The world became a dark and dangerous place after the Willow-Rose incident. Worldwide nuclear holocaust was only the beginning of the nightmare created by the brilliant minds of the Syndicate. They thought their innovative shielding would protect their cities from annihilation as the world teetered on the edge of destruction but quickly discovered a deadly combination. Their shields became the catalyst to a new world and a new race.

~

Tallia sat against a tree at her makeshift camp on the outskirts of the city and warmed her toes by the fire. At twenty years old, she had already learned to survive on her own in a dark and dangerous place. She was a thief, selling whatever she could find to the wealthy collectors on the east side but things were getting complicated with the newly formed guild. Thieves had all banded together and pushed her out of town and out of business.

“Shit,” she said, throwing a silver chain into the dirt. “How the hell am I going to survive this way?”

Things were good until Garret moved in on her territory. The rumors were that he was impossible to satisfy and that he wouldn't be happy until he owned Seattle.

She picked up a few sticks and put them on the fire as it began to dwindle and dug the silver chain out of the dirt.

“You know, you're never going to make a living that way,” said a voice.

A man came through the forest and leaned up against a tree.

“Darius, you son of a bitch, I swear if you sneak up on me like that again I'll slit your throat.”

“I didn't think I could sneak up on you,” he said. “That's worth knowing.”

At nineteen, Darius was only a year younger than she was and had joined the guild a second after the opportunity had offered itself. He’d told her that the guild would be his ticket out of the slums.

“What do you want?” she asked.

“I guess asking you to join the guild again is pointless?” He leaned against a tree with folded arms.

“You can tell your boss to kiss my ass, I don’t belong to anyone.”

“You have a nice ass, I’m sure he’d consider it,” said Darius.

She ignored the comment. “Portland is only a week from here, I'm considering heading out,” she said blowing dust from the silver chain in her hand.

He laughed. “You're still going to need coin to get there. I don't know when you traveled that way last but the aberrants have taken the main highway.”

“So, I'll go around,” she said.

“The high pass has its own dangers, you'd never make it alone.”

“Come on Darius, you aren't here to make small talk. You're here for a reason so spit it out,” she said poking at the fire.

She crept closer to him as she stood and he pushed himself away from the tree.

“Tell me,” she said pulling out a knife.

He pulled a scroll from his pocket. “Here, take this. A week ago, the Midnight Sun was taken over by new owners. They're having an opening tonight and only the rich are invited.”

Tallia opened the scroll and examined it with wide eyes.

“This is an invitation to the opening. Why are you giving this to me? Where did you get it?”

He shoved his hands into his pockets. “I lifted it off a socialite in mid-city. I'm sure he'll miss it but since the invitation doesn't have a name on it I thought of you.”

“Why?” she asked. She had never done any favors for him. “The last time I saw you I think I told you to go fuck yourself.”

He disappeared into the trees and came back with a fancy dress.

“I lifted this from a hi-soc the other day and have been thinking about you ever since,” he said, grinning from ear to ear.

She grabbed the dress away from him. She had never worn a dress in her life. They were uncomfortable and impractical unless you made a living whoring yourself.

“It's...interesting,” she said, holding it up. “There seems to be plenty of room to hide things.”

“Yep, it’s perfect for the task, sexy and practical,” he said.

She looked at him suspiciously. “You still didn't answer my question. Why are you giving it to me? As much as I think it pleases you, I don’t think you concocted this plan so you can see me in a dress.” She threw the dress back at him.

Impatience shown in his voice. “Are you going or not? I can probably fence this for something more useful,” he said.

He avoided her questions with more questions.

“Fine,” she said.

She pulled her shirt over her head and removed her pants. Darius held the dress in front of himself to conceal the growing bulge in his pants and stared at her breasts, with their ripe pink nipples.

“Give me the dress, damn it,” she said and grabbed it from him, waking him from his trance.

He sighed and leaned against a tree, crossing his legs to conceal his erect cock.

“Goddamn...” The curse trailed off under his breath as he began to fantasize. He loved the way her wavy chestnut hair fell over her nipples, barely concealing them.

“Darius...Darius,” she yelled, getting his attention.

She pushed her breasts up in the dress until her nipples were barely hidden behind the low-cut neckline. The look on her face told Darius that she knew what she was doing to him.

“Hand me my knife belt,” she said, scooting herself back onto a large boulder.

