…Would Smell As Sweet

This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

I knew she was waiting for me.

But that’s not the way this little game was going to work.

No, she would come to me.

Willingly.

I had played this scene over and over in my mind many times, and she was not the first.

Nor would she be the last.

I almost felt bad.

Almost.

But her scent was so intoxicating.

I knew the very first night I saw her in the woods, wandering like the lost soul she was, that I had to have her.

She would belong to me, finally.

Once she fell into my little entrapment…

It was a brilliant idea.

For weeks, I watched her.

Every night, walking in the enchanted forest.

Seeking.

She could feel my presence. Far too curious. But she would never find me, unless I wanted her to. I was hidden.

Waiting…

I knew she loved roses. She would stop and smell them languidly, her soft skin brushing ever so slightly against the thorns, one of them pricking her finger just a touch and drawing a tiny drop of blood.

I couldn’t take it anymore.

That’s when I formulated my plan.

Only a small amount of my special elixir was needed to entrance her senses and reel her in…nothing too strong.

I didn’t want to kill her or anything.

No, no.

I was going to enjoy every moment of this.

The hunger pangs were getting too strong, my head awash with the thoughts that would take place later this evening if I succeeded in luring her in…

Moments passed.

Then minutes.

Hours.

I was starting to think my plan wouldn’t work, after all.

Had she evaded my whims? But how?

Ba-dump.

Ba-dump.

Ba-dump.

Suddenly, a thundering sound vibrated through my ears.

I knew she must’ve been close.

I could hear her heart pulsating wildly.

I could feel the blood coursing through her veins.

I could smell her desire.

Under my spell. So unsuspecting.

She had no idea the monster I truly was.

And that was just the way I wanted it.

Because tonight…

I would devour her.
