Chapter 12

In a split second Anna was pinned to the wall with Dracula's hand wrapped around her throat and his body crushing hers. She gasped for breath as he glared at her.

"Disgusting did you say, my dear?" he whispered dangerously. "No one insults me like that! Not even you! I'll show you disgusting!"

With out warning he thrust her hair aside and bit at her throat. Anna gasped, expecting him to turn her. He bit her, but not with his fangs. His normal human teeth bit at her veins. She could feel hickeys growing where his teeth bit. It hurt so badly that she moaned. His bites grew gentler and gentler until Anna found them to be almost pleasurable. By then they had sunk to the floor. Dracula's body was firmly on top of hers. She could feel him in between her legs, around her stomach, and on her chest. He was all over her.

"Are you hurt, Anna?" he whispered. She shook her head. "Good."

Once more he went for her lips. Anna found herself kissing him harder. He pushed harder and harder until Anna felt her body almost swimming with pleasure. 'Wait a minute!' she thought. 'What am I doing? I shouldn't be doing this! I have to stay a virgin!' With a gasp and a punch in the chest Anna got out from under Dracula and stood up. She gripped the bed post as she glared at him. He hissed at her demanding that she explained herself.

"If you DARE to try and seduce me again I'll find that weapon that you threw away and stab you with it!" she snapped. "I'm still a virgin and I intend to stay one until my wedding night! And it certainly won't be with you!" Dracula hissed one last time before making his fangs go away.

"That's what you think, Anna!" he said as he stood up and went to the door. "You won't be allowed to leave for another twenty four hours. I suggest you don't waste that time on useless escape attempts." Anna blinked in confusion. She was going to get released?

"You're letting me go tomorrow?" she asked. Dracula sighed and turned around.

"Yes, Anna," he said. "That's part of the game. I can only keep you for two days. It's been one day already. I'll let you have the second day to rest. If you try to escape before the time's up… let's just say I have ways of dealing with that." Dracula walked away, locking the door as he did so. Anna clenched her fists.

"After what you almost got me to do I'm not taking orders from you, Count!" she whispered. "I'll try to escape as much as I jolly well please!"
