Raven nodded, as she finally acknowledged she was the one who chose for her mother to be turned.  His pitched black eyes glanced down, watching her eat each bite of the juicy steak.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">“I also never had to wade through manipulation.”</span></span><br/><br/>A cold smile crept across the vampires pale white lips, and he arched his dark eye brow. "Under the circumstances, you are doing well," he replied calmly. He leaned up glancing over at the antique grandfather clock on the wall for a moment, it of course to dark for human eyes to see, but for him it, the single candle lit up the entire place like a large torch.<br/><br/>"Not long, it will be mostly ceremony, the evidence will be presented before we arrive," he announced, and glanced over at her and calmly clasped his finger tips together.  "You have already made your choice... I will inform them of it, all you will need to do, is listen, to them give their little speech, and look delicious in your red dress," he assured her with a grin.  "I do like how you conduct yourself, if you do decide to become a vampire... I will be the one who turns you," he smiled, "There is no escaping that," he said in soft but eerily dark voice.<br/><br/>His fangs glistened in the candlelight as he leered at her across from the table. "For one year, you belong to me, every bit of you, ... I can do as I wish with you," he grinned, wickedly, "Eventually, I think you will grow tired of just being the food, tired of being weak and helpless,  being told what to do and what to wear," he prompted.   "I will not turn you against your will," he assured her, "But as you said, have observed, vampires are as manipulative as they are sanguine.... I think I will win in the end," he said coldly.<br/><br/>In a flash,  Raven flung the table across the room! The lights went out! it was complete darkness! ... for her at least! In instant the vampire pounced on top of her! Pinning her onto the floor and holding her hands over her head as he straddled her! Leaning in smelling her neckline!<br/><br/>"You are permitted to cry, but if you scream in my ear, I will gag you and things were be very unpleasant you," he whispered to her! Before savagely sinking his long thin fangs deep into her throat! They would sting at first! the pain would be terrible! but eventually the toxins in his saliva would numb and create wonder sensual almost euphoric blissful floating sensation as he fed from her!<br/><br/>Raven groaned softly loving the rush of power he felt as he the first taste of her precious blood! Even thought only on his first mouth full,  heat flood into his body! He felt vibrant and alive! He bite down deeper harder, making it hurt more for her... but also making her blood flow lesson... savoring it. IF he pulled back the puncture wounds would be wider and allowing the blood to gush out. Raven however was not a fledgling and he prided himself in keeping clean, he would not waste a drop of Robin's divine life's essence! He bit down harder... taking his time... letting the blood trickle slowly in small streams into his mouth, and swallowing every twenty to thirty second intervals as her crimson blood collected into his mouth.  Although it was extremely painful, invasive and awkward for her, she was in absolutely no real danger of passing out or dying from blood loss...<br/><br/>Raven indulged himself, her blood was so potent and so strong, so pure! he didn't even feel tempted to open her vein up to gorge on her! No his hungry was quenched and satisfied a five whole minutes ago... he was now just drinking or rather sipping for the pure pleasure and delight!<br/><br/>He kept her hands pinned down above her head,  as he didn't exactly trust her yet, as she might've attempted to stab him... he was no fool, he knew better than to underestimate humans when they were frightened.  He slowly eased back, allowing the two small puncture wounds to close and heal from the saliva in his mouth... red marks however wound not vanish completely.... no it would merely seal up the wound, everybody would see the two fresh sensitive red marks he had left on her throat. She really did belong to him now!<br/><br/>The vampire long groaned softly savoring the sweat taste of her blood that was still in his mouth. He lowered his head, nostrils taking in her scent of her hair... she had sated his thirst for blood but he wasn't finished.... he hungered for more than just blood!<br/><br/>Raven growled as he flipped robin over onto her belly! One hands kept her pinned face down on the floor while the other reached swiftly undid the red silk ribbon lace up of the back of her gown and then slowly pulled the zipper down the back of her dress!<br/><br/>"You may struggle if you wish, it won't do you any good, but I will admire the effort," he teased her cruelly as he unclasped her bra.
