Song Challenge:  Ever Closer
by darkangel

     "you let me violate you,
     you let me desecrate you
     you let me penetrate you,
     you let me complicate you"


Nick couldn't sleep again.  It was becoming all too common these
days...

     "help me i broke apart my insides,
     help me i've got no soul to sell
     help me the only thing that works for me,
     help me get away from myself"

It had all started with innocence - the light brush of a hand, the
teasingly ruffled hair.  But every time he touched her, his
beautiful, mortal love, the beast awoke.

     "i want to fuck you like an animal
     i want to feel you from the inside
     i want to fuck you like an animal
     my whole existence is flawed
     you get me closer to god"

The vampire in him longed to taste her blood, to make her one with
him in ways that she could never imagine.  But the image was all too
clear to him...

     "you can have my isolation,
     you can have the hate that it brings
     you can have my absence of faith,
     you can have my everything"

That's why he was awake, staring at the ceiling and seeing only her
face.  Perfect memory called up her soft skin, her smile, the
graceful curve of her neck.  He rolled onto his side, to rub his
cheek against the silk sheets and wonder what it would feel like to
have her here in his arms.  Warm skin, oh god, and soft, fragrant
hair...  He could easily recall the scent of her.

     "help me tear down my reason,
     help me it's your sex i can smell
     help me you make me perfect,
     help me become somebody else"

He hated his supernatural senses just now; knowing intimately the
minute changes in her body chemistry which produced the musky smell
of her arousal didn't make their platonic relationship any easier.
Giving into the memory, he could almost feel her here with him.  He
closed his eyes, felt his fangs drop as he let his hand slip beneath
the black silk pajamas he wore.  The temptation was just too great.
He rolled back onto his back, slid down the pajama bottoms, and let
his head fall back further into the pillow as he lost himself in the
image of her.

     "i want to fuck you like an animal
     i want to feel you from the inside"

Yes, that was her hand on his stiffened sex; her small chuckle of
delight as she teased him.  Her fingers, hot with life and passion,
cupping his scrotum and teasing the delicate flesh there.  Her palm
against his thigh, raking her nails playfully.  He growled in
response, getting close to the point of release.  Still rubbing his
cock, she lifted his wrist to her mouth and kissed the skin lightly.

     "i want to fuck you like an animal!"

She looked up from his wrist and smiled, her eyes golden with lust
and sharp fangs glittering in the candlelight.  Oh, god, how
beautiful she was...  She bit into his wrist as she increased her
friction on his cock.  He couldn't hold back any longer.  He pulled
her onto him, and bit into her as he came...

     "my whole existence is flawed
     you get me closer to god"

Nick slowly, sadly opened his eyes, the fantasy gone.  This
particular dream was his one, guilty pleasure.  He wiped the bloody
tears from his eyes and the come from his abdomen.  Still crying, he
examined the marks on his wrist where he'd bit himself.  The wounds
were healing already, as always.  He curled up into fetal position,
pulling the blankets around him into a warm, lonely cocoon.  As he
slid into a black, dreamless sleep, her name escaped his lips:
"Natalie..."

     "through every forest, above the trees
     within my stomach, scraped off my knees
     i drink the honey inside your hive
     you are the reason i stay alive"

LaCroix smiled to himself as he left his perch on the roof of Nick's
loft.  His child had been so caught up in his fantasy that he hadn't
noticed his maker watching through the skylight.  And now, LaCroix
knew exactly what Nick wanted...
