<\/a>When I got back, to my now empty beautiful large house, I went to the office to start to unpack there.\u00a0 It would be nice to have an office at the house now where I could work late but still enjoy being around my family.\u00a0 I knew Merida was home, there was some rustling happening but I just thought she too was unpacking stuff.\u00a0 Just then she peeked in my office… she was all done up, dressed to the nines… high heels, make up, hair done, everything.\u00a0 If my heart could beat, it would have skipped a few.\u00a0 I wanted her immediately and I just couldn’t help myself.\u00a0 She told me she had a surprise with a slight grin to her gorgeous face.\u00a0So I followed her out…<\/p>\nShe had bought new paints and brushes and canvases for me and had set them all up.\u00a0 She turns around and shimmies out of her dress, letting it drop to the floor.\u00a0 Now that’s what I call inspiration.\u00a0 She wanted me to paint a new portrait of her in our new house.\u00a0 So I sat her down, positioning her just right… and I got to work.\u00a0 Being a vampire does have its benefits… the precision of my work did not suffer because of my supernatural speed.\u00a0 Within 15 minutes or so I was done.\u00a0 Then I needed wine.\u00a0 I told her to take a look and I would get us two glasses of red wine from our bar.\u00a0 Then, after seeing my word,\u00a0she walked over to kiss me. It was one of those super hot, deep kisses full of desire and passion.\u00a0 The kind that leads to me pulling her bikini panties off and going to town on her with my tongue!\u00a0\u00a0 I just adore the taste of her… can’t help it.\u00a0 You can guess where it went from there….<\/p>\n

So as we packed up our old place, the girls and I lovingly wrapped all our nick knacks and furnishings.\u00a0 Room by room my daughters and I got most of our items all boxed up.\u00a0 Finally Merida came home and joined in helping us, her rooftop garden being one of the more difficult things to pack.\u00a0We had to ensure her “babies” wouldn’t get squashed or tumble out of the soil they were packed into.\u00a0 It was a lot of work,\u00a0but we finally got the majority of it done.\u00a0 Except of course, I wouldn’t let my girls into our master bedroom to pack anything.\u00a0 I mean heaven forbid they find mommy and daddy’s … “toy chest”.\u00a0 No, Merida and I would come back for our bedroom later. <\/p>\n![\"villa-vizcaya\"](\"http:\/\/www.childrenofdarkness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/villa-vizcaya.jpg\")
<\/a>So we got all of our stuff into the moving crates and loaded up the pack horses that would be moving our stuff over and finally made it to our new home, our grand estate that we have always dubbed Villa Vizcaya.\u00a0 I designed it into three parts… the main house, the west wing, and the east wing.\u00a0\u00a0The main house contained all the formal living spaces —\u00a0my art studio and\u00a0our offices occupying\u00a0ground floor, living and dining room on the first floor,\u00a0our master suite on the 3rd, and of course the majority of my wife’s garden space on the rooftop. The West Wing was where all our children would go and guest rooms, it also housed our main balcony and the hot tub area.\u00a0 The East Wing was our entertaining side — Merida’s tea room, my barbeque cooking area, and the swimming pool.\u00a0 This was the home we would raise all of our children in.\u00a0 It felt good to be here.<\/p>\n
