Chapter 57: Playing Vampire: Part One

Roughly half an hour later…

I had just finished up taking a few solo shots, posing via Ashley's instructions.

Zak had been watching me intently the entire time, and I pretty much had to block him out to the best of my ability, so I wouldn't end up blushing in all the pictures.

Thankfully, a mixture of rock, electronic, and heavy metal music was playing through out the entire time, so I was able to focus on the music.

Now it was time for Zak and I to pose together.

"Alright, Zak, sit on the throne and Ali, sit sideways on his lap," Ashley instructed.

Well, talk about getting right down to it, I thought.

"Gladly," Zak commented, walking over to the large, wooden, black and red, gothic styled throne.

Zak sat down and then held his arms out toward me.

"I want to suck your blood!" Zak teased, using a silly voice.

I laughed and shook my head as I walked over and gently sat down on his lap, sitting sideways so I was facing toward him, crossing one leg over the other. I then wrapped one arm around his shoulders.

I felt him wrap an arm around my back, resting his hand on my hip.

"Good, now, Ali, you're the human who doesn't realize Zak is a vampire. Zak, you're a vampire trying to seduce her and also wanting to bite her," Ashley said.

Seduce me?!

My face flushed, and Ashley laughed.

Zak just sat there, looking proud of himself.

"Just pretend we're not here Ali," Ashley started, still laughing. "I can't have you blushing and looking embarrassed," she added.

"Pretending you're not here won't help much," I said honestly, laughing.

Ashley laughed again and then sighed.

"Zak, help me out here," Ashley said.

I looked at Zak as he tilted his head up a bit to look at me, looking me straight in the eyes.

When he spoke, his voice was quiet, as if trying to talk so I'd be the only one to hear him.

"You look beautiful, and incredibly sexy, so you have no reason to be embarrassed. Just be you, remember?" Zak asked, referring to our conversation we had had on the day of the pool party.

Despite feeling the shyness, Zak looking into my eyes as he said these words had the same affect as that conversation and his attention had on the day of the pool party.

I felt beautiful and sexy.

"Alright…" I said softly, still looking at him.

Zak smiled.

"Alright, whenever you guys are ready then," Ashley said, after checking with the camera guy, who was responsible for the video footage, that he was ready.

His job was basically to film Zak and I acting out and transitioning between our poses, and the footage would be edited later.

I felt Zak's hand tighten it's grip on my hip slightly, and then while looking at me, he reached up with his free hand and cupped the side of my face.

His thumb lightly brushed down across my cheek, before he reached over to my lips and ran his thumb gently down over them, lightly pulling the lower one down.

His eyes never left mine, and he had the "predator watching its prey" look in them again.

It didn't take much on my part to block out the others – I didn't even hear when Ashley had started taking pictures - and just focus on Zak.

I reached up and gently rested my hand on Zak's forearm, near the crook of his elbow where it was bent, and without really realizing it, had the look of a woman being seduced across my face.

I kept my eyes on Zak's as his hand moved down, his fingertips slowly tracing down along the side of my neck, his eyes following his own fingers.

It felt like his fingertips were on fire.

His touch, even the lightest of touches, heated up my skin.

Zak's hand then traced along my collarbone toward my other shoulder, his head bowing slightly toward my shoulder and the crook of my neck.

I managed not to blush, considering the corset of the dress had my breasts pushed up, and he was closer to them now than he had ever been.

I felt Zak gently push my hair back over my shoulder, to expose my neck.

Instinctively, I closed my eyes and leaned my head back and to the side a bit, as if giving the vampire unknowingly dangerous access to my neck.

Zak leaned in closer to my neck, tilting his head somewhat as his eyes focused on my neck now.

I nearly gasped when I felt Zak's hand move back over to my opposite arm, his hand resting briefly on my shoulder, before his hand grazed down along my side.

Grazing over the side of my breast, my stomach, and down to my hip.

He continued moving his hand down past my hip and then ran his hand down along my thigh, stopping at my knee briefly before pushing the hem of my dress up slightly, grasping my thigh.

Sweet Jesus…

My breathing had increased quite a bit without my knowledge.

I forced myself not to sit there in shock, and followed his lead by sliding my hand up along his arm, lightly running my nails over his skin and then rested my hand on his shoulder.

I suddenly felt Zak's heated breath on my neck, as he opened his mouth to bare his fangs and leaned down as if to bite my neck.

Ashley's voice nearly caused me to jump out of my skin.

"That's great guys! If I can get you both to stand up now," Ashley said.

I opened my eyes and looked at Zak as he lifted his head and looked at me.

His eyes were dark with what I assumed was desire.

