“Get behind me,” Lela said to Eldrich.
He joined her and in the next moment, the broom began to ascend. Lela closed her eyes and held on tight.
“Don’t be afraid,” Eldrich said. “I’m with you.”
She opened her eyes and looked down. She couldn’t see Lady Rema. All she saw was darkness. The broom rose higher and a thought came to Lela’s mind. One she wished had stayed hidden. Xavier. She remembered feeling safe with him when he was holding her in his arms as he glided through the air when he brought her back to Barmoth from the Kingdom of the Lost. A part of her wished he was holding her, now.
Higher they rose and she thought they were going to collide with the full moon. She stared at it. So majestic and powerful, she wondered how many secrets it was keeping for people.
“We’re almost to the mountains,” Eldrich said.
“Are you scared?” she asked.
“Of a witch? No, of course not.”
He was lying. Stiltz was the witch who cursed him, turned him into a frog!
“She won’t put a spell on you, again. I’m sure of it. That would be too easy. Her intent is to cause us both pain,” Lela said.
“I never told you how many years I spent as a frog. I lived as a slimy, insect-eating close-to-the-ground frog for ten years.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. In that time, I learned a lot about the forest, humans, and I also got to feel the sun’s rays on my skin without feeling pain.”
“Do you miss the sun?” Lela asked.
“When I was a young vampire, yes, I missed it.”
“And now?”
“Now I’m with you and you’re all that matters to me.”
Ahead, Lela could see the tallest mountain. The broom ascended higher.
For an unknown reason, Lela started laughing as the broom approached the peak of the mountain.
“Are you all right?” he asked.
“This is all so utterly ridiculous. If I don’t laugh, I’ll start crying and fall down into the trees.”
“How do you think I feel? Vampires despise witches. And yet, I find myself flying on a witch’s broom on my way to see another witch.”
She laughed, harder. “We’re quite the couple.”
“At least we’re not boring,” he said.
“Mind if after we get through this, we settle in for a bit of boringness?” she asked.
“Even when having sex?”
“Of course not!”
“You had me worried,” he said.
“Ah, don’t worry, my love. I have a few things planned for us,” she said.
“Do tell. More vegetables?” He laughed.
“Is that all you think I like?” she asked, snorting.
“I’m intrigued,” he said.
“You’ll have to wait and see.”
They reached the top of the mountain and the broom began to descend.
“How will we know where the witch lives?” she asked.
“Something tells me she’ll come to us,” he said.
Down through the tallest trees Lela had ever seen, the broom fell.
She looked below and saw a pack of wolves, tearing a dead animal’s flesh.
“Eldrich,” she said.
“Don’t worry,” he said, jumping off the broom.
They were at least thirty feet from the ground. I’m in love with a mad vampire!
The broom halted, hovering in the air above Eldrich and the wolves.
The alpha male wolf leaped onto Eldrich. Eldrich pushed him off with his arm; the wolf landed some twenty feet away. The other wolves growled.
“Who’s next?” Eldrich asked, crossing his arms.
The alpha male regained his stance and came at Eldrich again. This time, Eldrich grabbed and twisted his neck. Upon seeing their now dead leader the other wolves retreated and disappeared into the woods.
The broom started falling again. Lela’s feet touched the earth. She sprinted into Eldrich’s arms.
Before she could contain herself, she unbuttoned his trousers, pushed down his pants and took his cock in her mouth.
Moaning, he said, “Sweetness of mine. Yes, take it in deeper. That’s it, good, very good.”
She wanted all of him in her mouth and she drew him in deeper and deeper, sucking and licking him. His fighting the wolves had aroused her beyond her control. She felt like an animal and she didn’t care. Standing, she lifted her dress and leaned against a tree.
“Come to me,” she said.
He wasted no time. “I want to devour you,” he said, sliding his fingers into her.
“No,” she whispered, moving his hand aside.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked.
“I want your cock inside of me. I want you to push into me as if today is your last day.”
He raised her arms above her head and entered her.
“Harder,” she said.
He obeyed.
She was absolutely intoxicated.
“Turn me around,” she said.
He obeyed. Powering into her again, he put his arm across her upper back and pressed her body against the tree.
“Tonight is your last night, love,” she said.
He pulled out of her and ripped her dress off. Then he grabbed her and threw her to the ground.
“My turn,” he said.
“Anything you want,” she said.
“Crawl away from me.”
The heat she was feeling was killing her. She almost felt nonhuman as if the mountain was turning her into a ravenous animal.
Crawling, she said, “Don’t hurt me.” Yes, oh, yes, hurt me.
“Smother your body with dirt,” he said.
She obeyed. Oh, yes, she did. She spread dirt on her face, her breasts and her stomach.
“Down below, too,” he said.
Gently, she smeared dirt between her thighs.
“You’re so dirty,” he said. “My sweet dirty, Princess. Now get up and run from me. Run as fast as you can.”
Blessed Gods, what has gotten into us? Whatever it is, I want more. I want him to chase me and knock me down and plunge into me…
She came to her feet and soared through the trees as if the God of Death had called her to him. The moon’s glow guided her.
Suddenly, she was no longer running. She was on her back on the ground and Eldrich, oh, sweet Gods, was plunging into her with all his strength. Wrapping her legs high around his back, she gushed and then immediately had a second orgasm followed by bloody hell, a third!
Sinking his fangs into her plump breasts, he drew her blood as if he meant to drain her.
“Love, you’re taking too much. You need to stop.”
He thrust into her one last time and then pulled his fangs from her breasts. “I’m sorry if I scared you.”
