As the limo pulled away from the club, taking with it their partner in business and pleasure, Alex and Misty walked hand-in-hand back into the club. Alex remembered his first night as a vampire, or at least the parts of the first night which Lauren let him remember, and one of those memories was the obsessive hunger which he was certain Misty was experiencing. He had been careful to limit how much she drank from Hannah, since Hannah had already donated to his thirst. As a result, Misty’s feeding probably did little more than whet her appetite.
Misty’s conversion also brought back memories of Lauren’s education of him in those early days. She had told him that if he proved worthy, he would be told the secret of creation. He realized he would have to inform Lauren that particular cat was now out of the bag.
Misty tugged at Alex’s arm, leading him through the crowd towards a balcony which overlooked the main dance floor. It was packed with young, energetic men and women, all flowing to the hard-driving rhythms blasting from the sound system. Suddenly there was darkness, as the spotlights and neon stripes cut out. A series of strobe lights pulsed in an impenetrable pattern, illuminating the faces and bodies with a ghostly light.
The two lovers peered over the edge, watching the stop-action movements of the dancers. Both of them shared the same goal: finding the next to quench their carnal needs.
“There,” Misty stated, pointing towards the darkest corner of the room. A shapely brunette was lost in her own world of sound, light and motion. She was alone, even while surrounded by hundreds of others.
“And what about for me, my love?” Alex grinned hungrily, more sure than ever that Misty would never be jealous again.
Her gemstone eyes scanned the floor again. She locked onto a table near the bar, where two women were sharing drinks and fending off suitors. “I think they’re sisters,” she purred, snuggling up to him. “I’d bet they’ll be great for our films too.” Misty licked her lips, flashing a hungry smile of her own.
“I love you,” Alex said as he took Misty in his arms and kissed her passionately. A woman after his own heart, he thought gleefully.
One thing that never failed to amaze Alex was how many women in Los Angeles would take their clothes off for the chance to be an actress. Donny had suggested placing a classified ad for an open casting call for an adult film. That little ad yielded nearly two hundred women of all ages, sizes and colors.
Alex decided to rely on a casting agency for the other male actors, although he would be participating in that process also. Put simply, he wasn’t turned on by that part of the business. He had considered turning it over to Misty so she could play while she learned her new gifts, but decided against it. Lauren thought Misty might be too inexperienced, as well as too likely to be recognized. In addition, Alex wasn’t ready to share his lover with other men just yet.
For the selection of his actresses, however, Alex was much more hands-on—in more ways than one. Since he would be starring, he had very specific ideas about the women he would be fucking and sucking on screen.
He started by reviewing the head-shots and bios for the applicants with Paula, a casting assistant who was recommended by Donny. By Donny’s request, Alex played it straight with Paula, not letting on about his vampiric nature and not using it on her. Donny said she had real talent, but she needed a chance to get her feet wet in the industry.
From their review of the files, several of the women were rejected by them easily. One was too old, another too young, this one too big, that one too small. In all, he tossed out about a third of the wanna-be starlets.
Following the first cut, he and Paula took in groups of ten for walk-throughs. He wanted to see the total package for each woman, including how she looked, how she moved, and what she sounded like. Alex knew that of those, looks were actually the least important, since he could always “alter” them if he found someone he liked who didn’t quite fit the image he had of what he wanted.
This round eliminated nearly two-thirds of those who remained. Even though these girls claimed to be actresses, he thought that many of them had no presence at all. Admittedly, Alex knew he was making a porn film, so no one was expecting Oscar-caliber performances. Still, some of the women who Alex rejected had trouble putting two coherent sentences together.
Alex found that Paula truly did have a good eye, which made his job much easier. About three hours into the process, they were down to 35 women from whom he would select a final sixteen. Of those, six would have substantial roles, whereas the others fill smaller roles or would serve as extras. The basics of the storyline involved a San Diego coed who would be seduced by a vampire on New Year’s Eve. With all the build-up to the millennium having just passed, Alex thought a New Year’s party would be a good setting for the film. In addition to the lead, there would be at least three other characters who would be involved in sex scenes with the vampire, including the lead’s best friend and her sister. The rest of the girls may have to get naked, but wouldn’t be part of the storyline.
After comparing his notes with Paula, Alex took each of the final 35 for private one-on-one interviews. Paula said she was briefed by Donny that Alex wanted to make the final decisions on his own, and she thanked him for the work. Alex thanked her as well, and handed her an envelope with an extra $5,000 bonus. He made a mental note to write a letter of recommendation for her, which he would forward to Donny’s office.
One by one, the actresses walked into Alex’s office. With each, it started the same: he took the woman’s hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed gently. His eyes looked over the wrist to watch the reaction. Although each woman reacted differently, he enjoyed each expression as his dominating power took control.
Jill Griffin was the first girl he brought in. She was a statuesque brunette with long legs, big tits, and a tight ass. She was a real looker, but she didn’t have much acting talent. When he kissed Jill’s hand, the small hairs rose up on her arm, and goosebumps ran from her wrist to her throat. Alex saw that her eyes were glassy and her mouth opened in a small “o”. He smiled hungrily, not about to pass up such a ready meal.
“I want you to take off your top,” Alex said matter-of-factly, returning at least somewhat to business. “Do it seductively.”
Jill was wearing a tight little crop-top with a lace tie-up. She pulled at one of the ends until the knot came open. As the lattice loosened, Alex noticed that her breasts hardly sagged. Oh, she is a fine specimen, he thought with a smile.
