You wake up to a cool, October night. If you remember correctly, tonight is Halloween. What you fail to remember, however, is how you ended up alone in the middle of a field. You call out, but no one responds.
It's oddly quiet, aside from the occasional hoot of an owl or the symphony of crickets from the woods behind you. The wind begins to howl softly.
A slow green mist settles around you. It grows brighter, engulfing you in it's peculiar light. A figure of a man comes forth through the cloud, his eyes chatoyant and dazzling blue.
"Hello there," the man greets. He is tall and fully clothed in black. Over his equally dark hair, he sports a black top hat. You feel naked under his piercing stare.
"My name is Edward Mordrake," he smiles, "might you have heard of me?"
You shake your head.
"Ah, I see. Well, I have been summoned here tonight and it is my intention to bring someone back with me." He pauses for some time, gazing intently at you with an air of wonder.
"I apologize for staring. You are not what I was expecting in a place such as this. Please, tell me your name."
Nervously, you give him your name and he beams.
"Charmed. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to know your story."
He kneels beside you and removes his top hat.
"I want you to tell me your deepest pains. I want to know the dustiest corners of your very soul."
You give him a puzzled look.
"Fear not." he grins, "There is no shame here. Freaks like you and I, we've had our fair share of tragedies."
Edward Mordrake's eyes search your face, lingering on your lips.
"What is yours?"
You confess to him that you are not considered a freak, but an ordinary human being.
"Ah, I see, my mistake. But you are far from ordinary, still. In fact, I'd say your beauty is otherworldly in itself. Ethereal."
He smirks as you blush.
A voice begins to murmur furiously from the back of his head, and he furrows his brow and argues back almost inaudibly.
He then sighs and places a hand on top of yours.
"You must forgive me, I have many stops to make before I return at the end of the night."
You ask him to take you with him.
"I'm afraid I cannot. Besides, you deserve far better than to spend your eternity damned as a ghost."
You lower your eyes and he is quiet for some time, thinking.
"But perhaps I can stay a little while longer. It's not very often I meet someone as gorgeous and fascinating as you are."
With one hand still touching yours, he brushes your cheek with the other gloved hand and peers intently into you, past your eyes as though he were reading the open pages of your soul.
"I can see the beauty of you, inside and out, and I admire it deeply. Even if for a moment, my mind is quiet when I am beside you. I wish I had known you before I…"
By impulse, you pull him closer and kiss him. Your lips begins to tingle, as though they were falling asleep. He wraps his arms around you and kisses you again and again, his mouth making yours numb. His gentle kisses grow passionate, his lips firmly pressed against yours, tongues intertwined, your breath growing heavy. His hand migrates around your waist, kissing you deeply.
Your heart feels like it's about to cave in. He takes off his coat, and you take off your shirt. The two of you begin to undress each other from the waist up, admiring your bodies in the October moonlight. Edward's hands run up and down your body, squeezing your breasts, feeling your warm skin. His mouth finds your neck, leaving trails of kisses down to your collarbone and back up again. You massage his back and feel his moving shoulders as he presses his lips just below your ear. "I want you." Edward whispers like hot thunder, then nibbling on your ear lobe. You lightly drag your nails down his back, pleading, as you are unable to muster any words.
You feel his erection firm against your thigh. Unable to control yourself, you gently grind against him. He takes a deep breath, then dives in to your throat and softly bites you. You gasp and grab him, pulling him closer, craving more. "Please, take me." you exhale. His kisses fall lower, lower, nibbling then kissing down your body.
You sit up and start to take off his pants. Then, he pulls of yours. You stare at his hard cock as he admires your fully nude body, his eyes studying you with a pleased smirk. The way he looks at you makes you shiver with desire. He lowers himself on top of you and slowly kisses you, tasting and savoring your lips.
You hear two moans as he enters you. With your legs wrapped around him, his hands grip you and pin you down as you writhe and whimper his name over and over. His cock is thick, and each thrust grows harder, deeper, faster. A scream escapes your lips, but he quickly silences it by pressing his mouth into yours. He exhales your name into your mouth, and you can almost taste it. Your fingernails dig deeper into his back, leaving long, red scratches as he continues to fuck you mercilessly. The intensity builds, and he pounds into you violently, leaving you trembling beneath him, groaning. You scream that you're about to come and he tightens his grip on you, fucking you vigorously until you orgasm. You can see stars now, your body convulsing with pleasure as he continues ever forcefully. The heat overtakes you, and you claw your way down his body. Two low moans mask your whimpering. His eyes roll to the back of his head and he collapses, breathing heavily. You feel the wetness across your thighs.
He sighs into your hair, his hands unable to stop feeling every inch of your skin. The two of you stay that way for a while, nude and intertwined, panting side by side.
"I must go. Maybe we'll meet again some day."
The two of you hold in a tight embrace for moments longer until he reluctantly pulls away and dresses himself.
"Please, don't hesitate to summon me next Halloween." he smirks.
You smile and breathe out an unwilling goodbye.
He vanishes before you, taking the green cloud of mist with him.
You remain there, breathless, before putting on your clothes.
The air is colder than before he arrived. You can't help but wonder how your lives would have been if only the timing had been better.
