He watched her from the shadows as she hurried across the street. Her six inch heels forced her tight little ass to tilt upward, causing the bottom of her buttocks to peek crudely from beneath her short plaid skirt.
A well dressed, handsome man in his 40s held the door for her and she ducked inside and shook off the cold. She slowly peeled off her jacket as she hopped up on a stool at the end of the bar. Her friends from work left their table to join her and entered into a competition to buy her first drink. She was the only female in an office full of men that lusted after her during the daytime hours and thought of her when they were with their wives. The bartender laughed and sat a Long Island iced tea down in front of her.
The night wore on and unfolded in the typical fashion: flirting, drinking, karaoke, more drinking, even a trip outside to her best friend Bradley's car to smoke a joint. By the time two AM rolled around and she stumbled outside with the rest of the crowd, her head was spinning. She said goodnight to her friends and decided to take a walk to sober up a bit before attempting the drive home.
She noticed him this time, leaning against the wall next to her car. He was tall, with dark eyes that sent shivers down her spine. She found it difficult to turn away and might have stood there until morning if not for another random pedestrian who bumped into her as he passed by. She turned and started walking, resisting the temptation to take a second look at the stranger with the hypnotic eyes.
She stopped to check out a pair of boots in the window of a store and noticed that her new friend had crossed over to her side of the street and was approaching at a steady pace. She quickly continued on her way, trembling as she felt his stare. He set her on edge, there was an air of danger about him and she wasn't sure if it excited her or filled her with fear, maybe a bit of both.
She could see his long shadow on the ground as she walked, closing in; he matched her pace. Her breathing quickened. She shoved her hands in her pockets, closing her jacket tighter.
She turned a corner and collided with another man coming from the opposite direction, she apologized and quickly tried to sidestep him but found that he had a grip on her arm so strong that she was clearly at his mercy. Panic set in as she realized he was dragging her into the alley, he pushed her against the brick wall and lifted her off the ground. It was dark, she couldn't see his face but she did catch a glimpse of his gleaming fangs before feeling them sink into her neck.
