Skin Deep

by Kat Black

I love the smell of a summer’s night in the city. Nowhere more so than here, in the club district, where the young and vibrant come to seek their nocturnal hedonistic pleasures. In the guise of a human man I come also, to hunt, drawn by the irresistible lure of life at its most decadent.

Tonight, sweat and desire saturate the humid air, drenching my senses and coating my tongue with the dark, velvety taste of sin – my favourite flavour. I draw the essence deep, sharpening the already keen edge of the Hunger, tensing every fibre of my being in anticipation of the coming chase.

Ignoring the crowds that wander the streets, I descend the stairs to a nightclub named Skin, where the patrons like to wear just that and very little else. Without slowing at the entrance, I cast the doorman a glance over the top of my dark glasses. His eyes pop wide as they meet the otherworldly glow of mine then glaze over before the shock of the impossible has a chance to fully register. He shivers as I pass, but sees nothing and will remember even less. Better for him that I go about my nightly business undetected.

Once inside, I slip through the shadows and stake claim to a vantage point along the rear wall.

Under pulsing Technicolor lights, the dance-floor heaves with a press of bodies getting down to a hard-funk beat. Into the undulating mass, a fresh group of semi-clad young things strut their way, driving like a wedge through the crowds.

With Mediterranean-dark good looks, they move with a loose-limbed, sensuous grace – beautiful, desirable, and knowing how to make the best of both. Laughing, they begin to dance, teasing and titillating, and as the air around me grows heavy with lust-laced pheromones, it’s obvious I’m not the only one captivated by their sultry show.

However, while the human desire is directed at all the smooth olive skin on display, my own cravings run a little deeper – to the promised pleasure of the warm spiced blood coursing beneath the surface of that firm flesh.

I find my interest piqued by the tallest of the group – a new-grown man with glossy black curls and the taut vitality of his youth evident in the lean physique revealed by the shirt he wears unbuttoned. Full of the arrogance of youth, he radiates confidence and pride, and
