Laughter fills the bedroom and wakes me from a deep sleep. After wiping my eyes to focus, I see Claus, with a woman. A woman I know. A woman I loathe. How could he?Because he is trying to hurt you,Lilith reminds me.
Evangeline has been a thorn in my side ever since we were young vamps. We were created around the same time and grew up into our adult vampire states together. She always wanted Claus but knew he had been promised to me. When we were younger and she would make comments about stealing Claus from me, we laughed and I took it as teasing. But as we aged and I began to grow feelings for Claus, the teasing stopped, and I realized she had been serious from the beginning.
I don’t say a word as I watch the two of them. Claus slowly undoes the buttons on Evangeline’s blouse. He nuzzles her neck and shows his fangs. My heart breaks. He’s going to drink from her.No!I scream silently.Please, Claus, don’t do this!I beg. But just as my plea fills my head, Claus bites down onto Evangeline and moans. Silent tears fall from my cheeks.
I shake my head, wiping the tears away. I brought this all upon myself. I knew that if I came back and tried to win Claus over, there was a huge risk that he would say no and eventually break my heart. It was bad enough losing my empire, but this is so much worse.
When Claus is done drinking, he turns to face me. I see his vindictive grin in the candlelight as Evangeline’s blood drips from the side of his mouth. And unfortunately, I am sure he sees my tears. I open my thoughts to him. “You have finally broken me. You win!”
His eyes grow sad for a moment but then he turns to Evangeline. “Hey, baby,” he says huskily. “Tell me how much you want me.”
“Oh, Claus, I have wanted you for so long. Please don’t make me wait any longer.” She looks over at me and grins.
“Bitch!”
“Now, now, Serena. Be nice!”Claus tells me, but I want nothing more than to drain Evangeline dry and slice her head off. He turns back toward Evangeline, and they talk softly. Claus tells her all the erotic things he’s going to do to her, and she reciprocates.
I feel sick and look away. My thoughts scream at him, “I may have to listen to this, but I don’t have to watch it.”
“Oh, yes you do!”Claus yells.“And remember, no masturbating. If you do, you will be punished.”Doesn’t he realize he is already punishing me?
Claus dims the lights while Evangeline undresses. When she is completely naked before him, Claus removes his own clothes. He is magnificently handsome, muscular in all the right places. And to think, just a couple of weeks ago, it was me having sex with Claus. I’m so angry with him, hurt and defeated.
“I love you, Serena.”Wait, what? He walks to Evangeline and fondles her breasts. He leans in and sucks on one breast while fondling the other. He’s so tender with her.
This is killing me! Is this how he shows me he loves me?Bullshit!
Claus forces Evangeline down to her knees and holds out his cock. I watch on as Evangeline strokes his dick with her fingers and then slowly blows him. She moves up his shaft with her tongue and fingers his balls. I can see how much she loves him by her gentle touch. The more I watch them, the more jealous I become.
Claus grabs Evangeline’s hair to encourage her lips back and forth along his dick. She places her hands on his ass and grips him hard as she aggressively sucks him off. He groans. Even though jealousy is raging my brain, I try to fight off the urge to touch myself. Claus’s moans tell me he is about to come, and Evangeline realizes it too. She quickly stands and walks to the bed. She lies back and looks at me in triumph.“Bitch!”
Claus kneels on the bed between Evangeline’s legs. He spreads them wide as he closes in, her legs hanging over his arms as he spreads her pussy lips. He licks her clit slowly at first, as if savoring every moment. Evangeline closes her eyes and moans. And then, he devours her, as if she had the best pussy he has ever tasted. When Evangeline screams in pleasure, Claus stops and climbs on top of her. He glances over at me, and lust shines in his eyes. Watching me the entire time, he eases his dick inside of Evangeline. She winces in pain. Claus is huge. He is gentle at first but then grows impatient and thrusts with full strength, the full length of his cock disappearing inside her. Evangeline cries in pain, but he ignores it. He thrusts again and again, and each time his balls slap her pussy lips. The pain is obviously gone, as Evangeline is purring in pleasure.
Claus continues to force his dick in deeper and deeper. He puts his arms around her and embraces her as he rams into her over and over again. Evangeline is clearly lost in the pleasure. She wraps her arms around Claus and digs her nails into his back. They lean into each other and kiss passionately. He continues to pound into her, but he is kissing her neck, her face, and her lips. Evangeline grabs his ass and pulls him close, encouraging him to go deeper. As Claus comes, he leans in and offers his neck to Evangeline, encouraging her to drink from him. In that moment, everything changes. I can no longer imagine a future with this man, nor rule at his side. As Evangeline drinks from the sweet nectar I have grown to love so much, my decision is firmly made.
I will fight him with everything I got. And I will win!
When Evangeline finishes drinking, Claus says, “Get dressed and get out!”
Evangeline looks hurt and offended, and frankly, I can’t say I blame her. Tonight I have seen Claus’s true colors. I no longer feel anything for him except for anger. I want to destroy him.
After Evangeline leaves, Claus goes into the bathroom and the shower turns on. I have no desire to speak with him when he returns, so I lie down in my cage and fall asleep. Tomorrow, I’ll begin my plan to regain my empire, my self-esteem, and my integrity. Tomorrow, I take it all back.
