Ilena and the Mate that Nearly Broke Her

3

I awoke to a sharp pain in my stomach, I hadn't actually eaten anything last night. I look out the window, I guess it was still tonight. I untangle myself from Charles's limbs and walk into the kitchen after finding a robe on the end of the bed and throwing it on. I make myself a sandwich and eat it as I walk around the wall of windows, but no sooner had I taken the last bite had I started to feel nauseous. I bolt to the bathroom and heave into the toilet and two more times until I truly felt empty and am able to sit back against the wall as I catch my breath and try to relax. Feeling better, my stomach still hurts but I no longer feel nauseous, I decide to take a shower, maybe that would sooth my now aching muscles.

I turn on the hot water and slip the robe off of my shoulders and onto the floor, the hot water feels amazing as it poured down on me and I comb my fingers through my hair to completely wet it but when I pull my hands away they were covered in hair and a lot of it, I look down and there's even more on the shower floor.

"Oh my god." I gasped quietly as I tried not to freak out, I wipe the hair off of my hands and realize my hands and arms are raw and red, it was startling to feel like acid was attacking the skin all over my body.

I grunted painfully but held back the scream I desperately wanted to let go. My knees give out and I crumple onto the tile floor, blackness starts to seep into my vision just as I watch my nails start popping off and the acid seep into my fat, muscle and bone. I AM dying and in the worst way, I didn't even know there was something out there that could kill me like this.

And this was how I died.

I awoke curled up in a ball on the shower floor, I was no longer in any pain besides the bit in my stomach. The water had gone cold so I reached up and cut off the water, slowly I stood internally checking to make sure everything was indeed fine. I stepped out of the shower stall and dried myself off, picking up my robe I walked over to the sink. I guess it’s a good thing I didn't scream, I guess I had a day dream or something, either way Charles might think I was crazy for screaming at something that was not really happening.

Funny, I could have sworn this sink was higher up, that's weird, I thought as I reached for a sealed toothbrush. I started to brush my teeth as I finished toweling off my hair, I spit and looked up into the mirror for the first time since I got out of the shower and squealed, my hair was full and long rich brown, my skin was perfect and clear and tan, my eyes that were just brown before were now mixed with gold and I was skinny. I opened my robe and looked down, I was actually skinny, and like a model and now that I’m noticing, taller too. I touched my stomach, I could even swear there was muscle there as well.

"Ilena, are you ok?" I heard Charles call from the other room, he must have done this, that's why they all look like they walked right out of a magazine, and it’s...well whatever he did to me. I tie the robe as I storm out of the bathroom and into the make shift bedroom s***h living room.

"What did you do?" I asked accusingly as I walk towards him, hmmm, he smells good, like roasted almonds and s*x. How did I not notice that last night, everything feels weird too, thump thump, weird and completely natural all at the same time, I look out the window as something catches my eye, thump thump, it’s a woman walking around her office three blocks over but I can see her as if she is in the same room as me. Thump thump, and what is that noise, I look back to Charles and from across the room I can see the vein in the side of his neck pulsing. The sound of his heart beat calling me, I walked towards him. Thump thump. I want the taste of his flesh in my mouth.

"Ilena, there are some things we need to talk about and I need you to calm down before we can do that." Charles said but I was barely paying attention, I had reached him, he was sitting on the side of the bed with only the sheet covering him and I could tell he was enjoying the new me. Thump thump, I pulled it off of him and straddled his lap, sitting up slightly and then pushing myself onto his hardened shaft, burying it deep in between my slick walls, the head of him pressing against the sweetest of spots. Thump thump, I moaned and ground against him. “Ilena....we have too...oh fuck..." Charles tried to say but couldn't. "Damn." He ripped the robe off of me and wrapped his arms around my waist. Pulling me hard to him, I moaned and dug my nails into his back. God, everything felt so intense, he pulled me to him again. Thump thump.

I licked my lips and looked down to see the vein in the side of his neck pulsing, calling me, I lowered my mouth to it and kissed it as we started grinding against each other, I opened my mouth and bite down hard and his warm thick delicious blood poured into my mouth, I pulled deeply taking in his very essence. Making him moan loudly and become more deliberate in his movements. Pushing himself deeper, slowly stroking in and out as my nails dug into his neck and shoulder as the pressure built higher and higher.

"Ilena...stop." Charles said weakly, but still kept strong in his movements, slowly I pulled my mouth away from his neck and licked the open wounds there.  Swiftly flipping us over onto my back, he pinned my arms above my head with one hand and lifted my hips with the other arm, lining us up perfectly, he slammed into me hard and fast, again and again, I was moaning loudly as the pressure built higher and higher until I felt like I was going to explode and then I did, I screamed, coming as his seed spilled against my walls. He rolled, laying down beside me as he breathed heavily, "What was I talking about...before…" he asked panting.

"You were going to explain things while I lay here basking in the afterglow until I freak out, I think you've got about five minutes." I said calmly and turned over as I cuddled into a pillow and looked at him curiously.

Charles sighed deeply, "I'm a vampire and last night I turned you into one too..." I took a deep breath and refrained from freaking out, what good would it do anyway.

"So the pain in my stomach earlier was..." I asked.

