Mixed Worlds

Chapter Twenty Eight - Invasion of Privacy

    “Mind if I join you?”  His smooth, deep voice makes my knees weak. He takes my clothes out of my hands and smiles. “Y’know, saving water.” He chuckles.

    I blush and smile back. “Oh, um… yeah, that’s okay.” I hook my arm through his, and we walk down the empty hallway towards the bathroom. Just as we reach it, the door opens and Jack is standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair is still a little wet, and he brushes it back with his fingers. “Jack,” I say with a nervous voice. Guilt creeps up as I think back to us taking a bath together. I clear my throat and shake my head. “Sorry I didn’t know there was someone in the bathroom.” He looks at me with sad eyes, and then looks up at Alex and clears his throat. 

    “No worries. I was done anyways.” He brushes past me, and I look back at him as he sulks down the hall and walks into his room.

    “I feel bad. Is that weird?” We walk into the bathroom and I lock the door behind me. 

    “Maybe a little. You guys do have a lot of history, and out of nowhere I showed up. I can only imagine how complicated that was for you.” He sets my clothes down on the countertop, and leans back against it with his arms slightly behind him resting on the counter. Goddess help me, I want to run my tongue all the way down to… “Do you miss him?” He asks, changing the course of my thoughts. 

    “I miss the old Jack, my best friend. Back before things got crazy.” I walk over to him and place myself between his legs. “But, I wouldn’t change anything because then you might not be here. A part of me feels dirty, because before you got here my life was with Jack. The moment I was sober and really saw you, all of that changed.” I set a hand on his cheek, and get up on my tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. “You have nothing to worry about.” Alex gives a small smile, and gives me a hug. 

    “Good, because I don’t like to share what’s mine.” He grabs my ass, and then sets me aside so he can turn on the shower. I see him start to take off his shorts, so I turn around and take off my sports bra. I look over my shoulder and see that Alex is taking off his boxers, and he steps into the shower. I’m thankful that the glass is frosted, so I can strip in some sort of privacy. I quickly wiggle off my underwear, and I slip into the shower behind him.

    I set my hands on his back, and trace his muscles and slowly turn him around. I nervously cover my chest, and he switches us around so my back is facing the shower. He pushes my hair out of my face and leans my head back to wet my hair. He takes my sponge off of the little corner shelf, and lathers it up with my floral body wash. He gently pulls my arms away from my chest, never breaking eye contact. He rests a hand on my hip and starts at my shoulders. He goes up and down my right arm, and trails it back up my side. He switches hands, and continues on my left.  He comes up to my neck, and soaps that up too. Slowly and gently he begins to wash and massage my breasts. I moan, and I feel my arousal building up between my legs.  He kisses me, never letting the sponge leave my body. He works his way down to my stomach, and then turns me around to wash my back. Again, another wonderful, soapy massage comes along as he scrubs me clean. He gets down on his knees, and pays close attention to my tender glutes.

    “What are you doing?” I turn back and look at him. 

    “Isn’t it obvious? It’s a full body massage. Now turn back around.” I’m giddy from his command, and follow his orders.  He pushes on my back a bit, so I lean forward and place my hands on the wall and let the water fall down my back. He adds more soap to the sponge and starts washing the tops of my feet. He continues up my legs and starts scrubbing my thighs. I stifle another moan, and he spreads my legs. I quiver as the sponge moves to my inner thigh, and brushes up against the lips of my soft spot. I moan again. “You smell good. And I’m not talking about the body wash.” He finishes with the sponge so he rinses it out and sets it behind him. He uses his hands to guide the water over my body and rinses all of the soap off.  He stays down on his knees, and I gasp when I feel his lips on my freshly cleaned cheek. “I bet you taste even better. May I?” 

    “Yes.” I breathlessly respond. Who knew a sponge and soap could be so intimate. I’m thankful there’s a seat in the shower, which was perfect for when I wanted to shave or put the jet setting on the shower head to good use. He turns us around and sits me down on the bench. He looks me up and down, and growls. 

    “I am going to worship every, single, inch of your body.” I giggle as I feel my wetness flow from inside of me. I swear this man could talk me right into an orgasm. He opens my legs, and he now has a full view of my plump pink p***y. He scoots himself closer, and begins to kiss my thighs. He doesn’t tease me, and slides my lips wide open as he takes his tongue up and down my wetness. He laps up my juices, and stops to look up at me. “Yep, delicious.”  He pulls me closer to the edge of the seat and dives right in. I sit forward and moan and he plays with my c**t. With one arm bracing myself behind me, the other gets lost in his slick wet hair as he goes to town on my sweet spot. I moan again as he sucks on my c**t, and flicks it with his tongue. 