He picked up her belt and tossed it to her.

She fumbled with the buckle as she tried to strap it to her thigh. “I could use some help,” she said.

He closed his eyes for a second and tried to refocus himself but his erection grew with the wild fantasies playing out in his mind.

She leaned back on her elbows and put her foot up on the boulder. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his pounding heart.

“I'm going to need to strap it on my thigh. I don't think knife belts are very fashionable with lacy dresses.”

He maneuvered himself between her legs and wrapped the belt around her upper thigh scooting it as high as it could go. He brushed his hand against the silky tuft of hair between her legs and his heart began racing. She opened her legs a little wider as if daring him to go further. They locked eyes as he slowly slipped his finger between her wet lips and rubbed her clit.

She sat up and pulled him close. “Darius,” she whispered as he touched his lips to hers. “Remove your fingers...from my clit, before I cut you...throat,” Her words were interrupted with gasps of pleasure.

He moved back when he felt the pressure of the knife against his neck. Despite his surprise he still wanted her. He put his finger to his tongue and licked it.

“You're a real son of a bitch, Darius.” She didn't know what else to say. She concelaed the dagger deeply in her cleavage.

“Tallia-,” he said, considering an apology or maybe a proposition.

She put up her hand cutting him off. “Do you have anything to wear?” she asked, trying to forget how turned on she was a moment before.

He shook his head. “You're crazy if you think I'm going to dress like one of those high nosed peacocks and strut around with you.”

“I think you'd do anything I asked of you right now.” She moved closer to him pressing him against a tree. She felt the erection pressing against her leg and she rubbed it slowly with her thigh.

He pushed her away hard. “Stop, Tallia. If you keep teasing me I'm going to have to do something about it, so stay the fuck away from me unless you plan on giving it up.” He took a deep breath and let it out. The moment had passed and his better judgment was returning to him.

“I was planning to go alone...so yes, I have something to wear,” he said after he took a moment to calm down.

He pulled out a black ruffled tunic and removed his vest and shirt.

“Hmm, I see you've been working out since I saw you last,” she said running her fingers across the rippling muscles on his abdomen.

He pulled the tunic down over his head and ran his fingers through his short dark hair.

“You've changed a lot, Darius. The guild must be treating you well.”

He pushed her away hard so she would get the point and suppressed the smile that threatened to give him away. She was disappointed that he wouldn't play her games.

~

She followed him through the trees and out into the city. The nightlife in Seattle was always lively. The streets crawled with whores and degenerates

Darius turned to her as they paused on the street in front of the Midnight Sun.

“How do I look?” she asked.

He brushed dust off the hem of her dress and reached up to her hair. She slapped his hand away.

“I was only going to remove the twigs, you look like you've been rolling around on the ground?” he asked.

“Fine,” she said sighing.

He moved closer and pretended to pull twigs and leaves from her hair. She stood up straight and straightened out her dress. Her heart skipped when he brushed aside her hair and gently touched her neck.

She cleared her throat and brushed his hand away. “We should get moving if we're going to get anything accomplished tonight.”

He put out his arm and she took it as he opened the door.

The doors opened into a large reception area and a well-dressed servant greeted them. He looked down on them with his nose pointed up in the air.

Tallia handed the invitation to the man and he raised his eyebrows.

“Follow me,” he said.

Darius followed him and pulled Tallia along.

Darius yanked on her hand when she became transfixed with all the things she could lift from the room. “Come on, we can't take everything. We'll have a few drinks and when everyone gets tipsy we'll cut a few purses.”

They entered the main room and Tallia looked up at Darius.

“What's going on, Darius?” she asked.

Mingling among the regular high society guests were strange men and women, seducers…aberrants.

He shrugged. “It's a party, try to fit in,” he said.

A woman approached them with two drinks. “Good evening mistress,” she said to Tallia. “Would you like refreshments while you mingle?”

Tallia looked at Darius and smiled. “I feel refreshed already.”

The woman handed the drinks to them, flipped her long black hair back, and ran her fingers across her cleavage.

“Will there be...anything else?” she asked.

Tallia looked at Darius and rolled her eyes. He was trying not to look at the woman but seemed to be getting excited again.

She smiled at the woman. “Maybe,” she said, looking at the woman's breasts.

Tallia handed her drink to Darius and pulled the woman toward her. She touched the woman's lips with her tongue and they kissed softly while the woman cupped Tallia's ass in her hands and squeezed.

