Watching Carmilla drink a man into head-lolling bliss on the other side of the bar made me understand why vampire hunters are always so obsessed with staking in the books and movies. My wife was a sensual, almost feral apex predator when she was out at night. She didn’t so much hunt her prey as seduce them, coaxing them into shadowy corners with a few bats of her long lashes and a flash of soft-looking, pale cleavage. They always smiled dopily as she ran them to ground, thrilled at their luck, unaware that agreeing to have a beautiful woman sip from their veins didn’t guarantee her presence in their beds. She struck with the ferocity of a viper, drank with the hunger of a starving animal, then walked away with the sway in her step of a well-fucked woman. When Carmilla fed, she was the most powerful creature in the room and she knew it. It made me want to nail her to the floor with my strap like staking her into a coffin, and she knew that too.

I watched her lick the blood off her lips in self-satisfied arrogance as she walked away from the schmuck with glazed eyes and a wet spot on the front of his jeans. Her hips switched in that way that made me want to paddle her black and blue for the way it invited everyone else to stare at her ass. Not because I was all that jealous or possessive, but because the covetous looks made her an absolutely insufferable brat. Her blood-colored eyes were smug and excited when she met my gaze.

“All done?” I asked coolly, not wanting to make a spectacle of the violent lust I knew she could hear pumping through my veins.

“Mmhmm.”

I stood and let her help me put on my lavender trench coat. Looking at us, people probably guessed I was the more submissive, demure partner. My dress was pristine white, my makeup sweetly pastel, my accessories whimsical. Meanwhile Carmilla was dressed in her signature black and sky high stilettos that made her tower over me, with a cat eye nearly as sharp as her discreet fangs. There was a reason her name had starred in hundreds of “predatory lesbian” stories, penned by the men she drained then left for a woman. She was a predator, in the more animal sense of the word, and when we were standing side by side, most people couldn’t tell that so was I.

As we walked the few blocks from the bar to our apartment, Carmilla slid her cold fingers into mine. When we paused for traffic at a crosswalk, she lifted our entwined hands up to her black-painted lips and kissed my knuckles. The mischievous, disrespectful sparkle in her eyes gave credence to the sillier stories of vampires that glittered in the daylight. She looked at me over my knuckles like she was in charge, like I could be manipulated and hunted the same as her dinners.

“Sass me all you want,” I drawled, “I’m not playing hard tonight.”

“I made him cum,” she purred. “I could’ve stopped before he did, but I didn’t.”

I tugged her forward by our hands as the crosswalk light changed. My brain buzzed with the need to put her in her place, to punish her until she cried, to tie her down and make her cum again and again until she broke. Was this how she felt before she fed? What was the difference between regular lust and bloodlust when my regular lust included a blunt edge of violence?

It didn’t matter. The needs throbbing in my clit and the flats of my palms didn’t matter. Neither did Carmilla’s needs that sometimes seemed to match mine so well it felt as magical as immortality. I’d had a god awful week at work and we’d gotten in a fight just this Tuesday. Hard play was great stress relief but it wasn’t the right place to vent my frustrations, especially not when some part of both of us might wonder if I was fucking her up because I loved her or because I was still a little pissed off. Inflicting pain wasn’t really the point. The trust and the control and the fucked up fantasy head games were. I didn’t ever want to make Carmilla cry or bruise for anything except ecstasy. Certainly not for signing me up for her annoying friend’s year-long pottery class and paying the hefty deposit out of our joint account without talking to me first.

Besides, she wasn’t totally in her right mind tonight anyway.

“You’re blood drunk,” I reminded her.

“Come onnn,” she whined as we turned the corner onto our street. “It’s not like I’m alcohol drunk. My head’s just a little buzzy.”

“Not happening.”

“I’m totally sober!”

I didn’t respond as we reached our building and trudged up the stairs. I fished my keys out of my favorite purse, a red sequin shoulder bag that looked like a Heinz ketchup bottle. It had been Carmilla’s first present she ever got me, and I kept my eyes on it as we walked up the stairs to our apartment to remember how much I loved her when she pulled out The Brat Voice.

