VAMPIRE TEMPTATION

don’t trust her ** klaus my pen snaps. i must have been gripping it too hard in my frustration – not that my frustration isn’t warranted. this is the third mistake ruby has made in her annotations of client accounts. this isn’t like her at all. for a week after the… incident… her work continued to be stellar. i don’t understand what has happened over the past few days. i’ve been trying to avoid her, but my patience finally snaps. “ruby!” i pummel the button, and she hurries in while it’s still ringing. “yes, klaus?” what the hell is this?” i toss the pile of reports at her. she drops them – i keep forgetting that/human don’t have vampire reflexes. i wait for her to gather them up. “i was under the impression you were here to assist me, not to make my life harder. i’ve had enough of mistakes!” i’m sorry, klaus. i’ll take another look and have these back to you within the hour.” “no, that’s not good enough. i want to know what has gotten into you.” “it’s a personal problem. i’m sorry for allowing it to get into my work.”

i am not in an indulgent mood. in fact, i’ve been in a foul mood ever since ruby revealed she had a boyfriend. i’ve never fucked up so badly before, and i don’t know how to fix it. i’ve been trying to keep my distance from her, to make sure i don’t accidentally entice her again. i asked you a question, ruby! tell me what your problem is or you’re fired.” that does it – breaks through her careful, polite mask, showing me the fiery woman underneath. “you know what’s wrong! you’ve ruined my relationship, that’s what!” “not good enough. that much was true last week. i want to know what’s going on now.” how much of this is really me demanding answers for work mistakes and how much is me wanting to know what’s going on in her life, to know she’s ok? ruby folds her arms, glaring at me. “kelly came back. my boyfriend.” that’s not what i was expecting. so… you’re distracted because you’re thinking of him?” i’m distracted because i’m thinking of you! he wants me to quit my job here after what happened. i told him i won’t, and now things are all wrong between us. he’s still there, but he’s cold and distant, and i don’t know how to fix it.” just like that, my anger melts. i want nothing more than to take her into my arms, but i dare not. “i’m… i’m sorry, ruby. i swear, if i could take back what happened, i would.” she looks curiously at me. “it’s not on you, you know. i was the one who decided to cheat.” how can i tell her that it’s not the case, that it’s all my fault? i can’t, so i do the next best thing. you’re dismissed for the day. spend it with your boyfriend. patch things up as best you can. tomorrow, i expect to see your usual brilliance back in your work.” she practically glows, despite my return to my usual brisk manner. “thank you, klaus!” as she leaves, i pick up the reports she dropped back on my desk, but i can’t focus on them. instead, i go through the emails, looking for people’s ritual forms. most of the humans have submitted their names for the ritual. it’s not surprising. humans get pleasure from it too, after all. i scroll through the pictures, deciding who i want for tonight. what i want is ruby, but i can’t have her. eventually, i settle on amelia. i know she’s friends with ruby. that’s as close to having ruby as i’m ever going to get again. the day drags, and i find myself thinking of ruby. katherine is halfway through her summary of our latest investments before i realize i haven’t heard a word of it. “i think we should start bringing ruby into the fold.” her glare is predictable. “she’s too new. just because you thought it was a good idea to screw her before any of the protocols go through doesn’t mean i’m going to sign off on it. besides, i don’t think she’s a good

