The Love of Vincenzo: Paranormal Erotic Romance (Anam Céile Chronicles) (6 page)

F
or some reason, I
could not cease my preoccupation with Giuliana’s upcoming session with a
Vampire that night.  Although I could not explain it, I just had the most
unsettling feeling carving a pit into my stomach, which gave me the urge to go
find her and take her away from that place, even if I had to do it kicking and
screaming. 

I should have listened to my
instincts.

However, repentantly, I did
not. 

What was I so afraid of? 
Losing the benefits, the status I had managed to attain at
Sanguelascivia
?
 Or was it the possibility of her rejection which truly had me so stagnant? 

Wanting to be unoccupied in
the event of anything happening, I managed to eschew my own lineup that night. 
I was sure I would face the consequences later, but I did not care.  Sometimes
there were more important things.  Besides, I had always been an exemplary
performer and servant here.  That should account for something, after all.  Not
many had stuck around this place as long as I had.

Several hours later, my heart
skipped a beat as I watched Giuliana make her way back to the stage to line up
for the patrons.   There she stood on display for all to see in a flowing gossamer
white gown.  I swallowed hard. 

Oh God, without even
trying, she is just far too enticing!

Without revealing it
completely, the transparent fabric provocatively hinted at the delicate line of
her figure, the luscious roundness of the breasts which lay beneath. 

However, though I couldn’t
quite place my finger on it, she seemed a bit off.  In this line of work, one
had to always be on top of their game, lest they apply poor judgment.  The
consequences of such a thing could be fatal.

Too soon, it was her turn,
and as expected, countless hands of eager male Vampires shot into the air, all
vying for the chance to taste her.  My stomach twisted at the very thought of
it, of one of them sinking their fangs into her sweet flesh, of one of them
even touching her flawless skin with their icy hands.  Giuliana hesitated,
clearly overwhelmed, and after much deliberation, she finally chose a Vampire
with whom I was not familiar.

The cavernous pit in my
stomach dug deeper. 

Something is not right.  I
do not like the look in his eyes. 

How can I be so frozen? 
Why do I not just grab her now, pull her away from here? 

I knew very well, that I
could not feasibly steal her out from under one of them.  They would never
stand for such insolence by a mere human.  I would not have lived to breathe in
her exquisite scent another second.  And then what good would I be for her?

I despised how helpless I
felt as she
led him down the corridor
.
My skin began to crawl.
 
I did not want to believe it, but I could not deny that something was just
not right.  All of my instincts alerted me to do something, but what exactly
could I do?

Inconspicuously following a
short distance behind them in the corridor, when they went inside the room, I
made my way near the room and just hovered, on guard for anything unusual. 

Only a handful of extended
seconds passed.

And then it happened.

The moment I feared, and yet,
had been anticipating.

Her horrorstruck scream pierced
my ears, eliciting me to jump forwards.  Before I could reach the room where he
held her ensnared, the screams quickly became choked off into mere gurgles, filling
me with more anger, fueling me.

Giuliana!

Bracing myself, I burst through
the door with my shoulder.  The startled Vampire ripped his fangs out of Giuliana’s
throat, and tossed her scantily clad body aside to dare me.  Without a moment’s
hesitation, I turned and grabbed a large shard from the smashed wooden door and
aimed it at him. 

Rash creature that he was, he
lunged forwards at me, nevertheless.  I knew then it was him or me.  Only one
of us would walk away from this.  And if it was not me, then nor would
Giuliana.  If the sanctity of my own life was not a sufficient enough motivator,
than surely hers was.

As he moved in on me, his
eyes searing their murderous intent into me, I inhaled deeply and with all my
strength, plunged the stake through his frozen heart. 

The bloodthirsty creature dropped
to his knees before me, his flesh instantly melting away from his bones as he
shrieked in ghastly torment for his demise.  It was the most hideous sound ever
I had heard!  Within seconds, all that was remaining of the once misleadingly
dashing Vampire was a skeleton in a bloodied heap of sludge upon the floor.