The woman backed away and winked at Darius. “You're next,” she said and walked away.

He handed Tallia her drink. “What the hell was that? We aren't trying to draw attention,” he said.

Tallia held up a pair of gold and diamond earrings. “Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get what you want.”

They walked through the crowd grabbing trinkets and coin purses from the unsuspecting guests.

“Take it easy, we don't want to get caught before we can get out of here,” said Darius.

Darius grabbed her hand and pulled her toward a quieter side of the room. She stopped and Darius turned to her.

“Tallia...” he said as he turned to urge her on. The woman who greeted them held Tallia's other hand and pulled her in the opposite direction.

“You two need to come with me,” said the woman.

“Why?” asked Tallia. “If you're looking for...companionship, we aren’t' for hire.”

“Garret wants to see you, come with me now.”

“Garret?” Tallia asked looking up at Darius.

He put his hand up to his mouth. “Oh, didn’t I mention that he's the one that bought the Midnight Sun?”

She yanked her arm away from Darius. “You son of a bitch. You set me up,” she said.

He shrugged and smiled. “You haven't even met him; maybe you should talk to him.”

“You don't have a choice, come with me now. Darius, Garret wants to see you too,” said the woman.

Darius looked unsure of himself but didn’t protest.

A man walked up behind Darius and pushed him. “Come on, Darius. Disobeying Garret now will only make things worse on your friend.”

“We aren't friends...not anymore,” said Tallia.

“Quit fooling yourself, we were never friends.”

The man grabbed Tallia by the arm and squeezed tightly.

She yanked her arm away.“All right, I'll go. Would people stop grabbing me? I'm getting a little pissed off.”

The woman led them to a rear door and pushed it open. Tallia took a deep breath as the strong scent of sweet incense filled her nose.

She walked into the smoky room and heard a voice from across the room.

“Tallia, we finally meet,” said Garret as he sauntered through the smoke.

He was tall and intimidating but very attractive. She took a step back as he approached.

“Don't be afraid of me, I'm not going to hurt you,” he said with a deep, smooth voice.

His long black hair fell over his shoulders and drew attention to his open shirt. Tallia glanced at his muscular chest and quickly looked away feeling embarrassed.

Garret moved closer to her and lifted her head with his hand under her chin. She had to look up to see into his eyes

“You have quite the nerve coming here and trying to steal from my guests. Did you think you wouldn't be found out?”

“Darius brought me here. The bastard set me up and you know very well what he was up to. I'm sure he was only following your orders so what do you want from me?”

He looked toward Darius still standing in the back of the room.

Garret nodded his head once. “Thank you, Darius.” He looked at the woman. “Cassia, please reward Darius for escorting our lovely guest here safely.”

Cassia took Darius by the hand and led him to a sofa in the corner where they began to undress.

Garret laughed. “Tallia, don't look so surprised,” he said as he pushed up on her chin to close her gaping mouth.

“Have a seat and we can discuss what we're going to do with you?”

She laughed uncomfortably. “Do with me?” she asked.

“You're the last rogue thief in Seattle. The rest have joined us or moved on. What will I have to do to get you to join us?” he asked.

Tallia sat down and looked into his rich amber eyes. “By moved on I’ll assume you mean that you had them all killed,” she said glancing over at Darius.

Darius pushed Cassia down onto the sofa and got down on his knees.

“Does watching them excite you?” asked Garret.

She scooted back onto the sofa so she could face him and still see Darius.

Darius buried his face in Cassia's wet mound and his fingers teased her, barely probing her hot pussy. Her hips rose to his tongue and begged him for more while he stroked his full hard erection and his tongue swirled around her clit.

Tallia took a deep breath and let go of her already loose inhibitions.

“Yes, it does. I regret not letting Darius pleasure me earlier this evening,” she said.

“The evening isn't over,” he said.

He leaned closer and touched her breasts through her tight fitting dress. His finger moved along the edge of her low-cut neckline and pulled back on it liberating one of her breasts. He took it in his hand and touched his tongue to her erect nipple, sucking and softly biting.

His hot breath filled her cleavage and she laid her head back breathing heavily. She was quickly becoming a fan of the thieves’ guild.

“Garret, what do you want from me?” she asked between moans.

“Your future is unwritten but right now...now I'm going to have my way with you. ,” he said pulling back her collar, revealing her other breast.

