All Of The Dead (a necromancer story)

Chapter 17: Claimed

Esmeralda

When we got to work, Dana was on Lucan straight away. “Where have you been?”

He shrugged and said, “I got bit by a werewolf and turned, I had to go to Clayton for help with the change.”

“What! You’re a f.ucking werewolf!”

“It’s not that bad.”

“Not that bad! Dude, you’re a f.ucking werewolf now! What the f***k!” She grabbed a folder and started fanning herself like she was trying not to faint at the news, I tried not to laugh, but it was hard.

Lucan rolled his eyes and walked into his office.

“Hey! Where are you going?” She chased after him and I followed.

I was worried about them two, they had been so close, best friends, but lately, it felt like Lucan could barely tolerate her, I didn’t like what they’d done, but I didn’t want to ruin their friendship either, they’d been close way before I came along.

I don’t know what it was, but since he had become a werewolf, something seemed different about him and how he was towards me, he was softer, it was hard to explain because he was always so soft and gentlemanly towards me, but there was a tenderness there now. I thought werewolves were tough, scary wereanimals but maybe they were soft and gentle with their mate, or maybe it was just Lucan because other than being more tender and sweet and a little rougher in bed, he was still just him.

Lucan looked up at Dana with a raised eyebrow and said, “what? I have work to do.”

It was said surprisingly cold and Dana looked hurt, without a word, she just turned and walked out.

“Lucan?” I asked softly when she was gone.

“Yeah babe?”

I tried to ignore the butterflies in my tummy with him calling me that and the darker part of me too, the part that liked he was being more cold and distant with Dana but soft and loving with me, usually it had been the other way around and when we were dating it had still felt like he had walls up between us that he didn’t with Dana, now for the first time it felt like he was putting me first. It was a selfish thought and I pushed it away.

“Why are you being cold to Dana?”

“I’m not, I do have work to do.”

“Lucan, you and her are supposed to be best friends, and you’re always usually playing and messing about with one another.”

Sighing, he pushed his chair away from the desk and patted his leg. “Come here darling.”

I went over shyly, and he pulled me on to his lap. Kissing my cheek he said, “I love you, I think I always have from the moment we first kissed I just didn’t want to admit it to myself, when you died was when I finally realised just how deeply I loved you and I should have told you the second you were back. Me and Dana f****d up big time, I felt physically sick right after it happened and now, while I do still care about her, she’s not my first priority, you are, you should have been the whole time, but I was a selfish d.ick, and I’m sorry for that, all the flirting and stupid s.hit I did with her was so f.ucking disrespectful I’m surprised you stuck around.”

“I love you too Lucan and I love hearing you say it to me, but you are being a little mean to her, you’re not even talking to her like a friend you’re talking to her like you can’t stand her.”

“Maybe I still haven’t forgiven either of us yet, but even if I do, it won’t be like before, I shouldn’t be playfully flirting or letting her sit on my lap or any other flirty s.hit, and she can be a little full on so until she understands she can’t do that any more I’m going to stay cold for a while.”

“I understand, I just don’t want you not getting along because of me.”

“That’s not why babe, it’s nothing to do with you and everything to do with me and her and what we did, I’ll never forgive myself for that, and I don’t know if I can forgive her either, I’ll always love her as a friend, but I just can’t stand being around her right now.”

“You looked like you had made up though, I saw you a while ago throwing a cup at her playfully or something before you opened up for work.”

He shrugged, “I thought I had, but I haven’t and being a werewolf makes my feelings a hundred times more intense, I can’t ignore it anymore.”

I nodded silently, and he said, “I thought you’d prefer this, me being all over you and less her.”

I felt my cheeks grow hot and mumbled, “I do, it feels nice having you more to myself, but—”

“Ssh, but nothing, you have nothing to feel guilty about at all, whatever happens between me and Dana is between us and because of us and nothing to do with you.”

I was going to say something else, but he shut me up with a kiss that left me breathless. “You hungry?” He asked huskily.

Giggling, I answered, “why, you want me to feed on you?”

“I wouldn’t say no,” he grinned.

I laughed and said, “ok, although this is new, a werewolf and a vampire dating? No, actually, a werewolf necromancer dating a vampire!”

I couldn’t stop laughing at the thought, and Lucan smiled at me tenderly like he was happy to see me so happy. “Come here,” he murmured, kissing me softly and then moving my head and pressing my lips against his neck.

