Rubii walked hand in hand with Astarian, carrying on about silly stories from her child hood and his as well. She felt so light, almost like she were to let go of his hand she would float right up to the stars. He was so sweet, listened to her prattle on about everything and nothing. She loved talking to him, how his hand felt in hers. He was so much taller than her, truthfully that's not hard to do, most teenagers are taller than her.

They arrived at her door step, she dreaded this goodbye. She didn't want this night to end. As she began to make her goodbye she decided to be bold and nonverbally ask for a goodnight kiss. She did not expect how quickly he responded and how her body answered his. The second his lips touched his her whole body was set alight, she felt like she was being consumed by flames and drowning at the same time.

His lips were so soft as they danced against hers. She felt one of his hands ghost up her shoulder, across her collarbone, trail up her neck to the back of her head and tangle into her dark hair. Admittedly she hadn't tried to let her enjoyment fall from her lips between their kisses but she couldn't help it. He knew how to touch her, how to kiss her. His skin was slightly more chilled than her own was, her face was hot her lips full and hot from his usage. She felt like her heart was going to explode out of her chest.

His lips tasted like the red wine they had shared at dinner and… blood? Perhaps from his steak. It didn't matter to her, he tasted and smelled intoxicating to her. She involuntarily shifted her body closer to his, partially hoping things could go further. She ran her hands from they had come to rest, arms around his neck, hands hanging between his shoulders. She ran her hands from his shoulders up to his neck and up into his beautiful soft silver hair. From deep within his chest she could feel a rumble. She could hear his labored breathing and hear a deep almost feral sound escape through his throat hissing past his teeth and out his soft lips between the onslaught of kisses.

Oh… well she wasn't expecting that. 'Did he just growl at me?' the thought passed through her head for only a brief moment before she continued what she had started, tangling her hands in his hair. If things continued at this rate, they would both be in her bed faster than you can say "Yes Sir." After she laced her fingers in his hair, he pulled out of the kiss his hand sliding from the base of her skull down to the back of her neck and she let her head tilt over as a gentle moan escaped her lips and he started placing gentle kisses down her chin to her neck.

His mouth was hot and felt like fire against her chilled skin, her whole body was hot and her dress and shorts felt exceptionally uncomfortable and damp. His body was so close to hers his mouth at her neck, kissed, nipped, sucked and licked. She was sure she would have a mark from what she definitely knew to be the recipe for a hickey. The more he licked and sucked the wetter she got, she had the passing thought to just grab him by the shirt and yoink him into her house and after ripping off all of his cloths, end the night with them tangled up with each other in every possible way in the comfort of her bed.

It seemed like he had the same idea as well but just when she was getting up the nerve to grab him and pull him inside, he broke away from her neck and they stood there staring at each other. Cheeks flushed, breathing strained. "Rubii, as much as id absolutely love to finish this in a more private location, I don't want us to get to carried away too quickly, perhaps we can continue this after a second date?" Astarian huffed out. Her brain was whining, begging and pleading with her to invite him in so they could just wear each other out over and over again. Unfortunately her better judgement got the best of her. 'you just met this guy and you're already wanting to fuck his brains out, well he would be the one fucking your brains out… anyway.. Rubii, no, at least have some decorum and wait till you go out again, ya know get a good baseline for the kind of person he is.'

She absolutely hated the rational part of her brain at times. How bad could it be to just give in to carnal desires every once in a while, right? "I understand, I mean I don't usually behave like that, I don't know what came over me. I think I need a cold shower now, hahaha, but yes, I'm free whenever you are." she managed to squeak out, pushing her desire down, face and chest flushed from his ministrations. Where he had left his mark was throbbing, as was other parts below, begging for him to return his lips to it once again while also wondering how his mouth would feel on other places of her body. Her whole body shivered, Rubii mentally shook herself back to reality awaiting his response.