Glancing up from the grisly
scene, my eyes met Giuliana’s.  Though barely conscious, they were staring in horror
at that which she had just witnessed.  I realised that she likely had not seen
the gruesome aftermath of a Vampire slaying before.  Although, neither had I.

Oh no, after observing me
kill so easily, will she now fear me?  I must say something, must let her know
that I am still the same man…

I opened my mouth to give her
some sort of reassurance, yet before I had the chance to say anything at all to
her, she fainted.  I lurched forward and caught her in my arms. 

Giuliana’s eyes closing, her
lovely head just fell back.  She was out cold.  Evidently the traumatic incident
was just too much for her, naïve and delicate woman that she was.  Not to
mention that he had nearly drained her.

I have always detested
these despicable creatures!

Turning the handle upon the door, suddenly I feared what
would be waiting for me on the other side.  With the way that Vampire had
shrieked, he was sure to have alerted others to his doom. 

Would they be waiting for me outside?
 

If so, I was most certainly condemned, but I vowed not to allow
anything to happen to Giuliana.  Although, at this point, I had no idea how I
was to accomplish that feat.  No matter, I would find a way to get her to
safety. 

Nonetheless, I must.

With the door open, I was relieved to see nothing waiting on
the other side.  But I didn’t make the mistake of believing that meant that I
was in the clear.  Holding her close in my arms, I quickly made my way back to
her chamber.

Oh, how good she feels!  Too long I have waited to be
this close to her, although this is not at all the way I would have imagined it
happening…

O
nce safely inside her
chamber, I laid Giuliana gently upon her bed and tucked her snug and warm
beneath the bedcovers.  Unable to resist and wanting more than anything to be
close to her, I disrobed.  Peeling back the covers, I climbed in beside her, slipping
my arm beneath her.  Wrapping my arms about her, I wished I had only listened
to my instincts and done something to keep her safe in the first place.   

The warmth of her body
against me was the most relaxing thing I had ever experienced.  Suddenly I had
the sinking realisation that if she were to perish, I felt I would not be able
to go on.  That feeling unsettled me as nothing had before. 

For three long hours I lay
watching her, gazing upon the awe-inspiring beauty of her, hoping, praying
beneath my breath, though I had never made a habit of such nonsense before then. 
But little did I care.  I would elect to try anything if only it would save
her, promise to bring her back to me.

Much later that night, at long
last, she awoke!

After laying her head down
ever so gently upon the pillow, I slipped out of the bed to get some water.  I
walked back into the room just in time to see her eyes trying to open.

Upon seeing me standing there,
she cried out in horror, which was not at all the way I had envisioned it would
go.

Determined to make her
realise it was only me, I promptly grasped her by the shoulders.  “Giuliana!” I
shouted, shaking her, desperate to bring her back to reality.  Much to my
chagrin, in her distress, she recoiled from me, shutting her eyes tight.  “You
are safe now.  It is I, Vincenzo.”

As though in disbelief, she
opened her eyes again, looking up at me gazing
down
at her in concern. 

“Vincenzo?  It is really
you?” she questioned in disbelief.

Smiling joyously at her, I
could not refrain from chuckling.  “Of course it is I, Giuliana.  Have you no
recollection of what happened last night?”
 

 At my question, Giuliana scrunched
up her face and paused a moment, becoming lost in her thoughts.  A shiver ran
through her as her mind replayed the frightening earlier events of the night.  She
studied me, as though searching for an answer.
 

Finally, to my relief, she
spoke.  “Did you actually bust through the door and save me from that
bloodthirsty vampire or did I dream it?”

I felt my body tense at the
mention of the Vampire, a loathing filling me.  “Yes, Giuliana.  I heard your
scream and came as fast as I could.”

“I do not know how to show
you my gratitude, Vincenzo?”

“Your being alive is
gratitude enough, Giuliana.” I responded, gazing into her eyes meaningfully. 

She searched my eyes again as
though hoping for something more. 

I decided to risk it and properly
convey my feelings to her. 

