What's next?

Afterglow and FAQ

As they lay on the bed, their bodies still entwined in each other's embrace, Maria eventually sensed her energy slowly trickling back to her. Her mind was racing with thoughts and questions about Nikolai and his vampire nature.

"So...you really are a vampire?" she finally asked, breaking the silence.

Nikolai chuckled. "No, it's just my nutritionist suggested blood diet. What do you think? Do you still doubt it?"

Maria shook her head. "No, I don't doubt it. It's just so hard to believe."

"It's not like the movies," Nikolai said. "We don't turn into bats, and we don't hiss. It's much more subtle than that."

"What do you mean?" Maria asked.

Nikolai shifted slightly, pulling her closer to him. "Our senses are heightened, especially our sense of smell. We can sense things that humans can't. We're stronger and faster than humans, and we heal quickly. And of course, there's the blood."

Maria stirred at the mention of blood. "I don't understand the blood thing. Why do you need it?"

"It sustains us," Nikolai explained. "It's like food to us. But it's more than that. It's also a source of immense pleasure. For us, there's nothing more intimate than sharing blood with someone."

Maria was intrigued. "What's it like?" she asked.

"Umm, well, it's hard to describe," Nikolai said. "It's like a rush of energy, of life. But it's also pleasure, each gulp is like a tiny orgasm. Well, that part depends on the vict... umm, donor. And when you're feeding on someone you're fucking, it's even more intense."

"What about the Sun?" Maria was curious.

"Ok, there are many myths flying around, but they seldom have anything to do with us" Nikolai responded hurriedly, like he rehearsed this answer for ages. "Direct sunshine can destroy us, but not instantly. We can be outside in the middle of day but only for very short periods. We are visible in mirrors, naturally, and the garlic myth is bullshit. So are silver, crosses and wooden stakes. We can be killed though, mainly by decapitation. And we definitely don't sparkle."

Maria laughed weakly. "How old are you?" she asked.

"I'm 800 years old, I was born and lived in Russia for many centuries. But since the industrial revolution, when transportation during the night became more viable, I started traveling around the world."

Maria's mind was still racing with questions, but she was too tired to keep talking. She felt Nikolai's hand brush against her hair, and she leaned into his touch, feeling safe and loved.

She managed another question, one that was bugging her since their first encounter. "Why me?"

Nikolai took a deep breath. "I told you. You're special. I can...charm others, make them enjoy my feeding and even influence them to do my bidding to some extent but there is less then 1% of people that I can connect with in the same way we did. And many of those are usually psychos or weirdoes anyway. Remember when I said you carry darkness in you? Well, usually this darkness takes control of people and they channel it into ****, destruction, mental illness or, at best, sexual fetishes. But you didn't succumb to it...yet. Still, your **** pleasure when bitten shows what is hidden inside you."

Maria listened to him intently but her exhaustion was taking over. She needed sleep and rest.

"I have something for you," Nikolai said suddenly. "It's a special blend of vitamins and ****. It will help you tomorrow with the blood loss syndrome you're experiencing."

Maria smiled at him thankfully, closing her eyes.

As she fell asleep, Nikolai was already making plans in his head. Plans for her final corruption, for the moment when she will be fully his.

How is Maria doing the following day?
