Josey’s mind went blank.
She was excited by his words. He was exciting. He made her heart race, her panties wet. She had only met him early in the day. Their relationship had gone from zero to sixty but she yearned to straddle him right then and there in his car. Where ever he would f**k her, she wanted to let him.
That feeling terrified her. Her body was willing to dominated by a stranger. [Ahhhh..what the fuck.]
"We should take a step back. We did a lot together as strangers. Would you be okay with taking a two week breather?" Her words chilled her to the bone. “What if he feels dejected and never wants to see me again. That would break my heart. “ She fretted.
“Cofer, what we feel right now in the moment may only be lust. I want love.” Josey continued.
Cofer squirmed in the driver's seat as if restless and unhappy with her response. He took out his dimensional speaker (DS) and started typing what looked like a message.
He sighed, "2 weeks from today at noon. I will pick you up for our first official date,okay?”
Josey tried to deflate her happiness when she responded but her eyes definitely betrayed her.
“Do you have a dimensional speaker?" he asked.
"Yes I do. I have never used it though."
"Take down my location number and send me a message, okay?"
"Will do."
Josey got out of his car and ran into the house. She quickly explained to her parents why she was late. They looked at each other in bewilderment and before they could speak, she ran off to her room.
After a shower and dinner, she needed to figure out how to work her DS. Josey felt like a giddy teenage girl.
"Josey...."
She jumped up from bed. "Who's there?" Josey spoke to the open space in her room.
She looked around. She didn't hear the voice again so she settled back onto her bed.
From the corner of her eye she could see her bedroom mirror distorting. “Did I doze off? Am I asleep?“, Josey could feel the hysteria rising in her.
A loud knock came from her bedroom door. "Coming in!" her mom yelled as she walked into her bedroom.
At this time beads of sweat had formed on Josey’s forehead. "Are you feeling okay, honey?"
"I'm fine Mom."
"I was a little worried. You don't plan on elaborating about how you got trapped in a broom closet?"
"It's my fault for wondering around the school late. I got spooked and thought I was hiding in an office. After the door closed, you could hear the locks engaging. I stayed there yelling until the janitor showed up..The end" Josey really hated lying to her mom but the truth would knock her Nethersigh socks off!
She looked at her from the corner of her eye, "I expect you to tell me the truth, so I will take what you say has the truth."
Her mom was a genius technology junkie. Josey always had the latest technology regardless of whether she used it or not. She was born and raised in the aristocrat society in Nethersigh. She was stripped of the title of Duchess when she started dating then marrying Josey’s father. Her mother’s grandparents had 15 kids, her mom being the youngest, therefore it was easy to get rid of the youngest Duchess out of 8.
Josey looked her mother in her eyes and said "Good night Mom. I love you." Her mom planted a kiss on her forehead.
Once she left, Josey spoke into her DS, "Good night Cofer. Sweet dreams. - Send". He quickly responded back, " Good night, my beautiful Lilac". His voice was so serious but his message was soft. She played the message back repeatedly.
After the 4th playback, Josey heard a voice come from the shadow on the furthest side of the room. She was struck with fear. The clock on her night stand said it was 6:00 PM. “That can't be true. I got home at 9:15ish. “, Josey said before jumping from her bed and making a run for the door. No matter how hard she ran, the door seemed unreachable. Josey soon collapsed on the floor. Her legs felt heavy from running. She reached back and grabbed her DS. [Cofer save me.] She couldn't speak or call for him. “And this..this has to be a dream. “ ,Josey turned on to her knees on the floor and attempted to crawl to the door. The floor warped into red sand. Many hands reached out from beneath the sand and clawed at her body, dragging her into the ether. She could feel herself slipping from consciousness. [Somebody!] Before she was fully submerged, a figure shaped similar to Cofer's, stood before her, he reached into the sand, grabbed her arm and carried her to her bed. When Josey looked at the males face it looked smeared. Like it was being sucked into the skull it sat on..
Josey sat up straight in her bed, screaming at the top of her lungs.
The light had now lit the sky. It was morning. Josey was fully clothed. Since her parents did not rush into the room, Josey came to the conclusion that they had left for the Himanu Research Facility. She had gathered rings of sweat around her shirt collar and her armpits. She felt cold and icky, while her mind was disheveled and dazed.

“Where am I?”, Cofer thought to himself while he walked down the hallway of a large manor that did not belong to him. The hallway seemed to get longer but he could hear screams coming from the end of it. As he got closer to the door at the end of the hallway, he heard "Cofer save me!". He was startled. His voice trembled with terror. “My Lilac? Why is she here?”, Cofer hurriedly opened the door. His feet sank into a swamp of blood. The smell in the room was rancid. The sour aroma of dead bodies waft through the area. When he looked down he saw a hand reaching towards him. "Josey!" Cofer tried to scream but his words could not reach her. He pulled her body from the lake of blood. There was resistance. “Why are there demons trying to drag Josey under?” He mouthed while he held her body close to his own as he carried her to the bed. When her eyes fully opened, she let out an empty scream that would have brought hoards of dogs to their knees. Cofer's fingers started to fade. He could no longer reach her. “I'm here!. Jo...-"...
Cofer quickly sat up in his bed. He could still feel the pain in his heart. “I couldn't reach her. I couldn't reach her” He repeated to himself. He told himself it was only a dream. He needed to calm down. "This light. Why is it so bright?" Cofer’s palms were sweaty. “What the hell kind of dream was that? I wish I could call her”
He gathered himself and pressed the bell next to his bed. Within minutes, his butler, Lincoln, arrived. "Sire would you like breakfast?"
"Yes Lincoln. I will take it in my office near the lab."
"You will not be going to the campus today?"
Cofer quickly threw a glare at Lincoln. His 'excessive' questioning was making him angry. "Has my breakfast arrived yet?" He spoke snidely.
"I will leave you to it, Sire"
Cofer clothed himself and put his slippers on. He commenced his walk to his laboratory. His mansion was home to only about 10 servants. Cofer liked his silence and privacy. Even though the building boasts 30 to 40 rooms. He didn't require them to clean every inch meticulously. Not long after he entered his lab, he heard a knock on the door.
"Sire your breakfast." Lincoln spoke from the other side of the lab door.
"Come in," Cofer demanded. Lincoln rolled the breakfast cart over to his sitting area. Cofer grabbed a large roll from the table. The heat and the softness, reminded him of Josey. “Her ample bosom was pressed against my chest. I could feel her n*****s getting hard. s**t…”
Cofer already missed her. His body missed her too. The impression she left on him was suffocating. He could still smell her scent on his body. “Is this lust? I don't know much about women or love. I know that I have been on this planet for over 220 years and no one has ever made my member stand. Period.” Cofer groaned to himself.
He was only 1 of 40 vampires that were immortal. He had the ability to make others immortal but that person would have to drink blood for the first 100 years of their life, then at least once a year until they chose to perish. His research made large strides in his community, not having to feed on human blood often made life much easier. Nethersigh was their kingdom. Vampires blocked out the sun and it would stay blocked until the last vampire died.
“I wonder if Josey is my mate. I've never looked for comfort or attention. My attraction to her is absolute. She has to be mine and only mine.”