Reaching up, I brushed the
hair from her face, taking the opportunity to stroke my hand over the side of her
head.  “You are so beautiful, Giuliana.  There are many beautiful women here,
but you possess a type of beauty which I have rarely seen.  I sense goodness in
you.”
 
Lowering my hand, I placed it over
the swell of her breast, eliciting her to inhale sharply.  “In here.” 

Not bothering to remove my hand
from her breast, I leaned into her, until my face was so close I could feel her
breathing on me.  Her breath caught in her chest and I sensed she knew what was
coming next.  Her eyes falling shut, I tenderly touched my lips to hers.  In
light of her earlier trauma I restrained myself from kissing her as resolutely
as I would have preferred, waiting instead for her receiving of it before going
further.

To my delight, Giuliana
immediately parted her lips, slipping her tongue out to glide across mine.  Elated
at her sign of acceptance, I was unable to restrain myself any longer.  Breathing
in sharply, I responded with my tongue darting into her mouth, seeking hers out
more eagerly.  As our tongues entwined, my hand crept up the back of her head,
entangling into her silky hair.  With a mind of its own, my other hand dropped
lower to discover the softness of her breast. 

Though I could have kissed
her forever, I longed to explore all of her.  My mouth departed from hers, eliciting
from her a whimper, which made me smile, to travel along the line of her jaw.  Feeling
my mouth suckling gently upon her earlobe, she sighed a heartbreakingly beautiful
sigh.  As though she had never before touched a man, her hands set to exploring
my chest, her fingers weaving their way through the hair which covered it. 

It was endearing. 

God, how this sweet woman
drives me mad!
 

Filled with adoration, I
kissed the delicate spot just behind her ear, making her shiver.

“Oh Vincenzo, you do not know
how many times I have dreamt of this moment,” Giuliana whispered breathlessly
as my mouth moved on to explore her neck.

She has?

“Not nearly as many times as
I,” I breathed onto her throat. 

She stiffened just slightly as
I neared the fresh wounds from the close call with the Vampire.  I kissed them
ever so gently.  “I am so sorry this happened to you, my Giuliana.”

Drawing back to look at me,
her eyes were full of questions.  I would surely answer every one of them, if
only I knew what they were.  My mind went crazy, wondering what she could be
thinking.  I wished to know every single thought which passed through her
pretty head.  I yearned to know everything there was to know about her.

“Do not be.  I am not,” she
replied, a sort of hesitance evident in her tone. “What I mean is, had it not
been for you, Vincenzo, surely I would not be here now… here with you.”

My eyes softening as I gazed
upon the woman I adored, my lips turning up into a remorseful smile.  “I am
only sorry it took that for us to be together as this.”
 
My lips claimed hers again, kissing her more insistently this
time, my tongue seeking hers out, desperate to communicate my feelings for her. 

As her hand leisurely grazed down
my torso, I reveled in the knowledge of her discovering me for the first time. 
Quickly making her way to my lower abdomen, sensing where she was headed, I
sucked in my breath, my hand squeezing her breast in response.  Under our kiss I
felt her smile. 

Running her fingertips lower
still through my thick growth of hair there, the back of her knuckles teasingly,
just barely brushed the tip of my already fully erect organ.

Apparently determined to make
me squirm, which is precisely the position in which she so easily had me, she
persisted in teasing me, running her hand all about my core, but never actually
coming into contact with the centre of it.  

I had to give it to her.  She
was good. 

Without seeming like she had
any clue as to what she was doing to me, she just kept on doing it, smiling
ever so innocently.  Evidently, she was in no rush.  It took everything I had
in me not to grasp her hand and plunge my cock through it.

But I did not, allowing her
the pleasure of knowing me in any manner which she desired.  I was just elated
to finally be this close to her.  I was sure not about to do something to ruin
it.

Still, I had to do something
to distract myself from the ache of anticipation she was feeding into me.  Removing
myself from her delicious mouth, swiftly I lowered myself to seek her breast.  Her
hands positioned upon my broad shoulders, my mouth engulfed her nipple, drawing
it in, my tongue surrounding it ravenously.  I knew she approved when she bit
her lip, a little moan escaping from her.  