I didn’t think of myself as a Brat Tamer because Carmilla wasn’t really a brat. She was a centuries-old powerful monster with enough beauty, money, and magic to get basically everything she wanted whenever she wanted it. Carmilla was a brat like children were brats—she hadn’t been told ‘no’ enough, and now it was everyone else’s problem. My problem. She wanted a Domme, wanted to be submissive and agreeable, wanted to be praised and spanked and fucked into oblivion. She had years of experience as a trained submissive. But she had even more years of experience having her way. Calling me a Brat Tamer was like calling a mothman hunter a lepidopterist.

I wasn’t a Brat Tamer, I was a Countess Domesticator.

“You just don’t have the strength to make it hurt when I’ve just fed,” Carmila said airily, trying to bait me. “You should have me on a cross right now for making a boy cum without your permission.”

“Oh, you will get your punishments for that,” I warned her darkly, kicking off my boots as we walked through the door. “But not tonight. You’re blood drunk.”

“Am not!”

Carmilla’s foot landed in a spoiled child’s stomp, only she wasn’t a child. She wasn’t human at all. The hardwoods she stomped cracked, splitting a plank in two. I rubbed the fuzzy ring on my right hand with my thumb to self-soothe while I stared at where her bare, colorless foot had damaged the floor.

“Yes, because that was the act of a sober person,” I said dryly.

“Fuck!”

My infuriating, beautiful, amazing wife turned on the ball of her destructive foot with the grace of a Russian ballerina and stormed out of the room. I mentally wrote off the broken floorboard as tomorrow me’s problem and went through the motions of putting away my things with forced calm. That was the other thing a hard scene was good for: giving me a methodical outlet when things felt out of control. There were repeatable, familiar steps to a scene, planned sequences of flogging or paddlings that had a calming, monotonous affect on me. Punishing Carmilla the way she was begging me to would put everything back to rights in my head, burn off all the frustration of seeing her at her most potent that I always felt on feeding nights. But hard scenes were right out when she was this frenzied, so I had to go with something softer. Which meant putting away our coats and shoes and the rest of our date night clothes with fanatical military precision until I felt a little more in control.

She wasn’t in our bedroom, but that was fine. I changed out of my dress and put on one of the latex lingerie sets she liked, the plain lavender one that didn’t slip or roll down when I put on a strap. It was a time-consuming process, getting latex on. Less like donning clothes and more like carefully applying a second skin. A second skin that, if it ripped, was beyond my skill to repair. By the time I had it on and my hair pulled out of the way, I felt level again. The scene appeared in my head suddenly, like unfolding a map that had been drawn centuries ago. It was perfect. Softer, in that it didn’t involve physical pain. But meaner than physical pain. The exact kind of punishment she would need tonight, after breaking the floor during a temper tantrum. The kind of punishment I needed, to feel like I’d subdued and contained a volatile creature I had no actual ability to physically control. A perfect scene.

Time to hunt down my vampiress and give her the staking she needed.

I found her in our playroom, lying facedown on the bed with her arms splayed wide in defeat. The room was floor to ceiling white, without a speck of color. The Saint Andrew’s cross and paddling bench, the bed frame and all its attached hardware, the floggers, paddles, and vibrators. All of it matched the inhuman color of Carmilla’s skin and hair. In the arctic white of the playroom, when she was naked she blended in perfectly with the bed. Her spoiled baby stomping foot had the only spot of color in the room, showing off a thick wooden splinter. You’d think a creature whose one physical weakness was wood would be a little bit more careful with the hardwoods. I grabbed the first aid kit I kept in the closet and sat on the edge of the bed to start pulling it out. She whined and tensed up when I probed the skin around the protruding splinter.

“You know better than that,” I said calmly when she started to jerk her foot away from me. “Be a good girl for me and hold still.”

Once the sliver about the size of my pinkie was removed, I pricked a finger on my non-dominant hand and pressed it over the round, bloodless hole in her foot. Carmilla moaned first from the small dose of human blood and then from my hands massaging her feet. Vampire foot massages felt like mashing granite wrapped in a weighted blanket, but they were good for keeping the muscles in my fingers strong. Definitely preferable to the rubber band exercises I used to do, especially when they came with such pretty moans.