"Well Miss Rubii, I will see you tomorrow night, where were going is a surprise, just meet me outside your door at nine. Have a wonderful night my dear. Sleep well." He stated with a gentle bow. The way he spoke, how he talked to her, the pet names… she was a soft ball of clay he could mold into whatever he wanted with just the simplest of statements. She smiled "Goodnight Astarian, I look forward to our date tomorrow night, you sleep well as well." As she watched him turn to head out, to what she presumed was his place, she couldn't help but notice his pants looked awfully uncomfortable to him.

She turned, unlocked her door, stepped inside and with a gentle 'click' shut her door. She stood with her back to the door resting her head on the hard wood. Closing her eyes and reliving the moment they shared on her doorstep. As she stood there deep in thought, her mind replayed every moment in slow motion. Remembering how his lips felt against hers how he smelled and tasted, the way his mouth and tongue felt against her neck. She snapped her eyes open quickly as she ran her hand across the spot on her neck where he left his little gift. Inspecting it with the pads of her fingers, she was feeling for any puncture marks. She had her suspicions about him being a vampire, now she wasn't so sure. He had her pinned to the door and her neck on full display yet he didn't bite her..

'Maybe I was mistaken, letting my mind run away from me.' she mentally scolded herself. Now that she thought about it, really thought about it, he did feel colder than she was, his movements were much more calculated and graceful than hers. "NO, I'm not doing this! I am not going to rummage around and try to find something wrong with him. For once I'm just going to things happen at their own pace!" she was furious with herself.

This guy, Astarian, was everything she had ever wanted in a partner. He was patient, kind, sweet, attentive, gentlemanly, when she moved he moved. Like they were one in the same. She stepped away from the front door with a groan of irritation. Kicking off her shoes and stripping as she walked through her house and towards the bathroom. She was indeed going to take that cold shower she mentioned. Gods knows she needed it after their little "interaction" on the front porch.

Being completely unbothered to even grab a towel or pajamas she quickly took a very cold and much needed shower before walking to her bedroom, flopping naked and wet onto her bed and wrapping up in her sheet. As she lay there all she could think of was how she wished the night would have ended had she been just a little more ballsy. Her fantasy plagued her mind as she drifted off to sleep.

DREAM*

"Rubii, my darling, you are absolute perfection. You take me into you so well, Gods, your so tight" Astarian moans as he thrusts into her. His crimson eyes glowing as he buries himself to the hilt inside Rubii. His hands, light as a breeze, snaking their way from around her hips up her stomach and to her chest. He runs one hand up between her breasts to wrap around the back of her neck to lift her welcoming shoulder and clavicle to his lips. Gripping the back of her head as he gently tilts her head to one side peppering needy sloppy kisses along her jawline before he locks in on the perfect spot on the side of her neck. "My love, May I, Pretty please?" He whispers as he continues his sensual thrusts which cause cries of pleasure to cascade from her lips. "YES, PLEASE!" Rubii moans as she buries her fingernails into his back as she reached what was sure to be one of many climaxes. "Such a good girl for me, My Rubii, My Treasure…. ALL MINE.." he growls out, lust coating is every word. He opens his mouth and she sees his fangs, feels him place his mouth on her neck, squeezing her eyes closed anticipating the pain of his bite.

DREAM END*

Everything begins to shift to light and she opens her eyes to the familiar sights of her room. She whimpers as the realization settles on her that she is alone in her bed. "Gods.. Why did I have to wake up right at the good part?!" she says loudly in frustration. Balling her fists up in her sheet, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She sits up in her bed, her hair all tussled, sticking out in every direction as if she did indeed spend the night in bed with Astarian, entangled in the throws lust and passion.

Laughing to herself, "I'm sure if he were to see me like this, he'd definitely reconsider even wanting to spend the night with me hahaha, I look like I was rode hard and put away wet" giggling she climbs out of bed and pulls on a tank top and shorts. With a nice full body stretch she started on her way to the kitchen to make her usual cup of coffee. A spring in her step and mind on cloud nine, she was so looking forward to this evening and their 'mystery date.' As she turned on the tv and sat on the couch her phone started ringing, she could tell by the music it was her bestie, Dante.

R: Hey D! What's up?

D: Oh not much gurl, how was your date with your mystery guy?

R: oooh, Dante.. It was so nice. His name is Astarian and he's absolutely amazing and sweet.

