A kiss under the Velvet Moon

What would I do without you?

My hands were now incapable of keeping to themselves, my body was now moving of its own free will, my mind loving every moment. I couldn't help myself, she was like the sweetest wine one drop would never be enough. I don't know what I'd ever do without her.

I watched as she bent down in front of me spreading out the cream cotton sheet on the dark earth below us. Her bottom was barely visible through the thin fabric of her dress. I tried to restrain every thing in my being to not grab it and take her right there.

I found my hands gently gliding over the curvature of her roundness. She let out a soft moan, taking her time to rise back up to a standing position. She knew exactly what she was doing, she was teasing me.

Her behind was beautiful and I wasn't just saying that. She could have been the muse of several dead painters fantasies. My face was flushed with warmth, could feel the heat coming off my cheeks.

She knew what she was doing and every nerve in my body was coming to life. She turned in a half circle deliberately taking her time, my eyes watching, lashes heavy and sensual. With her hands on her hips she whispers in the night air.

" My darling husband you enjoy what you see? "

She twirled her body underneath the glow of the moon, the bottom ruffle of her dress, rose and fell with each round she turned.

Her tiny tummy barley a small mound underneath it, shown through. We weren't sure how far she was or even if she was carrying a son, she said she just felt it.

She called it a woman's intuition, but I just called him our healthy baby. If she thought it was a boy, than all I can do is trust her "intuition". If it was boy or girl or both, it did not matter, for I was the happiest man on earth regardless of the s*x.

Alexandria walked closer toward me, taking my hands in hers. Her fingers moved over my bristly chin hair, caressing the edge of my jaw line. Her eyes never leaving mine, she pulled my hands up to her mouth then and placed a kiss against my rough knuckles.

Her tongue surprising me as it skimmed over the top of my finger suggestively. A deep growl of pleasure barley over a whispered escaped my lips, as she covered mine in hers.

Placing both her hands against me she lightly eased me down to my knees and then on to my back. My need for her was intensifying, as I could only wait to see what was to come.

I am sure she knew just how eager I was without even looking at me, it was very apparent. I could tell by the way her warm brown eyes locked into mine that she was more than just pleased with herself, she was almost giddy.

Hiking her dress up and out of the way, she gave a glimpse of what she was not wearing underneath. She had had this planned the whole evening, just as I had been planning own eventual night. She was above me, straddling me on her hands and knees.

Her hair spilled into my face and all around her, in curls of silk. I was simply mesmerized by the beauty above me and the light emitting from above was making her body illuminate. Pulling her toward me, I kissed her like we'd kissed so many time before but this time it was magic as our bodies moved together in unison.

We held each other as our breath slowed, basking in the feeling we had both experienced.

The stars above us look like they were smiling down on us, each beat of a light sparkling and agreement.

Alexandria lay beside me her head laying across my chest staring up in the darkness.

" Elias, do you think my parents are looking down on me? "

" I hope not, as only a moment before we were at the brink of loves passion. It would not only be really inappropriate, but also alittle embarrassing, I mean you were screaming my name."

I gave her a satisfied glance, feeling very conceited. I felt a swat on my leg and Alexa snorted.

" I didn't mean right then, my god Elias!" Her eyes nearly popped out of her head then, redness filling her cheeks.

" What I meant was ever ? " She giggled a hint of sadness behind her voice. " Do you think they are up there?" she raised her hand twords the sky and let it abruptly fall.

" You know, looking down on us, watching over us, keeping us safe?" Snuggling closer, she brought her head up against my shoulder, both of us now laying flat on our backs, staring up.

Folding my arms against my neck I exhaled.

" I don't know sweetheart . "

I instinctively shrugged my shoulders, making her head bob for a second.

" I hope so, as I also hope my father might be doing the same. " I pressed a kiss onto the very top of head as a silver streak of light fell from the sky.

" A shooting Star!", We both blurted out at the same time.

" Make a wish my love. Shooting stars, have special powers to grant you one wish. Something deep in your heart my love. I'll think of mine and our dear parents will hear our prayers and grant them. "

Alexa drew her hands together as if in prayer, closing eyes saying words only she could hear or understand. I just watched in awe, she looked like a young child then, so innocent, I didn't had the heart to tell her it was all make-believe.