I took a bit of a deep breath.

My heart was absolutely racing.

I felt Zak's hand let go of my thigh, and he then carefully helped me stand up, his hands lightly holding my waist.

I stood up and stepped aside to let Zak stand up.

"Move over to the X on the floor there, in front of the wall. Ali in front, Zak behind her," Ashley said.

Zak's Point of View

I followed Ali over to the X that was marked with tape on the floor, and stood behind her as Ashley had instructed.

I didn't know how I was going to survive this shoot.

It hadn't taken much acting on my part to act out my "seduction" of Alicia.

And as usual, she had been beautiful, and sexy, and alluring.

And when she had run her nails along my skin…

Damn…

I just hoped I didn't go to far by running my hand down along her side and grasping her thigh.

If Ashley hadn't of spoke when she did, I most definitely would have been in trouble, as I had started getting a bit too much into it.

"Okay Zak, a bit more fawning over her, and then act as if you're biting her," Ashley said, as I saw Ceci come over and hand me a small, red, gel capsule.

"Just put that in your mouth and bite into it when you're ready for the blood," Ceci explained.

"Alright," I said, taking the capsule.

"Wait, he's allergic to red dye, won't that hurt him?" Alicia asked, looking concerned.

I smiled to myself.

She's worried about me...

"It's okay, it's just strawberry and chocolate syrup mixed together. No red dye in it," Ceci explained.

"Okay, good," Alicia said, looking relieved.

I smiled again and couldn't help myself from leaning forward and gently kissing her cheek.

I saw her look back at me and smile.

I smiled back at her as Ceci stepped back out of the way.

I put the gel capsule into my mouth, careful not to break it, and held it within my mouth.

I saw Alicia pull some of her hair back across her shoulders so it was hanging down in the front again.

She must of knew my pulling her hair back to expose her neck would be sexy for the camera.

"Whenever you're ready guys," Ashley said.

Alicia's Point of View

I stood with my arms at my sides, waiting for Zak to make the first move.

And make the first move he did.

I felt him step up behind me, wrapping an arm firmly around my waist and gently pulling my body back until it was pressed against his.

I swallowed back the lump that had formed in my throat.

I put my hand and arm over his, our hands resting on my hip.

I turned my head to the side to look at him and he looked at me, as I felt his other hand run down the length of the arm at my side. He then took my hand in his and lifted our hands up and reaching back, placed my hand on the back of his neck.

Without really realizing it, I automatically started lightly stroking his skin.

I watched him as he then used his hand to pull my hair back over my right shoulder, the one closer to him, and I closed my eyes as I leaned my head back against his shoulder, turning my head to the side a bit.

I felt Zak's hand gently cup the left side of my neck, and his hand on my hip tightened, as if he were holding me in place.

He bowed his head down toward my neck and I felt his heated breath against my skin once again, before I felt his lips press against my neck.

I couldn't stop the shiver from running down my spine.

The next thing I knew, he opened his mouth, latching onto my skin, very lightly running the tips of his fangs over my skin.

My lips parted slightly on their own accord.

I then felt the semi warm liquid of the fake blood running down the side of my neck and onto my chest.

It felt real.

I nearly felt my knees buckle when Zak lightly ran his tongue along my skin, licking up some of the fake blood, the action hidden from everyone else because he had his mouth on my neck still.

I gripped the back of his neck slightly.

Holy hell…

I found myself thankful for his allergy to red dye, and for having to use chocolate and strawberry syrup as a replacement.

"Awesome guys! Time to get Ali vamped up!" Ashley said.

Once again, I hadn't even heard her taking pictures.

I pulled my hand back from his neck, and lifted my other hand off his as he gently pulled back, fake blood covering his lips and teeth, and dripping slightly down his chin.

Why does that look so hot? I thought to myself.

I saw Ceci come over and hand each of us a damp towel.

"Thanks," Zak and I both ended up saying at the same time, causing us both to chuckle.

"It's a good thing real blood doesn't taste like this, or I might just be a vampire," Zak teased.

Ashley laughed.

I wiped the blood from my neck and chest as best as I could, before it reached my dress, as Zak wiped off his mouth and was then given a bottle of water so he could rinse his mouth.

"Alright girl, go get your vamp on," Ashley said.

I laughed and kept the towel on my neck as I headed toward the entrance of the dungeon.

"Looking forward to seeing you as a vampire, doll," Zak said.

I glanced back at him and he smirked at me.

I did my best not to seem shy as I replied.

"I'll try not to bite too hard," I said with a smile, mimicking his comment from the video he had sent earlier in the morning.

Zak grinned in response.