"The need for blood, it's what sustains us, we live off of the lives of others and before you ask, no we are not dead, we are a bridge between the living and dead. We feed on the living so we don't become the dead, but we don't kill to feed." He explained.

"So those people last night, their donation...was blood?" I ask calmly.

"Exactly, they donate blood and we feed them a hot meal and pay them well for their time, as long as they follow our guidelines, no drugs, overuse of alcohol or sexually transmitted diseases. Not that they would do anything to us but I think Kent likes to think he's doing his part for humanity. Which is a lot more than most vampires or even most humans can say." Charles explained further.

"So the paperwork you had for them wasn't their resumes, it was there medical records or exams?" I asked, finding interest in the insanity of this conversation.

"Yes, both if they are new to the program." He said.

"Ok...what happened to me in the shower was what?" I asked a little irritated.

"Your body was ridding itself of anything, unneeded or unhealthy. It made you the most perfect you that you ever could or would be." He stated.

"And who says I wasn't perfect before?" I asked still sounding irritated, but I couldn't help but be turned on, he was laying on the bed next to me, light sweat gleamed against his chiseled abs. And lower into the curve of his pelvis, which nestled his heaving manhood ready and willing once again.

"I think your perfect every way but...Ilena you have got to stop looking at me like that, Kent's going to kill me as it is." He said, but I could see him appraising me even as he said it.

"Why would Kent care?" I asked as I moved closer to him and lightly kissed his chest.

He moaned softly, "Because I know he likes you." He said softly.

"And what? That makes me his or something?" I asked kissing further.

"No...Our kind only gets one mate in our entire lives which for some can be thousands of years, everything else is just for fun." He said as one of his hands wandered down the side of my hip and up to cup the side of my breast.

"So he’s the boss and gets to choose who he has fun with, before anyone else can..." I say as he tilts my head back and kisses my neck.

"Well...we all have our gifts, his happen to be age and vast wealth, so he makes the rules, but some have other kinds of gifts. For instance, you should not be able to drink from another vampire and yet we do and we're perfectly fine. Others turn into something else, we feed off of the life in us but when a vampire is not called to the blood of another vampire and takes it anyway, they feed off of the death in us, they break the bridge between life and death. Turning them into a monster of sorts, they lose all humanity and destroy everything and everyone in their path. We call them Grievers." He paused, even though the possibility of his words were terrifying, I was still horny, more than I had ever been before. I bit his n****e and a light trickle of blood flowed from it, I licked it slowly back to its source.

"Can you explain why I’m so horny?" I asked seductively, sliding my left hand over the abs of his lower stomach.

"I’m guessing you were sexually deprived or unsatisfied before and now your body is strong enough to get what it wants without needing assistance, though you will get it. Hence, you are going to be sexually amped up for a while, I think so anyway." He said huskily and then kissed me, gently caressing his lips over mine, his tongue sensually dancing with mine as his hands roamed my body. I heard his phone ring from across the room and sighed deeply as I plopped back onto the bed and his head drooped.

"Sorry, I’ve got to get that. It’s probably the boss." He said sliding off of the bed and walking over to the bar and reaching over it to grab his phone. "Yes, Sir." He said into the phone and looked back at me with a finger over his lips and winked. I was surprised to find that I could hear both sides of the conversation, especially since Kent didn't know that anyone was listening.

"Is it done?" Masters asked sternly.

"Yes it is Sir, the results turned out very nicely. I believe you will be pleased with what we have created here." He said smiling but he sounded all business.

"Good, are we prepared for tonight?" He asked sounding slightly less stern but I could still hear a bit of it.

"Yes, Sir, tied up the last bit of it a couple hours ago. We are very well prepared as per usual, shall I invite our new family member?" Charles said as he prepared some drinks behind the bar.

"That depends on her, how is she taking it?" Kent asked, actually sounding like he cared for a moment.

"She is still taking it all in, seems to be taking it all very well so far. I don't think it would become a problem if she were to come as well." Charles said as he walked across the room and handed me a tumbler filled with ice and bourbon.

"Alright, bring her. She should have been provided with anything she will need for the event already. How much longer are you going to be there?" Kent asked and it was almost as if I could hear him fidgeting with things on his desk.

"Could be while, she has a lot of questions, as she should. Smart girl, this one, thinking of all the angles, it took her all of two seconds to realize what she walked into last night. I believe she will become a great asset to your daily work." Charles said smiling down at me and took a sip from his cup.

"Good, I'll expect you tonight at eight sharp don't be late." Kent said and hung up the phone. Charles threw his phone on the bed and smiled down at me.

"Now where were we? Ah yes, I was saying we shouldn't and you were making an argument that we should." He said smiling wickedly down at me, I could see his sharp white fangs, slowly grow out of his mouth. I knew I shouldn't like it but just the idea of being bitten by him again had heat pooling between my legs.

"And...Did I make a good case?" I asked licking my lips, slowly he took our drinks and placed them on the floor, he pushed me back onto the bed and crawled over my naked body until his lips reached my breast. He smiled up at me wickedly.

In a husky voice he said "Yes." And then bit down into the soft flesh of it, sending me soaring once again.