When both feet had gotten proper attention, I started touching her with firm authority, running my hands up her legs, over her hips, her back, her arms. I fondled her until she squirmed, then climbed on top of her, bracketing her ass with my thighs and pinning her down with my weight. She liked feeling caged and controlled so much that it probably wouldn’t even occur to her that I was as easy for her to throw off as a teddy bear. I put one hand on the back of her neck in a firm hold and she sighed happily, completely melting beneath me.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled into the bed.

“I know, baby,” I soothed, sliding my fingers into her mass of silvery curls that felt like steel wool. “What do you want to do tonight?” I massaged her skull in a way that would be rough on a human and I knew her toes were curling behind me. “I could have some of those macarons and you can lick the sugar off my lips while we cuddle…” I leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her shoulder through her dress. “Or we can have some vanilla sex and I can tell you how much I love you…”

“I want to play,” she whined.

“No hard stuff,” I said gently, laying my body over hers so she could feel my heartbeat right above where her own was still.

Carmilla drew her arms in under her chest, showing both that my weight on top of her really was meaningless and that she felt self-conscious. “Please punish me. Please. I fucked up. With the floors and the guy and being a bitch. I deserve it.”

I continued massaging her head with one hand and slid the other under her cool body to hug her as much as I was able. “No hard punishments tonight.” I kissed her shoulder again. “But we can play softer, if you want.”

“Like mean soft?”

“If you want,” I repeated.

“Yes, please.”

“Ok. What’s your safeword, baby?”

That was how all our scenes started, and I felt Carmilla shiver under me in anticipation. “Meatloaf,” she squeaked. Because she would do anything for love but she won’t do that. It had been her safeword since I was in diapers and I had to fight a laugh every time I heard it.

“Good girl.”

I sat up and started to undress her. Apparently her floor-cracking temper tantrum had drained all of the brat out of her, because she was very meek and obedient as I pulled off her dress. “I was going to let you cum tonight,” I said as I braided her hair to start the scene, “but I guess you’re too drunk for that.”

“No,” she whined into the white bed linens. “I’m not that drunk!”

I got off her back without a word, going to hang up her dress and put on my white leather harness and the matching ice white strap. I had a collection of colors and shapes, part of my eccentric accessory habit, but I liked the white ones best. They matched the playroom and the submissive lying naked where I’d left her. The only parts of her that stood out in the swaths of white were her black toenails. The starkness of the room always calmed me, made everything feel clean and safe when it sometimes wasn’t at all. And the way Carmilla matched everything made her feel like an object too, helping to shift her perspective until she dropped into subspace.

“I’m not blood drunk,” she reiterated. “I’m just stupid.”

“Hmmm.”

“Really, daddy, I promise,” she looked over her shoulder at me, cheek still pressed to the bed, and I understood exactly why someone would immortalize her. She looked so exquisitely breakable, yet never really could be now. A perfect toy for the real monsters of the world like me. “I’m not that blood drunk, I’m just really dumb. You tell me so all the time.”

I ran my fingers over her lush ass, looking like it was carved out of marble but dimpling under my touch better than any sculptor could create. “I guess I could try to fuck the stupid out of you…” I mused.

“Yes, please, daddy! Thank you!”

Carmilla wiggled under me like an excited dog until she was on her back, her hands still clasped against her chest. I trailed my fingers across her belly as she said earnestly, “I’ll be better, I promise.”

She slinked off the edge of the bed like something made more of shadow than reality, and landed on her knees right in front of me.

“I’ll be so smart for you, daddy.”

Wide, doe eyes the color of fresh blood looked up at me beseechingly as she inched her face closer and closer to my strap, waiting for me to tell her to stop. I wasn’t going to. This was one of her favorite games. I didn’t even have to order her around anymore. If I told her I was going to be mean, she was going to be on her knees, sucking my strap.

“I’ll be so smart,” she whispered fervently, her black lips already opening to swallow the white silicone head.

