’d ever had in her life. It felt so real.

Remembering her dream still, she recalls his intensity and feeling his breath on her neck as she reaches back and clasps her nape. She hears his deep voice say, ‘you’re mine!’ She shivers and gets goosebumps all over her body.

The goosebumps drawing her attention to her body she realizes she feels… different. She can’t pin point it. It’s not just one specific thing but her whole being feels, strange, almost foreign. She yawns and decides to sleep off both the dream and the unexplainable weird feeling.

11:00am Saturday

Kori’s mom presses play on Lenny Kravits ‘happy birthday’, whips open the curtains and pops off streamers and confetti! ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!’ She shouts!

Shocked but overjoyed Kori gets up outta bed wearing only her underwear and a tight white spaghetti strap tang top and dances to the groovy birthday tune with her mom.

It goes by in slow motion, sun gleaming through the window, confetti and streamers whimsically cascading down all around them as they dance and shout out the lyrics at the top of their lungs. ‘I love my mom!’ Kori thinks with happy tears threatening to weep, as she watches her mom close her eyes, smiling ear to ear as she sings passionately to her only daughter!

‘I’ll never forget this, mom!’ Kori says tearfully! Sandras eyes well up, and she happily grins!

She does this every year! They walk out to the kitchen laughing, arm in arm to the table adorned with black carnations and babies breath, a plate stacked a mile high with waffles, strawberries and syrup, topped with whip cream and the orange juice she use to serve is replaced now with coffee!

‘Mom?’ Kori says as she takes a big bite of her warm, sweet waffles and sour strawberries. ‘Yeah, babe?’ Sandra replies. ‘I don’t deserve you!’ Kori mumbles through her waffle stuffed mouth and cracks a goofy smile!

Sandra clicks her tongue and tilts her head, holding back tears. ‘Baby, you deserve so much more than I was ever able to give you! I’m so sorry…for everything!’ They both knew she was referring to the torment they both endured in this God forsaken town. ‘But I love you, so much Kori-Anne Tills!’ Sandra expresses deeply!

Kori doesn’t love it when her mom uses her full name but she’s the only one allowed to!

‘I love you, mom and I’m grateful!’ Kori returns the heartfelt sentiment with a warm smile.

‘Mom, did you feel different when you hit 18?’ Kori blurts out. Sandra, as she sips her coffee and opens the newspaper reply’s saying, ‘different how, hunny?’

‘I don’t know! Just… different!’ Kori responds.

Sandra ponders for a moment and said, ‘sure, I mean…you’re bordering adulthood! I think it’s normal, hun!’

Kori takes another bite of her waffles and wonders if that’s what she’s feeling! ‘Adulthood, huh?’ Kori says out loud.

She enjoys her meal and puts her plate and cup in the sink. ‘Well!’ Kori puts her hands in her moms shoulders. ‘Thank you for this AMAZING breakfast mother!’ Kori says, emphasizing the amazing and the mother part of that sentence. ‘I’m gunna jump in the shower, ok?’ As she kisses her mom on the top of her head.

‘Alright, Kor!’ She says. As Kori leaves the room she mutters, ‘I had the weirdest dream last night!’ Sandra says, ‘what was it?’ Sandra waits to hear her response but Kori was out of earshot.

Kori jumps in the shower, borderline obsessing at this point over how she feels so off. It starts to worsen. It feels like her blood is boiling and her chest is tight and heavy. The light begins to strain her eyes and every bead of water that hits her skin hurts! ‘What is happening?’ She gasps out loud.

She quickly washes her hair and body, turns off the shower and wraps herself in a towel. She walks into her room and closes the door behind her, draws the curtains and flops herself down on her bed. Her heads pounding and all she can fathom at this point is to sleep.

Her mom knocks on her door, ‘you okay babe?’

‘I’m okay mom, just have a headache all a sudden! I’m just gunna lay down for a bit, k?’ Kori responds drowsy! ‘Okay sweet heart! Let me know if you need anything!’

Kori hears a faint voice calling her, she feels dizzy, she starts to spin and passes out. She opens her eyes in total darkness, she doesn’t even know if her eyes are open or closed! All of a sudden, out in front of her she starts to see a blurry figure walking towards her.

She immediately recognizes it as the same man she dreamed of last night. He approaches and comes into focus quicker. She sees his features more clearly and decides it’s definitely a damn dream cuz no man on the planet is this handsome.

They lock eyes this time from afar and even if she wanted to she couldn’t break free, he was like a drink and she was drunk! Those blood red eyes sucking her in over and over. She doesn’t even realize he’s seconds away from her, he doesn’t slow down! Without blinking he swoops his arms over her legs, thrusts her up around his waist, driving Kori’s body and his hands into the wall behind her, she lets out a quiet gasp and closes her eyes tightly on impact.

She quickly opens her eyes to met his. She doesn’t know him but her whole body relaxes and tenses at his touch. Their lips are touching ever so softly as they both begin to pant. Eye contact still unbroken, Kori’s whole body shivers as she realizes she can feel his huge erection gnawing at her groin.

He looks at her like he’s been in the desert and she’s the only thing that’ll quench his deep thirst. It’s intense, she’s almost looks away but wouldn’t dare.

Her panties begin to drip as she feels everything in her body call to him. Shes melting and begins to whimper softly, shocked at the woman within her who starts to scream at her to let this man take her in any and every way he wanted!

He pulls back slightly to see her fully! She’s hinged by the wall and his body, he takes his hands from the wall behind her and starts to unbutton his shirt in a hurry. She shyly looks down to his pale, rock hard abs and that lip biting, chiselled V that leads straight to his… she thinks to herself, ‘oh my God, is this happening?’

Kori’s a virgin, like never done ANYTHING, not even a kiss kinda virgin and she was horrified and exhilarated all at once. She snaps her eyes back to his, unable to hide her fear. He pauses, lets her down slowly. She holds on to his arms to balance, her legs are weak, he grips her waist tightly. Both of them breathing heavily.

He softens his hunger for her body and says, ‘you’re mine!’

The look of confusion spread across her face, partly because she didn’t know why he stopped and partly because she didn’t know what he meant by ‘you are mine’! Although she wasn’t mad that he wanted her. Before she could respond he turns around and walks briskly away, buttoning up his shirt, turning his head to the side slightly, enough to see his sharp jaw line and says while quickening his pace, ‘I’ll find you!’

She wakes up abruptly. Grabs her phone and sees it’s Sunday afternoon! Shocked she says, ‘what the f*ck? I slept 12 hours?’ She realizes her panties are soaked through and the burn is still heavy in her c******s. She wanted him. More than she’s ever wanted anything in her life… and he isn’t even real.
