Startled awake, her eyes flashed open. What was it? She wondered.
At first her senses detected nothing, she could see nothing, hear nothing, or even smell anything out of the ordinary, but she 'sensed' something was there.
Her eyes scanned the room, first the door and then the windows. They remained shut as she had left them. She swung her head, looking around the furnishings, her cabinet, wardrobe and chair. Nothing. Her eyes looked to the deep shadow in one corner, and her mouth fell open, as a startled "WHAT!!" escaped between her lips. About six feet above the floor were two stabbing points of shining red light.
She starred transfixed as a form detached itself from the dark and appeared to glide towards her.
Shaking now, she pulled herself back up the bed, drawing her knees up protectively in front of her, her eyes still fixed on the dual points of light which were its' eyes. She pulled up her bedclothes seeking to cover herself, protect herself.
The figure drew closer and she saw that it was draped in a long black cloak, which reached from its' broad shoulders to trail on the floor at its feet. The cloak parted slightly, and her eyes dropped to see an ebony cane gripped in a pale long-fingered hand. Perhaps thirty inches long, the shiny smooth wood was topped with a silver-coloured orb, which reflected the pale white moonlight, which seeped passed the gap in the curtains.
Arms swept upward, throwing the cloak back, exposing not only a crimson lining, but also his white, firm and totally naked body, which it had concealed. He moved slowly towards her as she sat as if hypnotized, unable to either move or speak.
Reaching towards her, his right hand seized the covers she held protectively beneath her chin. At his questioning look, and beneath his penetrating gaze, she released her grip, and he pulled them roughly from the bed, throwing them to the floor. He stood back and stared down at her.
The thin, almost sheer night-gown she wore did little to conceal her body, but still he frowned his displeasure. With one hand still curled around his black cane, the other grasped the silver orb and twisted.
"Nooo!!" She shrieked, as he pulled free a long rapier like steel blade, and lowered it slowly towards her throat.
Her eyes were wide as he flicked his wrist, and the razor sharp steel quickly, and smoothly swept downwards from her neck, down between her breasts, down over her stomach, finally cutting through the hem of her gown. It fell slightly open to reveal the smooth white flesh of her heaving breast, and their darker pink nipples. As he stared deep into her eyes she pulled back the torn material, easing it back over her shoulders. Letting it slide down her arms, she lay naked on the bed before him, he arms at her side, and her legs slightly parted.
"Mmm Yes!" He almost growled. The swords tip had left a thin trail of blood running down her body. His almost jet black lips parted as he lowered his face towards her chest, his long tongue snaking out between them. Her mouth was dry. She ran her tongue around her lips.
