Victoria Pt. 01: The Girl Next Door

"You like it?" She asked walking back in to see him staring at the statue.

"Sorry, yeah it's interesting, I'm assuming you don't entertain much?"

"You are the first since I moved in, it's a succubus, a sex demon."

"Really, you into sex demon mythology?"

"Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, just wasn't expecting you to have a naked demon statue in your living room."

"I just love a good art piece when I see it. I've had her for a while now."

"Her, so she has a name?"

"Yes its Nessira the daughter of Lilith..... so ready to eat?"

"Yes Ma'am." He said walking towards the kitchen with her.

"Yeah, don't call me Ma'am, makes me feel like an old lady."

"Yes Ma....... um Vic."

"That's better."

"Trust me, nobody would mistake you for an old lady."

"You'd be surprised."

They sat down for dinner in the dining room eating and talking for a while. She had made him an excellent steak that he really enjoyed. Rick was just telling stories about stupid things him and his friends did during school and she laughed enjoying the way he told them. She got up at one point grabbing the bottle of wine and bringing it back to the table with two glasses pouring both.

"You know I'm only 18 right?"

"I won't tell if you don't."

"Ha, I've actually never had wine before."

"Well I have and this is the good stuff."

"Nice." He said taking a sip which she could tell by the look on his face wasn't his thing. "Not bad." He said choking it down.

"I guess it's an acquired taste."

"I guess, so is this my Mom asking you to make sure I'm eating?"

"No, just want to get to know you better." She said before getting up and leading him to the living room.

She sat down on the couch and invited him to sit next to her which he did. She turned on the TV and searched for a movie to put on while they continued to just chat away. She suddenly remembered the Star Trek Next Gen marathon was on so she turned to that instead. He was starting to become more comfortable around her which made it easier for him to relax bit it also made him more attracted to her.

"So tell me about yourself." He said.

"Not much to tell I'm afraid."

"Come on you have a story written all over your face, young woman, who can apparently afford a house by herself, you don't seem to work at all so what's your secret?"

"Secret?....... well we all have our secrets don't we." She said glancing at the statue for a moment before looking back at him and smiling.

"Hey that's cool if you don't want to tell me, I just can't believe a woman like you is single."

"Like I said last night, its over rated and let's just say that it's more of a personal choice."

"Well when it does happen I hope he is everything you need him to be."

"Nope, sorry, been there done that."

"So never again?"

"Like I said before, it's more about having fun, why should we deny our basic instincts?"

"So is it a women thing now? Like you switched sides?"

"No nothing like that, men still have their uses."

"I see, so who was he?"

"Who was who?"

"The guy who broke your heart?"

"What makes you think anybody broke my heart?"

"Like I said, its written all over your face, who was he?" He asked as she sat there silent watching the TV. "Well whoever he was, he was an idiot who didn't see you for what you are worth, just saying."

She stared at him for a moment surprised by what he had just said. "Thanks, so tell me your story?" She said trying to change the subject.

"Me? I guess I'm just old fashion."

She stared at him wondering if he was going to be as easy as she originally expected. "Old fashion? You're not deformed or something are you, afraid to show off to the ladies?" She said teasing as she knew exactly what he was packing.

"No nothing like that."

"So tell me, it can't just be because you haven't found the so called one yet."

"Like I said, I'm old fashion."

"Oh come on you can tell me." She said smiling and trying to act a little sexy and get him turned on.

"Nah, it's nothing important."

"Oh but now I want to know." She said almost pouting a little.

"It's just, I see my parents and even some of my friends and I just...... I want a partner you know?"

"A partner?"

"Yeah, not just someone I can make love to or whatever, I want a teammate, I want to meet the love of my life, I know I'm young and have plenty of time to meet someone but..... I guess I want someone I can grow old with."

"Wow......"

"Problem?"

"No it's just... not what I was expecting from an 18 year old."

"Hey, you asked, even though you didn't want to tell me anything about you."

"It's not that..........."

"It's not what?"

Rick I do want to tell you, I want to tell you a lot, which is funny because I haven't wanted to tell anyone about myself for a long time." She stopped after realizing what she had just said because she wasn't sure why she said it.

