Chapter 4

Weaknesses

Sam was glowing as she prepared for her date with John. Danny was down for the count and everything was going smoothly. Sam being who she is wore a slimming black dress with a zipper down the back. After all this was a special night. It's unusual for Sam to be nervous about something like this. Especially since she had known John for over a year now. Sam's eyes sparkled as she walked over to the mirror.

"Everything should be okay" she says to herself. "It's not like I haven't done this before. It's just been a while."

Sam's eyes drew big as a sudden gust of wind swept through the house. The cold sent her whole body into shivers. Looking around, she sees the balcony doors wide open, which is odd because it's still quite cold out for this time of year. Her curiosity consumes her as she walks over to close them wondering what could have caused the doors to open in the first place. She looks out to see nobody around. A few seconds later there's a knock on the door.

Sam's heart starts to race as she rushes to make sure everything is in place. Once she is reassured, she walks over and opens the door to see Caleb pretending to be John leaning in her doorway. He looks at her as if she was the definition of beauty.

"John" she says in a sweet tone. "I wasn't expecting you for another hour." At first he says nothing. "I know, but I thought I'd come early to make sure you weren't going through too much trouble… but it looks as if you did." A long pause stops between the two. "May I come in?" he asks.

An unsuspecting Sam grabs his hand and pulls him over to a table with one lit candle as its centerpiece. "I hope it's not too much" she says looking at her work. "Nonsense it's beautiful… but never as beautiful as you."

Sam's heart is sent a flutter. Just the way John talks to her is like the sweetest song being whispered in her ear.

"We should probably order dinner" she says pulling away to go get the phone.

As she calls for takeout, Caleb's eyes can't help but wander, taking a nice long look at Sam's perfectly shaped body.

"Livvie you haven't changed a bit" he thinks to himself.

*Sam hangs up the phone and turns back to see "John" staring at her*

"What?" she asks. Caleb's eyes then quickly break away, trying not to seem too obvious. "Nothing" he answers. "Nothing." "No you were staring at me" says a smiling Sam. "Okay you caught me." Caleb walks over to Sam locked in her eyes. "It's not like I have reason not to."

Pulling her close he strokes her beautiful dark brown hair. Becoming mesmerized by the feel of her silky soft skin, Caleb can't help himself but pull her in for a kiss. Sam's lips felt as blissful as they looked. Her heart was racing as he drew his fingers up and down the back of her dress. His touch sent her an un-forgetful feeling that she didn't want to end.

Both pull away. Caleb's eyes now filled with desire, take another long look at Sam. His heart aching for her. Caleb kisses her again, this time working his way down her neck. Sam's eyes roll back letting him tease her a while.

"Oh John" she begins. Caleb then stops and looks up at her. "I'm sorry" he says. Trying to act a little more like John he begins to pull away. Just as he does Sam grabs his arm and pulls him back in. Kissing him again, and this time Sam's passion was showing. She wanted this, and she wanted John.

Before she knew it, "John" and her were working their way up the stairs towards the bedroom. His beautiful long dark hair caught between her finger tips, and their lips still conjoined. His touch filled her body with electricity. This was everything she had been wanting.

Hearts beating fast, Caleb kicks open the bedroom door, pulling Sam over to the bed before taking a moment to breath. Caleb stood over Sam still locked on her beauty as his fingers drew down her back reaching for the zipper.

"Are you sure you want this?" he asks in reassurance. Sam's hands wander down his chest finding their way to the black silken shirt.

"What do you think?"

Her nimble fingers start to unbutton his shirt, leaving Caleb with a big smile on his face. One by one each button is released from its hole, until every last one is free. Sam pulls the shirt off his body, letting it fall to the floor. His body looked as if it had been photoshopped. Everything was perfect.

Kissing again, Caleb slowly unzips Sam's dress.

"This is all I've wanted for so long" he says as Sam holds up her dress. She gives him a smile before she lets the dress drop to the floor, revealing her perfectly shaped body wearing nothing but black laced lingerie, making Sam even more desirable in Caleb's eyes.

A shirtless Caleb grabs Sam by the hips and slowly backs her onto the bed. She falls back with open arms and lands softly looking up at a person she thinks is John. Caleb stands over her adoringly then falls on top of her entering another kiss.

Sam's arms wrap around Caleb as the kiss proceeds and then grab hold of his luscious locks. Caleb continues to kiss her as her grip tightens. Seconds later Caleb's lips release from Sam's, as her body goes limp. Caleb stands again, just looking at her half naked, unconscious body.

Caleb gives her a half smile then walks over to the mirror.

"And when she does…" he starts to quote. Caleb reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring and puts it back on his finger. He then looks up into the mirror to see his glowing red eyes.

"It will be too late."
