Page 10 of A Love Tethered to the Sun

Creek Waters

When my body finally decided to move and wake up, things seemed so different.

My senses seemed to be on overload. I opened my eyes as I lay in Pryde’s bed and looked around his room.

My eyes felt like I was watching my life in super high-definition mode.

I sat up quickly like a serial killer from an eighties film, and before I knew it, I had run into his dresser.

Then I ran into his window and got tangled in his curtains.

I moved faster than the speed of lightning around his room until I looked up and saw his room was a complete mess. I was at a loss for words.

How in the hell am I able to move with such speed?

“Ah… I see you’re awake, beautiful,” Pryde said and sped over to me with a glass of green juice in his hand.

“You can move just as fast as me? What the hell is going on, babe?” I jumped backward from his closeness and almost ended up in his closet, but he swiftly grabbed my wrist so I wouldn't fall.

“First, I need you to drink this juice while I talk. I need you to listen fully and with an open heart. Can you do that for me, beautiful?” he pleaded.

I nodded and took the glass of juice as we sat on his bed. Cautiously, I took a sip of the green juice and was stunned at how delicious it was. The flavors married together were amazing, and before I knew it, I’d gulped down the entire glass.

“Damn, that was tasty.” I set down my glass and stretched.

It seemed like I'd digested a glass of magic. With a grin on my face, I turned to Pryde. “I feel so free and energetic. It’s almost like I can accomplish anything!” I exclaimed.

I super-speed walked to the mirror and knocked his hygiene products over as I admired my features.

My eyes flashed gold, and a golden shimmer danced along my dark and white patches of skin.

It was an absolute sight to see. My high cheekbones were more defined.

The round shape of my eyes was more accented.

As the green juice coursed through my body, you could see the green lines in my skin.

I wouldn’t say the drink made me more beautiful, but it enhanced the beauty I was blessed with.

“I’m glad you liked it, and there is more downstairs, but I need you to come over here and focus, sweetness,” he declared.

I sped over to him, and instead of landing next to him, I landed on top of him.

He laughed as we sat up. “I promise, once I get what I need to say out of the way, we’re going to work on that, beautiful. ”

“Alright. The floor is yours, love.”

“Okay. There’s no easy way to say it, so I’m going to just come right out and say it.

You are now a sun vampire, beautiful. Two nights ago, after the set you DJed, you were attacked and bitten by a blood-drinking vampire.

I made it just in time to kill that newborn vampire.

If I hadn’t, you’d be either dead or running around killing humans for blood, and that I can’t allow,” he stated.

Did he just say I was a sun vampire?

I knew he was too good to be true. Pryde was the total package, but now I see. Under all that fineness was a bottle of crazy. “Welp, there it is. I see our time together has ended. You are a great guy, Pryde, but all this vampire talk is just crazy. It's not true,” I replied and stood from the bed.

“Then explain why you can move so fast. You are a sun vampire, Creek.” Pryde abruptly stood and pulled me to his chest. He buried his face in my neck.

His tongue gently traced up and down my collarbone, causing my clit to thump and, oddly, my mouth to water and tingle.

The more he kissed my neck, the hotter my body grew for more of him until the strangest thing happened. My canine teeth begin to protrude.

Huh? Are my teeth growing? Did they really grow, or is this just a sensation?

Pryde continued to get me hot and bothered, motivating my teeth to stretch and my senses to kick into overdrive.

I closed my eyes, unsure of what was going on with me.

With my eyes closed, I used the tip of my tongue to make sure I didn't imagine the motion.

My eyes shot open at the feel of how my teeth had elongated, and they were sharp as hell.

Pryde's large hands trapped my face in place as he kissed me sloppily.

His tongue moved in sync with mine as he pressed his hard body closer to me.

Pryde released my mouth long enough for his tongue to trail over my new teeth.

Oh, hell. I needed to call them what they were. Fangs—my ass now had fangs.

“Yes. You now have fangs. Care to explain that?” Pryde expressed.

I was completely taken aback. “You can read my thoughts?”

“Yours only. You’re worried about me reading your mind when I just told you that you're a sun vampire now?”