Rick stared at her for a moment seeing a bit of conflict in her eyes before he broke the silence. "Well, I'm always around if you need a friend or want to talk about it."

"Friend?" She said a little disconnected for a moment.

"Hey if you murdered your husband for the money your secret is safe with me.... for a price of course." He said winking and laughing a little.

Her expression turned serious for a moment as she just sort of stared off blankly like there was something serious on her mind.

"I'm sorry if I...... I didn't mean to....." he said thinking he said something wrong.

"No it's not you, just reminded me of something."

"Something I assume you don't want to talk about?" He said as she sat there silent and didn't seem to be planning on saying anything more. "Well I um..... it's getting a little late I guess so I'm going to head home."

"You don't have to leave yet, I'm sorry I didn't mean to put a damper on the evening."

"No it's not that, I have to get up early to get stuff for um............" he paused because he didn't really want to leave but he didn't want to stay and try something he might regret. "Actually saturday evening I'm having some friends over for a pool party, I'd love if you could come."

"Really, I may tell your parents about it." She said smiling and joking seeming like herself again.

"You wouldn't."

"Maybe, but do you really want me hanging around you and your friends?"

"Yeah, honestly you'll probably be the best looking girl there and........ I like hanging out with you."

"You do?........... okay sure, I'll definitely stop by."

"Great, and hey like I said I'm right next door if you ever want to talk okay."

"Thanks Rick," she said standing up and kissing him on the cheek before she pulled back and stared at him for a moment. "What?" She asked as he stared back at her.

Rick looked into her eyes and could see a conflict in them that made him even more curious about her. There was something about the way she looked at him and he could feel himself starting to feel something for her. Without really thinking he leaned in and kissed her. This was a surprise to her but she ended up kissing him back and they just stood there for a moment enjoying each others taste until he eventually pulled away from her.

"I'm so sorry I um....... I shouldn't have done that, it was stupid and I....... I gotta go." He said letting her go and heading out the door in a hurry.

She walked over to the window and watched him walking home as she was still tasting him on her lips. Something was wrong but it wasn't anything she wanted to admit to herself or anyone else for that matter. She definitely didn't want to admit it to her master who had been there watching the whole time.

"That was a very passionate kiss." A dark female voice said from behind her.

"Yes it was."

"What are you doing? You should have taken him last night, and you could have easily had him now."

"Don't worry, I've already started invading his dreams and his fantasies, and as you can see he is almost ready to give in, I will have him soon."

"You still need him three times, are you sure your head is clear in this matter."

"Don't question me, have I failed us yet?"

"No, but something is different with this one, he is starting to like you."

"He's a horny teenager, that's all."

"Perhaps, but you are starting to like him as well."

Victoria turned to the statue watching it's eyes glowing red as it spoke. "Don't be ridiculous, he is the final virgin and my plans have not changed." She said walking over and turning off the TV. "I admit that he is definitely more attractive than the other two but that is all."

"You treat him differently than the others, it's no wonder he's falling for you."

"Well I'm not going to get him into bed by being a total bitch now am I?"

"Just remember, once you have drained him 3 times and complete the ceremony your transformation will be complete and I will be free, we've come too far to mess things up now."

"I'm allowed to have a little fun aren't I, like I said I will have him soon, he will come crawling to me, begging."

"I hope you are right, I would hate to have to make you do it."

"I promise you, soon our plan will be complete, but for now I am going to enjoy myself."

"Have your fun than, but don't waste too much time. He looks delicious."

"If it's anything like the dreams, oh yes he is."

---------------------------------

Rick moaned in bed as the sun came up shining through his window. He was covered in sweat as his cock pulsed while he was having a very similar dream to the one he had the night before. He cock erupted pulling him from his sleep as he shot up once again covered in his own juices but luckily his comforter was on the floor and had not been hit.

