The Euphoria of Night

He hovers over me, the dark sky visible over his shoulder. The ground is cold and wet from a fall rain. I am shivering from that, as well as fear and excitement. His eyes glow red, and the cars and other street sounds I heard so clearly at the other end of this alley have begun to fade.

He lowers his head and licks the column of my neck. I feel his erection growing as it presses against my stomach.

“Gotcha, my sweet,” and I feel his smile forming against my neck. I feel the erotica slip of fangs against my neck as the euphoria of night overcomes me.
