Lestat x reader smut --- Lestat takes a liking to a mortal girl, going as far as to break into her home and read her diary, only to be caught. Or, perhaps he wanted to be caught.

Lestat never enjoyed lurking. Yes, the shadows loved him as he once loved the sun; his whole livelihood depended on them, but he never enjoyed being in them. He wanted to be out, to explore and live his non-life out in the bustling streets of New Orleans. He wanted to watch the opera and see the ballet over and over again, to marvel at the dancers and singers, let the loud drums of the music penetrate his ears so it felt as if he was completely one with the world that was sketched to him in wordless, abstract ways. This way of living was easier in the winter, when the sun would dip below the horizon early in the evening, and Lestat could abandon his coffin in favor of attending parties and skipping down the cobblestone streets.
But now, in the middle of July, when even he, a cold-blooded creature, seemed to warm up under the near-tropical sun, it was hard for him to attend his usual ballets, operas, and plays. Usually, he would prowl the streets until the early hours of the morning, finding a couple or a gaggle of friends that had finally finished partying to tap blood from. Spirits genuinely spoiled the sweet, metallic taste of blood, but a single, even petite woman would be able to get him drunk. And oh, how he enjoyed lounging around even more after that, his sky-high confidence peaked impossibly higher, and the skip in his step just a little more enthusiastic, albeit wonky and less coordinated. But now, the sun rose even before six, right when people were coming out of densely decorated townhouses in their gowns and jewels, stumbling across the alleyways where Lestat would usually pounce. The sun also went down too late for him to catch his shows at the nearest theater.
One day, he found himself leaving the city center for a change, tired of walking empty, boring streets and having to kill only the ones that were already dead, to society at least. Beggars in torn and dirty clothes, money-hungry conmen with snake oil and opiates, and street preachers that would fall to their knees if they found out what daggers he hid beneath his lips. Until one day, one faithful summer evening, mere minutes after the sun had fully set and the sky no longer had any color aside from the grey clouds floating overhead, he found his new target. She was mysterious, prowled around at night so much that he, for a beat, questioned if she was one of the few other vampires wandering New Orleans.
Only, she wasnât. Her blood was fresh, sweet, young, and untouched by the curse of age and time. She never spoke to anyone on the street, and her glance was always aimed at the sidewalk or the street, if not the many different types of birds that sat on the railings of balconies overhead. Lestat knew most about her: where she went to eat, where she bought her clothes, where she sat to read her fantasy novels, even where she lived. He also knew that, unlike the front she had put up, she was far from Christian or Catholic. Only did she go to the church to fit inâand occasionally stare and daydream at the sight of black-clad nuns who hid their beautiful figures under shapeless gowns and veils. It was like she wondered what was beneath it, and if she would ever see such a thing from women so modest. She was curious, odd, yet only Lestat seemed to ever notice that about her.
After months of tailing this woman, Delia, her name was, Lestat decided it was finally time to invade more than just her privacy and personal lifeâhe was going to break into the apartment she had bought with her fatherâs inheritance after he died from pneumonia. Heâd heard her conversing about it with a priest at the manâs funeral, which Lestat had naturally watched from afar. Strangely enough, she seemed not to care in the slightest when the coffin was finally buried. It only made him wonder more.
The Vampire had to scale one of the buildings to break into a window he knew Delia kept open. Finding her leather-bound journal and reading it revealed to him that she kept this very window open to let in the smell of petrichor whenever it rainedâwhich, in the summer, was nearly constant. He read about her fantasies of medieval knights and kings, of monsters, amongst which were vampires, and that her mother had become handicapped due to a traumatic brain injury, now to be indefinitely taken care of by Deliaâs younger brother at her familial home outside of the city.
Her stories of her family and the tragedy surrounding it werenât long, ten pages of perfect, flowing, curling words at the very most. After that came her thoughts on those beautiful, graceful nuns, even some words on the priests that roamed and heard her out in the confessional, though they werenât nearly as passionate as the next few drafts and scribbles in that journal, some of the words smudged with drops of ink as if sheâd, in her passion, had pressed the pen down too hard.
Deliaâs thoughts were direct on paper, as if they wrote themselves when that pen of hers contacted the little book. She spoke of working women, whores, ones sheâd only dared to come to in the dead of night when even a city as alive as New Orleans seemed to die. Lestat had to sit down on a nearby couch when he read these vile sentences in utter entertainment, detailing every single night of wickedness that Delia seemingly savored with every inch of her being.