He placed his head in his hands as he struggled to catch his breath wondering why he was having these dreams over and over again. He began to wonder if maybe he just needed to get laid and lose his virginity already, maybe then he would stop fantasizing about Victoria. He thought about it and realized that losing it to her wouldn't be bad at all. He kept getting mixed signals from her and wasn't really sure if she wanted him or not, and then he kissed her which he felt extremely embarrassed about and was hoping it wouldn't make things weird between them.

He looked at the time and picked up his phone. He began writing a text message to her hoping he could nip this in the bud before things got weird or more awkward.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about last night, hope we can still be friends and just forget it happened, still hope to see you at the party saturday."

He hit send and waited for a while with no response. He headed to the bathroom and after cleaning himself up he suddenly had a thought about something that happened last night and he turned on his computer. He typed in the words "succubus statue" and "Daughter of Lilith" as he began searching for information on the sex demon statue she had in her house. He couldn't find anything specific about the name of the statue mainly because he didn't know how to spell it but he did find an article about how ancient civilizations would speak of these demonic sexual creatures who would corrupt women to do their bidding to hunt down Virgins in order to sacrifice them so that they can be reborn. Lilith's name did come up but it was such a common name in succubus lore it didn't surprise him.

The more he read he began to wonder if that's what was happening. What if she was a Succubus and was slowly trying to seduce him to feed off of his life force for that statue in her living room. It would explain the dreams and his lust for her. He read a little more and saw something that talked about how succubi can easily corrupt someone suffering from a broken heart. Even though she didn't seem to want to talk about her past she didn't exactly act like someone who had just gotten her heart broken. She seemed strong and in control and even playful and happy.

He soon brushed it aside saying to himself "this crap isn't real, she couldn't have known I was a virgin anyway." He said as he stopped his search and tried to forget the whole thing.

He shut down his desktop and thought about the way she looked at him last night. There was something there behind her eye's, a conflict of some sort like she wanted him but at the same time didn't. He wasn't sure how to describe it but he knew there was more to her than she let on. He heard his phone buzz and looked over to see he had a new message.

"It's forgotten, see you saturday."

He felt a small relief when he read that but he knew it wasn't going to be easy to just forget about it. He got dressed and grabbed his keys before heading out to get supplies for the party.

A few days went by and saturday had arrived. He hadn't seen or heard from Victoria since the dinner and was hoping she was still coming over. The evening approached and his friends started to arrive filling up his yard. He went out back and had begun mingling with everyone, some of which he hadn't seen since graduation.

"So Rick, how's the dating life going?" His friend Eddie asked.

"Why do you want to know? Sorry dude you're not my type."

"Shut up, I just heard a rumor that Cindy over there has had a crush on you for a while now."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you should go for it, you're never gonna find a hotter girl than her."

Rick looked over at Cindy who was chatting with some of her friends. She did glance over at him at one point smiling before returning to her conversation.

"Maybe I will." He said to his friend as he looked back at him.

"Yeah man, tap that ass......... hey what you looking at?" Eddie asked as he noticed Rick was looking behind him with great concentration so he turned around to look.

Walking towards him with a smile on her face was Victoria wearing a sundress that was thin enough that he could see her bikini through as she moved.

"Woah dude, who is she?" Eddie asked.

"Oh, that's Victoria, my new neighbor."

"Wait I thought you said you weren't seeing anyone?"

"We aren't dating, just hung out a few times."

"Really? How do you live next door to that without doing something about it?"

"Hey Rick!" She said walking over to him. "nice party."

"Glad you could come Vicky, you look......... um this is my friend Eddie."

"Nice to meet you." Eddie said practically drooling over her."

"Now that is what I was talking about the other day." Victoria said to Rick while pointing at Eddie with her thumb.

Rick couldn't help but laugh a little knowing exactly what she was talking about from their conversation in the pool the other day. Eddie just stood there confused not aware of the inside joke they were chuckling about. She looked around at all the teenagers chatting and swimming all around her.

"Wow, makes me feel old." She said.

"What are you talking about, Like I said you're probably the hottest girl here."

"Oh really, what about that sexy little brunette over there that keeps smiling at you, or at least did until I got here." She said pointing over at Cindy who seemed a little disgruntled that Rick was talking to Victoria.