Seeing Alex’s expression, she smiled mock-innocently back at him. Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she pulled the shirt up and over her breasts and then off.
“Do you like ‘em, baby?” Jill ran her hands up her stomach until she was cupping her tits. “They’re real, and they’re just for you.” She tweaked her right nipple, rubbing it until it stood up straight and hard. Jill saw that Alex approved. “I can do that for you too.”
“Come on over, baby,” he responded.
Alex pulled open his pants for the first of several times, each with the same result: a beautiful woman in his lap, wrapping her luscious mouth around his erect dick. No matter how many times it happened, Alex was sure this was the best part of being a vampire.
Well, that and the other sucking. That came after he did.
After ten grueling hours, Alex had his cast. He tasted from every one of the actress applicants, and most of them had tasted him too. He fucked four of them, and not surprisingly, all four made the cut. Jill was in too, although she was only an extra.
He picked a girl named Melissa Dawkins as his lead. (She said her new screen name, though, was Melissa Sweet.) Melissa was a sophomore at UCLA majoring in public communication. She had a pure and innocent face, highlighted by bright green eyes, high cheekbones and bee-sting lips. Alex thought she looked particularly angelic while looking up at him through strands of long blonde hair as she sucked his cock.
Melissa’s figure was fairly average, but very healthy. Her 34C breasts more than filled out the top she came in with, and when he vampirically enhanced her rack, she would be jaw-droppingly built. She was very athletic, with tight, muscular legs ending in a perfect ass.
As important as her physical gifts (and Alex found her quite gifted) was her ability to act. She had been in several plays in high school and college. Her resume even listed a couple parts in TV shows when she was younger. Alex asked her why she was auditioning for a porn movie given her extensive experience. She said she wanted a chance to show what she could do, rather than being judged just on her looks.
“I’ve been to lots of auditions for ‘real’ movies, but the casting people just say I’m not pretty enough, or I’m too fat, or shit like that. I mean, look at me.” Standing naked in front of Alex, it was hard for him not to look at the very attractive young woman. “The only way I’m fat is if you compare me to Ally McBeal. As strange as it sounds, I’m more likely to be taken seriously after showing off my acting in a sex film.”
None of the other girls in the cast had the same acting chops as Melissa, nor were they carrying quite the same chip on their shoulders. Still, all of them had similar stories about being excluded from the film industry because they didn’t fit someone’s image of perfect. If only they knew that Alex didn’t mind them not being perfect because it was something he could correct later.
Melissa’s “sister” was being played by a beautiful yet shy brunette named Kylie Walsh. Alex envisioned the two of them sixty-nining, which despite the incestuous overtones made for a lovely mental image. Kylie had pale skin—she was originally from Seattle—and a long, fine neck. Alex was tempted to nibble on that throat, but he thought better of it for now. He wanted her to remain unmarred until filming started. So he sucked from her thigh instead, as well as raising a few drops of blood from her inner lips.
Alex chose another blonde for Melissa’s “roommate.” Tanya Austin had dusty blonde hair, and she could suck chrome of a tailpipe with her thick lips. Tanya grew up in Houston, and she had the sweetest Texas twang in her voice. Her parents sent her to school in California after she got into trouble for seducing the principal at her high school so she could get on the cheerleading squad. She was a petite little firecracker, but she was stacked on top. And when Alex was done with her, she would be even more so.
The rest of the girls who would be in the movie were simply given numbered parts. Alex would put them to use as he saw fit. For the time being, these girls were interchangeable, each ready to be a sex slave at a moment’s notice.
Finally, there was Brittany. Of them all, she was the only girl who was into vampires. He actually had a conversation with her during their one-on-one interview. She was sweet and girlish, although her body was all woman. She was about 5’6”, with 32D-24-32 measurements and wavy black hair that fell around her shoulders.
As Brittany walked around the room topless, following Alex’s stage directions, she told him about her vampire fantasies. She saw the movie “Dracula” with Frank Langella when she was 11, and ever since, she dreamt of being visited in her bedroom by a handsome vampire who would seduce her and make her a vampire also. She said that she dressed up as a vampire for Halloween for years, and for a while, she did the vampire role-playing scene too.
“What would you give to be a vampire?” Alex asked.
For an
instant, Brittany lit up. “God, I would
do anything. That would be like the
ultimate.”
“Anything at all?” he probed. “Even
kill someone.”
She hesitated. “I don’t think it’s necessary for a vampire to kill. Except maybe to make another vampire. But, you know, if I had to, I think I would. I mean, how could I pass that up?”
“What about making love to a vampire? How would that interest you?”
“Oooh... I get shivers just thinking about it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten myself off dreaming about that.”
Alex motioned for Brittany to sit down on the couch with him. She sat at the opposite end of the couch, so he slid closer to her. “And if the vampire was a woman?”
Brittany surprised Alex by smiling at the question. “My best friend in high school was a lesbian. One year, for my birthday, she gave me a ‘present’ by dressing up as a vamp. You know, the tight low-cut Elvira dress? She put on a long black wig to go with it, and even got some fangs custom-made. Then she went down on me, nibbling on my cunt with her fangs.” Brittany caught herself rubbing her crotch. “I’d never been with another woman before that, but I’ve never been so wet. So to answer your question, when it comes to vampires, I guess I’m bi.” She batted her eyelashes. “So who’s your vampire?”
