Close your eyes
And surrender to your
Darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts
Of the life
You knew before!
Close your eyes,
Let your spirit
Start to soar!
And you'll live
As you've never
Lived before...

The scent of her tender capitulation nearly drove all thought from him. Soon there would be only his prey, the night, and the now. There was only enough of his human consciousness left for him to murmur to her once. "No fear... No pain...."
Her dark eyes closed at his rich tenor voice, her head falling back to expose her neck as she came further under his spell. Her coat fell open to further expose her to the chill atmosphere, the plunging neckline of her blouse an enticement he was not immune to. Her mind was now quiet and still, like a small pond in the breathless heat of summer, waiting, accepting what was to come. He could leave her now, like this, and she would long for him, live only to pine away until either he or death came personally to claim her.
Radiant blue eyes closed as he groaned. Her scent, the soft perfume of her meek submission and acceptance driving all thought from his mind for a moment. The music reached a crescendo, caressing them both seductively with the icy wind as his fangs bared. His head lowered slowly to her neck, savoring the anticipation, the heat, the bouquet that was this woman, his prey.
A kiss, the kiss of the dragon, he was the dragon of the night. A caress, the tender pulse of life just beneath the sensitive skin, leaping at the anticipation. A bite, the mark of the dragon, the sudden pulsating rush of heat into his mouth. Sweet spiciness, the taste of her, his prey, filled him, enveloped him. Her scorching warmth through the blood washed over him, through him, within him, nearly pulling him to his knees with sweet, soaring feeling. Her mouth opened in a silent gasp of ecstasy, her song mingling with the hushed tones of the night. Their spirits soared together into the night, acquiring wings to fly, transporting them both into the darkness as he fed.
If she survived, her life would be forever changed...