Her heart was so innocent, I felt then like the man who came and took it.

" Okay, I said mine, what was your wish?" Alexa eyes pooed open, propping her head up with her hand and elbow she waited my response.

I just continued staring into the blackness, If I to were look into her eyes she'd know I was fibbing. For I felt like a coward.

" My love, if I told you my secret, it would not come true. I love you forever, always my Alexandria."

We lay there what seemed like hours, The moon creeped across the sky drifting behind the mountains. It was just us, the midnight black sky , beneath a blanket of twinkling lights.

" Alexa my love, do you think it is time we shall go and find our bed, sweetheart? Dawn, will be here before we know it. Are you ready for bed, my sweet Alexandria?"

Turning my head to the side slightly, I found that Alexa had already fallen asleep. Her head lay on my shoulder, her eyes closed fluttering inside of a dream.

I wasn't quite sure when she had dosed off, my mind was filled with so many unspoken thoughts, I guessed I got caught up them and didn't even realize. She looked so peaceful and so angelic, I would hate to wake her. I moved my arm ever so slightly as her head glided down , she didn't even stir.

Leaving the bedsheet behind, I scooped my wife's sleeping form into my arms, cradling her like a child. Her head pressed up against my beating heart, I carried her through the back door.

The house greeted me with pitch blackness. The smell of our dinner still lingered in the air, I sniffed instantly making my tummy growl. Ignoring it, I reaching out and grabbed an oil lamp we had sitting on the window ledge next to the kitchen table.

I lit the lamp, the soft glow of the flame, lit a pathway to our bedroom chambers. Still cradling my wife in my arms and somehow holding the iron candle in one hand. Setting it on the side table, I walked Alexa to the bed side.

I laid her sleeping form against the feathered pillow, making sure her neck wasn't angled in an awkward position. I drew up the crushed red velvet coverlet that still lay at the bottom of the bed, up over her chest. I pressed my lips against her forehead and bid her goodnight.

In a half awake, half asleep state, she stirred, her lashes fluttering, " love you Elias."

I undressed, earth still clinged to my skin from the day in the garden but I was too exhausted to worry about it now. Pulling the thin material of the sheet over my body, I lay my head on my feather down pillow and let my eyes grow heavy until I was out.

With the sheet tucked under my chin I slept, no dreams came, only the pleasant reminder of the night before still remained. Her sent of vanilla, honey and wildflowers still covered me like a blanket.

The taste of her still on my lips, I let myself sink into the darkness of sleep.

I awoke, a dreamless night, only darkness. Even the room I lay still covered, black as night. Something wasn't' right!

Everything around me so strange, so foreign. My heart if it was still beating would have been beating so hard it would have rattled my whole body.

I closed my eyes hoping maybe it was just some sick, sadistic joke, maybe I was only dreaming. I opened my phone yes once again, only to reveal the same, fate.

Panic began to set in, I quickly sat up, unfamiliar with my surroundings and I was so cold. All I could see was tall black structures all around me jutting into the sky above, moist earth beneath me.

My eyes going in ever direction, shocked, I screamed out her name, "Alexandria". She was no where to be found, I was laying in the earth in the middle of a field.

Dead bushes, weeds, an abandoned garden, her garden. My fist met the earth, pounding them in frustrating, wishing I had tears flowing but none came and the unmistakable hunger that lingered below the surface appeared.

I needed to feed soon, I hadn't had fresh blood in almost a week, the ache was already there. The need was very apparent, like a monster clawing to break free. I'd apparently dreamed this all up, this was our home, now a pile a rubble.

The garden that once held so much life gone, gone for more than a hundred years. Many memories destroyed in the fire, my wife buried beneath it. One day I planned to rebuild, to return it to all it's former glory, but today was not that day. Today was a new day, today I would hunt, sadness only greeted me here.

" Dammed you MacHayden, damn you to hell." Looking up into the skyline of trees few stars were left in the sky, morning would be here soon.

" Damn you, twinkling lights of death, damn you all."

Pulling my self off and out of my mud, I swept shaking hands through my unbelievably clean hair, it had grown alot since, Alexa. It was nearly at my shoulders.

My beard only stubble, reds and brown prickles of hair, just barely there, accentuating the curves and dimples that once appeared. Smiles didn't not find me very often.

