***

I’m in a hazy, surreal, sunset-tinted landscape, standing in a structure surrounded by many white columns high on a mountaintop. A fragrant breeze blows through the open building, causing my white filmy gown to mold itself to my body. I stare out at the expansive horizon, mesmerized by the ethereal, magical view, breathing in the rarified air. I am light — free.

Sensing a presence, I shift my gaze away from the stunning scenery and turn to the handsome figure lounging against a column.

“Ah, there you are, Doctor. It took me a while to break through all your savior’s spells and incantations. I must tell you, this adventure is turning out to be even more exciting than I expected. I had no idea Devereux had become so powerful. What a treat for me to defeat and control such a vampire. It’s almost a shame he isn’t the one I’ve come to harvest.”

“Hallow? Where am I?”

He ambles toward me, smiling, his long hair fanning out in the wind. “Mount Olympus, of course. The home of the gods. Or at least one god.”

“You’re a god?”

His smile spreads wider. “Unavoidably.”

“Why am I here?”

He saunters in a circle. “I’m preparing you to be my next lýtle.”

Wary, I turn to follow his motion. “Your what?”

“Lýtle. It’s an Old English word. It translates as female slave, but I’ve given it much richer meaning over the centuries.”

I shake my head. “This can’t really be happening. I’m not going to be anybody’s slave. This is a delusion — a dream, right?”

He stops moving and stands in front of me. “Let’s just say it’s a dream dimension. The actual explanation would raise too many questions, and I must return you to your body before you become too attached to this reality. It isn’t your time to transition yet, but I couldn’t resist claiming you again, just to confound the magicians. And speaking of your knight in shining armor, I have masked your memories from our time together. He will not find them.”

He steps close, pulls me against his body and stares at me with his shimmering silver eyes. “I am perplexed by my unexpected interest in you. I had not anticipated I’d find you so intriguing. It appears that I desire more than your blood and obedience and that makes me curious. My reactions to you are odd. It isn’t often that anything surprises me.”

“Don’t you already have a harem of women who do whatever you order? Why would you want someone who would rather die than willingly submit to you?”

He laughs. “That is no doubt one cause for the fascination. It will be exciting to break you.”

He cocks his head and lowers his mouth to my neck. The sharp points of his fangs slice through my skin and I groan, my muscles melting. He wraps me more tightly in his arms and as he sucks blood from my vein a full-body orgasm radiates through me. I writhe in his arms, gasping. He raises his mouth from the punctures and brings his soft, warm lips to mine.