It was as if these prostitutes had corrupted her poor, innocent mind. The pages after another female-friendly quarrel seemed to peak in their godlessness. Lestat read thoughts of pain, finding pleasure in it, the way she seemed to enjoy it whenever grabbed by the throat, and how she could not stop thinking about the time a whore bit her neck in the throes of passion, how it sent her thoughts reeling into a realm of the romanticization of filth.
Lestat enjoyed these deeply personal stories as he read, and even lit the candles scattered around the room in bronze candelabra to create a cozier ambience to read in; it almost felt as if they were friends. He knew every small, minute, disgusting detail, and she wasnât even aware of his existence at all. He wouldâve probably read it in her journal if ever she had seen him and was suspicious about his presence.
. . .
Deliaâs return home was nothing short of a shock, the smell of melted wax filling her mortal nostrils as she ascended the stairs to her apartment. It was peaceful inside, and well lit with flickering flames. As if somebody had suddenly decided that she needed a roommate.
She moved further inside on careful feet, her steps quiet to her own ears, but loud to Lestatâs preternatural ones.
When rounding the corner of a particularly large, ornate, hardwood cabinet, the vampire finally came into view. He was sitting on her couch as if he owned the place, her book of secrets open in one of his hands, the other balled up into a loose fist to hold up his head as he leaned his elbow on the couchâs armrest.
âAh, youâre home.â His deep, rich, and smooth, French-accented voice rang through the house, mingling with the ambient crackling of wood in the fireplace. âThese stories, ooh la-la!â Taking out his fist from under his jaw, he fanned his face with it, a flair of dramaticism in his action.
âWho the hell are you?â Delia trembled, demanding answers with two balled fists and a fast-beating heart. She wasnât going to allow this man to take her house, or her dignity, whatever it was he planned to do with her. When her eyes flicked to a brand-new letter opener on the salon table in front of Lestatâs legs, his eyes followed hers.
âKill me?â He scoffed dramatically, throwing the open journal on the table with a thud before rising to his feet, making her cower and step back a few feet. âYou mean to kill me? My love, I mean no harm. You are simply so⌠intriguing. One would be mad not to, ehm, snoop.â
âGet the hell out.â She snarled, her heart jumping as she kept her eyes firmly on his formâonly for him to disappear in the blink of an eye. A gentle gust of wind hit her when he flew past, and soon he was behind her, taking her jacket like a pseudo-gentleman. The smell floating off his garments could only be described as musty and earthy, like the wet bark of a tree after a rainstorm, or brown leaves that had long since fallen off their host and dwindled into a cold puddle on the pavement. She was petrified with fear, yet her heart pumped a fierce hit of adrenaline through her veins, even as this man seemed to pose no threat.
âMa CherieâŚâ He tutted behind her, and with another gust of wind that swept her loose curls over her left shoulder, he stood in front of her, about two feet away. Close, but not too close, merely close enough to inspect and smell her. âYou wound me so, canât you see I mean you no harm? Iâm simply here in search of a companion, and I couldnât help but let my eyes and mind linger.â
âA companion?â Delia scoffed at the man, having to crane her head slightly to look up at him. She was five feet and four inches; he may have been six feet at the least. âThis is how you seek companions, is it? By breaking in and reading what is to be kept private!â"
Lestat twirled a lock of his thick, blonde hair around his right pointer finger, inspecting her as a painter would inspect his model. There was no grace in his look, bright blue, icy eyes staring at her bashfully. Sinfully, almost. Like he was seeing through her clothes. âWell, I suppose I understand the anger. Though, maybe I would be a little more grateful if I were you.â
âGrateful?â Her eyes flicked to the book on the salon table. âWhat will you do now, huh? After youâve read my darkest secrets? Will you rob me, kill me, or rape me? Will you tell the church so they come after me in your stead?â
A genuine, humorous laugh ripped from the manâs throat. His mouth was wide open, chin pointed up at the ceiling, and now she could clearly see.
Fangs.
Four of them, pointy and white, untouched by time and corrosion.
She exhaled sharply, stepping backward on instinct as if she had just been punched in the gut. This couldnât be, no. It couldnât. Vampires were only real in her imagination, in her dreams and nightmares alike.
