The party began and Rose sat looking out at the crowd. It had been awhile since she had attended a party such as this one, but she had to be there. Something inside her felt at home there. The dim lighting and the dark setting put her mind at ease. She sat in the corner, wearing her short dark burgundy velvet dress, catching the eye of all who passed. During the night, many approached her, both men and women but she said no to all.
Rose sat there sipping her glass of red wine when she saw him across the room. He stood there among a small crowd, talking and as they broke out in laugher, he saw her. Rose looked away suddenly shy. She felt him gazing upon her long caramel legs, just stopping at the place where leg seemed to end, and her dress began. His eyes traveled upward still until they met hers once again. The way he gazed at her made her body shudder. The sight of him drew her in more. His body looked as if it was carved with complete care as she looked at it covered with his deep red shirt, which was matched perfectly with a pair of black pants. He smiled a small smile as their eyes met. Rose felt her cheeks blush as he watched her. The crowd continued to laugh and before she had time to react, she saw him excuse himself from them and make his way toward her.
She felt his eyes upon her and inhaled deeply. She turned and took a small drink and there, beside her, he stood. "Hello, my name is Leigh, and you are?" Rose turned quickly and found him smiling at her, his gaze holding her heart. "Rose." She responded.
"Very nice to meet you Rose. I hope you donβt mind me saying this but you are very beautiful."
"Thank you." She responded as she blushed deeply. He laughted at her reaction, his fangs showing a bit more. Rose looked on in awe. "Oh, you like these? A friend made them for me. Maybe I can test how much you like them later." He said taking her hand. "Come on my red Rose, let's dance." He took her hand and led her to the floor.
They danced throughout the night; she loved the feeling of his body pressed against hers. He moved gracefully to the fast rhythms, holding her close. He began to kiss her neck softly while whispering into her ear. " I want to taste you, drink your nectar, my sweet rose." He said. His voice made her heart flutter. Rose felt the wetness grow between her legs, but tried to ignore it. The night continued and time began to take its toll, soon it was late. The party came to an end and it was time to go. "Can I take you home Rose?"
