The meeting

Emily's pov

I lost my voice choking on my words. We both stared at each other in shock. Finally, he walked closer to me grabbing hold of my arms. He looked deep into my eyes and just his touch sent sparks to my very core and sent my mind reeling from this unknown feeling. A feeling I've never known truly existed just from his touch. He must have felt the sparks to for his eyes widened in a look of shock then his expression reverted to one of that of determination.

After composing himself he refocused his eyes on me and in a voice that sounded like honey to my ears yet rough and harsh making me want to wince. Though I stood firm he said" who are you? Really? How did you come here?" then almost growled at me when an answer was not immediately given. "Tell me the truth what is your name? Why are you here? What are your intentions?" I swayed almost fainting, but after regaining what little composure I had of myself and getting over some of the initial shocks of seeing him another vampire. My adrenaline and excitement and fear all revving I was in a storm of emotions and it was taking everything in me not to faint in front of him. I say "My name Emily I work as a cleaner. But who are you? How old are you? Are there more like us? Where did you come from? I know nothing please, please answer me don't leave me in the dark. I can live in this kind of darkness no longer please?!" I plead with him. At first, both of us looked at each other in shock, and I also in curiosity and fear till he broke the silence with a laugh.

His laugh sounded like music to my ears filling me with joyous peaceful sensations ebbing away and taking all my fear and nerves. Am I losing my sanity? I shouldn't feel so calm how is this possible? The sound of his voice alone made my knees go weak. He raised his hand and places a finger on my lips. "Shhh;" The contact sending me reeling I jumped back from the spark that ignited, in me as much as the physical contact was something beyond compare. Something that I longed for more of, something I yearned for but I needed answers. So for each step forward, he took I took one back. This continued with a glint of amusement in his eyes. Within a blink, I was against the wall and he was within a breath's length of me. The urge to touch him was so strong, so irresistible in fact. I fought with my body and mind to get answers I need answers I've lived too long and alone without them. Even without us truly touching the electricity in the air crackled and snapped around us. What was this sensation it was one id never felt before id felt lust certainly but this it was an intense animalistic driver and where he had lightly touched me after he pulled his hand away felt lit a thousand volts of electricity was going through it but yet I yearned for it like that touch was suddenly all that was keeping me alive all that was truly sustaining my body.

He looked directly into my eyes; I saw his eyes swirl with colors of the black-brown and electric blue dancing as he smiled sweetly for the first time. Almost as if his eyes were in phases and his body and mind were conflicting with each other but it could only be seen through his eyes." Hush," he said "I can answer all I can but one at a time but first...." the proximity of our bodies his touch, and the sound of his voice hardening my nipples. Placing his hands under my chin, I tried fighting the pull he had over me, over my body but it won. The pull to the gorgeous specimen of a man. He had to be about six and a half feet tall he was well-built muscular but not like bodybuilder type. He was, of course, pale but he still had a sun-kissed kind of pale he must have been an Italian Indian mix for while pale his skin was still sun-kissed look. He also had short hair but it had curls very slight one to them his hair was the color of dark chocolate with small dark red streaks. I knew I would be haunted by and forever lost in his eyes once our eyes met I couldn't pull myself away and I lost myself so completely in them.

I now hungered for something I couldn't say I knew it was something I'd never had, never even come close to tasting. Something I felt as though only he could give me. Now I'm not a virgin far from it. Though admittedly it's been years cause well in my experience men don't make it through. I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I felt as if I knew nothing and I wanted him to show and teach it all to me. I wanted no craved him his touch his guidance I felt as if I belonged at this moment with him alone my fears slowly forgotten that he was supposed to be a stranger the thought felt like a lie. It was a feeling so intense so deep so primal it brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know I could even spill any more tears. My soul my body my mind all felt so drawn in to him, all I wanted to do was be near him in fact it was all I felt I would ever need again.

I felt emotions I thought long dead to me or that I never knew existed. Before thinking any further my eyes flew to his lips which were full and lush. The next thing I knew my lips smashed mine down upon his. For a moment both shocked at our action unable to do more than press tightly to each other. But then his hands moved to roam and caress my body as I did the same to pull him closer to myself and deepening the kiss. My hands running through his brown hair, He did the same Grabbing my hair at the nape of my neck, and all the while his other hand moved to discover the shape of me. Grabbing my ass pulling me closer than I had ever been to a man. We both desperately grabbing and pulling and clinging to each other to be closer through there was no possible way to be with our clothes still on. Fighting for dominance within the kiss eventually I gave in. he licked my lips as his tongue requested itself an entrance which I granted as I moaned in his mouth.

Our tongues swirled and danced with one another I drew him into my mouth and he would coax me back into his the taste of him was pure heaven. He tasted of the blood he had just drunk a slight metallic taste with the sweetness of dark chocolate and mixed berries and well as sea saltiness. I pulled away slightly and reluctantly so as to catch my breath and asked him again "what's your name?" He replied "Samson, but I go by Sam these days what is yours beautiful?" I blushed as he called me beautiful I would flirt with all the time but none affected me the way he did was it his voice. It was deep but mystical and light-hearted and I replied "Emily "without thought or hesitation that I would normally have around any man trying to flirt with me. Something was different about him and just between us I thought as he looked at me his eyes sparkled with gold flakes. "Emily," he said in a husky voice and still breathing hard from the kiss we shared.

