"I can't dance and you know that." Anna said, rebelling against his wish to dance with her. The room was filled with brightly lit candles, with gold covered walls with blood red curtains hanging gently above the tall windows. Dracula was persistent on dancing with Anna. He grabbed her waist and her hand, dancing to the tune inside his mind. Anna laughed at his determination to make her dance to no music. Anna looked down at her feet, watching how she stepped, careful of not messing up. "Allow me to lead Anna." Dracula commanded to her.
Anna laughed at little more, before regaining her composure to dance properly. Still she felt scared of stepping on him or messing up, allowing herself to look down again. They danced in circles, repeating the steps over and over. A coolness swept over Anna when she felt Dracula gently placed his forehead on her own. He looked in her eyes as she looked in his. "Follow my lead." Anna nodded to his command. Moving his head away from hers, they were dancing one again. Anna closed her eyes, hoping that she would do well with the dance by not looking at all.
A soft pair of cold lips landed on hers, making her eyes open suddenly. They had stopped dancing, but Anna wasn't aware of it. Dracula was kissing her shortly, pulling away from her delicate lips. "You did well for the first time." He said softly. Anna smiled, "I was lucky enough to do the waltz, I highly doubt that I can do more." Dracula rubbed her cheek softly. "You were beautiful when you danced with me just now, and I know you'll be more beautiful on our wedding day." Anna watched his usual cold eyes seem to give life as he said those few simple words to her.
Dracula leaned in to kiss her as she did the same, giving a small, yet sensual kiss for one another. They had both learned over the last month to control their desire for one another, hoping things would not go to far. Anna wanted more though. She wanted to kiss him more, to allow him to touch her, and allow herself to go farther, but turned it down, thinking of her vow. "It is almost daylight, we should head off to bed."
Anna nodded to his request, walking hand in hand down the long corridors, towards their room. The door opened to the slightest touch of Dracula's hand as they stepped in the room. Anna walked towards the closet to grab her nightgown. Putting it on, she walked out buttoning the top part of her shirt. Dracula was laying in bed, as usual, with his bare chest exposed from the covers. Anna walked towards him as he had a large grin on his face. Anna laughed a bit, "What is so funny?" Dracula stared at Anna, "Nothing love." Anna raised an eyebrow, trying to push that small situation out of her mind.
Walking over to her to her side table, she grabbed her book that she had been reading only a few days. Dracula watched her walk gracefully towards the bed, with a book in her hand. Slowly she laid down, propping her pillows so that she could read her book peacefully. Opening the book, Dracula watched her every move. He craved her, and he knew she craved him. He knew she wanted more than what they were giving each other over the last two months. "Your beautiful when you read." Dracula said suddenly. Anna, not looking up from her book smiled. "That was very romantic." Dracula smiled as well.
An hour passed as the candles slowly dimmed from the melting wax. Anna's eyes began to hurt as she closed them for a moment, hurting even more when she opened them. Finally resting her book on the side table she laid down. Snuggling closer to Dracula she felt his bare chest and neck on her face. Somehow she felt warm against his cold skin. Rubbing her leg against his as he huddled closer towards her she felt his cold skin. Realizing his leg was bare form clothing, Dracula sensed her heart skip a beat when she realized he was naked within the covers. Anna pulled away from his embrace, "Put your pants back on." She commanded to him.
He laughed, moving closer to her, as she scooted away from him. "You honestly think that you will go through marriage with me and not see me or you naked at the same time?" Anna looked at him confused of what he was talking about, "What do you mean seeing you and me naked?" Anna looked down to see that she too naked within the covers. Quickly pulling the sheets up to her chest, Dracula stared at her. Anna looked at him still shock in her eyes. "Give me my clothes back." Dracula continued to stare at her. "What are you looking at. Were you a vulture in some past life?" Anna hated that about Dracula. She hated that he would stare at her.
"Lets play a game." Dracula said suddenly. Anna looked at him. A sense of evil was being aroused in his eyes.
"I just want to get my clothes back."
"Well then you'll have to play my game to get them back."
"But it is way to late for any game right now. I want to go to sleep."
"Alright, but I wont give you your clothes back then." Dracula turned over, his back facing Anna. He could hear her let out a heavy sigh. "Alright. What is the game." Dracula turned over, excited and happy that Anna finally agreed. "You must not want me." Anna raised an eyebrow, again confused with what he was talking about. "But I already want you, how is that possible?" Dracula smiled. "I know you are holding back, now I want you to hold back for as long and hard as possible. I don't even want you to acknowledge that I am here."
Anna bit her lip, trying to see if there was a hidden trap. "And what happens if you win?" Dracula smiled evilly towards her. "Then We move the wedding to two weeks from now." Anna looked at him with shock and anger somehow mixed in one. "You want to gamble off our wedding date, plus my clothes?" Dracula looked at her seductfully. "Exactly."
"And if I hold back for lets say ten minutes, then I get my clothes back and we keep the original date for the wedding." Dracula smiled, "Only if you can resist me." Anna moved to her pillows laying down on them, her back facing Dracula. Dracula moved close to her embracing her warmth. He started to kiss her neck, smelling the delight of the blood red rose essence. Anna closed her eyes, trying to imagine he wasn't there, but a fire began to grow within her.
His cold hands wandered up her bare thighs , sending shivers down her spine. Moving up, his hand slowly wandered up her stomach, then in between her breasts. The fire inside Anna was starting to grow, but was dim to her relief. He began to kiss her shoulders, with his hand still between her breasts, slowly moving towards the right one. Anna squinted her eyes shut, trying her hardest to resist kissing him. His hand now placed gently on her breast, Anna could feel the fire erupt. Ecstacy shot through her body as he began to kneaded her breast, squeezing it gently. His kisses were so soft and tender, she only wished he would kiss her trembling lips. Turning her over, Dracula began to kiss her cheek, while he slowly moved on top of her.
He noticed her eyes were closed as he kissed her, squinting when he kissed a new area of her. A delightful smile appeared on his face. He could feel her skin get hot as he kissed her even more. Anna couldn't control it anymore, she needed him to kiss her lips and nothing more. Depriving her from such a sensual kiss seemed almost inhumane. Anna's eyes shot open. She watched Dracula kiss her naval, and slowly move up. She waited until he was to her cheek again before she turned her head to kiss him.
He kissed her hungrily, he too had been craving her lips. His hands went to each of her breast slowly squeezing them just as he had done before. His tongue slipped in her mouth exploring every bit of it. Anna did the same with her tongue. Her fingers dug in his back as the fire inside her, burned everything, including her thoughts on her vow. "Oh my god." She said between kisses. "I win." Dracula said to Anna as she kissed his shoulder.
"Yes you won. Please lets just start." Dracula stopped kissing her neck.
"What do you mean." He said breathlessly.
"You won, so lets just go through with it."
"Oh." He began to laugh. "Anna that was not our deal."
"I don't care about our deal, I just want to have sex with you now." Anna said
"Two weeks and we can." Anna stopped kissing his shoulder.
"You are such a jerk sometimes. Toying with me like this." Anna said breathlessly.
"Now you know how I felt."
Dracula rolled off Anna, still feeling her clingyness. She huddled closer towards him. Her hands gently placed on his stomach with her head placed on his cold chest. Closing her eyes she breathed heavily on his chest. "Hold back for two more weeks Anna and then I will give my all to you."
