Uncertain But Willing

I'm alone when I see his face
He brings shivers down my body
I don't know if I'm scared
Or if I'm unsure of his mysteries.
Standing there, I find myself closer
Wanting, desiring his love
Still I hesitate to approach
While he gazes at me with impenetrable eyes.
Frozen with curiosity 
And longing for affection, 
I just glance at him
Hoping for movement.
Stepping back, I feel alone
But he walks toward me,
Giving a seductive look
And runs his fingers down my cheek.
There's no turning back
Now that I'm lifting off my feet,
Carried to the bed
In such a passionate way.
His kiss, so intimate
It provokes my body,
Feeling his chest upon mine
There's no place I'd rather be.
He whispers in my ear,
"I shall turn you"
No fear comes over me,
But uncertainty.
Gently he bites my neck,
Not exactly hurting, 
Just feeling numb and calm
For I love him and will risk it all.

This is exciting to read. The buildup to the bite and the seeing the bite as I read was very erotic. Maybe I am just one of those dudes that always reads sex in everything but I found this exciting.

Wow, this is great Amber. The best vampire write I've read here, which, at the same time, leaves me wondering if it's metaphoric? Love it. Love, Nigel
