Dared
once, it’s game on -- let’s play.
This
is not your Garden of Eden!
Excerpt:
“Because I can.”
“Why? Why!”
Vald Gerlach never gave a second
thought to why. He didn’t have to. If he wanted to do it, he did. If he
desired having it, he took it. “Jesus, didn’t I answer that already?”
“Don’t you understand it’s
wrong?” Adam stood before him expounding on something or another Vald had done
or would do.
Vald had stopped listening to the
heavenly being long before Adam voiced the second question, and now there were
more. Christ, watching Adam’s toned body glisten with water as he had climbed
from the enormous pond after Vald appeared in the Garden of Eden stirred
rampant memories of life’s forbidden fruits, memories Vald wouldn’t mind
reliving.
“Do you have no feeling of
remorse?”
“Remorse for what?” Concentrate,
damn it.
Adam, the first man God had
placed on Earth, was haranguing Vald for possessing what Adam himself was
responsible for. The unrelenting thirst for everything that felt and tasted
good which existed in Vald’s cold, undead body came directly from the
magnificent male in front of him. If there was an honest bone in Vlad’s body,
that came from Adam as well. Fuck, considering Vald had stolen the first woman
placed in the beautiful, serene garden to ease Adam’s loneliness, Vald probably
owed Adam something.
He remembered his first meeting
with Lilith.
Vald had slithered in the shape
of a serpent through the tree filled with shiny red fruit and landed at her
feet. Wrapping around long, luscious legs, he slid up her ripe body licking and
sniffing every inch. When he took on the form of a man, a form damn near more
perfect than Adam’s as heaven and hell had a hand in his existence, Vald eyed
her with one thought in mind -- bedding her. Lilith had extended her hand as
if a dainty maiden, yet her heart beat with lust and yearning. Vald had taken
proffered fingers in his and pressed them to his lips before embracing her,
burying fangs into Lilith’s jugular, and extracting her sweet blood. In
minutes, she was beneath Vald with his penis buried deep inside her.
Adam never forgave him, nor did
he forgive Vald for making her a blood-addicted whore for any wanton vampire
traversing Earth, a place teeming with dark creatures competing for supremacy
in a world gone berserk. Lucifer also made sure Vald never forgot his treatment
of Lilith, and as retribution he had snatched something from Vald the vampire
had yet to forget.
Payback’s a bitch.
“If I remember correctly, Adam,
even then Eve stirred in your body.”
“I’m speaking of the demi-vamps
overrunning Earth.” Adam turned from him in an attempt to hide his true feelings.
“Lilith is a thing of the past.” He jerked around to peer at Vald with icy blue
eyes, chin held high. “Still, Lucifer will not forget.”
“It worked out for the better.”
“You presume to know what God
intended?”
Vald had expended far too much
power traveling to the Garden of Eden, a tranquil and holy place in another
dimension. Haggling with Adam quickly grew tiresome. “He allows many things to
plague His imperfect humans.” Adam eyed Vald warily as he began to circle the
Godly creation. “You were first.” Vald reached and captured a dark, wet curl
lying over Adam’s shoulder. “And still His most perfect creation.”
“I nev-never understood why He
let Satan, or you for that matter, invade the Garden.” When Adam stuttered, it
meant fear passed through his heart. No hellacious creature could ever again
enter this place. What -- who caused his apprehension?
Vald felt a soft, tentative push
in his mind. It ended so quickly, he wondered if he’d imagined it. Shaking his
head, he strengthened his shields. “Adam, you continue to ask why He
mysteriously allowed Lucifer to place me here.” Something Vald never
questioned. Filled with an abundance of righteousness, Adam didn’t understand
the necessity for darkness and evil to subsist alongside good. “Perhaps I am
God’s sword of challenge, His dare to every living thing.” What would men
triumph over if everything remained sweetness and light? “Taking your blood
made me the first undead monster alive.”
Adam sighed. “I continue to need
you even though I have Eve.”
Vald had him. He waited for Adam
to step forward, give him what he required to bolster his extraordinary powers.
Blood -- heavenly blood.
“You cannot.”
“I can.”
“Lucifer’s foul elixir courses
through your veins.”
“Mixed so deliciously with
yours.”
“No, no…”
Vald whispered, “Come to me.”
Tugging hard on the hank of hair he still held closed the distance between
them.
“This must be brought to an end.”
“I will touch parts of you Eve
doesn’t even know exists.”
“Why are you doing this, Vald?”
Growl and roar-it's okay to let the beast out.-jhalisteele
