Eternal Damnation

Chapter 14

-Ezekiel POV- 

My eyes are trained at a beautiful Aurora. She wears a red satin dress that hugs her body at just the right places with a deep V neck. Her breasts are teasingly perked up. I have been wanting to taste them all night. 

We arrived about an hour ago and decided to separate. Aurora is my date while Wolf and Abigail try to act like they are together. It is very convincing since all they do is bicker. 

Aurora looks amazed, nervous, and uncomfortable all at the same time. 

"What is on your mind?" I whisper as I move her around the dancefloor. 

"A lot." She says.  

She scratches her ear. "How do you get used to this?" 

I know she is talking about her earpiece.  

"You don't. It bothers me too." 

One of my hands is on her waist and the other holds her hand as I sway us around the ballroom. 

I stare at her as she looks around the room. She particularly looks to one area where there is a huge double door decorated to fit a king, which I am guessing leads to the inside of the house. She keeps staring in that direction. 

Her hair is up but the burned side has more strands of hair covering her face. I take my hand and move the hair to the side, revealing her face. 

"There, beautiful." I whisper. 

Her face flushes and I smile. I like the effect I have on her.  

I really don't know what it is about her that I like so much. Maybe it is that she is out of time like me but then again, I have met other female vampires, and never have I liked them as much as I do Aurora. 

That is when I realize what draws me to her. 

It is the innocence she has and I don't mean childlike. I mean she hasn't been corrupted by what the promise of eternal life can bring you.  

Vampires as old as I, have done almost everything we can think of, and now life can be boring almost stale. Living for so long can become numbing. 

Aurora is just starting and see the world differently. With amazement and wonder. It draws me to her and makes me want to be a part of her life. It almost makes me feel like I am alive again. 

"Is that him?" She asks taking me away from my thoughts. 

I look in the direction she is looking and see Dimitrios Popov. 

"Yes, and it is best if he doesn't see me." I say and move Aurora further back. 

"Why is that?" She asks.  

"He is a vampire and we had a running a century or two ago." 

"Not a pleasant encounter I assume?" She asks. 

"No." Is all I say. 

It is not something I want to talk about with Aurora since it involves his daughter. 

I left those promiscuous tendencies a long time ago but I doubt he will forgive me.  

I had just been hired as muscle work and well... his daughter—who was a few hundred years old at the time already— seduced me. Something about getting back at her father and well... I didn't mind. 

But that is not me anymore. Yea I have the occasional good time with a woman and I flirt as much as bird chirps but nothing has felt like what I am feeling now with Aurora. I have been captivated by a woman before like the Alpha Queen but it was not the same as this. With her, it was her beauty and her power. With Aurora... it is all of her. Her simple beauty, her scars, her way of seeing the world, the way her nose squints when she is thinking but she doesn’t notice when she does it, the way she blushes when I make flirty remarks, how she tries to keep her feelings inside but her face tells all. I want more with her, more than I have had with any other woman in a long time. 

In fact, this hasn't happened since... Eleanor. 

"Ezekiel?" Aurora takes me out of my thought again but this time she looks a little panicked. 

"What?" 

"He is coming this way." She whispers. 

I look back and see Dimitrios walking in our direction but he doesn't look like he is coming for us. 

I take Aurora by the hand and start walking towards one of the halls. Dimitrios doesn't seem to stop and walks in the same direction. 

I continue pulling Aurora with me and cut to another hall. I lean Aurora on the wall and put my hand over her mouth. She is startled but stays quiet. 

Dimitrios follows a different direction and we both relax but now, to my pleasure, we are both alone and away from other eyes. 

"Aurora..." I whisper. 

"Yes?" She asks completely oblivious to my plans as she stares in the direction Dimitrios left. 

I put my hand near her ear and turn the earpiece off and then do the same to mine. 

She looks at me confused. "Why..." I interrupt her. 

"Because... I want to taste you." I say and with hunger, I take her lips with mine. 

