Chapter 15; An embrace

Anne just woke, wondering if it was night or day outside. She raised from the bed and opened one of the heavy curtains. I was still day, and she could tell it was dusk for if was getting darker every minutes. It was probably around 5 o'clock, since it was almost winter. Though, she had no real idea what time it could be, for she had lost track of the time since she was Dracula's prisoner. She suddenly felt two very cold hands, resting on her shoulders. She didn't jerked away, she knew who it was. She was scared but decided not to show it to him anymore.

-At night, the whole world turned into our kingdom my love. Dracula murmured to her ear, making her shiver. You and I, will be there to lead them into a new world.

-You know I don't want it. So leave me alone.

-You know I won't leave you Anne, and that thought not only scare you, but it excite you.

On those words, Dracula slid his arms around the young woman's waist from behind. She didn't resist, exactly as he thought.

-Tell me my love, why aren't you struggling against my embrace? He asked softly

-Because if I do, you will hurt me or kill me. She said, her voice trembling a little

-No no no. You know perfectly well I wont harm you in any way. You aren't fighting me for you love being in my embrace. Stop lying to yourself Anne.

As if it poked her, she pushed him away and sat on the edge of the bed. Dracula sighed deeply, though, he knew he had been right, for now she seemed troubled and quite lost in her thoughts.

Turning to the dresser and closet, Dracula retrieved some clothes for her coming from her apartment. When did he brought those here? She asked to herself. He had now a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a bra, panties and socks in his hands and gave the clothes to her.

-Dress yourself, I'm taking you out. He smiled

-I…I don't understand. Why?

-You need some fresh air. Would you like to go shopping? I heard women of your time like those things. And since I didn't bring all your clothes here, you will need new ones.

Anne nodded. She didn't really wanted to go out with that…thing. Yet, she thought maybe she would get a chance to escape while she is out. Dracula left the room, even if it was obvious that he wanted to stay to watch her as she undress. He had already seen her naked, in his wolf form, but he knew that in that man form, she wouldn't appreciate.

Reluctantly, Anne undressed. She had lost some weight, she could tell by the way her jeans were floating around her legs. And that t-shirt had once been very tight and now fit her perfectly. She hated to admit it, but she really needed new clothes and really wanted to go shopping.
