Chapter One
Ella's POV
The darkness settled across the town of Lakewood, PA. I was walking home from the bar, with the after taste of vodka and sunny d on my breath. I wasn't drunk nor was I sober, I understood everything that was going around me, just more slowly than usual. My foot steps echoed on the pavement as I directed my path towards the East end of town.
Suddenly I heard wind rushing past my ears, making them cold and bright red. Pulling my collar up to shield my delicate face from the harshness of the night, I had no idea that night would change my life forever. Nor did I know what forever meant till that night either. There without warning was a tall menacing figure in front of me.
I froze where I was, I had no idea what I should be doing. I have never been in this kind of situation before. I turned around, screaming and started running. I looked behind me, the guy still hadn't moved, but that didn't stop me from moving myself. I was comforted by the fact that my feet stomped across the tar like nothing, all those hours at the gym were paying off.
I was half a block away when I crashed into someone, I fell backwards onto my well worked on ass. Stumbling for an apology I looked into dark entrancing green eyes, I felt like I was being pulled into them. Felt like I was drowning in them, he was doing it just to torture me. I saw a flash of bright white teeth, no wait not teeth, fangs.
My mouth flew open, and my hands instinctively went to the side of my neck. The vampire,--Weird thought to think to ones self --is gonna kill me. I gulped, raising my chin higher, if I was gonna die I wanted to die with all the courage I could muster. His gloved hand reached down for me, surprising me, he raised me up onto my feet.
"If you want your pride intact, I want you to follow me, and quietly. If you don't I'll throw you over my shoulder, kicking, and screaming." I had no desire to be thrown over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, brushing myself off, I nodded my head forward.
His fangs were gone, but in placement were beautifully sculpted straight teeth. He held out his pale angelic hand for me, I sighed, and placed my hand in his. Instead of cold I felt heat shooting up my arm, and warmth evaporating my hand. I noticed what he was wearing finally, he had on dark jean pants, a warn brown leather coat over his unbutton white shirt.
His chest hair was peaking out of the folds of his shirt, and I shivered from the cold on my skin, and from the heat that ranged uncontrollable from my body. I wanted him. Now theres a shocker, I thought I was Ella Makyla, sweet, caring and innocent. Yes, innocent of anything sexually, I've never even kissed a guy, and here I am lusting, LUSTING after a who knows how old vampire. My life is awesome.
"Are you cold Princess?" I looked up into his eyes and felt not a trace of cold from him, not even from a vampire. Vampire still gotta get use to that word. Vampire, vampire, vamp---- "Are you okay?" The vampire interrupted my thoughts.
"Um yes, I am okay. Also, I am cold." Being a vampire, and obviously a gentlemen, he tugged off of his brown jacket, and placed it over my shoulders.
Why in the world is he being so friendly? Yet he is kidnapping me, or forcing me to go with him? Not sure which
"Come on---- Oh forgive my manners I forgot to ask you your name." Oh how sweet, how charming.
"It's Ella, Ella Makyla, and, who might you be. I'm tired of think you as the vampire."
"How... Unambiguous. I'm Trenton Vantenio." His bright red hair framing his face. So Godlike. I thought. Trenton chuckled.
"What in the world is so funny, Trenton?"
"Godlike? Far from it."
"How did you..."
"Ah my Ella that is easy I can read your mind. Well, somewhat, that was a very clear thought, so I received it very well, but, I do thank you for the compliment."
"Oh, duh vampire. Must have some sorta supernatural powers." I said out loud. "Why only sometimes?"
"I'm not connected to you emotionally, or physically, yet." Trenton said defiantly. I blew up.
"How in the world do you think I would want to be connected to you? Your so----- sure of yourself!"
"Yes, I know have been for five hundred years. So let the fun begin."
"What fun?"
"To get you to fall head in heels in love with me, or just horny enough so we can procreate. Either way one leads to the other."
Chapter Two
Ella's POV
I stutter because all my thoughts just rushed out of my head. Procreate? He wants to knock me up, I don't think so!
"Why you cocky bastard! I have no wish to be anywhere near you, and certainly not close enough to do ANYTHING with you."
Why what a disturbing thought, I haven't done anything sexual with anyone, and I'm not going to break my record with him!
I turned around intending to run off before I got even madder, when Trenton grabbed me from the waist, turning me to face him, and placed his amazingly soft lips on mine.
An unfamiliar heat scorched my lips as a shiver went up my spine, my arms seemed to be move all on their own as they circled his neck, and pulled his warmth closer. Trenton's chest pressed against my breasts, my nipples were sensitive, and hard. Putting them up to his chest eased the ache, and brought a moan of ecstasy to my lips.
Trenton slowly eased himself away from me, seeming reluctant, my eyes were huge, and glazed with desire fogging my brain. He looked down with tenderness, and understanding.
"Ella? Look at me." My gaze shot up to his, our body's wants pulsing through the air like a heat wave in the summer. "All right just seeing if your okay, why do you seem like you have never done this sorta thing. Never been with a guy before?" He ask sarcastically.
My chin tilted out, my eyes flashing intense grey color, and my cheeks burning.
"If you must know yes, I've never been with a guy before." Surprise flashed through Trenton's eyes, and he brush my flushed cheek.
"Sorry, Elly I didn't think about that being a possibility. Your just so beautiful, I just assumed you would have been with someone. I can tell your definitely not a lesbian." Lesbian, gosh never!
"Well, I have nothing to say to that." Trenton looked at me intently. "What?"
"Why have you never been with anyone?" Oh gosh, why did he have to ask that question?
"I don't like pain, nor did I want to give someone something special in the back of a car." Trenton smiled, pushing a piece of my hair out of my eyes.
"Whenever you decide that we can sleep together, I'll make it special." I raised an eyebrow at his assumption that I'd want to sleep with him, but I also melted at what he said. He would make it special, and he's not gonna force me!
"Your not gonna force me? Force me to sleep with you?" I asked timidly, Trenton's eyes widen, and his mouth frowned.
"I would never make someone be intimate with me, men who do that are horrible people with no idea how rape can affect a woman. I am offended that you think that I'd do that, even if you don't know me."
My mouth dropped open. Wow a gentleman, and gods he's seems hurt too. When I looked pass that angry inscribed on his face, and into his eyes, I saw pain too.
"I'm sorry Trent, I didn't mean to hurt you." Trent? Where did that come from?
The corner of Trent's mouth quirked as he placed his arm around my waist, and for some reason I let him. Perhaps because I felt bad that I hurt him. I tried to convince myself that was the only reason. It is. I insisted, for my own peace of mind.
"Come on Ella, lets get going." He pulled me along gently, and I followed beside him in silence. Then one thing that keep coming to my mind, and it wouldn't go away. What did Trent mean by procreate? Does he want a child, is that what he want? Why in the world would a vampire want a child, it's not like he'd need one to keep on his legacy he could do that by himself. The one thought that pushed through my mind more than the rest were, Why does he want a baby with me?
