Ok ladies (and gents) here it is. The second part of this story. It's kinda short, sorry for that, but I promiss the next part will be nice and long...

Author notes: This is a multichapter kind of thing... and for the first time I'm trying out the first person view when writing.

Rated R for safety reasons...

Disclaimer: If you recognize it then I don't own it. A few of the characters are though, such as Cat, Mia, Maria and Tina. Any resemblance between them and any living, dead or fictional characters is purely coincidental!

This is the first time I've written Josef so please, be kind... but still, comments are the only food my muses accept so please... send any comments you have, good or bad

Josef

Usually I always greet the freshies when they arrive. This time, I had a previous engagement when they arrived. As I sauntered into the room all the freshies were already spread out in the room. The sun was setting on the horizon and my guests had started to arrive. As always, I greeted them at the door. One of my exclusives, acting as my hostess for the night, draped over my arm. The guests were all the usual A-list vampires that normally created fertile grounds for an excellent party. Tonight, the prospects made me slightly bored for some reason. Even Gina bored me tonight.

As I listened with half an ear to something she said I let my eyes wander around the room. At first I merely skimmed past her but something drew my eyes back to her. She was standing slightly apart from the group of freshies nearest to her. They were obviously friends of her since she made an effort to smile whenever their eyes landed on her. But, as soon as they looked away, her smile faded and she looked nervous. I made some general noises toward Gina when she seemed to be waiting for a reply but kept my focus on the girl. I recognized her friends from other partied I had been to. They belonged to the agency I hired for events such as these. I had never seen her before though.

I nodded as Gina excused herself and I started walking casually around the room, edging my way closer to the girl, stopping here and there to greet a friend or simply make a comment in an ongoing conversation before moving on. All the while I watched her, trying my best to be inconspicuous about it. Her dark hair flowed in soft curls around her face and down her back. The curls covered her neck making it almost impossible for me to see any bite marks. Her face glowed. That's the best word for it I decided. It was as if she was lit up from within. It was faint at the moment, probably due to her nerves. I watched as she edged herself away from her friends, slowly making her way into a corner of the room that was slightly hidden by a large plant.

I allowed myself the pleasure of roaming her body with my eyes as she moved. I have seen some scantily clad ladies in my days but that dress! It really should be outlawed. It caressed her body like a second skin, showing off every delightful curve. It also showed quite a bit of her nicely rounded legs and her deep cleavage.

"Found something you like, Josef?" I heard Beth's voice from behind me. Quickly I turned around and saw the amused looks in her and Mick's eyes. Obviously they had noticed me staring at the girl. I felt embarrassed for the firs time in a great long while and thanked the lords vampires can't blush.

"Why, you offering if I have?" I ask, raising an eyebrow, hiding my embarrassment behind my usual flirting behaviour. The surprised look in her eyes is payment enough but I cringe when I see the hint of anger deep in Mick's eyes.

"Only joking, man" I say to him then turn away. I'm definitely off my game tonight.

"She seems new" I can hear Mick say behind my back. I silently thank the man for being such a gentleman not to call me on my coarse behaviour to his lady. I simply nod in reply as I watch the girl lean against the wall. She has already turned down two vampires, which is definitely not common for freshies. When she raises a hand to lift her hair from her neck I can feel my feet starting to move toward her out of their own accord. From a distance I can hear Mick and Beth chuckle behind me but for once I don't give a damn.