    “Oh f**k, Alex. That feels so good.” I say out of breath. “So, so good.” As I say that, he slides his thumb inside of me, and his finger plays with the outside of my butthole. He presses lightly against it, and I shake at his touch. He takes his thumb out and slides two fingers into my p***y and he finger f***s me and plays with my c**t, making my legs shake. “Fuck.” I moan. His free hand reaches up and he pinches my n****e. “Oh my god, Alex!”  He picks up his pace, and aggressively flicks my c**t with his tongue and f***s me harder. I let out a cry of pleasure as my orgasm crashes through me, and Alex continues to torture my c**t. “Alex, stop!” I try to push his head back so I can breathe again, and he grabs my hips and somehow pulls his face deeper into my sweet spot. My legs are uncontrollably shaking, and I scream out in painful pleasure. 

    He pulls back and wipes his face of my honey. “I’ll decide when I’m done eating.” He gets up and kisses me hard, grabbing my hair and pulls my head back. 

    I nod as I look down at his fully erect member in front of my face, and I slowly wrap a hand around it and begin to stroke him. He lets out a moan and grabs a fist full of hair as I place my mouth over his head. I begin to suck his full length, and when he reaches the back of my throat, I gag a little.

    “Fuck.” He moans. I keep sucking, and use my hand to stroke the bottom of his d**k. I pick up my pace, and Alex slowly starts pushing his hips and follows my rhythm. I keep my lips closed around him and let my hands fall to his thighs. He f***s my face as he lets out a loud moan and empties his load in my mouth. He tries to pull out but I keep sucking as I milk him dry. I swallow, and slowly pull off of him. “That was amazing.” He lifts my chin and looks at my happy face.

    “Really? That was my first time doing that.” His mouth drops and his expression darkens with lust. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him as he sits down onto the bench with me on top of him. I can feel he’s still hard, and I grind up against him as we kiss. We break apart and look at each other.

    “Mine.” We both say. A huge smile breaks out across his face, and he kisses me again. He shifts his hips, and slides right into me. I hold tight around his neck, and he thrusts in and out of me and we look into each other’s eyes. There’s a light glowing on the back of his neck, and I see a rune begin to form on his chest. I don’t know what’s happening, but right now I don’t care. 

    He thrusts harder, and A few moments later He sinks his teeth into my neck. I’m filled with ecstasy as he begins to drink from me. I can feel his emotions. The obvious pleasure, the happiness, and the admiration. I feel the need for us to protect one another, and the ache at the thought of losing him. He licks his bite closed, and I stay seated on top of him with his full length still inside of me. He licks his lips of my blood and we both sit and stare in awe of what just happened.

    We both look at each other, and I realize that he has a big dark red rune over his heart. I reach over and trace the intricate swirls that create the Greek Rune of eternal love. He looks down, and holds my hand over his chest.

    “We’re marked.” He whispers. We both  smile and share a deep kiss. He sets his hand on my neck, and smiles again. “You have the same one as me. We match.” He traces my mark with his thumb, and I shut the water off and wrap a towel around me as I step out of the shower. I stand in awe as I look in the mirror and see that it’s huge. It starts at my collarbone, and it ends at the top of my shoulder, with his faint bite mark in behind it. I place my hand over the mark, and look back at Alex who has just secured a towel around his waist. I check him out, and I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him.

    “We’re marked!” I squeal as I kiss him. He places his hands on my back, and holds me close in our embrace. I pull back and have the biggest smile on my face. “ I don’t know how to describe it, but I feel… lighter, and heavier at the same time.” He closes his eyes, and touches his forehead to mine.

     “We’re linked in every way we can be.” I hear his voice, but he doesn’t move his mouth.

      “Woah! What was that?!” I ask. 

       “It’s called a mindlink. As long as the other is listening, we can speak to each other without anyone else hearing us. Werewolves have it too, except they can link almost everyone in their pack. The Alpha and Luna can link multiple people at once. Vampires can only do it with their mate. I don’t know how it works for Gods though.” He pushes my hair back and rests his hand at the back of my neck. “I didn’t know if it would work for me, because I’m only half vampire.”

