Prologue
"Go with her."
The man's visage betrayed no expression; she would have felt a strange sense of disappointment if it had. In all the years they had known each other, he had barely shown even one iota of emotion.
This was, of course, despite the occasional "glitch" every now and then.
It does not matter anymore. Not now. Pause. …Not now that he is truly Mine.
Before a swell of pathos at the enormity of this truth threatened to implode from within her, the Gunslinger's voice brought her back to Earth.
"Will this be your final request before departure…and eventual parting of ways, Maria?"
To all appearances, the fact that they would soon part company did not bother her, and bothered him even less. But Maria knew better; Tres was actually quite distressed and felt torn between his loyalties to Caterina Sforza and Maria Sforza-Valdemars. A sad smile broke through her calm façade as she reached out to cup his cheek.
"The rest goes without saying, Tres; you know this." She slowly pulled her hand away from his face, but his hand rose up quickly to prevent this. An involuntary action.
They remained this way for a few minutes, gazing into the depths of each other's eyes. Finally, Tres made the first move, sitting down and pulling the Dhampir/Crusnik into his lap. Maria watched as his hands slowly rubbed her thighs, dragging up the skirt of her dress.
"…We still have some time before we leave."
"Do we?"
One of his hands went up to her crotch and cupped it, squeezing a little. The young woman gave a start and blushed at this, trying hard not to give herself away. Smiling slightly, the Gunslinger kept teasing her, trailing kisses up her neck to the corner of her lips. Going down Maria's neck again, he paused for a moment before using his final stratagem to arouse her passion.
After unzipping her high collar enough to expose most of Maria's neck, he bit her, his half-developed vampire fangs leaving small dents in her skin. It was not enough to draw blood. No, they were lacking in both edge and length for that purpose.
But it was enough to incite Maria.
Crusnik's were natural predators to vampires and indeed to most things in general, almost like human-sized doomsday weapons. But despite all that, they would still react to this tease like vampires would.
Soon, the gothic aristocrat black traveling dress and Rosenkreuz Orden uniform were scattered across the floor.
