Thanks to all you readers who said you enjoyed my last story.
This one is a bit different and I'm not sure it belongs in Loving Wives, but here goes anyway.
There is some sex and extreme violence so be warned, this is extreme BTB as in burn the bastards.
If this story is received well I may keep the MC for other stories non-related to this one.
..............................
As I sat and watched my wife's tormentors suffer, I thought back to how this started.
First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am three thousand years old give or take a couple of hundred years. I was born in Sparta Laconia and raised as a warrior. I fought in the ranks of the three hundred alongside Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae.
As I lay there dying a man approached me and stood staring down at me, he then did the strangest thing. He bent down and bit me, standing up he seemed to savour my taste.
''Yes, you are one of us congratulations''.
He then effortlessly picked me up and carried me away. He took me to a cave, laid me down, and gave me something to drink, and I fell into a heavy sleep. When I awoke, I felt refreshed, and all the pain was gone. There was nothing there when I looked for my wounds; I was completely healed. This was the beginning of my life as a vampire.
The man I was to call Sim as I couldn't pronounce his real name then spent months teaching me about Vampires.
1/ You can't be turned just by being bitten, you have to have a certain gene and only one person in a million has this gene. A Vampire can sometimes sense when a person has this gene and will then turn them. If we bite a human for blood we also leave them a present. We take blood but give them some of our saliva which not only heals the bite marks within seconds. But it also gives that person extra healing properties and resistance to all illnesses.
2/ Forget about Bram Stoker vampires or Hollywood's Blade we are few in number and don't prey on Humans. We are not affected by sunlight, we can't change into a bat or wolf and we can't turn into smoke to get into a room. We also don't burn in sunlight we tan just as humans do. We don't actually need human blood to survive we eat everything humans do including garlic. We only need human blood to regenerate when we get old, we age the same as any human and if we don't regenerate we die. We don't need to suck blood we have laboratories all over the world that process donated blood into tablet form which we ingest when needed.
3/ What can we do? We can move at great speed over short distances faster than the eye can follow. Or we can travel great distances faster than an Olympic sprinter. We are stronger than twenty men and can see in the dark. We can't turn into smoke but we can walk through walls, we touch the object we want to walk through and match its vibration and just slip through. Anything we are holding comes with us. We heal quickly in a matter of seconds and we can only be killed by decapitation.
When we do these things, we sap reserve power, which has to be replaced by blood. That's why we carry blood tablets. In an emergency, we can drink animal blood to replenish our reserves, but it's unpleasant. When we use these powers (we call it vamping up) we go through certain physiological changes. Our eyes glow red, two-inch fangs replace our canine teeth and our fingernails grow out to one and a half inches. These are our main weapons as they can easily cut glass. We can also produce a pheromone that induces a coma-like state and makes the subject very susceptible to suggestion.
All in all, we live as humans, we get married and have children who are not born as vampires (female Vampires are sterile). We live a perfectly normal life and when our partner dies we disappear to one of our regeneration centres and start again. We keep a low profile as a war on vampires would see us exterminated. We have centres all over the world to help us with our new identities. We collectively own many of the world's leading companies so finance isn't a problem but we are obliged to start new companies to add to our wealth and leave for our children. (children born to vampires rarely have the vampire gene and live as normal humans) Some of us do mundane jobs such as bus drivers or builders but all have a stake (no pun intended) in our overall wealth and access to it.
I myself have been a Taylor, soldier (my favourite), civil servant. Entrepreneur and even a surgeon. I have many degrees and qualifications, living as long as I have you have time to spare. I am currently the owner of an engineering company producing a new environmentally friendly industrial battery. It's the first of its kind and aimed at the auto industry. We currently produce batteries for home and industry use. As one of the leaders in this field, we have assets of over one billion dollars.
I last regenerated several years ago back to the age of eighteen and with forged (you couldn't tell the difference) documents enrolled with MIT. I was using the name of Brian King (he was my best bud in my last life) My time at MIT was mostly uneventful apart from meeting Sarah. She was studying Architecture and Marketing and I was studying Science and Engineering. We met at a party and hit it off straight away. She was interested in ancient architecture and I could converse about it with some degree of personal knowledge. Having helped design some of the buildings long since decayed. You could say it was love at first bite sorry I meant sight. I won't bore you with the details but after graduation, we married. It was just us and a couple of friends at the ceremony. Sarah had been brought up by her aunt after her parents were killed in a light plane crash while on holiday. Her aunt was in a nursing home with advanced Alzheimer's so there was no point in having her there. Sarah looked stunning in her bridal wear in fact she looked stunning in anything. At 5'6'' with golden blond hair and a killer figure, she looked like Aphrodite reborn.
