13/31 (Kinda On Hold)

XII: If I Was Your Vampire

"So, since you've never visited a beach before and have already nearly been killed by a wave, what is something you'd like to do." I paused, "other than standing in the water, making out."

"I don't know, what's something you enjoy doing at the beach?"

"Since you seem to be fond of animals, there is snorkeling or there are the tidepools. Which would you prefer? And remember, I never lose, so you will chose in the end."

"Which has more marine life?"

"They're about the same. Tidepools are just smaller creatures and snorkeling is a variety."

"Well, I've never really swam before, so I'm not sure. The tide pools sound easier, but I still want to try snorkeling, which would you prefer?"

"Nope. Not choosing, it's your first time here. You choose. I will stand here, and make you as uncomfortable as possible until you decide." I cross my arms over my chest, staring at her.

"But I want you to choose, you know what you're doing, and since you're the one taking me to the beach for the first time, it's up to you to show me all the interesting things to do and teach me how to do them, like sex."

I raise my eyebrow in amusement and press my lips into a thin line, attempting to hid my smirk. I continue to stare at her, silently.

"Please," she pleads with me, placing her hands on either side my neck, slowly kissing up the side of my neck and jaw.

I shook my head, not giving in.

She trails a hand down my abdomen, fingers brushing against the contours of my stomach. She reaches the waistband of my shorts, drops her hand down several inches, then begins palming me through my swim trunks, still brushing her lips against my neck.

I take a step back, away from her and continue to stare blankly at her.

She takes a step forward, stopping directly in front of me. She brushes the hair away from my ear then whispers, "please Master."

"For fucks sake," I mutter. "You're so fucking lucky I can't say no to that." I grab her wrist and start walking with her following in tow, a triumphant smile plastered on her face.

"So Lord Motionless, what new adventure are we embarking upon now?"

"Since you can't swim, and I'm not teaching you to in the ocean, tidepools are where we're going." I continue walking, without looking back at her.

"I can't wait, baby."

There are multiple tidepools scattered along within the rocks, some smaller, some larger. I walk until I find the largest one and let go of her wrist, she smiles as she walks past me and bends down, looking at it. I cross my arms, as I watch her.

She turns around, noticing my stiffness. She grabs my hands, pulling me towards the pool again, "don't be such a corpse, Chris."

She bends over the tide pool again, pulling my hands into the water, cradling them in her own. She scoops up a starfish, holding it my hands, "it's a valvatida sea star," she says. "See the pink pattern on the red and how it's fatter than the others."

"How do you know so much about sea animals?" I question, looking at her as she smiles at the starfish.

"There were quite a few books about marine life in the library at Darkstar Palace. I studied them with a fury when I was a child."

"Was there any other peculiar topics you read about? Marine life isn't something I'd expect a child to really be into."

"Well it was mainly just all animals, Lord Manson gifted a Menagerie to Dita for their wedding and my Mother was the main caretaker for the animals. I grew up around it, so I wanted to learn all I could about them. There was once a time when I dreamed of being a veterinarian or really anything that had to with animals, but then I had to grow up, and while the knowledge is still there, I realize that those were childhood fantasies and daydreams." she explains, releasing the starfish back into the water.