        “That’s… wow.” I’m at a loss for words, and realize I have so much to learn about my new mate, and all the weird things that come with it. “This is… it’s amazing. It’s like I can see into your mind.” I close my eyes and rest my hands over his temples. Without even trying, I’m thrown into a flashback from his perspective on the night we met. He felt our mate connection right when he first met me. I felt the shock he had when he brushed his hand across my back. I see the look of concern and sadness when he sees me knock him out in the back of my truck. I feel the happiness and sense of relief when he wakes up and sees me sitting in front of him.  I feel the arousal of what should have been our first kiss.

     I feel his agony when he realizes that his mother is dead. I feel all of the pain that his father put him through. Then the calm that washes over him when I helped him sleep. The rollercoaster of emotions hits me like a hurricane, and when I open my eyes I see he is crying along with me.  “I’m so sorry.” He says.

    “For what?” He shouldn’t apologize for something he didn’t do.

    “For your family. I saw and felt all the pain and anger from losing them, and your thirst for revenge all these years. I’ve felt everything you’ve ever been through.” He kisses my cheek. “This is gonna take some getting used to.” 

     “I agree with you on that part. Even sirens can’t break through to me.” I laugh. We pull away, and I begin to get dressed. I look over and see that Alex is holding his clothes in his hands, and he laughs.

      “So, since you guys kidnapped me, all of my clothes are probably in a motel dumpster. I need to do some serious restocking of clothes.” I laugh and facepalm myself. I hold my cheek and laugh with him. His face become serious and he shakes his head. “I also forgot that I totally ditched Noah. Guy probably thinks I’m dead.” He sets the clothes on the counter and slides on my shorts. “Any chance we can go into the city for a few hours? I’ve got to get some clothes and hope that my phone still works.” He gives his wet head a shake, and waits for me to finish getting dressed. 

      “Of course! I totally forgot about him too. Lucas said that he saw Noah run into the bathroom before he left. My guess is the Demon blood didn’t sit too well with him.” He unlocks the door, and as he opens it Anna jumps back from having her ear pressed against it. 

       “Uh, hey guys! Just waiting for the bathroom!” She tries to act normal, but it’s not working. “Cute outfit! You used to hate cropped tops.” She smiles.

       “Yeah, well that was when I was younger and lived a quiet life in the upper west city. Crop tops weren’t really my thing. Now, what were you really doing?” I put my hands on my hips and glare at her. “You couldn’t wait until later to invade my privacy?” 

       “Nope, you know me! Haven’t changed a bit.” She winks. She slides past Alex and I, and then stops. “I would hide your marks by the way, Jack is waiting for you outside your door, and he doesn’t look so good.” My gut drops and I look up at Alex. I run back into the bathroom and grab a dirty sweater from the hamper.  I throw it on over my head and Alex throws his shirt back on. I take Alex with me to my room and just as Anna said, Jack is leaning against the wall next to my door and he looks awful. I move myself to stand in front of Alex, and approach Jack with caution.

      “Hey Jack, what’s up?” I’m careful with my tone, as I can’t tell if he’s sick or angry. He walks over to me, and pulls the collar of my sweater back jerking me towards him, and I swat him away as Alex puts me behind him.

       “Don’t you touch her!” Alex booms. His voice holds dominance, and he towers over Jack by at least three inches. “Who do you think you are?” I can feel Alex’s anger, so I take his hand and squeeze. I think calm, soothing thoughts and slowly he begins to stop shaking.

       “Easy. We don’t know what he’s thinking.” I push my thoughts to Alex, hoping I reach him with our link. 

        “I smelled blood. I smelled her blood. Then I felt like I was going to be sick.” I can see Jack’s hands turn into fists. “Now I know why.” I try to move myself between the two of them, but Alex holds me in place.

         “Do you smell that?” I hear him through our mindlink. I take a quick sniff, and a shiver runs up my spine.

          “Demon blood. How did I not notice it?”

          “I don’t know. I don’t know how I missed it either. Please stay behind me, I don’t want you getting hurt.”

          “I might be the only one who can get through to him.” I give his hand a squeeze, and force myself in front of Alex. I hold up a peaceful hand, and look at Jack. “Jack, what’s going on?”

          “I felt it. I felt like a part of me was getting ripped away. You may have rejected me, or whatever, but I never accepted it. That means I must have still had some type of connection to you.” He takes a step towards me and I take one back, pushing Alex back too. Now my arm is fully extended and my hand is pressed against his chest.

          “But we were never mated? We didn’t mark each other.”  I look back at Alex, who is just as confused as I am. 

