Chapter 5 - Rendezvous

It was a little more difficult during the week that followed for Drac and Ericka to find some adequate private time together.

News traveled fast around Hotel Transylvania, and it had become no secret of the events that took place between them both after the monsterball game. And with how infatuated Dracula behaved, he was made an easy target for teasing little comments here and there - so much so, that he couldn't be anywhere near his Zing without his friends assuming that he was going to go all the way with her again for the evening. He could hear their voices in his head now.

Hey, there he is! The man of the hour!

Getting the goods after all these years, eh Drac?

Don't worry if you're a bit rusty pal, I know it's been a while for you.

Just remember: No biting and it will all go well!

He scowled as he remembered just how embarrassed he had been when his own father had called him out in front of the guests that were checking in. Vlad had been one of the first to know of his escapade with his Zing, given that the elder vampire's stronger sense of smell meant that he could easily scent Ericka all over him. Drac had been hit with a particularly good thought of her at that moment, and was behaving much more animated in his speech and action. Vlad had just so happened to be walking by the front desk - for who knows what - and smirked.

"Huh," he said to the guests, a gremlin couple from Budapest. "He's usually a grump! I'm surprised to see him so excited." Then he laughed, the jowls on his face shaking with the movement. "But hopefully a good dose of sex every other night will cure the crankiness right out of Mr. Tough Guy. I know it did for me!"

Dracula's eyes had widened, and his cheeks flushed red with both embarrassment and anger.

"OK DAD, THANK YOU."

The Count shook his head as he remembered how his response to his dad was met only with laughter. He couldn't face the guests after that, and had to ask one of the zombie bellhops to escort the couple to their room.

But Dracula didn't want to let the memory bother him. Instead, he adjusted his rather cramped position from where he was at, and made sure to keep a tight hold on the door with his magic to ensure that it remained closed. He tapped his foot and waited.

Surely, it would be any minute now.

Ericka sighed.

It had been an exhausting few days to say in the least. When her monster friends got word of her and Drac's consummation - how they did, she was not sure - they would not stop pestering her about the details. Eunice had stopped her for the third time that morning, begging her to "Kiss and Tell." Crystal had wanted to know if she was "sub or dom." Wanda had pulled her aside and given her an armful of contraceptives. Use them, honey, because if you forget - like I have every time I get in the mood with Wayne - you'll end up like me. Wanda had patted her swollen belly - the third or fourth pregnancy that Ericka had seen since living at the hotel - and then padded away to take care of her 300+ wolf pups.

Ericka stifled a chuckle as she packed them away in a drawer inside her room. Perhaps she could use it sometime soon, but the only way that would happen is if she could catch Drac alone so that they could perform the act to begin with. And that had not been all too possible in the last week. Her great-grandfather had mostly been the one to intercept her if she went off and tried to go up to Drac's chambers. He would tsk for a moment, crossing his arms, and then frown up at her.

You've been sneaking around my back, trying to SLEEP with Dracula again, haven't you?!

Ericka scoffed. So WHAT if I have? she thought. I am a grown woman! I have the right to sleep with whoever I want...