I can feel her almost gasping but my lips muffle the sound. I hold her tight in place but she doesn't seem to make a move to part from me, not that I was going to let her. I might not be as territorial as a werewolf but I am a predator and I am a dominant man. If there is a way for me to get what I want, I will.  

She almost whimpers when I almost don't let her breathe. 

I pull back just a bit but continue kissing her jaw as she takes deep breaths, attempting to stabilize her breathing. 

I go to her neck and the urge to bite her is second nature to me but I know how to restrain myself.  

I can feel her pulse quickening. Her chest heaves up and down and I can hear her restraining moans but I don't like that. I want to hear them.  

I pull her closer to me and I start kissing down her collar bone and then down her sternum through the V shape of her dress and landing on the swells of her breasts. 

Her hand goes to my hair where she tangles her fingers. 

"Ezekiel..." She says in a breathless moan that excites me. 

I look up at her. "Do you want me to stop?" I ask but quickly put my lips back on her skin. 

"No..." She quickly says in a needy tone. 

I smile knowing that, that would be the answer. 

One of my hands leaves her hip and goes up to her breasts where I cup and then move the dress, exposing her hard swollen n****e. 

I almost moan looking at perfection. 

I can't wait any longer. My mouth openly welcomes her breast.  

She grabs my hair tighter the moment my tongue touches her sensitive skin. I French kiss it. My tongue does swirl around it and then I start sucking. That's when she can’t control her moaning any longer. I cover her mouth with my other hand as she almost pulls my hair out but at this moment, I don't give a s**t. I want to make this woman scream my name though I'm not sure how much we'll be able to do here in a public place where anyone can come check the odd sounds that are coming from the hall. 

To my pleasure, her hips start to press against me. Her body wanting to get closer to mine as she continues to moan. 

I finish that breast up with a nibble.  

She takes a deep breath and I start kissing the in-between of her breasts. 

"I'm not done yet." I say looking up at her. 

Her eyes are hooded and her face is red. 

I move the fabric from the other breast and take it in my mouth. 

Giving a growly moan, I suck.  

Her back starts to arch as her body pushes against me.  

She moans. "Eze... kiel... more..." 

I want to take her completely right now but, I know this is not the time for that. I finish the same way I did the other, grazing my teeth on the hard n****e.  

I look up at her and lick my lips seeing the state she is in, almost undone... almost. 

She has a needy expression, her breasts are exposed to me, and her face is red with hooded eyes. I go up to her level and kiss her, pulling her and crashing her breast to my chest. 

This is me controlling myself because if I could, I would take her here and have everyone watch as they hear her scream for me. 

I slowly pull back and turn the earpieces back on. 

"-hell are you!?" I hear Wolf say in my ear. 

"I'm here." I say looking at a daze Aurora.  

She looks almost in shock. 

I fix her dress back on, covering her because it seems she would walk out of here just like that and not notice. 

"We can't seem to find anything. No one here knows anything. Apparently, this guy is very secretive." Wolf says. 

I pull away from Aurora. "It seems that we'll have to do this the hard way then." 

Aurora takes a deep breath. "I think... I think I can feel it." Her voice wavers a little. 

"Feel what?" I ask. 

"The book. I keep feeling drawn to... I guess energy?" She says. 

"The big double doors?" I ask. 

She nods still looking flushed and I want to give her the biggest of smirks but I resist it. 

"Then we'll need a distraction to get through there." I say. 

"I got it." Abigail says. 

"How...?” Wolf asks. “Wait! You brought that thing?!" He shouts.  

"Yep, say hello to my little friend!" Abigal says imitating Tony Montana from Scarface. 

Wolf gasps. "She threw it, Ezekiel! She threw the damned spider into the food!" He sounds more upset about the ruined food. 

We start hearing people scream through the hall. 

I grab Aurora and run into the crowd while I laugh the whole way towards the big doors.
