He was neat, that was for sure. There was not a single item that looked misplaced in the whole condo. The place was immaculately clean. It was also very sparse. There was enough room in the condo for a lot more stuff, but Alexander kept it relatively empty, with a lot of free floor space. There had to be a reason for that but she just couldn’t figure out what.
By the time she finished going through the apartment it was close to sunset time, as far as she knew. She walked back out to the sitting room and watched and waited for Alexander to wake up.
It happened suddenly sometime later. His eyes simply opened and his lungs filled with air, once. He looked at her and smiled. “My dirty little bitch was so good last night.”
Ansuya easily returned the smile, “I want to please you, Alexander.”
“Oh, if you keep up what you did last night, I’m sure I could die happy. In fact,” he moved almost too quickly for her to react. She forced her reflexes to stillness and accepted his weight as he pressed down on her into the couch, his mouth and lips pressing and sucking on hers. She grabbed his hips and tried to roll on top of him, but she was too weak for even a playful maneuver, much less when Alexander had no real interest in playing. She accepted his mouth and tongue in an eager way, forcing her own bile back down her throat and resisting every urge to try to push him away. Suddenly her stomach came to her rescue by ripping and moaning loudly enough to echo.
Alexander stopped what he was doing and looked down at Ansuya. She grabbed her stomach in mock pain and embarrassment; it also gave her some much-appreciated separation from the unwanted presence of the cold vampire body. Alexander got up from the couch and ran his hands through his black hair. He looked around the apartment and then down at his feet. “I, uh, don’t have any food for you, at least not anything that you could eat. I have some blood if you people can drink that.” He said this almost like he was dumb enough to believe it.
Ansuya looked up at him and gently shook her head, “No, we eat normal food.”
“Oh, ok, so like pizza, cheeseburgers, that sort of thing?”
She couldn’t tell if he was joking with her or if he was just that stupid. Although the way she was now she would eat those things if it was the only thing available. No, what she wanted was food. She pushed out more scents toward the vampire, “No, Alexander what I would like is Naan, with Basil Pesto Hummus, Butter chicken with Basmati rice, and Gulab Jamun. It wouldn’t be too much to ask for that would it? I deserve a little treat after last night, don’t I?” she playfully asked with a coy seductive smile.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Alexander twisted his face in a questioning glance. “I don’t have a clue what you just said, or what any of that stuff is, much less where I would get it from. How bout I just order you a pizza?” He started to get up.
She let the smile fall from her face. “Alexander.” She said in a very commanding voice. The vampire stopped and looked at her, his face was asking the question, ‘why did I just stop what I was about to do?’
Ansuya continued, “If we are to be a team you need to trust me at least a little as I must trust you. Why don’t you let me order my food and then I will heat up some blood for you from the refrigerator?” There was no hint of playfulness or compromise on her features or in her stature.
Alexander stared at the woman sitting across from him for long moments. Then, looking as if he didn’t quite know why he was doing it, he took out his wallet and handed it to her. Ansuya smiled as she stood up. Taking the wallet from his hand she kissed him fully with her lips and mouth. She left the dazed vampire sitting on the sofa and she walked into the study, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand as soon as she was out of sight.
Several Minutes later Ansuya exited the room. She was smiling and she handed back Alexander’s wallet. She then sat down on a sofa facing him. She crossed her legs at the knees and folded her hands on top of them.
“Alexander, we need to talk, you and I,” she said with a certain amount of command but polite as well. She had Alexander in her sway, but his secondary ability to resist her pheromones was something that she hadn’t figured out the full spectrum of yet. Better to play it safe than lose all the ground she had gained.
The vampire sat there in a relaxed posture, looking a little bored, “What do we have to talk about?”
“You were telling me about an incident in the Port District, why is House Himura being attacked?” Ansuya asked as innocently as she could with as much wide-eyed innocence as she could muster.
“Probably because they’re weak,” he responded quickly. “I wouldn’t worry about the Japs, baby. If someone is moving in on their territory it’ll only make crushing their House that much easier.” He got up and sat down next to her and kissed her hungrily. “Forget about it.”
Ansuya smiled up at him as she pressed closer into him, “But if House Himura can be attacked, isn’t that an enemy that House Brandt should keep tabs on? Isn’t it better to know when an enemy is thinking about striking and be prepared for it, than to be surprised by their attack?”
Alexander was groping and massaging her body as she spoke but her words made him hesitate. He looked down on her and nodded, “Yeah, yeah you may be right. Even if they are stupid enough to try to attack House Brandt, which they won’t, it’ll be easier to destroy them after they’ve bloodied themselves on the Asians.”