The phone in my back pocket had gone on many times but I was not aware. A red light in the very corner reminding me to charge soon, beamed it's red aura over my palm.

I had two voice messages, apparently I had slept through, the ring tone on vibrate. It was Gina, a young women I'd met at gentleman's club several weeks before. She'd wondered why I hadn't called her back. It had been nearly two weeks since she'd seen me.

She's one of the very few women, that could satisfy my urges, since my beautiful Alexandria.

I mean I may be half dead but I was still partly alive and every man had his needs, even if I wasn't fully human.

Gina Grey, she is such a lovely girl. She was twenty eight when I met her. She had the bluest eyes I'd ever seen, golden blond hair that fell just at her bra strap. I was originally only there for one reason. I heard there was a man that was seen creeping around the parking lot several nights in a row.

Some say he was a stalker, but I knew better , I could smell him the moment I let my foot touch the blacktop near the property. He was pure evil, and a r****t.

There was a distinct smell in the blood that not only attracted me to them, but led me straight to them. Like a tiger stalking is prey, I locked in on my target. When hunting, my senses made everything light up like a fourth of july celebration.

My sight was ten times more stronger, I could hear every vulgar thought, taste thier fear, and track every move they made. Rapists, were easy pray, It didn't take me long to find thier kind.

It was nearly midnight when I caught his scent, a slight drizzle in the air.

I was walking down the street in more racer part of town. Tatum, has grown so much since, I was young. Now, you can't tell where the country side starts and the city begins.

Asshole, I will call him, had been stalking Grey for awhile.

She was dancing at the club for extra money to help save money up yo buy a home. I wasn't going to judge her as, at the time I had not known anything about her or her life. I just happened to be in the right place, when his scent filled me.

My stomach clinched and spasmed with hunger pains. I had all but to take his life then but I crouched and lay in wait using the shadows as my camouflage.

Mr. A, approached a voluptuous young woman, her hair was tied up in a tight bun on her head. She was dressed in basic drawstring sweat pants and a large oversized black hoodie sweater.

She looked like any other human, other then the fact that she had striking baby blue eyes. Some of her brown golden blond hair was spilling out from the bun. She looked exhausted ! I stood back, listening to every word, and every thought exchanged between the two.

Asshole, at first appeared to be asking for change but as Grey moved her frame from his, his agitation started stiring within him. His mind was filled with vulgar and hateful thoughts. He had the whole thing planned on how he would kill her.

The man was more than a disturbed individual more like a monster. I could not wait for nothing more than to get ahold of him because I wanted to rip his bloody head off while I took every ounce of his blood from his body.

I hope he was ready to meet his maker because he was going straight to hell.

Trying her best to ignore the presence that she knew now followed her, she rushed across the parking lot, her black high heels hitting the pavement in heavy click.

As she withdrew her car keys from her purse, he was there behind her. He then tried to grab her wrist but she was quicker and kicked him in the teeth with her shoe, karate style.

I can say that I was more than impressed with how she defended herself. The man fell back in pain his cheek dripping in, sweet, enticing, and rather revolting evil red fluid. She ended up driving away in her red four door beamer, before the man even came to.

Women these days, just wow, she didn't even need my help but now it was my turn! In a flash, no human would have been able to see, I was beside him then but more like a blur of than a man.

He was unconscious but I had to fine some way to make him alert. Otherwise the kill would be way too easy, and I would not be able to smell his fear as I took his life.

Picking the man up by his collar, I swung him over my shoulder and took off on my heels as fast as my feet would take me.

Like lightening, I ran twords my home, in the upper Eastside of Tatum. It was located just on the outskirts of town about thirty or forty fives minutes from the cottage, I once shared with my Alexa. I would have to be be careful not bring to much unwanted attention to myself but that shouldn't be a problem, considering I had no neighbors with in ten miles.

No one would be able to hear his screams, and I had every intention of making his screams blood curdling.

My home atop of mountain overlooking all of the town below. Peolpe in town called it the concrete manor, it was made solly of bricks. Only the wall outside circling the property was black iron.

I wanted to keep peolpe out, the fencing did it's job, as I have never seen anyone climb yet. Then again it could have been that I had two wolf's walking the grounds.