She sucked cock the way her blood donors could only dream of, with an eagerness and downright neediness to her movements that no pornstar could ever truly imitate. I watched her bob her head diligently over my length until it was well-lubricated, then she set her hands to the task too. She suckled the head like there were nerves there that would feel it while jerking the length with both hands twisting and tugging. She swallowed as much of the strap as she could, her eyes never leaving my face, and then without any prompting from me, pushed it further than she could take. Her fangs scraped the length gently in a way that I guessed would’ve felt tantalizingly dangerous on a real penis and her throat moved in gulping, loud swallows that would probably drive someone else to a messy and unexpectedly quick orgasm.

She moaned and sucked and stroked until she was a desperate mess of smeared lipstick and running mascara. It was enough to convince even the most hardened cynic that she genuinely derived pleasure from sucking cock. And it was entirely wasted on me. It turned me on to see her so desperate and it soothed the parts of me that wanted to be everything for her, including her food source. I might not be able to single-handedly provide her the blood she needed without significantly weakening myself, but at least the fuckers that did never got any of her true gifts. Her trust, her love, her mouth—those were mine. Only I could give her the safety to fully surrender.

The wash of erotic pride watching her debase herself for me like this became a rush when she started to whine piteously around my strap, clearly thinking she hadn’t done a good enough job in apologizing with her mouth yet. Good. I wasn’t done fucking with her head.

“Is this what smart girls do, Carmilla?” I asked, sliding my hand around the back of her head to guide her into bobbing it because she looked so pretty when she did. “Do they suck on straps that can’t feel anything like they’re trying to make them cum? That seems kind of stupid to me.”

She pulled back from my strap with a pitiful moan of shame and said, “Let me suck on something else, daddy.” Without waiting for permission like a smart girl in her position would, she ducked under my strap to press her face against my pelvis. Cold hands gripped my hips as she tried to hold me still so she could get to my clit. Which wasn’t going to happen because it took forever to get out of latex.

“I’m not sure you’re smart enough for that, baby. I think eating pussy might be too complicated for you.”

“No! I can do it,” she gasped, and I could feel her tongue trying to lap at me. Through the latex, the sensation wasn’t acute enough to cause me any significant pleasure. “I’m smart, I can do it, daddy.”

“Girls like you aren’t made for anything useful like that, sweetheart.” I gripped the hair at the back of her head I was still holding and tugged her backward. I didn’t have any physical power over her, I couldn’t even pull out her hair, but she obeyed the command of my touch anyway.

“I can do it!” she gasped again, crawling backward onto the bed at the direction of my hand. “I’m smart.”

“Now you’re not even making sense,” I said as I dragged her by her hair toward the foot of the bed. “First you say you’re stupid, now you say you’re smart. Maybe you’re just drunk and we need to stop.”

“No no no, please, daddy.”

I went to one of the white cabinets nearby and pulled out the harnesses and cuffs I needed. One for her waist, two for her thighs. The ones for her wrist were attached to the reinforced steel of the bedframe. Tying down a vampire without using toxic silver was expensive but worth it. I yanked Carmilla up by her hair into a kneeling position on top of the bed, then manhandled her the way she liked: perfunctory and rough, with the occasional dispassionate groping.

“This too tight?” I tugged hard on the harness.

“No, daddy,” she said meekly.

“Good. I’m going to tie you down so you can’t get into any more trouble until the blood wears off. This too tight?”

“No, daddy.”

“This one?”

“No, daddy.”

“Good girl.”

“See, daddy. I’m a good girl,” she asserted like a lawyer presenting damning evidence. “I know how to be good. I always know how.”

“Really? Then what were you being at the bar? Or when we got home? Is that how good girls behave? Or is that how drunk girls behave?”

She put out her hands to stop me. “Please. I’m a little buzzy. And-and I feel all sparkly and like my heart is going to turn back on.” Her eyes were big and earnest. “But I’m here, daddy. Please. I’m not too drunk. I don’t need to stop.”

Her anxiety was getting the best of her. I cupped her cheek and said in my normal voice, “Ok, Carmilla. You’re not drunk.”

I slid my hand back behind her head and said, “But I still think you’re too stupid to eat pussy.” I guided her onto her back, with her head at the end of the bed.

