The Vampire Playboy - Blood and Lust

Chapter 37

Olivia's POV

"You don't have to do this, it's not too late to back out." Charles said, his eyes fixed onto mine.

"It is and I do, it's partly my fault that we're in this mess and Noah's been pushed to this."

I kept tugging at the sides of my dress, squirming in my seat as I hoped the material would somehow expand to cover more of my exposed thigh.

Charles looked down at what I was doing and put his hand on my right hand.

"Stop pulling at it, I know you're uncomfortable but you need to act like you wear this kind of dress regularly."

"that's easy for you to say, you're not the one dressed like a cheap hooker" I grumbled, this caused him to smile which he promptly corrected.

I'd never worn such a short or tight dress in my life, my makeup was completely over the top and my hair had been backcomnbed so much with so much hairspray I was convinced I'd catch fire if I went near an open flame. Charles on the other hand was wearing a navy suit with a crisp white shirt and holy hell he looked another level in it.

I took a deep breath and finally unclipped my seat belt. I didn't feel ready to do this, whatever it was but I owed it to Noah.

"When we get in there, I need you to act like you're really into me like you're compelled to….to do whatever I ask and need."

I sucked in a breath through my teeth.

"I…I don't know if I can do that." I was lying, acting like I was still into him wouldn't be hard, it would be the truth but doing it in public, well that part would be hard.

"I know you think I'm a dickhead, and it's asking a lot, I promise I will not let anything happen to you in there, but they don't let any human in who's not compelled and well it's not a normal club, it's probably what you would call seedy, lots more goes on here than just socialising. You might see some things in there that make you feel uncomfortable. Don't make eye contact with anyone and don't talk, if you do they'll know you're not compelled and we'll be in a whole heap of trouble. But I swear to you, I won't let anything happen to you and I won't let anyone touch you."

I swallowed hard. I had so many questions but I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answers. I closed my eyes and took a breath, trying to slow down my breathing as I did so.

"I might need a drink or two as soon as we get in there."

He nodded and opened the door. I climbed out trying to not fall over in these ridiculous heels. Charles came beside me and took my hand in his, causing liquid heat to engulf me. I wanted to pull away but knew that if I did, it would cement his doubts about me being able to do this and he would put me right back in the car. Without warning, he picked me up into his arms and the world blurred around me. He was doing that super speed thing that he had told me about and now I was experiencing it for myself, my stomach felt queasy as he put me back on my feet, tucking me behind his back whilst still holding onto my hand. We were in front of a plain black door, Charles knocked on the door and I wrapped my arms around his arm whilst burying my head into his back. These stupid heels were causing me to sway back and forth as the door opened. No words were exchanged but we swiftly moved inside, Charles wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me in tight to his side which also aided my precarious wobbling. I tilted my head forward letting my hair fall in front of my face. Stealing a peek through my hair I could see It was a dark corridor with low lighting and another black door at the end of it. Vibrations seemed to be coming through the floor and I was sure I could hear the thrum of music which was getting louder as we closed the door.

The blast of music hit me as the door opened. Loud dance music in a room filled with coloured lights and strobe lighting. There were people everywhere, drinking, dancing and doing things that I expected to see in a bedroom only or in a porn film. I stiffened and stifled a gasp. Charles pulled me in closer to him and lowered his head to mine, lining his mouth so perfectly with mine I thought he might kiss me.

"You need to relax, I know what you're seeing is….uncomfortable but you can't react" he whispered to me. I didn't react to that, I carried on letting him lead until we reached a circular booth. Charles slid in first and then pulled me alongside him, angling me into his side once more so I was half on the sofa and half off.

A waitress came promptly over, I used the foot on the floor to push myself up so that my head rested on his collarbone and before I could help myself I let out a nervous giggle. Charles grabbed my ass with one cheek pulling me into him, prompting me to dig my nails into his back. His back arched slightly but he said nothing. I felt my face flush with heat.

"Two tequilas" he barked before the waitress could say anything. Seconds later she was back. This was definitely a vampire place.

"Here, these are for you." He said softly as he pulled me right into his lap before spreading both of his hands out across the back of the booth.

I took the first shot and tried not to pull a face as the bitter liquid burned my throat. Seeing a man watching from the booth opposite, I threw my head back and let out a laugh before turning around, and placing one hand on Charles' chest. I could feel his taut muscles under the thin shirt, this did funny things to me and I leaned in running my tongue clean around his jawline. The corner of his lips turned up slightly before he composed himself. I took the other shot just as quickly.

What looked like a security guard approached us, "if you could follow me, Mr Thomas, we have somewhere more private for you and your guest."

Charles nodded, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder, before placing me on the floor, I automatically clung to his arm through fear and support. If he was concerned he wasn't showing it. He walked confidently to a door which opened into a booth exactly like we had been in before. Charles motioned for me to walk to the booth, it was clear our new guest had no intention of leaving us in this room alone.

"Four tequilas" Charles growled at him, prompting the man to stick his head out of the door before returning and taking a seat on the wall opposite us.

Charles sat in the booth and pulled me onto his lap once more, before the same waitress waltzed in and placed the shots in front of us, shooting Charles a grin in the process.

"Are you ok?" He asked his voice barely a whisper as hot breath danced on my skin like sparks from a fire. I nodded and grabbed one of the shots before throwing it back and placing my hand on his chest again for the support. His eyes met mine and I couldn't break my gaze. The look on his face I could have sworn was pure lust and if it was then I was definitely feeling it too.