I started an engineering company and Sarah began to look for work as a qualified Architect. My startup was easy as I had unlimited funds available to me. (I told Sarah a relative had died and left me money but not how much) Sarah was having a hard time being accepted into a male-oriented profession, which was getting her down. I suggested she use her other degree and apply for a job in marketing. It only took a few weeks and she started at a local firm as a junior marketing assistant (go for). She said she enjoyed the job and was confident she could eventually become manager of her team. There was some travel involved but not too often, she would be away for up to a week at a time. I never worried about her she phoned me every night and we talked for hours.
A year later we were thinking of starting a family but she wanted to make manager first just to show that she could. She was now the deputy team leader and she was told if she did well over the next year she could have her own team. One of the other team leaders was retiring and his deputy was new and wasn't ready to take his place. I was happy for her and all seemed well, that is until her company's Christmas party. We arrived and were shown to our table, we were the first to arrive at that table so we ordered a drink and waited for the others.
The first to arrive was Mike Trent and his wife Hellen, Sarah introduced us to each other explaining Mike was the leader of another team. Mike was about 6'2'' and looked as though he worked out, Hellen was about 5'2'' with Brown hair and a body to die for. I was surprised when Mike and I shook hands and he tried for a bone crusher. As I looked at his face he seemed to sneer at me as he said hello. The sneer vanished as I crushed his hand, he looked almost afraid as he snatched his hand away. I am only 5'11'' so not an imposing figure so I assumed he was trying to assert his dominance over me. (typical jock)
Sarah noticed the interchange and looked at me as much to say. ''What?'' I let it go and took my seat but he kept glancing over at me with a worried look on his face. We ordered another round of drinks (alcohol has no effect on Vampires) and waited for Sarah's team leader to arrive. Mike was hanging around the entryway when a couple came through the man was about 6'4'' and fit and his wife was about 5'8'' and a red-headed bombshell. Mike pulled the man to one side and I saw them engage in an animated discussion with frequent looks in my direction. Mike headed for the bar for more drinks and the couple came over. Sarah introduced us all to each other and Frank held out his hand which I took. He didn't try to crush my hand so we just shook and he sat down, I held out my hand to his wife which she ignored and sat down. Sarah was looking bemused at our antics and I mouthed ''Later'' to her. Mike came back with drinks for everyone and as he put one in front of me I saw the little head nod he gave Frank. I guessed the drink had been doctored and confirmed it when I tasted it, the taste was subtly different but I could tell the difference. I wondered what it was supposed to do, whatever it was it wouldn't work on me. I was worried that they had done something similar to Sarah so I tasted hers too. I was relieved to find it a normal martini, I made it obvious that I had drunk all of my drink and ordered another round. Mike and Frank were watching me for some reaction which never came (let them work that out).
As the night wore on and we had all danced with each other's spouses Mike and Frank were getting slowly drunk and louder. Mike and Frank went to the men's room followed by me, as they were taking a piss I slipped in unnoticed and went into one of the stalls.
Frank:
''Are you sure you put it in his drink?''
Mike:
''Yes just like usual he should be out for the count by now and we could be having fun with Sarah''.
''I'm not sure it's going to be that easy this time I've tried all the usual chat-ups and light touching but she doesn't respond like the others. If we're going to add her to our harem we need to change tactics. I hinted that if she wanted to make team leader she might have to work a little harder if she knew what I meant. I don't think she did, every advance I make she shuts me down. I think she realises the job is hers as a matter of course. Charles(CEO) thinks the sun shines out of her ass and I'm sure he wants some of that.''
''He knows if we turn her he'll get his turn he always does''. Anyway, it's time we went back or the girls will get antsy and think we're misbehaving again. Hellen said if she caught me again she would divorce me and clean me out, Bitch.''
They then left and went back to our table and I followed in a couple of minutes. When I got to the table Mike and Frank were talking and as I sat down Sarah asked where I'd been. When I said. ''To the men's room,'' I thought Frank was going to choke on his beer and Mike nearly dropped his as he gave me a frightened look. I just smiled back and took a sip of my drink.
When we got home I related what I had heard to Sarah and I thought she would be furious. Instead, she just laughed and said.
''I knew Mike and Frank wanted to in my pants but old man Knight that's new and explains why my raise to team leader was so easy. Don't worry I've got their number they've got no chance. With your support, I intend to make team leader and stay working there for the next year and then we can start a family. With the new employment package, covering my maternity costs I'll have access to the company nursery on-site when I go back to work. So, you see I have it all worked out. If they come on too strong I'll report them to HR for harassment and if that old Letcher comes after me I'll tell his wife and sue the company. Do you remember that old Dictaphone you gave me in college? Well, I keep it with me when I have meetings with any of them for reference purposes.''