“I'm curious about that as well. It's all a lot to take in. How is any of this possible?” I questioned, wiggling out of his embrace and taking a seat on his bed. “Is the story about you being born to two poor farmers and a lawyer even true?”

“Everything I told you is the truth except my age. I’m not thirty-six but one hundred and thirty-six.

I was born in 1888, and in 1924, I was turned into a sun vampire.

It’s a hundred years later, and I finally found my person.

I never had any intentions of turning you—just planned to confess my lifestyle and allow you to make the decision.

Life is nice, but with you, it could be wonderful.

This is another reason why I keep expressing that you are not a bloodthirsty vampire but a sun vampire. ”

“You make it seem like there’s a difference between vampires or something. I’ve watched many different vampire TV shows and movies, and you all do the same thing. You all drink blood from human’s necks,” I stated simply.

He laughed like my statement was a joke for a stand-up comedy special.

“What’s so funny?” I asked him curiously.

“The stereotype you just made is funny. We are not the same, beautiful. My brothers and sisters-in-arms are called sun vampires. We were chosen by the Sun God, Tayo, himself, to protect mankind and punish blood-drinking vampires from breaking any laws. You are exhibit A of a broken law. Tayo reveals himself to humans who are pure at heart. I’m blessed to have been chosen by him.

You are pure at heart, and you did not give consent to anyone to drink your blood.

Sun vampires don’t drink blood from humans or blood in general.

Our thirst is quenched by the chlorophyll in plants.

What you just drank was some of the thickest green foliage, along with green and red apples, spinach, and agave syrup blended.

You can, of course, have it organic by drinking it straight from the plant as some do, but this is 2024, and we have juice machines,” he stated.

I laughed a little bit before listening as he continued.

“We’re not dead or frozen on the inside like them.

We’re alive. We can still reproduce. Us sun vampires can come out during the daytime because the sun fuels our energy.

Sun vampires are highly intelligent, super-fast, and strong.

We’re, in fact, stronger because we consume so much chlorophyll daily.

We don’t have to wait for our next prey to quench our thirst. Plants are our life source, so we can consume as much chlorophyll as we want.

The sun provides us with nutrients for our skin and the energy we need to survive.

We can still digest human food without getting sick.

So, you see… as a sun vampire, you can still live a normal life and bear children, beautiful,” he voiced.

I smiled at him. “This was a lot to take in, love. My life has changed, but apparently not too much. My life is enhanced. I have all these special abilities now, and the fact that I can still bear children is a bonus. So, does this mean we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together? ” I asked him.

Pryde cheesed so damn hard. “This means forever and always with you, my love. We’re locked in forever. You wear my mark. That's our connection. It's how I can read your thoughts and how I found you the night you were turned,” he voiced.

I looked over my arms. “What mark? All I see is the bite mark from the vampire.”

“That's because my mark is for my eyes only,” he answered in a sly tone before his eyes shifted to my honeypot, then back at me.

The lightbulb in my head turned on. “Oh, you naughty boy.”

“I'm your naughty boy only.” With speed, I tried to sit on his lap but landed on top of him. Well, either way, I was content with my seat. I straddled his waist and removed my top.

“As much as I appreciate this view, we have a lot of work to do, my love!” he exclaimed.

“It can wait, baby. I need you now.” Using my knees, I rose slightly on my feet and pulled his hard dick from his sweatpants before I slid down his long and thick erection. I rocked back and forth until I was fully seated on him.

“Aww, fuck!” Pryde groaned as he tweaked my nipples. His eyes were partly closed as he enjoyed the ride.

“Yes, baby… just like that.”

I wasn't a pro by any means, but my newfound skills empowered me and helped me to adjust to Pryde's size. I bounced up and down his dick, and Pryde placed his large hands on my waist as he guided our rhythm.

“Fuck, Creek!” he shouted and swiftly turned us over. I was now on my back, and he was controlling our session. Pryde went between long and short strokes that I would never forget.

“I feel you, baby. I feel you,” I released in a throaty tone.

“You feel me, beautiful?” he voiced sexily while gazing into my eyes. His eyes turned golden as I felt my body heating up.

“My body feels like it’s burning up, baby, but the pleasure is too divine to stop,” I voiced.
