The Princess of Vampires

Chapter Six

Chapter Six,

I was determined to push on with my life, so I surrounded myself with all things normal. I need to let the past go and hang on to things that kept me anchored to reality. I read some of the Marius's more sensible novels and immerse myself into it with new zest for life.

That evening as I lay on the couch by the fire reading my novel, I was joined suddenly by Lestat. He took the end of the couch and stared at the flames for a time before speaking with me.

''I heard that you learned all about your past yesterday.'' He said simply.

I nodded. He went on.

''So, you live with Maharet and now Marius. '' He said not really to me but to himself, as if he was just recapping events.

''Do you like it here? ''

I shifted a little and curled up a little more as I tried to get my feet out of his way. But he grabbed them and held them in his lap, massaging them. I could hardly concentrate on my next word because the feeling between my thighs what's distracting. Lestat oozed sexuality and I was consumed by it.

''I...really am pleased with the arrangement with Marius and all he is doing for me. He is the first one to really try to make it happy for me anywhere I ever lived. Although living a solitary life is difficult but I try to keep in touch with the news of the outside world by my keepers. When I lived with mother, she had many people around. I was never lonely, but I hate the fact that I never really been able to go anywhere or do anything.''

He continued to massage me, and butterflies played in my stomach all the while as the pleasure ran all through my veins. Inhaling, he closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the scent of me. It was strange and he was positively indecent the way he smiled and glanced over at me as if he knew something I did not about myself. I pulled up my blanket slightly covering my body a little more. The vampire lestat screamed sensuality and lust. The way he looked at my body had me quivering inside. No doubt he also sensed my growing feelings for him. I never really had experience with the opposite sex. Maharet sheltered me much of my life and I was not permitted to see humans and much of the vampires were either too in awe of me or scared of me to engage in a relationship with me.

''Tell me my Princess have you ever gone out on your own?''

"Sometimes to hunt I had gone out and that was an emergency really, other than that I've been trapped in walls of each keeper domain day in and day out.''

Lestat seem to think a moment on the knowledge that I shared. His face remained thoughtful then suddenly morphed into a handsome sideways grin.

"Perhaps you should come out of your shell a little and see Paris with me. I used to be an actor back in the days of when I was human. It was the best time of my life. You could see the sights with me, and we could go to a party and they have a great little carnival coming up.''

''Marius would never allow me.'' I say doubtfully knowing full well I had a much chance as being able to go out as winning a dance competition. I hate dancing.

''Ah, but we can go to a party. The humans are having a big house party on the mainland. I was going to hunt there, seeing if I could find a bad guy or girl among them.'' He said as his Gray eyes sparkled with possibilities.

''You can't be serious; Marius would never allow this.''

''You got to get out more, besides Akasha is dead. You have nothing to fear from her. I will be with you and no one would dare harm you with me around. Besides it's tis the season.'' said lestat leaning back on the couch grinning at me.
