pleasure. “Oh yes,” he crooned. “Fuck me, Constantine…fuck me…”
And I did. The sounds and sensations that surrounded us were like nothing either of us had ever experienced before. His mind was open to me, along with his body, and his thoughts were of ecstasy and bliss and of the best sex he had ever had in his life. And those thoughts drove me wild, for of course, I wanted this to be the best he’d ever had or ever Blood Resurrection

would have. As I thrust hard into him, driving my cock all the way to the root, he cried out his delight, saying my name over and over, clinging to me as I pounded his body with mine.
Suddenly, he let out a strangled cry, harsh with need and pleasure, and I felt the surge of his orgasm erupt between our bodies, his hot semen spraying over both our chests even as I emptied my seed inside him. I heard myself give vent to a long low growl that made Gustav laugh and cling to me even tighter while we both shook and shuddered in each other’s arms.
“ Oh, mein Gott—du bist wunderbar, meine Constantine,” he whispered in my ear. “ Und du bist das beste liebhaber …the very best lover.” “Gustav, caro mio …” I pledged myself to him. “ Ti voglio bene .”
“I love you too,” he said.

To know Gustav, was to love him. In the days and weeks that followed, our relationship grew and strengthened until I found myself thinking of him day and night. The time we spent together was the happiest I had ever known, but at the same time, I knew that what I had to do would end it. Once the Master called me to his side, all earthly desires would have to cease. I would have to give up my association with Gustav and bend my will to His. This was my destiny, and it could not be altered. Not by me, nor any living being—
not even by love.
The end of times is prophesied in many books, including the Bible. Prophets, both genuine and charlatan, have pronounced Armageddon as inevitable. Numerous stories have been written on how to look for the signs of the approaching apocalypse—some based on fact, but most outright conjecture. Nevertheless, many believe it will come, and when it does, my Master will take advantage of the chaos to announce his destiny—to save mankind from its own destruction and to rule unopposed forever. Those who resist will be killed. Those who comply will live under the Master’s laws and will prosper, for a time. I do not pretend to know the end result of all this, for man’s future is hidden from all but the Master. I was not even certain what my fate would be. All I knew was that I was created to serve him and to prepare the way for his coming.

You may well ask how someone as monstrous as me could find the power and the desire to love a mortal being such as Gustav. A fair question, for the answer is my curse.
Although I am demon spawn, I was born of humankind. I feel that the woman who bore me must have had a loving soul. She must have been a compassionate mortal with hopes and dreams of her own. I say this because of the moments of doubt I have about what I am doing—moments that recently have become hours, even days when my mind rebels at what the Master commands me to do.
Before, it seemed simple. It was my destiny. Now…now I find myself wishing for a different destiny, one that includes my beloved Gustav. One in which I would never have to admit to him what I am, and why our futures cannot include each other. If, for one moment, the Master ever guessed that I hold such traitorous thoughts, he would not hesitate to terminate my existence, regardless of what I am to him, or even more terribly, threaten Gustav’s life as the penalty for my betrayal.
There is no turning back for me, no change of course. What was decreed hundreds of years ago, I cannot change, no matter how hard I may wish to.