“Nuh-uh,” she whined weakly even as she offered me her wrist so I could wrap the cuffs chained to the bedrame around them.

I bound the other wrist as I said conversationally, “There’s too many things to focus on, baby. It’s too much for your little brain to handle. You’ll get too excited and confused and then I’ll be the one left all wet and frustrated. And that’s your job, isn’t it?”

“Yes, daddy,” she said glumly.

I stood up and walked around to climb onto the bed and between her legs. Her red eyes latched onto my strap hopefully and she opened her legs wide in anticipation. I pushed one up until the cuff around her thigh was close to her hip, then clipped the two together.

I clipped the other thigh into place and asked, “This feel ok? Anything pinching?”

“No, daddy.”

I got off the bed again and walked over to a different toy cabinet. “When you’ve got a dumb, messy girl begging to suck a clit they might not even be able to find, there’s really only one way to know for sure where her head’s at.”

I brought the white wand with its large, bulbous head into Carmilla’s line of sight.

“If you’re the same level of brainless while this is on,” I said like it made perfect logical sense, “then you’re too dumb to touch my pussy.”

I got on the bed between her legs again.

“But if you get stupider,” I said conversationally, “that means you’ve got juuust enough brain in this pretty skull,” I tapped her forehead and smiled, “to get me off.”

I clicked on the wand and it whirred like a chainsaw in my hand. I gave it a considering look. “Though I guess by then you’ll probably have cum all those pretty brains out.”

“Wait, daddy, let me try first—let me, I can—oh nooo,” she wailed as I set the wand onto her clit. Not because she didn’t want me to, but because she knew what happened now. No pussy licking for this girl tonight. She would be braindead and undead just the way I liked her.

Vampires, in my limited experience of one, were the opposite of humans: when a human went from moaning and sobbing to silent, they were fucked out. When a vampire started making noise, that’s when you needed to worry about pushing them too far. She didn’t have to breathe, so most of Carmilla’s cries were silent as I pushed her through one orgasm after another. She was so beautiful as she moved from pleasure to suffering. Her skin was the color of moonlight, her clit like a glittering star between her legs, guiding me to her pleasure. She writhed and shook under my wand in complete silence, as if she didn’t really exist, like she was a ghost or merely a figment of my imagination. When we got into harder scenes, when my world narrowed to the swing of my arm and the pace of my breathing, I sometimes started to wonder if she was real at all or just a fantasy I wanted so badly I hallucinated her. She was so beautiful and physically perfect, so perfect for me even in her flaws. I loved her mind, her humor, her kinks, her trust. I even loved nights like tonight, when she was so powerful she couldn’t understand why the one person she needed not to, didn’t fall under her spell and do exactly what she wanted. She pushed me harder than I sometimes knew what to do with but in the end, she still submitted so beautifully to me.

She didn’t sweat, not like humans, but she did start to release the shiny, pearlescent chemicals that made her what she was. On her tongue, it was a hunting venom, subduing her prey with pleasure and quickly healing their wounds so they’d have no evidence of being fed on. Which was why I couldn’t let her go down on me: then I’d be the one too intoxicated for a scene. When it bloomed on her entire skin like this, it was a defense mechanism. Why would you want to hurt me? the iridescent luster of her skin asked, I make you feel so good. But it wasn’t stronger than the red desperation in her eyes to be hurt just the way I gave it to her.

“Ooooh,” she whined thinly, struggling to inhale enough to make sound. “Daddyyy.”

“You’re being such a good girl for me,” I told her.

“I’mmm…”

“I know you’re cumming, baby. I know. You’re doing so good.”

“Hurts,” her voice cracked.

“You wanted to get punished,” I reminded her.

“Uuuhnn,” she moaned unintelligibly. She fought her bindings hard, but she couldn’t get away from the wand.

“I just hope you’re smart enough to learn your lesson this time,” I said conversationally. “But I doubt you will. You never do.”

“Mmmm sorrryyyy,” she wailed.

“Is that how we apologize, Carmilla?”