As if he was taking my name for a test drive on his lips. The way he said my name the way it came off his lips sent shivers down my spine. He pulled me back to his chest and kissed me again this time slowly with a passion and fever of adoring until we heard the door of the truck and my co-workers getting out. We jumped apart and as I heard the keys I turned toward the sound of their entrance and them calling for me "Emily? Are you still here I immediately ran to the bathroom to flush the toilet and walked back up to the front before they could go back there. When I came out however he had already disappeared anyways. I could no longer feel him or smell him in the building strange how I couldn't smell him before. Walking up to the front trying to collect me before I spoke to them. It must not have worked because of the minute I got up to the front they gave me a once-over. "Hey em you alright?" looking between each other I hadn't checked my reflection so I know I must have looked like a horrific mess. Especially based on their facial expressions.

I must look shocked and well as my hair and make-up a mess from everything and my body was still trembling. Mike looked me over a Lil extra and said "you need me to drive you home em?" I shook my head and said, "no, but I think going home might be a good idea". Then announcing so they could all hear, "I'm sorry guys I'm not feeling so great I think I'll call it quits for the night if you guys don't mind?" they all nodded after they saw me looking paler than even I thought was possible for myself. "Yeah, go get some rest and call me if you need anything," said Mike. I just nodded as I headed to the door and straight for my car. I had always refused to go in the company car because I refused to be stuck in case of an emergency or an episode such as now having not had my blood bag tonight. As I made my way to my car I felt a sixth sense sensation. I was being followed or watched I knew it must be him for my skin goose-bumped and my nipples perked and almost as if I could smell him the scent of a campfire and the sea breeze and the sweat of a man.

Samson

I looked in the direction I felt him and there he was. "What's your name?" I asked, "Samson come with me tonight I will answer anything you want to know." Hesitantly I nodded and took his outstretched hands then he took me in his arms and we were flying. I was excited by his touch and then by the sudden flight and surprised "we can fly?" "Some of us were his response he was extremely cryptic. I felt like I should be scared of him for his exciting power. It radiated and rolled off his handsome features but I wasn't. After a while of me staring at his physic, I felt myself slipping. Not from his firm grasp but reality from consciousness. I had little to no blood tonight I was weakening too much as It was I barely drank enough to survive. And from what I have seen it was nothing compared to what he had drank based on the bags that ii had cleaned up after he left. I t was 4 times what I would drink in a day. With all the excitement I hadn't touched another bag yet that night. Not enough to keep me going or conscious.

*Samson's POV*

(Earlier that night)

The coven needed more blood the war was soon to come. James my half-brother wanted to rule the covens all of them. He wanted my birthright he wanted our father's position. he wanted to awaken the monster the first of us we didn't say or speak her name for many centuries many had forgotten her name all but my own family and those of the council tasked with guarding her sleep. Even the bible gave the woman no name she was the first of us she was ruthless bloodthirsty and no man-made religion knew the full story. They got pieces right don't get me wrong but they had twisted them to their means and ends.

Those closest to the truth praised our same goddess and gods our goddess Selene and Hecate protected us. Selene is the goddess of the moon while Hecate is the goddess of magic. The first Empusa translated loosely to Lilith was Hecate's vampire daughter. She had great power over men. She could bend them to her will to control them as well as to demand a blood sacrifice of them, Given willingly. James denied this entire he denied our history. He denied blood right which meant he denied my birthright believing we have our powers so to rule the entire world. To rule and control the humans, not hide in the shadows. That human should know of our existence and worship us was his view and wish for our future.

James denied anything outside himself was powerful or had powers beside his own mother. The ways he demanded this ruling had vampires on both sides of the fence for he was also a bastard though a prince still. As James' older half-brother; I would never agree to this. While I had no wish to truly rule the covens I also knew I couldn't leave them in my brother's hands. It was my duty one I took with much seriousness. And two, I must protect us from the humans. Though humans feared us they tended to destroy what they did not understand. The Salem witch trials were just examples of this in an extreme moment the most historical in even humans remember but now days brush aside as superstition. My job would be as the king my father's job to make sure existing rules and new ones needing to be placed in the future were followed were fair and punishments for those to disobey were dealt and administered.

Alas, I must learn all the roles in the coven as well to know how to make fair judgments for small actions and big alike that may affect the coven. Tonight and for the month I was sent to gather food for the elders. It was a short while before one either I core my brother would ascend the throne two full moons now (and I would assure it was myself who ascended my father's throne) and start the sovereignty. My father had ruled for a thousand years now our longest peaceful reign. I just prayed I could follow in his foot-steps being even half as great a leader as my father Gerold.