D: Good, I'm glad to hear it! Did you two end up spending the night together, I'm just askin' cause your location said you were home pretty early for a late date. Gurl was he hot? Tell me he was hot, I need ALL THE TEA!

R: Oh no, we didn't spend the night together. We just had dinner then he walked me home, I kissed him goodnight and well… things started getting heated up. He broke off the kiss and we're going out again tonight. D he kisses so good, like mmmmmph. I could get addicted to his lips.

D: Going out again tonight, ooooo Gurl, was it like a little peck on the cheek kinda kiss or..?

R: D, im telling you, the way this man kissed me, I almost grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him into my bedroom, and you know me I don't just do stuff like that, I at least wait till at least the third date.

D: Oh damn gurl, so what your sayin is that smooch was like intense.

R: Yeah, I had to take a cold shower, legitimately, he had me all kinds of wound up. And… we're going out again tonight, I have no idea where we're going but I'm excited. D I want this guy so bad I can taste it. I mean hell I even had a pretty spicy dream about him last night. *Sighs*

D: Well, does he make you fell happy?

R: In every possible way thus far D, I really see this going somewhere.

D: Well sis if he hurts you, imma stab a bish, I know you know that but I love you, you're like my little sister and I promised mom and dad that I'd always keep you safe.

R: I know D, and I love you too. Thank you for always being there for me. I donno what I'd do without you.

D: Alright gurl, imma let ya go, let me know how 'spicy time' goes. You know I love to hear the tea.

R: Alright D, talk to you later, bye bye.

Rubii hung up the phone with Dante, her mind racing, contemplating just what Astarian had in store for their date this evening. 'Did she even still have any condoms?' The question bounced around in her head. Deciding to check out her bedside drawer in search of protection, just in case things with Astarian went that to spicy town. 'I mean I really like the guy and we'd have super cute babies, but I don't think that needs to happen on our second date' she chuckled as she pulled open the drawer and found her hidden box of condoms.

"And.. Of course they are expired." rolling her eyes and sighing, "I guess we'll just have to pick some up tonight if we decided to have some fun." She still had several hours before her date tonight and she was feeling a bit peckish. Rubii turned her attention to making herself some lunch. Making her way to the kitchen she cracked open her fridge only to discover that she really had nothing that sounded appealing to her hungry stomach.

'Well I suppose I'll just have to order some takeout' she thought to herself as she picked up her phone and started scrolling through her takeout app to find something that sounded good. "Too bad I cant just order Astarian and have him for lunch" she chuckled. Moments later there was a knock on her front door. Putting her phone down on the couch seat next to where she had planted herself while scrolling. Rubii made her way to the door and gave a quick glance through her peep hole and saw a delivery man..?? "That's weird." she mumbled as she unlocked the door and greeted the delivery man. "Hello Miss, I have a delivery from Sushi Mi for Miss Rubii." he addressed her.

"Yeah, that's me, but I didn't order anything." Rubii responded. Looking confused she looked at the man and asked "Who is this from?" The man smiled at her and responded "Oh its no problem at all miss Rubii, the ticket says it was paid for and sent by a Mr….. Astarian?? There's a note on here that says 'I hope you slept well Darling, have some lunch on me, I can't wait to see you tonight.' that's all it says" he smiled and handed Rubii the bag of food and with a quick nod he turned and left.

Smiling from ear to ear she took the bag and sat down on the couch. "If this man isn't careful I'm going to fall for him even more." She said as she started pulling out her food. Enclosed in the bag was a California roll, a spicy tuna roll, two eggrolls, two crabrangoons, and some steamed pot stickers. As she looked at the spread before her she thought ' is there any possible way this man could be any more perfect. Gods I think I'm falling in love with him.' After she finished what she could of her lunch she decided to take a small nap, setting some alarms on her phone so she could get up in time to get dressed for her second date.

"I really went all out on the first date, I'm going to have to step it up for this one. I think ill wear that slutty looking little ruby colored dress with the sequins tonight, see how long he can keep his hands off me" she laughed then with a yawn and a stretch curled up into her blankets and fell asleep
