The Lure of a Vampire

A Mysterious Man

In front of her, speaking with her father was the hottest guy Chastity ever laid her eyes on. And he was enormous! At least a full foot taller than her, with wide shoulders that tapered down to a thin waist and the most scrumptious abs she had ever seen. His hair was black, almost as dark the night sky and green eyes that stared deep into her soul.

"Hello...." Chastity trailed off breathlessly before managing to stammer, "W-What's going on?"

"Finally, you're home!" Her dad exclaimed in his usual drunken slur. "Where have you been?"

Chastity balked at his angry tone as she glanced sheepishly at the dark stranger. "I was working. You know I always work after school."

"That's gotta stop. No way are you gonna be allowed to work once your married," the drunken words were confusing to Chastity; and she assumed the beer and whoever the stranger was had confused him.

Chastity looked to the stranger, "Look, I don't know who you are but you really should go. My dad, he... uh... has a problem and isn't quite okay right now." Then with a look up and down his magnificent body, taking in the expensive suit and tie she added, "If your here to collect on bills we'll pay them as soon as we can and if your selling something you've come to the wrong place because we don't have any money."

A look that resembled pity flashed across his features and he opened this mouth to say something when her father spoke up once more, "That's your fiance, you stupid cow."

Chastity staggered backwards as if she had been slapped in the face, shock and disbelief overcoming her, "What?"

"I'm Max," the dark stud finally said, the introduction was said with an air of sophistication as he outstretched his hand in Chastity's direction.

"I don't care who the hell you are! What in the name of holy fuck is going on?"

"He's taking you off my hands! Don't talk to him like that, you ungrateful brat." Chastity's father screamed back at her, his free hand lifting to strike her.

Chastity prepared for the blow, she knew it would land across her left cheek and send her reeling like always so she shut her eyes, waiting for the strike to come but it never did.

Peaking her eyes open she saw Max no longer stood near her and was in front of her father, his hand holding her father's meaty wrist in his grasp. "You don't strike what is not yours," Max growled angrily.

"She's too wild, I have to hit her once and while to keep her in line," her father defended, yanking himself from the bigger man's grasp.

"That is my job," Max retorted before turning back to Chastity who stood meekly by, watching the entire ordeal. "I will be back tomorrow night, just after sunset. Have your things prepared."

"I-I don't even know you! I can't go anywhere with you."

Max's eyes turned cold before saying, "The choice is no longer your own. If I have to come find you myself I won't be happy." Then shifting his eyes towards her father once more. "If I come to retrieve her and she is not as she is now I will take it as you reneging on our arrangement."

And as those words hung in the air Max left, the door closing quietly behind him as Chastity stared stupidly after him.