Carefully he reached into her cleavage and pulled the knife from between her breasts.

“You aren't going to need this,” he said, throwing it across the room and imbedding it into the door.

Panic set and she moved for her second dagger. He grabbed her hands pinning them over her head, easily overpowering her. He held them with one hand as spread her legs and pushed her back on the sofa. He ran his hand down her body as he kissed her breasts, lightly biting her nipples teasing them with his warm, wet tongue.

He paused as he kissed the valley between her breasts. “I can feel your heart, rogue, are you excited or maybe a little scared?” he asked.

He licked his finger and reached under her dress. His finger spread her wet slit and she shuddered under his touch. She sighed deeply as he stopped and pulled her second dagger from its sheath.

“Have you concealed any other weapons that I should know about?” he asked, releasing her hands and throwing the dagger across the room.

She shook her head and glanced toward Darius. He sat up on the sofa with Cassia between his legs. Her mouth wrapped around his shaft, moving skillfully up and down as her tongue swirled around flicking the tip every time she came up for a breath.

Garret got Tallia's attention again with a finger to her clit, rubbing slowly in a circular motion. She moved her hips as her wet pussy begged for more and he sated her desire, slowly penetrating her with his fingers.

“Quit teasing me, Garret and show me what you've got,” she said begging for him.

He stopped and put his fingers in his mouth sucking them seductively.

“I think you're a little overdressed,” he said. Slowly he unlatched her dress, kissing and licking his way down every inch of her exposed flesh. He pulled the dress off her shoulders and down to her waist. His warm, soft hands caressed her causing goosebumps to erupt from her skin.

He turned her head to face Darius and laid his cheek against hers. His hand slid between her legs and teased her wet pussy while they watched together.

Cassia climbed up on top of Darius and straddled him. He grabbed her large breasts and nibbled on her nipples. She reached back, grabbed his large shaft, and guided it into her wet swollen pussy. She moved slowly on his cock, wetting every throbbing inch of his shaft until he was buried deeply inside of her. He moaned loudly as she gyrated on top of him.

“Oh, shit...Cassia you're going to make me cum,” he said grabbing her hips and ramming his cock deeper into her.

“No you don't,” she said and quickly got off him. She stood on the sofa and pulled his head to her juicy pussy. He stroked his shaft as he started probing her with his tongue.

“Cassia,” Garret yelled. “You're done, leave now.”

Cassia frowned but smiled as she caught sight of the man at the door. She led him off into another room. Darius sat back with his cock in his hand, unfulfilled, stroking it slowly.

Garret pulled Tallia's dress off and she closed her eyes as his lips touched her mound. He licked and nibbled at her flesh. She rubbed her erect nipples as his tongue darted between her slit and touched that spot that made her heart pound and her legs quiver.

She sat up and pushed Garret away and he got to his knees. She looked at him for a hint of anger but he only looked amused. She pulled the shirt from his chest and slowly unbuttoned his pants pushing them to his knees. He slid out of them quickly and positioned himself in front of her. She took his hard shaft into her hand and let him thrust it into her mouth. She took him with greedy hunger as he tangled his fingers tightly in her hair. Her fingers slid in and out of her pussy as she imagined his cock penetrating her.

Her tongue played with his shaft, moving up and down. She took his balls into her hands and lavished them in her mouth while stroking his throbbing cock. Slowly he began to lose himself and his moans began to fill the smoky room.

He pushed her back down onto the sofa and seemed to consider what to do with her next.

He spread her legs and teased her with his cock, rubbing her clit.

“What do you want, rogue?” he asked.

“Fuck me hard,” she moaned.

He smiled. “Darius,” he yelled.

Darius came to them and stood next to the sofa with his cock still in his hand. Garret got up, pulled Tallia to her feet, and motioned for Darius to lie on the sofa.

“What are you doing?” she asked as he turned her to face Darius.

“Giving you what you want” said Garret. “I see how you look at him, craving to feel his dick inside of you.”

Darius still stroked his cock and she needed gratification after Garret's tease. She got between Darius’ legs and took his hard shaft into her mouth. He was large and she stroked his cock with her hand as her lips wrapped tightly around its tip. She could feel Garret behind her, a hand on her ass and the tip of his cock brushing against her wet pussy. He teased her and she moaned loudly as she took Darius' large shaft all the way down her throat.

