Who are you? (short story)

The cold wind hit my face before I had fully opened the door. The sun had not yet made its rise into the large darkness called the sky. Not a soul walked the streets and the street lamps cast an orange light on small circular areas. The morning quietness was what I was accustomed to, and yet, I felt watched. A cup of water being cradled in the crock of my arm and dog food in my right hand, I pulled the door closed with my left hand.
Turning around to descend the white stairs of my house, I stopped abruptly in my tracks. On my garage, a long beam of wood was sticking straight up. However, today there was someone casually sitting on that beam. We stared at each other for a long moment. My heart beat was thundering loud in my ears but I stood frozen, staring at the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life.
He watched me with lazy, acute eyes and didn't move from his post. Trying to decide which way would be safest for me to get back into my house, I shifted my weight on my left leg. I was getting ready to start running when one moment he was on my garage, and the next he was close enough that our noses touched. I jumped and gave an involuntary gasp. Acting quickly, I thew both my dog food and water at his face before reaching behind me to open the door and into the safety of my house. He held my hands together and pinned me against the door before my fingertips touched the door nob.
I stared at his eyes, a mixture of bright red and black, and felt the fear start to grow. He didn't say anything and I didn't either. He leaned closer to me and nuzzled my neck. Sighing, he leaned his body into mine and still kept me immobile. I felt him shuddering and trying to snuggle deep into my body. It took me a moment to realize that my jacket had been ripped open for his own body coldness was against my t-shirt that I threw on. We stayed like that for a while and slowly my fear started to go away.
Raising his head from my neck, he stared at me with those interesting eyes and kissed me. I had been so surprised that I jumped and the motion caused me to bite him on his bottom lip. His breathe caught in his throat and slowly licked away the tiny droplets of blood that had formed. Fear was once again ignited within me as I watched his eyes turned redder and a slow smile bloomed on his lips. A scream started building within me when he gave me a huge grin. He knew I was afraid of him. Black spots started popping up in my vision as I felt myself start to experience a panic attack. My chest started falling and rising rapidly as my breathe got shallower. Darkness started to drown me until I finally gave into it.
