DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:
She was here. My darling, beautiful Cassidy was here in my arms. I knew I could feel her. I knew I could feel her heartbeat. That heart of hers was what I had grown to cherish. I must admit I was surprised that she actually came. Surprising as it was, the dress she was wearing was even more to my eyes. An angel. She was more luring than ever. I wanted more than anything to lead her back to my chamber and forget this meaninglessBall.
"Vladislaus…" I heard her breathe. My lips curved upward and I brought her closer to my chest, inhaling her scent desperately. I trailed my hand down her side and caressed her curvaceous hip. She gasped in pleasure and leaned against me. I lowered my lips to her neck once more to taste the sweetness of her tender skin. "You came…" I whispered into her hair.
She said nothing as I trailed my lips down her exposed shoulder. I savored the taste of her creamy white skin between my lips, only imagining what her blood would taste like. I confess I'm almost happy at the fact that she came to the Ball. They could be quite dull at times. Seeing the same faces and talking about the same old things gets tiring after a century or two. She would definitely make this time worthwhile.
I closed my eyes and gripped her hips, spinning her around to face me. She let out a shuddering breath as I pulled her chest up to my own, her perfect breasts heaving with her every breath. I gently touched her thigh and slowly, sensuously dragged my hand up her hip, onto her waist, over her chest, and between her breasts. I reached her neck and raised my eyes to watch her expression. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing in anticipation.
I grinned at the power I held over this beautiful creature. I tenderly brushed her cheek and reached the top edge of her mask. I slowly pulled it down her face and let it drop to the floor. Her eyelids fluttered open and she parted her lips in surprise. I did the same with my mask and lowered my head to hers, crushing my lips onto hers. She moaned and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I growled and walked forward, pushing her up against the wall. She gasped into my lips before I parted her lips with my tongue. My hands wandered over her precious body and her little hands rubbed my chest desperately. I had to have her. I had to get her out of here so I could take her. I grasped her hand and tried to pull myself away from those lips. She let out a shaky breath when I pulled away and I smirked.
"Come." I said seductively. She went to come with me without hesitation, but her eyes got a sudden look. A look of sudden realization. I frowned as she pulled her hand away from mine and crossed her arms. I tilted my head in confusion. "Who is Patricia?"
CASSIDY'S POINT OF VIEW:
He stared at me in disbelief. I began to tap my foot impatiently. Is he not going to answer me? He continued to stare at me, a surprised smile appearing on his face. "Well?" I asked finally. "Well, what?" he asked with a slight smirk. I narrowed my eyes and said, "Don't tell me you don't remember her, because she certainly remembers you!"
He averted his eyes from mine and let them fix on something or someone else in the crowd. I turned around with a frustrated sigh and landed my eyes on that someone he was staring at. Patricia. Red heat flooded my cheeks and my fists clenched as I heard him say amusedly, "Does she now?"
I almost smacked him. "Yes! She remembers you! Almost a little too much! So much that I can almost feel the last impression she had of you those wonderful 125 years ago!" I was breathing frantically by now. He was just about as stunned as I was at my sudden outburst, but it needed to be said. "There is no need to shout, my darling." He said smoothly. "I'm not shouting!" I shouted furiously. He merely chuckled and took a few sensual steps toward me. I mustn't let my guard down. I kept my chin up and threw him a defiant look before turning my back to him.
I soon felt his presence right behind him and I could feel the cold radiating from hims body. His arms reached up and grasped my shoulders, rubbing them gently. I pursed my lips so I wouldn't moan in ecstasy. "Am I detecting a bit of…jealousy from your beautiful mouth, Cassidy?" He asked slyly. I was about to face him and give him a few words off my mind, but he quickly wrapped his arms around my waist, preventing me from moving at all.
"Jealous?" I hissed impatiently as he brushed his lips against the sensitive spot behind my ear. "Come now, my love. Don't deny it." He persisted against my hair. I gave an outraged laugh and said, "What are talking about denying? I'm not denying anything!" His arms tightened a bit around my waist and then came his cool reply, "Another denial." My mouth dropped open in shock. "Wha…"
Before I could protest or say anything for that matter, I was spun around with ferocity and being kissed hardly on the lips. My eyes were wide as Dracula kissed me and I could do nothing but stand there. He pulled away suddenly, leaving me breathless, and grabbed my hand. "Let us dance." I gaped at him as if he were crazy. "You just can't end this conversation by seducing me into dancing with you, Count!" I insisted, jabbing my finger into his chest.
"Why not?" He asked with a small smile. I was about to answer when I just happened to look over his shoulder. My eyes widened and my heartbeat sped up as I saw Marishka and Verona gliding over to the punch bowl. Oh no! They cannot see me! They mustn't! Ithen flashed Dracula a quick smile before saying hurriedly, "You are absolutely right! Let's dance!"
