Feeders - Max and Axle

Chapter 4

As i enter the castle i spot a woman in a maids outfit cleaning the wooden stair rails "Hi do you know where my room is?" I ask as i approach her.

She looks around in shock as she leans in whispering "i'm not meant to speak while working, but looking at your neck i'd say in the masters room."

I frown at her eyes avoiding mine as she looks scared "Okay thank you" i head up the stairs looking around when i reach the top. There's no way i'm staying with that monster they must have a separate room for me somewhere. i'm only meant to feed him not sleep with him!

I huff out a breath as i head to the room Axle took me to, i struggle to open it with all these glorious bags in my hands.

Nearly stumbling through the door as it swung open with an annoyed giant staring at me. "What are you doing?" he grunts.

I stand up straight lifting my chin "Where is my room?" I ask sternly like i wasn't just about to fall flat on my face.

Axle crosses his arms and lifts one of his eyebrows "Here, you are my feeder so you stay with me!" He declares as he turns and walks back to his desk.

"I'm not sleeping with someone i don't know, i want my own room, or at least bed!" I quickly say as i follow him and place my bags on his desk on top of his files.

Axle lets out a deadly growl "You're testing me human! don't push it!" He says basically spitting while staring at my stuff.

I slowly pick my bags up realising I've crossed a line "fine but i'm not sleeping with you" he sighs leaning back on his chair while folding his arms.

"You will do as instructed! You will stay here, this is now your home until i am done with you then you're welcome to move on to another master!" He leans forward placing his hands on his desk "Anyway i'm a vampire i don't sleep at night so the bed's yours"

I just answer with a nod to this i***t! All males are the same they just want to own you! well Axle technically does but still... his an arse!

I go and dump my bags on the floor in the wardrobe and grab a nightie and some briefs before heading for a shower.

And oh my the bathroom is massive! There's a huge bathtub that could fit 3 people in! A big shower with frosted glass that has a towel rail in reach, there's also a beautiful crisp white counter with two cupboards underneath and a large mirror above.

I put my clothes on the counter and turn to the bath, then look at the shower.. I definitely need a soak so i head straight for the bath turning the taps on, i check the bottles on the side and pick out shampoo and body wash, i sigh at the slim choices. i'll have to find somewhere tomorrow to find some conditioner and more feminine smelling soap as these have no scent!

Once the tub is full i climb in letting the heat sink into my bones. i completely relax and just stare at the wall trying to process everything. it's not as bad as i thought, i can roam around freely and buy whatever i want.

I'm going to have to find something to do around here though before i die from boredom. There's only so many shops around here.

The smell of food gliding into the room starts my stomach rumbling breaking me out of my thoughts, i quickly scrub myself over and wash my hair before i get out to throw on my new nightie.

I open the door as the delicious smell fully attacks my nose. I step forward to see a table has been placed at the bottom of the bed with two seats.

On the table there's a jug of water with a glass, a plate of vegetables, potatoes and chicken. my mouth waters as i step forward looking around to see there's no sign of Axle, he must have left i shrug, finally some peace! I sat down and enjoyed the first decent meal I've had in days!

After I've completely cleared my plate i curl up in the massive bed with black soft silk sheets and let sleep take me quickly.

Axles Pov

Sitting at my desk while trying to Concentrate on my work seems impossible.

The nerve of that small female! She should be cowering around me like all the others - one pathetic human male even Urinated himself before me after i gave him one simple look!

But no, this female questions me! She stared straight into my eyes at the gate challenging me as i ordered her to stay!

The only time she had the slightest smell of fear to her was when that lying arsehole was being torn apart by my gate guards!

She's different... that's why she gets to wear my neckband.

Not one human has had the privilege but yet she dare stands there and asks me about going on the f*****g feeders list!!

I throw my glass at the wall at the thought.

Like i would have allowed another to feed from her. She's far too pure for any of my underlings!

I'm broken out of my angered thoughts by my maid rushing in to quietly clean up the glass before exiting the room.

I lean forward again grabbing some papers, trying to figure out how to bring in more humans. There still isn't enough to feed them all, if this continues i fear some will go rouge and start hunting in the villages again.

As feeders were once the answer to our food shortage now they are becoming their masters lovers wanting to be turned, more vampires means more blood which we are in short f*****g supply of!!

I snarl as i hear someone playing with my door handle, i storm over and fling it open.

There Max stands with her hands bursting with shopping bags. we argue for awhile over her sleeping arrangements - yes we argued, i could have simply ripped her throat out for daring to question me!

Hell if she was anyone else i would have without even giving it a thought, but i guess she's like a breath of fresh air around this stale castle.

After she submits to my order she heads in to the bathroom. I linked one of my underlings to bring human food to my dwelling as i didn't smell any in her bags.

unable to focus on my work i decide to step out for some fresh air to hopefully clear my head and come up with some much needed new ideas!

I return as the sun starts to rise with the first pangs of hunger making themselves known. Finding Max still asleep i head to the shower to find her ripped tattered dress on the floor along with what looks like string? This can't be what humans use for underwear? i study them curiously before throwing them into the bin with her dress.... now I'm f*****g cleaning up after her!!

I grunt and roll my eyes as i jump in the shower and quickly wash myself over. hearing Max stirring in the next room so i grab my towel with my stomach rumbling and head out to see if shes awake.

Max POV

I woke up with my ribs still aching, maybe i shouldn't have carried all those bags yesterday. I sat up with a yawn finding it hard to pull myself out of this luxurious bed, well that was until Axle came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel low on his waist.

His arms are strong, his shoulders wide and his chest and stomach are a washboard of pure muscle. Tattoos are scattered all over his arms and chest making me bite my lip, my eyes drop down to the towel barely hanging on "Like the view?!" he says in a low gravely tone.

I purse my lips and scrunch up my eye brows "No! cant you put on some clothes" Axle just gives a dark chuckle as i head for the bathroom.

I pee before i wash my hands, pausing to look at my blown pupils in the mirror "stop it max" i whisper to myself before throwing cold water on my face.

But god I've never seen a man like that. My cheeks redden at the thought. being 25 and a virgin isn't exactly common but since i was 15 i never wanted one near me.

I had a boyfriend for a short time when i was 20 but it just felt awkward and forced so i broke up with him. It turns out he just had a kink virgins.

Drying my face i make my way to the wardrobe to find my bags still on the floor, i pull some bits out and hang them up before picking an outfit for the day.

I throw on a pair of jeans and a plain black t shirt before walking back out to find Axle still in a towel.

"I'm gonna head out to find some breakfast" i say pointing to the door.

"Not yet, i'm hungry" he says turning to me.
