I don’t know when I had moved or how it happened, all I know is that I was still hugging his arm and then my leg was over his, and I had started very gently rubbing my groin against his leg, I didn’t even realise until he quietly said, “Rochelle, are you struggling with the heat right now?”
I could barely nod, I felt so hot and dizzy, I felt close to passing out, and he looked down at me, he pressed a hand to my forehead and murmured, “you are really burning up, Rochelle?” He shook me, but I could only manage a, “hmm?”
“You are losing consciousness, that shouldn’t be happening.”
I didn’t respond, and he carried me to my bed and gently lay me down. He kept his clothes on but got on top of me and softly stroked my hair out of my face. “You are my pet, and it is my job to take care of you, but I will not touch you without your permission. Do I have permission to be intimate with you?”
I nodded, Pfft, as if I’d say no. He didn’t kiss me, he didn’t even take any clothes off, nor did he seem to enjoy any of it, he stayed completely professional and slowly started to grind his lower half against mine, it felt so good, but I needed more and asked, “can you not get, you know, hard for me?”
“I can make it hard, yes.”
“Make it?” Pfft, good to know I couldn’t turn him on naturally.
“I have control over my…body, I can make the blood flow there and stay there if needed.”
“That’s so weird,” I said weakly.
He smiled softly, “I know, now please use me to relieve yourself of your discomfort.”
He lay on top of me not too heavily and let me grind and rub myself against his hard erection through his clothes, it felt so incredible, the pleasure was almost otherworldly and almost too intense to handle, and I felt myself growing close and couldn’t stop myself from moaning softly. “That’s it, my little pet, come for me,” he whispered.
His words alone were enough to send me into pure ecstasy, I came so hard I cried out and gripped his shirt, when the pleasure took me so much I couldn’t move as frantically as I wanted, he helped me by placing his hand on the back of my thigh, pulling me in against him and making me move back and forth on him, “that’s it Rochelle, that’s it don’t stop.”
When I was finished and panting, he murmured, “good girl,” and then he climbed off me.
“Do you feel better?” He asked.
“Yes, thank you, though it would have been more enjoyable if you responded and enjoyed yourself too.”
He gave a small smile and said, “you are not like the women I date, I know you are romantic and love means a lot to you, I will not play with your emotions or lead you to false hope that there will ever be anything between us, the most I can offer is to take care of you as my pet and help you where it is needed, but that’s all I can offer you.”
My heart sank, but I didn’t get to dwell on it for long because I realised I’d made a mess of my own, I blushed so hard and tried to hide the blood stain on my bed, which was stupid because he was a vampire, and would be able to damn well smell it.
He gently grabbed my wrist to stop me and said, “it’s ok, it is natural, let’s get you cleaned up and then I will sort the sheets out.”
This was one of the most embarrassing things that could happen to me as a woman, but he was nothing but a gentleman about it and so kind.
He took my hand and helped off the bed, and still holding my hand lightly, he led me to the bathroom. He ran the bath for me and added bubbles and when it was ready, he turned it off, laid a towel out for me and a bathrobe with clean underwear and said, “you relax, I will clean up and check on you afterwards.”
“You can’t see me naked!” I blushed.
He gently shook his head, smiling and said, “no, I simply meant I shall knock on the door and check you are still alive and safe.”
Oh, sometimes I forgot he was only here as my bodyguard. I got undressed and climbed into the bathtub and slid down into the warmth. It felt so good, I lay there relaxing when it dawned on me what I had done with Amdis, had I really humped him like some animal? How embarrassing! And yet, I couldn’t ignore the butterflies in my tummy at the thought either, he may have stayed professional about it, and we may not have removed any clothes, but we had still been intimate together, or perhaps it was just me, seeing as he hadn’t enjoyed any of it or allowed himself to feel anything but still, he had let me find pleasure with his body.
I loved having him stay with me, and I worried about when his job of guarding me was over, would he just disappear and be done with me? Or would he keep his word about taking care of me as his pet? I just didn’t know, and it scared me, especially as I knew he hated having a pet, I’d left him with no other real choice, if he hadn’t broken the bond it wouldn’t matter where I ran or hid, Zedric would always have been able to find me.