âThey say it is never polite to play with your food.â Lestatâs eyes met hers when he tilted his head down again, his pupils wide with both hunger for the blood and excitement of the kill. She stood still, petrified beyond her limit, yet concealing her fear. âI agree, it isnât. But that doesnât take away the fun, does it, Cherie?â
âWhat are you going to do?â Deliaâs pounding heart rang loud in Lestatâs ears, like a distant drum, taking over the sounds of the outside world and creating a lovely rhythm in his head. The smell of her changed, more adrenaline surging, yet there was fear now, far more than there had been, now that she knew she was in his mercy. âDonât kill me, I beg you.â
âInteresting.â He kept his focus on the sound, quickening as he stepped closer, his scent intensifying in her nostrils. âNow you cower. Now you beg for mercy. And, I promise you, my love⌠As much as I enjoy hearing the cries of the damned, Iâm merely here to play.â
A new scent tickled his senses, arousal. She was aroused, whether by the sight of him, or his smell, his deepening voiceâhe couldnât tell. He had tried to mostly tune out her thoughts, enjoying the hunt and the mystery of her, but now that he tried to probe, there wasnât a single thought. With furrowed eyes, he watched her, trying to enter an empty mind, one running purely on instinct and need.
âYou have no thoughts,â Lestat exclaimed. Her heart kept thrumming in his mind. âAre you flustered?â
Delia didnât respond; she couldnât. The mere thought of his vampiric nature had turned her on beyond belief, more than she ever had been. There had been many debaucherous nights in brothels and bars, ones that her conservative peers would deeply disapprove of, but never had she felt so primal. Like a wolf and a lamb.
âAllow me to tell you what I plan to do.â She gasped as he took her arm, guiding her to the couch and setting her down with a hand only slightly too rough to be friendly. She sat and looked at the journal again, then at the letter opener, then at the gorgeous vampire looming over her. âI plan to drink your blood, but not to kill you. You are simply too interesting. I feel a kinship.â
Delia sat motionless like a scared cat, trying to get her emotions in check before she would make any hasty decisions. She felt a pull to him, one so strange, alien, as if she were a prisoner falling in love with her captor.
âDo you want this, Delia?â  Her name on his lips pulled a soft gasp and a twitch from her, her cheeks heating up from the way he drew it out in a sultry rasp. In the back of her mind, she knew his question was a fad. She had no choice in this. The thought of such subjugation only drew her in closer. This was carnality in a godless, even inhuman way.
It was as if there were swinging pendulums in Lestatâs bright, undead eyes, his fangs sticking out his upper lip slightly in a haughty grin when Delia finally nodded. Normally, he enjoyed a little bit more of a fight, but this strange girl was so intriguing that he put his preferences to the side completely.
Maybe, after this was done, after Lestat had had his fill, he would change this pretty woman. Her dark eyes would turn bright, perhaps grey or red, and she would hunt for prey by his side, forever. She already seemed lovestruck even without the grace of the Dark Gift. Lestat wanted to see all of her.
âBut first,â The vampire spun gracefully on his heels, away from the girl to a small side table on which sheâd propped up a flask of brandy. He poured her a modest serving, then dropped the crystal in her hands, taking a seat beside her on the couch with crossed legs.
âDonât youââ Delia held the glass out, all of the fervor and anger from before suddenly gone. Maybe he had a true claim on her emotions, or maybe she was simply an impressionable mortal.
âNon, chĂŠrie.â He waved the offer off with a limp hand, his nails perfectly sharp and elegant. âWe cannot eat human food, or drink human drinks.â
âOh,â Delia took a tentative sip, allowing the hard liquor to slide down her quivering throat. âDonât you miss it?â
âMortal food?â Lestat scoffed, flipping some blond hair out of his eyes with a dramatic flair. âNo, dear. I much prefer the taste of blood, and besides, you know where that brandy goes when you drink it, no?â
Delia blinked at him with a mouth full, swallowing it. âMy⌠blood?â
âmhm-hm.â He tipped the glass up with a finger when she took another sip, making her swallow all of it as he watched. âBrandy adds a lovely sweetness to the blood, and I get to feel that buzz your kind chases on warm Saturday evenings.â
âBuzz.â She chuckled, allowing the vampire to take her glass and place it on the salon table. The buzz, as mentioned, came soon after. Lestat sat on his knees in front of the couch, watching her, inspecting the throb of the widening veins in her neck.
âWhat is it you enjoy?â Lestat rose, strands of his blonde hair falling in front of his eyes as he reached a hand out, which Delia took with little hesitation. The drink was making her more fearless, deeply enthralled and intrigued by a very real, and very dangerous vampire at her fingertips. âSexually, I mean.â
A flush came over her as he led her to the open space in front of the fireplace, where he spun her with grace and practiced agility. The situation was absurd, yet she couldnât pull herself out of it, like she was in a trance set by this French, very sexy vampire. âWhy donât you tell me instead? Youâve read all my deepest thoughts, and yet youâve ceased to even tell me your name.â
âObservant.â He nodded, a proud smile on his lips as he once again pulled her along, now to the small bedroom hidden behind an ornate paneled door. âFirst,â He sat her on the plush bed but refused to lower himself, almost as if he were subconsciously reminding her that she was below him. âI donât have sex, chĂŠrie. Not in the way you do.â
Delia watched as the vampire walked around her room, lighting the candles with a simple glance. Not a match was in sight, yet somehow the flames flickered over his chiseled face.
