Halloween Rendezvous
Chapter 1
It's Halloween night, and the brightest full moon I've ever seen hangs hauntingly in the dark sky above me.
The moon is so close and big you can almost touch it. This is my favorite day of the year. Not because of the trick or treating, but the mystery that comes along with it.
My name is Bella Swan, and I'm twenty-six. My infatuation with this holiday started last year, when I first saw him.
He was dressed as a vampire and sitting in the darkest corner at the club 'Nights End'. I'd never seen him there before during my many visits, and curiosity got the best of me. "Who's that?" I asked my over excitable friend Alice.
"That's Edward Cullen," she replied, "but no one knows anything about him. He's been coming in here for the past two months and never speaks with anyone." How odd is it that no one knows any information about someone that gorgeous.
I couldn't help but stare at him. He had the deepest green eyes I'd ever seen. His hair was and odd shade of bronze and looked liked hands had constantly raked through it. I wonder what it would feel like... "Earth to Bella…" Alice said as she waved her hand in front of my face, pulling me from my daydream.
"Sorry," I said with a giggle. Just then Edward looked up and our eyes made contact. His lips curled into a grin, and I turned my face down to hide the blush I could feel heating my cheeks. I looked back up, expecting to see him sitting there still grinning at me, but all I saw was an empty seat. Quickly I scanned the room hoping to find him again, but to no avail. With a sigh I let Alice drag me out to the dance floor.
After an hour of dancing and a few….maybe more drinks, "Innocence" by Halestorm came over the speakers. Alice and I sprinted back to the floor, squealing like the girls we were. During the chorus, I felt strong cold arms circle around my waist, and almost like I was flying I found myself in the same dark corner I first saw Edward.
"Don't turn around," a voice whispered in my ear. My heart started to race, and I wanted to call out, but every time my lips opened my throat went dry. "I could smell your sweet scent from across the room," the silky voice said, as cold smooth lips grazed from my ear to my shoulder.
Shifting my eyes, I struggled to focus on the face that was inches from mine, and instantly noticed the bronze hair. My chest started to heave as his tongue slid back toward my neck. "You taste better than you smell." I couldn't stop it, my eyes closed as my head tilted back against him. "What do you want?" I asked as the breath I was holding escaped me.
"Your innocence," said he replied cryptically.
That was a year ago, and I don't remember anything after that, nor have I seen him since.
Alice and I went out every Halloween, but this Halloween all I could think about was the previous year.
It was silly but I was hoping that he would be there again. If he is, will he even remember me?.
As the night went on, I didn't once see him. The night continued like any other night, with one exception, I had to turn in early because I had to work the next day. At Eleven PM, I told Alice I was going to head home so I could at least get a few hours of sleep. We hugged, and I departed.
While walking to my car, I thought I heard footsteps behind me, getting louder as they got closer. So I hurriedly searched for my keys. As soon as my door was closed, I locked it and looked out the window. With the moon shinning so brightly, I could see all around, but there was no one in site. No one can see me in here with tinted windows, I reassured myself.
Gradually I relaxed, and convinced myself it was just my overactive imagination. After starting the car, I reached down to turn up the heat and get the chill out, then I turned on the radio. Scanning through the stations I heard "Familiar Taste of Poison" by Halestorm come on. I leaned back to listen to it and closed my eyes. Now being totally relaxed, I didn't notice the sound of leather rubbing until I felt the same cold fingers on me as last Halloween.
My eyes flew open to find him sitting in the seat next to me with his hand at my neck. Opening my mouth to scream, I was abruptly silenced when his lips crashed to mine. My head started spinning, and it felt like my equilibrium was gone. My hands went to his hair with a mind of their own. As the kiss got deeper, I could have sworn my tongue was being cut, just at that moment he let out a low moan and pulled away, making me feel abandoned. I tried to open my eyes to see if I was just dreaming, there's no way this can be a real, I sighed. I felt those same fingers turn to something sharp and a sucking began in the same place. "I wouldn't call you poison. You're more like a drug." I thought I heard as I slipped into the blackness.
I woke up in my own bed and looked around. How did I get home? Puzzled, I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and turned my head to see a small red mark, but no cuts, just below my left ear on my neck. Maybe it was a dream….
After getting dressed, I headed to work. It would be just like any other day, but all I could think about was what actually could have happened the night before.
~~oo~~
Another few months of trying to find him with no success, and I finally gave up.
Just like every other day, time passed, and Halloween was just around the corner, again. This time I would try something new.
"Alice, let's go in disguise this Halloween," I said to her as we picked out our costumes.
"That's a great idea, and I know the perfect one for you, Bella." She grabbed a few items as she dragged me through the store. I was pushed into the dressing room as she hung the items on the hook.
"Try that on," she ordered. I stepped out for Alice to approve. She looked at me with a puzzled look and held up a finger, "Wait here." She dashed away and was back within seconds. "You just needed a finishing touch," she exclaimed as she held a mask out to me. Her face turned from not sure to her overly excited self instantly. "Perfect, you're gonna knock them dead."
Alice opted for the skin tight Catwoman costume.
Finally, it was Halloween night again. I couldn't wait to get back to Nights End and not have to work the next day. I could stay out all night if I chose to.
All eyes turned toward us as we walked in. We got smiles from the men and sneers from the women. After a couple drinks at the bar it was time to dance. Halestorm's 'I'm not an Angel' started playing, and I was lost to the music. Alice and I were surrounded by men who kept trying to cop a feel, when I heard a low growl come from behind me in the shadows. Somewhere in my mind I knew it was him. I turned to face him and smiled. It looked as if his skin glowed as he stepped into the black lights. In one swift motion his arms circled me and pulled me back to the clubs office. I heard a click as the door was locked.
I wanted to ask why I'd only seen him three times and only on Halloween, but I wasn't about to interrupt what I hoped was going to happen. After the door was locked behind me his hands released my waist, only to move up and cup my breasts, as they heaved from my panting.
The coldness from his hands sent an erotic shiver through me. It also caused my legs to get heavy and a tingling wetness to gather between my thighs. With one hand still massaging my breast, his lips captured mine, forcing them open to gain entrance. Again it felt as if my tongue was cut, but I brushed the feeling aside to taste him as well.
I moaned into his mouth, as his other hand slid down my abdomen and around my ass, he pulled me closer. I could feel his obvious erection hard against my center, teasing me through our clothing.
He lowered himself in front of me as his tongue slid down my neck to my stomach and tore off my costume with his teeth. I could feel his breath on my folds just before his tongue entered me, eliciting another moan. In and out his tongue assaulted me. My legs were lifted and set on his shoulders as I was being pushed back and up along the door. One hand moved to support my ass as the other exchanged places with his tongue. I continued to moan with pleasure as he finger fucked me and sucked on my clit, "So close. Don't stop," I whimpered. My stomach started to tighten, and my walls squeezed his fingers as I exploded around them.
Apparently he wasn't done with me, and I was lowered onto his hardness in one swift thrust. "How did…" was all I could get out before he pulled out and thrust in once more, this time deeper than the last. With deep, quick, hard thrusts, I could feel him start to throb within me, bringing us both to our climax.
Trembling, he set me down to steady my legs. From behind the door, I heard yet another Halestorm song. This time it being, "I get off". Was there a connection between Halloween, Halestorm and Edward Cullen?