True to his word, Amdis knocked the door and called through, “are you ok?”
“Yep!” I called back.
“I shall wait for you in the living area.”
Right, we had been watching movies! I quickly washed myself and my hair and then jumped out, dried myself and pulled on my clean underwear using a pad, I could not for the life of me get on with tampons, they just hurt and felt uncomfortable.
I pulled my robe on, but before I could leave I had to use the cream I had for my curls, or they would turn into an awful frizzy mess. I applied some on my hands and ran my fingers through my hair, I looked in the mirror and smiled, I liked my hair, I liked that it had golden brown and honey gold tones running through it, it was pretty, and I wasn’t sure who in the family I got it from because both my parents had been black with black hair too, mum had the curls, but she didn’t have the light blonde tones running through.
I went back out and joined Amdis who was sitting on the sofa, and we carried on watching the movies. When it was late, we turned them off, and I asked Amdis, “do you have any spooky stories to tell me?”
He looked down at me and replied, “because I am a vampire, I must have spooky stories to share?”
I rose an eyebrow, and he sighed, “I have many, so many I wouldn’t know where to start.”
“Hmm, share a spooky time with a client.”
“Well there was one time I was guarding a client, and she kept getting attacked by zombies, they would randomly turn up at her house or wherever she was, she paid me to protect her, it took a while, but we figured out it was her ex boyfriend, he was a necromancer who just couldn’t accept that she didn’t want to be with him anymore.”
“That’s a little creepy but more depressing, what about your gifts? What was that thing you did when you made everything turn pitch black, it was like you created darkness in the room and somehow broke the werepanthers fingers without touching him.”
“My gift is a rarer one, vampires are technically dead, yet we also live, we constantly have one foot in the world of the living and the other in the world of the dead, we all have the ability to see spirits on the otherside, becoming a vampire makes the veil between the living and the dead paper thin.”
When I just stared at him fascinated but also a little confused, he explained, “imagine when you are in a shop with a big window, on the other side of the window you see people in the streets walking by right?”
I nodded, and he carried on, “it is like that, we can see them and sometimes hear them, but we cannot communicate with them, my gifts are rare in that I can step into that world in a metaphysical sense and communicate with them, I can ask for their help and have them assist me, I can also create my own darkness and shadows, the spirits within that darkness were the ones to break his fingers.”
“Ok, now that is terrifying!”
“Yes, vampires who know me and my gifts tend to stay out of my way.”
“What other gifts do you have?”
He grew a little uncomfortable and then unreadable. “All vampires have their own charms, mine lean towards the more…seductive and lustful side of things.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means I find it easier to seduce humans, even some supernaturals, I can provide extreme pleasure and enhance someone’s orgasm and make it last for as long as they want, a lot of vampires not only need blood to survive but also energy, some need someone’s pain, or happiness, for me, I need their pleasure, I feed on their s****l energy, again, it is rare, but I can feed on more than one type of energy, I can also feed on pain and misery, but I prefer not to do that if it causes harm or discomfort to someone.”
“Is that why you sleep with the people you feed on? You need both the blood and the s****l energy?”
“I don’t need it at the same time, but yes, it’s easier to just feed on what I need all at once, and I like s.ex.”
I think my jaw dropped, and I asked, “you like it? You’re so robotic and cold, it’s hard to imagine that.”
“I don’t believe I was cold or robotic the night you were caught spying on me.”
“That’s true,” I mumbled and sat back against the sofa. He looked at me and I swear I could see the hint of a smile on his lips, which was even more humiliating, that meant he knew I was jealous of those women.
I was debating on how I could make him not think that when someone ripped open our hotel door. For a second I thought it was Francesca, all I saw was that they had fangs and were female, and then my knees grew so weak I actually collapsed to the floor from pure terror. All three of those female vampires that had forced themselves on me were here, now and smirking at me.
I scuttled backwards until my back hit the kitchen island. Amdis didn’t have time to comfort me, but the rage in his eyes when he looked at me let me know he knew they were the ones who hurt me. He stood in front of me protectively and said, “you’ll have to get through me first, ladies.”