âSecond, my name is Lestat.â He drew the word out, the final âtâ drifting off his tongue due to his western European enunciation. It was as if he said his name so slow to make her remember, to allow her to savor every vowel. âYou will remember my name, wonât you?â
âYes.â She nodded as Lestat gracefully drifted back over to her, removing the blue, swallow-tailed coat he had been wearing and tossing it over one of the bedposts. Underneath he wore a crème-colored shirt with billowing sleeves, ruffles lining the cuffs and falling over about a quarter of his perfect, hairless, large hands.
He watched her then, appreciating the pink hue on her cheeks and the way the very top of her stays bounced slightly with the beat of her heart. Oh, how he longed to stop it, to drain her completely and grant her a new life, to have her by his side forever. Together they would certainly be an interesting pair, far too outspoken and dangerous to haughty society.
âLestat?â Deliaâs southern accented voice was soft and higher pitched than before, now filled with intrigue and arousal rather than fear and anger like it had been before. The sound of his name on her lips would have made Lestat shiver if he were still a mortal.
He laughed ever so slightly at the hint of a plea in her tone, his lips curling up into an innocent smile. âYes, my love?â
âHow does one such as you live without sexual gratification?â Her eyes were wide as she looked up at him, pupils dilated.
âWouldnât you like to know, my dearest little nymph.â Though Delia wouldâve shown her teeth at any man using that word, which would normally have been spat in an imputative tone, she enjoyed the way Lestat had said it. His voice carried praise. âThere is an inherent sense ofâŚÂ eroticism in the drinking of blood.â
Delia chuckled softly, wiping her clammy hands on her dress in a coquettish fashion. The way she had been imagining Lestatâs kind had been true.
Now her thoughts were returning, her mind filled with obscene images of her and Lestat in bed, a dangerously depraved pair. She craved it more than anything, more than the whores, more than the teasingly covered nuns.
Lestat bit his lip when probing her thoughts, swimming through images of them naked, of what she imagined his body looked like, what it would feel like to have him deep inside and to cradle him after. But it wasnât like that, he wouldnât be able to grant her such things, not with what had been rendered lifeless after his transformation, what hung between his legs.
âIs that what you think of me?â He finally allowed himself to fall on the bed next to her, undoing the lace near the collar of his shirt. âI cannot give you such things, chĂŠrie. My nature doesnât allow it.â
She turned to him with hungry eyes, tracing down his neck as if she were the blood hungry monster instead of him. His blatant infringement of her thoughts seemed to be of no importance to her. âSo then drink my blood, Lestat. I want to know what itâs like, and I want you to enjoy it.â
Lestatâs hand reached for the tie in her hair, pulling it loose with ease and wiping her locks away from her untouched neck. She could smell his signature scent as he leant close, kissing her neck tenderly for only a few seconds, then pulling away. The smack of his moist lips alerted her, and her heart thrummed while waiting for the bite, only for the vampire to laugh and whisper in her ear. âDĂŠshabille-toi pour moi.â
Take your clothes off for me.
She nodded as if in a trance, and they both stood to work on her garments. Luckily she wore only a few layers due to the heat, a soft sheen of sweat visible when Lestat had successfully undressed her all the way down to her white stays and bloomers. He only had to untie a few strings to make the last items fall down onto the pile of fabric at her feet.
âMy, my,â The vampire drawled sensuously, inspecting every inch before finally reaching out to grab her waist. She gasped at the icy-cold digits on her sensitive skin, looking up when he had her nearly pressed against himself. âBelieve me, love, I do miss itâI do so miss being inside pretty things such as you. Though it can never as much as come near the thrill of the bite.â
âYou wonât kill me, will you?â Deliaâs voice was softer now, somewhat insecure without the protection of her garbs.
âNot yet.â Lestat answered while tossing his hair back and rolling his sleeves. âI want to taste you first, over, and over, and over. Until it bores you so that even death seems more interesting. Then, if you wish, I shall change you.â
Any normal human would have cowered and ran, but the girl smiled. She wanted this, and she wanted him. He took her over to bed again, laying her down on freshly fluffed chicken-feather pillows before crawling over to her, like a panther ready to strike. With blown-out, hungry pupils he stopped right above her pubic mound, lowering his lips to the skin of her stomach and kissing his way up. Only did he nip once or twice, though saving the bite for her beautiful neck.