"Oh, um well maybe."

"She your girlfriend?"

"What? no......."

"But you were thinking about asking her out weren't you?"

"Maybe........ I don't know, do you think I should?" He said wondering what her response would be after what happened the other night

"Hmmm. Well she definitely seems attracted to you."

"Would it be a problem?"

"Why would it be?"

"I um....... I don't know, but do you think I have a shot?"

"Rick, you could have whoever you want, but the question is what do you want?" She said winking at him.

"Um...."

"Ha, I love doing that to you, you make it so much fun!" She said as she slipped off her dress showing off her amazing body that made many of his guests stop and stare for a moment before she jumped in the pool.

"Dude, you have to put in a good word for me." Eddie said standing next to him.

"She's older than us."

"I don't care, I want to check her for wrinkles then."

"What is wrong with you?"

"What, it's been a while okay."

"Yeah, a while."

He couldn't help but stare at Victoria as she swam. No matter how hard he wanted to go talk to Cindy he just couldn't help but stare at her and want her.

"Hi Rick." A woman's voice said to his left as he turned and saw Cindy standing there with a smile on her face.

"Oh hey, Cindy, how have you been."

"Just fine, so who's your friend there?"

"Oh Vicky? Just my neighbor."

"Neighbor, I don't remember her going to our school."

"Oh no, she's older than us but....... she's cool."

"I don't know if cool is the temperature I'd use to describe her."

"Yeah well, my Mom asked her to keep an eye on me."

"What like a babysitter?"

"No not like........ anyway what have you been up to?"

"Oh you know just a little of this and a little of that.........." Rich suddenly couldn't hear her anymore as he stared at Victoria who swam to the other end of the pool before she turned around and stared back at him with a smile on her face.

She looked at him licking her lips and he could hear his heart racing. There was nothing else going on around him and it was like they were the only ones there. She was the only woman in the world that mattered to him at the moment and he couldn't deny it anymore.

"Rick? Hello Richard?"

"Huh, oh sorry, I was distracted."

"Yeah I can see that." Cindy said before she turned and walked in to the house.

Rick felt bad for not giving Cindy the attention she wanted. He looked back towards the pool and suddenly noticed that Victoria was gone. He looked around and didn't see her anywhere and shook his head confused.

Cindy went in to the kitchen grabbing a drink from the fridge feeling a little aggravated with Rick. She thought to herself that maybe she needed to try a more aggressive approach if she was going to compete with that hottie that showed up and was distracting Rick from her.

She closed the refrigerator door and nearly jumped out of her skin. "Holy crap!" She said as the door closed and she saw Victoria standing there glaring at her. "You scared me."

"I'm sorry, sometimes I step more quietly than I realize."

"Okay? I'm Cindy by the way, and you're Vicky right?" She said putting her hand out to greet her.

"I am." she said looking down at her hand before she smiled at her.

Victoria put her hand up in front of Cindy's face putting her under some sort of trance. Cindy's eye's began to glaze over as she suddenly didn't seem like she was all there anymore and just stared blankly as her body wobbled a bit.

"Now listen to me, Rick is mine do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Good, you are quite an exquisite thing aren't you?" She said looking Cindy up and down.

She reached out and popped her top open a little taking a closer look at her. She was a very nice looking girl and Victoria knew she could mess up her plans if she let her so she got an idea that would make Rick forget about Cindy.

"Okay now listen to me, I have a job for you."

Rick was still looking for Victoria and Cindy when he walked in to the kitchen. "Vic, hey have you seen Cindy?"

"I think she just went back outside"

"What?" He said looking out the window

"What's wrong?"

"I wanted to talk to her, I was kinda rude to her and........" He stopped when he looked out the window and saw Cindy outside making out with his friend Eddie. "Son of a bitch!" He muttered under his breath as Victoria stood behind him with a smile on her face seeing what was happening.

Rick was a disappointed and a little mad at her, at Eddie and even himself a little.

"I'm sorry, what a bitch." She said standing there in her bikini still glistening from being in the pool as he turned and stared at her. "Rick you okay? You seem distracted."
