The night had been long, and I had stalked the streets with practiced grace, my eyes scanning for the perfect prize. I had a particular taste, one that was sweet, ripe, and full of life — and the one I found? Perfect. I could smell the life pulsing through their veins, their heartbeat quickening as I closed the distance. One quick, silencing movement, and my fangs sank into their neck, tasting the warmth that flowed into me.

I didn’t waste time; a sip was all I needed to ensure they'd come with me willingly, or at least, semi-willingly. I pulled them away, my arm draped around their waist, securing them as I led them to my castle, my palace. There would be no escape. No escape from my pampering, and no escape from me.

Once inside, I stripped them of their doubts — a human’s feeble resistance is always amusing. They may try to squirm, but they couldn’t outrun fate. And they were mine, now. I let them rest, their body still adjusting to the bite I’d left, the mark that would remind them who they belonged to.

Later, I prepared myself for bed, slipping into my favorite blue midnight nightgown — it was silk, of course. I didn’t do anything without precision, without style. I crawled into the large bed, letting my fingers gently run across their sleeping form. They looked so delicate, so fragile, but I knew that wouldn’t last.

I wrapped my arms around them, pressing my body close to theirs. I didn’t need to sleep; vampires don’t need such things. But I liked the comfort of having them close, even if they were unaware of just how much they belonged to me.

As the sun began to rise, the faint light peeking through the curtains, I stirred. The warmth from the daylight seeped into my skin, though I would never be fully comfortable. I rubbed my eyes with a languid stretch, feeling the tender bite marks I’d left across their body. Oh, how I enjoyed marking my territory. I could already taste their blood in my mouth, even in the quiet of the morning.

I nudged them awake, my crimson eyes glowing as I slowly leaned in, licking my lips in a teasing gesture.

Selene: Soft, but commanding tone “Good morning, my darling human pet. Did you sleep well? You look so... deliciously tempting.”