candidate. don’t trust her – she will ruin you. “you don’t need to sign off on it! i’m the ceo of this company, not you.” katherine folds her arms, unimpressed. “you will wait the proper period. that’s final.” i growl under my breath, but she’s not in my coven, so i can’t discipline her. as much as i hate it, i’ll have to wait. if katherine even suspects that i’m starting to feel for ruby, all hell will break loose. i can’t risk my coven like that, no matter what i may wish for myself. i leave work early to help prepare for the ritual. i carefully unwrap the ritual candles. witches are much rarer than vampires and getting candles enchanted costs an arm and a leg. we’re very careful with the ones we have. i set them around the ritual circle and light them. not long after, humans start filing in. my eyes are on amelia from the start. once her clothes are off, i beckon her to me. katherine and i go first, as the ranking coven members. amelia knows the drill by now, and lies down in the circle, spreading her legs. she’s trembling in anticipation. i carefully listen to her thoughts, making sure there is no trace of fear. i take off my own clothes and kneel over her. i bend down to kiss her. amelia responds enthusiastically. she’s sweet and cute, and i’ll be perfectly satisfied with her. instead, my mind is filled with ruby. amelia has been to the ritual a number of times and knows exactly what to do. she lies still as i kiss her, feeling my cock start to rise. the back of my throat tickles, wanting blood, but it’s not time yet. vampires can do foreplay however they want during the ritual, but over the years, a specific system has been developed for people who struggle with the ritual. i’ve always enjoyed it, but some find it difficult to become aroused on demand. the rituals are set and planned – not exactly sexy or romantic. tonight, i use the system, trying to get my mind off ruby and focus on amelia. i kiss her for a few minutes before moving down to kiss her breasts. i move my hips slightly, rubbing my cock against her thigh. the friction is delicious and helps me start to forget about ruby. amelia’s skin is soft, and her little moans as i touch her have my cock hardening even more. i resist the urge to bite, knowing it isn’t time yet. my teeth graze against amelia’s breast and i check myself. i need to keep control. humans are fragile, and i don’t want to hurt her. amelia tilts her head back, breathing hard through her mouth. i sick on one of her nipples, squeezing the other between forefinger and thumb. by the time i move down to her clit, amelia is squirming beneath me. i lick her slowly, enjoying her taste. her pussy tastes almost as good as her blood, and i give it a long swipe with my tongue before returning to her clit. i can tell by her thoughts that she’s getting close, so i pull away. i’m fully ready and give my cock a few strokes before slowly pushing into her. amelia wraps her legs around my waist in a practiced motion. i lean down to kiss her as i start fucking her hard. we both have to break away to breathe, but i keep thrusting, pushing her body a little bit backward with each stroke. my thirst is almost unbearable by now. i bring a hand to her clit, helping speed up her release. her body clenches around my cock as she cries out, tilting her head back. i lean down, letting my teeth sink into the soft flesh of her neck. her sweet blood explodes into my mouth. i drink deeply, barely aware of her cries. the chemicals our bite releases make a human’s orgasm much more intense – one of the reasons they are so eager to participate in the ritual. i clutch her tightly as i come too, still drinking her blood. it’s a high unlike any other for both of us. “fuck, ruby,” i gasp, drawing away once i’ve had my fill. amelia’s eyes are far away. i know she’ll be dazed for a while before the high of the bite wears off. i pull out, managing to keep steady. i’ve had a lot of practice after all. it’s only as i look around at the pale faces around me that i realize what i said. ruby. shit. i look to katherine. did she hear, or is she too engrossed in her own feeding? she already suspects there is something between ruby and me. she won’t tolerate her future mate developing feelings for someone else. if she heard, our alliance is as good as dead. t. b. c Don’t Trust Her ** Klaus My pen snaps.

That’s as close to having Ruby as I’m ever going to get again. The day drags, and I find myself thinking of Ruby. Katherine is halfway through her summary of our latest investments before I realize I haven’t heard a word of it. “I think we should start bringing Ruby into the fold.” Her glare is predictable. “She’s too new. Just because you thought it was a good idea to screw her before any of the protocols go through doesn’t mean I’m going to sign off on it. Besides, I don’t think she’s a good

Amelia responds enthusiastically. She’s sweet and cute, and I’ll be perfectly satisfied with her. Instead, my mind is filled with Ruby. Amelia has been to the ritual a number of times and knows exactly what to do. She lies still as I kiss her, feeling my cock start to rise. The back of my throat tickles, wanting blood, but it’s not time yet. Vampires can do foreplay however they want during the ritual, but over the years, a specific system has been developed for people who struggle with the ritual. I’ve always enjoyed it, but some find it difficult to become aroused on demand. The rituals are set and planned – not exactly sexy or romantic. Tonight, I use the system, trying to get my mind off Ruby and focus on Amelia. I kiss her for a few minutes before moving down to kiss her breasts.

I sick on one of her nipples, squeezing the other between forefinger and thumb. By the time I move down to her clit, Amelia is squirming beneath me. I lick her slowly, enjoying her taste. Her pussy tastes almost as good as her blood, and I give it a long swipe with my tongue before returning to her clit. I can tell by her thoughts that she’s getting close, so I pull away. I’m fully ready and give my cock a few strokes before slowly pushing into her. Amelia wraps her legs around my waist in a practiced motion. I lean down to kiss her as I start fucking her hard. We both have to break away to breathe, but I keep thrusting, pushing her body a little bit backward with each stroke. My thirst is almost unbearable by now. I bring a hand to her clit, helping speed up her release. Her body clenches around my cock as she cries out, tilting her head back. I lean down, letting my teeth sink into the soft flesh of her neck. Her sweet blood explodes into my mouth. I drink deeply, barely aware of her cries. The chemicals our bite releases make a human’s orgasm much more intense – one of the reasons they are so eager to participate in the ritual. I clutch her tightly as I come too, still drinking her blood. It’s a high unlike any other for both of us. “Fuck, Ruby,” I gasp, drawing away once I’ve had my fill. Amelia’s eyes are far away. I know she’ll be dazed for a while before the high of the bite wears off. I pull out, managing to keep steady. I’ve had a lot of practice after all. It’s only as I look around at the pale faces around me that I realize what I said. Ruby. Shit. I look to Katherine. Did she hear, or is she too engrossed in her own feeding? She already suspects there is something between Ruby and me. She won’t tolerate her future mate developing feelings for someone else. If she heard, our alliance is as good as dead. T. B. C