“Ah, Fuck, Tallia...yeah that's good,” he yelled.

Garret pulled her away from Darius’ cock. “Let him fuck you,” he said.

She straddled him and grabbed his cock, rubbing it over her clit, sending shock waves of pleasure through her body. She felt Garret against her back. He reached in front of her, removed her hands from Darius’ wet dick, and pushed her down onto it.

She yelled out as anticipation turned into ecstasy and Darius grabbed her by the hips thrusting harder into her. Garret wrapped his arms around her and kneaded her breasts in his large hands. His shaft rubbed against her ass as he reached between her legs and rubbed her clit. His wet fingers moved up to her lips and she licked her juices from his fingers.

He forced her forward on top of Darius and he reduced his thrusts to a slow penetrating grind and Tallia's legs tightened as her pleasure began to peak.

“Not yet,” she heard Garret whisper as he grabbed her by the hips.

The tip of his cock touched her ass and slowly penetrated her.

“Yes,” she yelled as they both began to grind into her.

“Cum, Tallia...let me feel you spasm around my cock,” said Darius.

Darius wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly as Garret thrust harder. She moaned loudly as she exploded with orgasm.

“Oh, god, yes,” yelled Darius as he came deep inside of her.

Garret lifted her off Darius without pulling out of her and sat back on the sofa. He slowed as he wrapped his arms around her massaging her breasts as he kissed her back. She moved up and down on his cock as her pleasure began building again.

She closed her eyes as Darius went to his knees and began tonguing her clit while Garret filled her ass. His fingers glided into her pussy already wet with his cum.

Garret pushed Darius away, took her to the floor and got on top of her. He pulled her hips to him and began thrusting into her ass again from behind. His apatite was insatiable and his craving was compounded by her delicate creamy skin. He rolled her over onto her back and put her legs up on his shoulders. Three fingers slid into her wet pussy as he sucked on her clit. She could feel his teeth grazing against her throbbing pussy as he licked and sucked her to another orgasm.

Her pleasure turned to surprise when she felt a warm trickle on her leg. She looked down at Garret and saw him sliding his fingers in and out of her as he plunged his fangs into her thigh and began drinking her blood.

“Fuck, Garret...,” she said, her voice trailing off. It didn't matter anymore, she wanted him and everything he could offer to her.

His cock was bigger and harder than it was when he was pounding it into her ass. Tallia grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him down on top of her. Her legs wrapped around him as he shoved his cock into her.

“You're mine, Tallia,” he said.

He rubbed against her clit and she screamed out as another orgasm rocked her body and he pulled out of her covering her breasts with his warm sticky fluid.

Tallia lay back, breathing heavily as the vampire put his weight on top of her.

“Make no mistake about who you belong to,” he said forcefully as he grabbed her neck and plunged his fangs into her.

Blood trickled down between her breasts forming a small pool. He placed his finger in it and drew a trail down her belly and to her clit. He looked over to the sofa where Darius still sat, his cock rock hard once again.

He looked at the young thief on the sofa. “Darius,” he ordered.

Garret moved away. “Take her,” he said as he moved away giving Tallia to Darius.

He slid off the sofa and crawled over to her. His tongue began flicking her clit as he licked up the blood that Garret had left behind. Darius looked up at her and showed his fangs to her. She smiled back and pushed his head back down onto her wet aching pussy.

She was no longer angry with the thief and wondered why she ever protested to begin with.

He licked his way up to her neck lapping up every drop of blood that his sire had left behind. He glanced at Garret getting his father's approval and thrust his cock into her hot wet pussy while he sank his sharp white fangs into her neck.

Her head began to swim as her blood dwindled and her heart slowed but he couldn't stop.

“Darius, that's enough,” Garret yelled as the young vampire began to lose control.

He latched on tighter and Tallia began to fade.

“Darius!” Garret yelled again and kicked him off. “Get the fuck out,” he yelled pointing to the same door that Cassia and the other man had disappeared behind. Darius ran to the door and disappeared.

Garret picked her up and carried her to the sofa. She opened her eyes as he kissed her softly, his fangs grazing against her lips.

“You're one of us now. You work for me and only me, do you understand? There’s no room for a rogue in my town,” he said.

She nodded but she knew she would spend the rest of her life finding a way to become his equal and to master the seduction of the aberrant who took her freedom away.
