Night Time Lover - A dark poem about a succubus by Neil Benson

Nighttime Lover
 

You come to me at night,
loving me as no one has before.
Your kisses are a nectar,
that make my senses reel.
Your caresses light a fire,
that wraps me in white heat.

In your arms I find,
passions I cannot describe.
The ecstasy I feel,
burns me to my core.
Time and time again,
you take all of me.
In the morning light,
I find no trace of you.
Every day I wonder,
if you'll come once more.

But when midnight arrives,
I feel you next to me.
The thinner I become
the stronger your embrace.
My body begins to fade
as yours feels more real.
Is my love enough?
Or do you need my soul?
I fear the end is near,
for I lie in bed all day.
One more time I see you,

and that will be the end.

from A Problem with Werewolves short story in Dark Journeys

Clouds covered the moon, and I couldn’t see what had caught her attention. A brief shaft of moonlight revealed an enormous, heavily muscled werewolf, close to seven feet tall. When the beast opened its mouth, three-inch-long canines glistened in the light. This was the alpha male whose pack we had just destroyed. Its massive chest and arms made Shaquille O’Neal look slender. As it slowly moved toward Monique, I put the shotgun to my shoulder and closed the distance with the beast.

The werewolf strode to within fifteen feet of Monique when it suddenly changed direction and charged at me. The beast ran so fast I barely had time to pull the triggers. It anticipated my action and pivoted to the side, avoiding both bullets. The werewolf turned and resumed its charge. I grabbed a slug, but I knew I didn’t have time to pull the trigger before it would be on me. I cringed as I awaited its attack. The werewolf was less than three yards from me when it fell forward and hit the ground with a loud thump.

I fired both barrels as the beast lunged at me. The giant figure staggered backward after the slugs entered its chest. It stopped, then took a step in my direction, even though blood flowed freely from two large wounds. I reached for more ammunition, but I had used all the slugs in the bandoleer. The beast took one more step toward me, and I grabbed the end of the barrels.........

Unholy Embrace a vampire novel - in the eyes of a vampire

mortal man meets a beautiful immortal vampire

A mortal, Frank, enters a wannabe vampire bar in Manhattan and finds himself scrutinized by a beautiful real vampire.

“You're not an overgrown boy or a self-styled stud eager to add me to his sexual trophy case.”

“You can tell that just by looking at me?”

“That and much more.”

“Okay, tell me what you know.” Her gaze caught mine as I issued the challenge.

“You're an architect in his mid-thirties who would rather be a painter,” she said without hesitation. She leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers, her bright green eyes studying my every move.

“How do you know that?” Was she a mind reader or something?“There are traces of light green ocher paint under the nails of your index and middle fingers on your right hand.” I couldn't see anything, even when I held my nails under a light.

“I have excellent vision, especially at night.”

“There's nothing there to see,” I said.

“You failed to wash off all the ocher and pale yellow egg tempera paint you used.” She licked her lips.

Nessa had just described the colors I had been working with earlier in the evening. “I don't know how you guessed what I was using, but there's no way anyone could see the paint in this dim light.”

“A vampire could.” She leaned forward, opening her mouth, and showing the tips of sharp pointed fangs.

“Are those real?” I asked in a voice barely a croak. My heart beat faster and the hairs on the nape of my neck stood up. 

Unholy Embrace  is a swift paced, action-packed novel about the relationship between a mortal man and his immortal female vampire lover as they fight werewolves, vampires, and other creatures in their effort to kill a soul eating demon.

My Vampire's Aura - a dark poem by Neil Benson

Add caption

My Vampire's Aura

My free will is gone;

your aura commands me.

You draw me each night,

to ecstasy and pain.

You show me your beauty,

but I know it's not real.

Your beautiful face

masks a soul so dark.

After the pleasure,

you draw my life's blood.

You keep me alive

til' you need me no more.

The weaker I become,

                                                         the greater your pleasure.

                                                        My time is not long,

                                                       lest you make me undead.

                                                          Your promises are hollow;

                                                            I am one of many.

                                                          Bodies strewn through time,

                                                        discarded like waste.

                                                           Tonight will be special.

                                                            I have a treat for you.

                                                           The bright, silver dagger,

                                                            I found in your dresser.

                                                          When you take me in your arms,

                                                         I will end your undead being.

                                                     My life is spent,

                                                        but others will be spared.