âDo you want this, truly?â He whispered once at neck-height, once again kissing, feeling the stream of blood under his lips.
âYes. Please.â
He moaned softly at the sound of her desperate voice, breathing deeply while exclaiming a soft âputainâŚâ before allowing himself to feed. Deliaâs hands shot to the vampireâs soft hair when his teeth sank in, an icy spike of intense pain shooting throughout her neck and dispersing into her shoulder.
It was like a dam breaking, tainted blood flowing into Lestatâs hungry mouth, the cries of his darling victim ringing in his ears like the most beautiful sonata heâd ever heard. Her blood was sweet and had a faint punch to it from the alcohol consumed earlier. Lestat could almost remember the taste of brandy undiluted with blood.
He moaned deeply as he drank, pushing closer as if to mold his body into hers, his eyes rolling back with preternatural pleasure. Slowly his skin cleared up, and it seemed almost as if it were glowing with Deliaâs shared lifeforce.
She weakened, her heart slowing, eyes drooping, her grip failing. The two of them shared a moan when the vampire finally ceased his drinking, hovering over the girl with a  blood-stained mouth. A mixture of the blood and Lestatâs saliva dripped onto her pale lips, where she licked it off, fierceness still present despite her drained state.
âHow does it feel?â Lestat crooned, wiping a tear that had slipped from her eye and threatened to roll into the shell of her ear. She was happy, laughing, and extremely drowsy. âDo not fret, dear, you are nowhere near the end. I merely drank enough to make your body a little⌠confused.â
âIâI donât know.â Delia squirmed beneath him, desperately trying to focus her eyes on anything, but failing. âI feel⌠like Iâm floating, but also like Iâm falling.â
âYou,â Lestat flicked her chin, then affectionately and gently bopped her perfect nose, âare an immensely brave girl.â He watched her sweet smile for a second, drowning in the glimmer of her eyes while panting. âNow, I think it is most appropriate for me to return the favor of pleasure.â
Before Delia could answer, his hand was cupping her wet sex, running a finger down the slitâa finger that was now warm with her own blood. She moaned weakly at the contact, her vision spinning as the loss of blood slowly manifested into the feeling of nausea, something she was able to ignore for the time being.
âYes, darling.â Lestat moaned softly at her pleasure, probing her mind in an attempt to share some of the sensation. It was there, faintly tingling in his loins, though not nearly as agreeable as mortal sex, or blood drinking for that matter. His long finger soon dipped into Deliaâs wet, taut pussy, welcoming his hands with unwavering need.
âLestat,â She moaned, letting go of him when he sat back on his heels, hair hanging in front of his eyes when he introduced a second digit, and then a second hand. One pumped his fingers in and out with practiced precision, the other rubbed her clit in tight, perfect circles, making her quiver. Nobody had ever made her feel this way, made her ache so deeply for release. âYes, please, please,â
âPetit lapin, you whine so, and you donât even know what for.â The vampire laughed, his fingers curling, drawing more desperate moans and pleas from Deliaâs used and tired throat. Arousal began to drip from her, and the scent of her sweat filled the clammy room. âLet it come over you, my love, just as you did before. If you stay still and listen to me it will feel better.â
Her skin burned with arousal, her tired legs twitching  back to life as Lestat continued his ministrations on her. His hands were so perfectly trained that the movements felt vaguely clinical, like some perverted doctor âtreatingâ his female patient. She shivered at the thought, welcoming the fantasy for a brief moment. The vampire raised an eyebrow and chuckled at her when he saw the vision too, shaking his head.
âNaughty. So very naughty. Nymph.â He spat the last word out slightly, though there was still not a single trace of malice in his voice. He loved her depravity almost as much as he loved himself. The sensation strengthened in his lower stomach, alerting him to his museâs imminent orgasm. âLet go chĂŠrie, let go. Do it for me.â
After a few more pumps and some encouraging words from her newfound vampire lover, Delia finally cracked. Her tired, half-alive body writhed and shook with the orgasm that crashed through her in waves. Lestatâs hands continued to work until the very end, until she sobbed from the overstimulation. Only then did he stop and lick his fingers clean.
âThere.â The vampire stood, leaving the girl to recover in bed while he found a mirror to fix his hair in. She watched with confusion, grabbing his coat off the bed post to wipe her sweaty forehead wit it, surely staining the expensive fabric. Though he didnât seem to care.
âYou have a reflection?â
âOui.â Lestat took the velvet bow out of his ponytail, letting the wavy hair fall over his shoulders. âYou have a lot to learn about our kind. Especially if you wish to become one of us.â