Her stomach leapt with her panting as she tried to keep breath in her lungs enough to talk while also trying to remember how to apologize. This was always my favorite part. Watching her try to string the words together while she was too brainless to breathe.

“Please forgive me, daddy,” she gasped. “Please. Please forgive me.”

I dropped the wand, making her cry out in relief, and then in shock as I pushed my strap inside her. I levered myself over her with one hand on the bed by her head and cupped her cheek with the other one.

“Please forgive me, daddy.”

“I forgive you, baby.”

I unclipped one of her cuffs so she could wrap an arm around me while I fucked into her with brutal thrusts that made her groan in exhausted pleasure-pain. I lowered my chest onto hers, smothering her in my scent, in my heartbeat. Smothering myself in that drug pumping out of her skin.

“I love you, daddy,” she gasped into my ear as I fucked her. “I love you daddy, I love you.”

I kissed her deeply, picking up more of the venom on her tongue. “Make me cum,” I growled.

Carmilla grabbed my waist, clearly intending on pulling me up her body to sit on her face. But her head was hanging off the edge of the bed, and I wasn’t the one with the ability to fly (well, hover).

“Not like that,” I snapped, thrusting harder and making her cry out.

She whined but obeyed, using her free arm to hold me close as she tucked her face into my neck and her fangs into my veins. She sobbed as the taste of my blood hitting her tongue made her cum again, milking my strap helplessly. I moaned and locked up as the injection of venom right into my bloodstream made me cum too. My vision went white from pleasure rather than the surroundings, my thrusts stalling out as my body writhed on top of her.

“Yes, daddy,” she hissed in feminine satisfaction over my pleasure.

“Oh fuuuck,” I groaned, shaking and pinning her down with my strap.

It went on forever, chemically enhanced beyond anything a human could normally experience. I missed the moment she unclipped herself enough to wrap her arms and legs around me, but I was glad for it when she bit me again just as I began to come down. I spasmed in her inhuman grip, making sounds I’d never made with any other woman. I bit down on her throat for some sort of purchase, not hard enough to break the skin but hard enough to make her cum again.

“Daddyyy,” she whined sweetly as the soft orgasm made her go all pliant and sleepy under me.

“Good girl,” I panted, smearing my sweaty face against her neck to scent mark her the way she liked. “Such a good girl for me.”

I lifted my head enough to rest my forehead against hers. “My perfect girl,” I whispered.

We lay for a long time like that, my heartbeat pressed to her skin, her blood red eyes taking over my vision. The frustration and the floorboard and the post-feeding drive to subdue her faded away and we were just us. Distilled down to our truest essences, all of our insecurities and problems a white vapor around us that couldn’t touch us anymore. This was the alchemical process the scientists and mystics of Carmilla’s human days were seeking. For a few moments, maybe even just a few beats of my heart, we turned both our worst traits into gold.

I gave my vampiress one last gentle kiss and began to untangle myself. I lifted myself off her with shaky arms and did my best not to stumble as I walked over to the aftercare closet. The aftercare supplies were in gentle shades of gray, a visual cue that playtime was over. Sometimes I needed the comforts in here too, but usually my aftercare was giving it to her. Taking care of her, being soft and gentle, telling her in every way my pleasure- and venom-soaked brain could find how beautiful and loved she was—that was how I soothed myself. It was too easy to get caught up in the existential questions (why did I like hurting her? what was wrong with me?) and make myself into the villain. But seeing my wife wrapped up in a gray blanket, red eyes blown from pleasure and cheeks tear-streaked from pain, getting to hold her as we both came down from the scene, was the antidote to a lot of mental poisons.

“Thank you, daddy,” she whispered later in our bedroom as she let me brush out and braid her shower-wet hair before bed.

I kissed the one barely visible bruise I’d left on her skin, the bite mark on her throat. “You know that wasn’t all of your punishment, right baby?”

She hung her head. “Yes, daddy,” she morosely.

I hugged her from behind and held her close so she would know I was just talking play and we were actually fine. “When do you want the rest?”

Carmilla turned her head so she could look at me with those deceptively fragile red eyes. “Next weekend?”

I kissed her forehead. “It’s a date.”
