Enjoy! ^^ Oh, and if you have time, scribble a review, it will make me all tingly jingly with glee! .

I admit that never before had I travelled so fast without a car or any other sort of a vehicle. Only now did I realize the true speed of a vampire. Eric cleared the distance, which I usually covered in about 45 minutes or half an hour, if I rushed a bit more, in some mere 5 minutes. I felt rather embarrassed I ever thought I could be equal to a vampire speed-vise. Not even nearly. Once again, I found myself wondering how old he truly was. Perhaps, I'll ask him if we ever meet again, which is highly doubtful. I'm coming nowhere near that club of his. I've had enough of vampire run-ins for another hundred years. I'll have to remember to avoid them more carefully next time.

Meanwhile, Eric halted and put me down on the floor right in front of my apartment doors. I lived in a 12 storey building on the highest floor in the older part of the town. I looked at the doors of my apartment and smiled. I liked this apartment. It was comfy and suited my needs. I turned around to face Eric. He stood there looking all so charming and calm, yet, his eyes watching me hungrily. My lips curved into a seductive smile. I will definitely call him the next time I need a taxi ride. Oh, well, jokes aside… just as soon as parted my lips a bit, he crashed down onto me, pushing me against the wooden doors, kissing me in wild passion. His hands roamed around my body, his leg parting mine and I raised my left leg, putting it around his waist, answering his kiss with the same level of passion, if not even hotter.

For a while we just made out on the threshold of my apartment and I could feel his cold body slightly warm up from lust and the heat of my own body. As a succubus, I had this particular trait of my body getting hotter the more aroused I became. At the very beginning, when I was still but a young and inexperienced demon, it was quite a problem – I'd crisp all my lovers to death before even finishing up. It was only later that I realized there was no need for me to actually have real intercourse with men if all I wanted to do was feed on them. All I needed to do was plant vivid dreams in their heads and suck their life force to my heart's content while they experienced the most astounding and divine sex in their whole lifetimes. But now, it was all different and the sensations running through my body were incredibly strange. It was as if my body was slowly heating up and warming his cold one while the chilliness of Eric's body cooled down the heat of mine. I doubted he himself felt it. I heard that vampires feel neither heat nor cold. Who knew, though.

We finally parted our lips and Eric smiled at me, his hand reaching out to my leg and gently lowering it down to the ground. I panted a bit heavily, my lungs taking in the air around me greedily. I was a demon and could hold my breath far longer than any human ever would, but unlike vampires I still needed the oxygen to keep my body functioning normally. Good for him that he could go kissing without any air to breathe. I, for once, needed my supposedly regular intake of oxygen. I wondered how his human lovers did not die from lack of air.

"Don't keep me waiting, Lily," he breathed out huskily and I smiled at him, reaching into my pocket for the key.

Revenge Plan, Stage 2: Complete.

I turned my back to him, pushing the key into the keyhole and turning it slowly until I heard the silent click of the lock. I took out the key, pushed the door open and strode in, leaving the doors widely ajar. I threw the keys onto the nearby table quite nonchalantly and turned around. I stood by the opened doors and stared straight into his eyes that now shone a deep blue. What a beautiful eye color, I thought to myself. If only he was just a man… No, wait, what am I thinking?

"Invite me in," Eric said in his deep, sexy voice, which usually allowed no objections.

I put my left hand on the opened doors, my right hand landing on my hips, my expression that of pure innocence.

"Oh, yeah… vampires need to be invited or they can't enter, right?" I said in a thoughtful tone.

Eric raised his brow questioningly at me, but replied calmly, "Indeed."

"What a pity… for you," I smirked.

Surprised he glanced at my eyes and read nothing more but sheer mock.

"Invite me in," he grumbled, his eyes shining a deeper hue of blue. Perhaps, he was trying to glamour me. I heard vampires can do that to humans to make them obey. Well, not gonna work on me.

I smiled one of my most charming smiles as I answered slowly and stressing each word, "No. Way. In. Hell."

For a moment he just stared at me baffled as if he couldn't believe the words I just said and then he suddenly glared at me, all his passion and lust changed by a different kind of craving.

"You lied to me," he said in a low husky voice.

"Big deal," I scoffed. "So what are you gonna do? Sue me?"

"You deceived me," he continued spitefully, glaring at me.

I glared back at him as I hissed, "Bite me."

He kept quiet this time, but I could feel his hatred and rage almost physically as he literally drilled a hole in my forehead with his eyes.

"Ah, if only eyes could kill," I noted sarcastically and his glare deepened even more. He was burning with anger and hatred for me and I was sure if not for that stupid invitation rule, his fangs would already be sucking me dry.

I chuckled, savoring every second of his little humiliation. After all, he got seduced and wrapped around a finger by a mere human woman… He's been had. Hard. Of course, I was not some mere human woman, but he had no need to know that. Anyways, serves him right.

I narrowed my eyes on him in mock, my lips curving into a grin, as I stated, "Never hurt a woman's pride. MY pride."

Then, I flashed a cute smile at the still silent vampire and added, "But I did have lots of fun tonight, Eric. So, thank you for the ride home and… bye-bye."

And with those words I slammed the door right in front of his nose, turned the lock and walked away finally feeling completely and utterly satisfied.

Revenge Plan, Final Stage: Complete.

My satisfaction did not last long though for as soon as I entered my bedroom, taking my high heels off my feet, I noticed an ominous shadow hanging just in front of my window. His eyes stared at me half angrily half mockingly as if saying I could never run away from him.

Eric.

I stared back at him for a few moments as I mumbled, "Isn't this like the 12th floor?"

Shit. Didn't know vampires could fly too. I grumbled as I walked to the window and flashed a smile at him.

"Once again," I said out aloud, knowing he could hear me quite well. Even too well. "Bye-bye, Eric."

And with those words I drew the heavy night curtains, hiding his figure from my sight. He can levitate there in the cold night air until the very dawn, I wouldn't care less.

It was time to skip town and settle down somewhere in a quieter place. Preferably, with no vampires around.