          “Maybe not like most people do, but I did take your virginity. You remember I wasn’t all human when that happened. I’ve never been fully human since the day I was born! That has to mean something!” He raises his voice, and I hear Alex growl behind me. “You were mine first, and I’ll never accept your rejection.”

          “You don’t have to.” I hear Anna yell. She walks up beside me, and pushes Jack back. “The moment Ally rejected you, her heart began to fall for Alex.” She puts her finger on his chest, and continues. “YOU, don’t get to claim her as your property, whether you were in her life first or not. If you hadn’t used again in the first place, you might not be in this position. She’s not yours, and never will be.” She’s out of breath, and removes her hand from him and takes a step back. 

          “Alex and I are mated, Jack.” All of a sudden he looks as if he has been beaten to a pulp, and he shakes his head. Anna holds her ground, and doesn’t take her eyes off of him. “Anna, it’s okay. He won’t hurt me.” I set a hand on her shoulder, and I try to signal her to go grab Lucas. ‘Go find him’ I think over, and over. She looks back at me, and nods. She walks right past Jack, and turns a corner.  I’ll have to talk to her about that later.

          “Jack, you need to leave.” Alex says softly. “There’s a lot going on that none of us really understand, so we should all take a break, and I give you my word we will talk about this once everyone has calmed down.” I admire how kind he is being, even when he has the right to be angry. Just then, Anna returns with Lucas in tow.

          “Hey guys, what’s goin’ on? Anna just told me to follow her and here we are.” He trots up and puts his hands in his jacket and is acting completely normal. 

          “Is he always this oblivious?” I hear Alex think. I sigh in response. 

          “Alex and Ally marked each other. They’re mated.” Anna says.

          “Oh no way, congrats guys!” Lucas says. Then he looks over at Jack and his mouth pops open. “Ooooh. Now I know why I’m here.” Anna and I roll our eyes, and she elbows him in the side. Lucas throws her a pout, and clears his throat. “Okay Jack, let’s go for a drive or something.” I remember the Demon blood, and I shake my head.

          “No. He needs to be chained. I can smell the blood in him.”  Lucas’ face becomes angry, and Jack crosses his arms over his chest.

          “Yeah right, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Just go and find another monster to f**k and get the f**k out of here.” I wince at his harsh words, and swallow hard. I take a step towards him and he doesn’t move. He just stares at me with all the anger he can muster. My heart starts to race, and suddenly I’m scared. I swallow my fear and grab his arm, and focus on the blood. 

    “You need to stop this Jack, you’re doing nothing but hurting yourself and the people who care about you.” I tighten my grip. His face contorts as he sees my hand glow and realizes what’s going on. A small drop of blood is removed from him as he snatches his arm away. The little drop floats an inch above my palm, and I hold it for everyone to see. I close my hand into a fist, and it vanishes. “And there’s more where that came from.”

      In the next moment, Lucas has slammed into Jack and knocks him to the ground. “You liar! How can you keep doing this? Not just to yourself but to everyone! To me!”  He punches Jack in the face, and Jack throws him off. Anna pulls Lucas back as Jack goes to swing just before his fist connects with Lucas’s face. He gives her a look, and then she’s flung around in front of Lucas and into the air and her shin connects with Jack’s temple. Lucas lets go of her arm and runs over to grab Jack, but misses as Jack tries to lunge for Alex. When he’s right in front of me, I smack my palm to his forehead.

      “STOP!” I yell. Jack drops to the floor, and passes out. Alex walks in front of me, and helps Lucas pick him up. Anna slips under his arm and takes his spot.

       “I got him, you get her.” She whispers. She seems to forget that I have heightened everything now. “And Alex, thank you.” He shakes his head and comes back over to me, and opens the door to my room.

       “What was that about?” I ask. “What was Anna thanking you for?” 

    “I really don’t know. I didn’t ask because her hands were full. Literally.” He plops down on the bed and lays back with his hands behind his head. “Are we ever going to catch a break?” I lay beside him on my stomach, and let out a deep sigh. I smush my face into my bed. I groan. “I’ll take that as an ‘I don’t know.’” He turns over and pulls me into his chest. “Did you want to talk about it?” I shake my head. “Will you talk to me about it later?” I nod. “Okay then. Go wash your face and let’s head to the city. Just a day for the two of us. How does that sound?” I pop one eye open, and give him a smile. I squeeze it shut again, and nod.

      “Five more minutes please. Then I’ll get ready.”  He hugs me tight and we lay there in silence.