Giuliana’s hand set to wandering
across my abdomen again, tracing the line of my hips, feeling beneath her
fingertips the muscles of my buttocks.  Unable to resist the bravado, I flexed them
for her, so that they became firm under her hand. 

I was instantly rewarded with
her resulting gasp, making me smile.

Palming her breasts, I moved
my mouth from one to the other, eliciting another gasp from her as I began
suckling upon the left nipple.  As though in invitation, her legs below instinctually
parted.  My cock leapt at the primitive response I evoked in her.

My God, she is perfect!

And then, as though entirely
of its own volition, her hand migrated back to my centre and wrapped about my
erection.  Already beautifully in sync with one another we both moaned.  The
intense pleasure of it instigated me to suckle harder upon the nipple in my
mouth.
 

Within her hand, I felt my
cock grew hotter, filling with more blood as she stroked its length, reveling
in the feel of it.
 

Oh, how I yearn to be
buried deep within her!

The manner in which she stroked
me was as nothing I had ever felt before.  Perhaps it was only because it was Giuliana
doing it.  Whatever it was, I was in awe.  Letting out an elongated groan, her
nipple escaped from my mouth.  Before I had the opportunity to take it back, she
slid her lithe body down mine, aligning her beautiful face with my engorged
organ.

Gazing up at me, her face
told me she needed to know my response to her bold move.  My expression
conveyed to her my pleasurable surprise.  Holding my breath in anticipation, I
stared down at her with longing.  Surprising me once again, Giuliana smiled up
at me mischievously, holding my gaze as she placed her soft tongue against the
crown of my cock. 

That was all it took and I was
consumed with lust. 

The intensity with which I
had desired this woman before this moment, that was nothing compared to how desperately
I wanted her now.

I knew right then that she
had the ability to make me forget I had ever been with another woman.  And I
would gladly do it, never to look back.

Sweeping her tongue lightly
over the tip of my cock, she circled it delectably, tracing the ridged
underside of it, driving me insane.  It took everything I had not to thrust myself
into her alluring mouth.  And then, as if to add insult to injury, she ran her
tongue all the length of my shaft down to my balls, which she proceeded to kiss
her way over to the opposite side and then back up again. 

I thought I would surely
explode any moment from the insane torment of this pleasure.  I began to get
the feeling she was delighting in making me squirm as this.  Perhaps she intended
on making me plead for more
.

At last, after a few more
torturous rounds of this treatment, she gave me what I desired.  Her parted
mouth hovering over my upright shaft, at once she took it into her gorgeous
mouth as far as she was able.  Entangling my hands within her lustrous hair, I
groaned long and low.  To my delight, she persisted in her sucking of me, her
tongue flitting ravenously all over it as she did so. 

“Oh, my God, Giuliana!” I
groaned hoarsely through my lust, my fingers raking her shoulders.
 

Unable to take this beautiful
torture another moment, I propped myself up on my elbows and looked down at her
as she was doting lusciously upon my organ as though it were a lollipop.  “Woman,
you will surely be the undoing of me!”
 

In one motion, I placed my
hand beneath her arms, lifting her up, and laying her body against mine, my hypersensitive
engorged organ between us. 

My hands squeezing the cheeks
of her buttocks, I pressed myself against her pelvis.  Taking her face within
my hands, I kissed her hard, taking all of my frustration out upon that mouth. 
Rather than resisting me, she seemed to welcome it. 

My hand creeping inward, I
located the enticing crevice which led to her sex.  My fingers slid over the
slickness there, causing her to moan freely into my mouth.

I could not wait any longer. 
I had to know this woman more intimately.

“Giuliana, I must taste you
now,” I said roughly.  Without waiting for a response, I lifted her up so that she
straddled my chest.  

As I delighted in the display
of her right there above his eyes, she looked down at me with trepidation.  My
eyes raked over her gorgeous form, my hands moving to her breasts.  Touching my
finger first to her mound, and then to my lips, I commanded lustily, “I want your
sex right here upon my mouth.”