“No pleasure venom?” I asked.

“Nope.”

I bit his neck and fed, I was getting better, and it had only happened once before, but it felt so good, and he tasted so good, even better now with the werewolf blood in him, I swear I could taste the moonlight, and I came hard just from the taste alone. “Mm, that’s it baby, come for me,” he groaned.

I felt him reach down to unbuckle his belt and pull his thick hard erection out of his jeans, I was wearing leggings and not wanting me to stop feeding, he literally tore a hole in the crotch and shoved himself inside of me, I was too turned on and lost in pleasure for it to hurt, I’d also grown used to his big size and having s**x in general, so it felt good.

Clearly the pleasure he got from pain and his new wolf urges were a bit much, and he lost control for a moment. He picked me up and slammed me down on his desk mounting me hard and fast, he pushed me down on the desk, so I was laying flat on it with my bottom half on the edge and pinning my wrists above my head he pounded me even harder, it felt really good actually, I liked his dominance and the feel of him being all over me.

He was still standing, and after a while he let go of my wrists and leaned his hands on the desk either side of my waist and tilted his head back with his eyes closed. “f***k, your p*****. feels so good,” he moaned.

Yep, he definitely wasn’t in complete control because when he looked down at me his eyes had bled to that piercing violet with flecks of ice blue and gold running through, his wolf’s eye color.

“Come on baby, give it to me,” he groaned, still mounting me hard and fast. I tried to help by moving my hips against his, and then he stopped moving, letting me move against him on my own. “That’s it babe, give it to me harder, I want you coming on my c.ock.”

I did as he asked for a while, and then he was back to pounding me roughly, he got so rough it kind of hurt and I asked, “Lucan, slow down a little.”

“I’m almost there, just let me come first,” he growled.

“Lucan!” I said more firmly.

I watched as he stopped moving and took a minute to calm down and regain control, when he looked back at me his eyes were back to his ice blue eyes with a ring of violet and flecks of gold running through. “I’m so sorry, do you want me to stop?”

“No, just not so rough, normal rough is good, but I think that was werewolf rough just then.”

“Sorry,” he gently leaned down and kissed me on the lips and moved inside of me slowly, making love to me now.

He kissed his way down my neck and I moaned, “maybe you can bite me and claim me as your mate?” I asked shyly, I knew that’s what werewolves did with their true mate and it bonded them for life.

“Are you sure?” He murmured.

“Yes, I want to be yours always.”

He pulled back from my neck to smile at me and said, “good because I will chase you to the ends of the earth if you ever try leaving me again.”

I smiled happily at that, and then it was my turn to moan in pleasure when he leaned down and bit my neck, it was sharp enough I knew it was his wolf fangs, and I was surprised at how pleasurable it was. He bit and sucked my neck for a while, and then he gently kissed it and whispered, “you’re mine now, always.”

I could hardly believe it was true, it felt like a dream and If it was I prayed I would never wake.

One minute he was making love to me and the next I felt the bond come alive between us, the mate bond and if I thought I’d loved him before, it was nothing compared to how deeply I felt it now, I knew without a shadow of a doubt I’d die for him, I would never lie with another man or want another man, he was my everything and through the bond I felt I was his everything too, and it was beautiful, enough that I cried tears when I felt it link with our other bond, the bond that made me his enchante morte, somehow they linked together, and those feelings became even stronger too, it was amazing, and then I was screaming in ecstasy as I came harder than I ever had in my life, over and over and over again until I felt his release inside of me and he pulled out.

I was lying there panting and laughing breathlessly when Lucan backed away and stared at me. I sat up, worried, was it all too much for him now? I knew he usually shut down when feelings got too deep.

“What’s wrong?” I asked nervously.

He blinked and then sort of broke from his trance-fixed stare and said, “uh nothing’s wrong, you are f.ucking beautiful Esmeralda, you already were but f.uck.”

Frowning, I got up and looked at the mirror he had on the wall. My vampire look was back, I hadn’t felt it like I had last time, but it was back, my midnight black skin had that beautiful flawlessness again with the shimmery skin that looked like someone had blown a thousand stars across my skin.

The high cheek bones were back, the thick perfect curls that never seemed to get frizzy, and best of all to me was I was slim again too. “Woah, I didn’t even feel any of it,” I grinned, turning back to face Lucan who was still staring at me.