I could feel him running his finger up the inside of my thigh, ripples of electricity ran down my spine, I took his earlobe between my teeth and gently pulled, this seemed to excite him as he shifted slightly causing me to move so that my two legs now completely straddled his leg but leaving me one wrong move away from showing the man my ass, I shuffled trying my best to prevent that from happening. A hard and thick line brushed the inside of my thigh and I closed my mouth onto his neck so I didn't gasp. I saw a muscle in his jaw flicker and his hand moved under the hem of my dress once more.

The door opened and another man walked in.

"Walker, I thought I might find you here," Charles stated with amusement.

"I must say I am surprised to find you here Charlie, I had heard that you chose to no longer feast on humans, and yet here you are with one, and a very fine one at that."

I could feel my heart beat faster, I knew he told me fed on humans at some point, but hearing it confirmed by someone else made me uncomfortable. Charles must have been able to sense it as he ran his hand up my thigh once more stopping just at the line of my thong.

"You were misinformed." He replied bluntly.

"Well this is an interesting development, she seems a little different to your usual taste but I must say I approve. Would you be willing to share?"

"This one is mine."

"Understood, though that is a pity."

Playing the role I was assigned, I wriggled around causing his hand to move onto the thin material of my thong, I sunk my teeth into his neck causing him to gasp and then give my ass a playful slap. I jumped and squealed, quickly masking it with a giggle, I started to undo the buttons of his shirt causing him to stiffen momentarily. I felt myself smile against his neck at the thought that he might now be feeling uncomfortable, that smile was wiped away when he began to stroke his finger along the material. I could feel myself becoming very aroused and I knew he would be able to feel it through the material. He was much better at this game than I was.

"Has Noah been here?"

"I do not recall seeing him."

"You don't recall or you won't tell me?"

"You wound me, Charlie"

"Cut the bullshit Walker, has he been here?"

"Not this evening, no."

"But he has been here? Who was he with?"

"Now Charlie, you know discretion is what this establishment is all about."

"Walker, if I need to remove my fingers from inside my evening snack I won't be happy" Charles threatened.

"Come on now, violence is so unnecessary. Perhaps you might like to speak to Victor."

Charles froze.

"Victor's here?"

"Why yes, I'll go get him."

I heard two sets of footsteps walk and the door clicked closed.

"s**t," Charles said under his breath.

"Who's Victor? Is that bad?"

"He's Noah's maker, and if he's here then yeah it's bad, thinks humans are for two purposes only, feeding and f*****g. He's going to take one look at us and know you aren't compelled."

"But how?"

He sighed.

"I used to be different, for a while I turned off my humanity and used to frequent here, I didn't care who saw or what I was doing."

That statement sat heavily on my stomach as it sunk in. I thought about those bodies outside entangled drinking and touching and I realised what he meant.

"You mean you had s*x in front of people while feeding from them?"

He nodded and I felt sick.

"Charles, I don't think, I…I can't have s*x with you."

"I don't want you to, I wouldn't want to have s*x with you."

His words slapped me in the face like a hand and I knew I'd flinched.

"I didn't mean for it to sound like that." He lifted my chin until my eyes met his. "Now isn't the time to have this discussion. I know I've been an i***t, I know I've hurt you and I don't deserve you to be helping me out right now let alone anything else. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to have s*x with you, I've thought about it enough times, but not like this, not here, and not in front of anyone, if it were to ever happen between us I want it to be just us and to mean something."

I sucked in a sharp breath. I didn't really know how to respond to that.

"You've done far more than I should have asked you for here tonight, I'll figure a way to get you out of here, I promise."

His face was strained with worry and anguish.

"I can do it better. I can't have s*x with you but I can put on a performance, I can try to buy us time to get some information about Noah."

"You don't have to do this."

"I want to. I'm going to need those shots of tequila though." I reached over and grabbed the three shots, throwing them back one by one and I prayed that soon I'd feel buzzed.

Charles leaned down and planted a light kiss on my temple which caught me by surprise and did funny things to my insides. This version of Charles was the one that haunted my dreams, the version that I desperately wanted to be the real him and the one that I wanted. But he also left me so confused with the back and forth and I had no idea where we stood or where I stood and how this had changed anything. My thoughts were interrupted by the door opening.

Charles quickly pulled my head into his neck again and positioned his hands under my ass giving me a gentle tug down on his lap. I rolled my hips back slightly once more to try to prevent my ass from being displayed but, oh god, I could feel it again, he was definitely hard underneath me.

"Victor, I would get up to greet you but I'm a little preoccupied and enjoying it," Charles said with more than a tone of amusement. I dug my nails into his shoulder in spite.

"I can see. With a human no less, when Walker told me, I hesitated to believe him, but you do indeed have a tasty little snack grinding away in your lap."

"Let's cut the pleasantries, I'm looking for Noah."

"So Walker tells me, I understood you two to still be like brothers, so I'm interested to know why you don't know where he is and why you would need to ask me."

I could feel the muscles in Charles' jaw twitching. There was a pause, and the atmosphere felt heavy with tension. A nervous giggle escaped my lips and I wiggled my hips trying to mask it. Charles bucked his hips into me in response and I felt him twitch beneath me, his hand quickly went to the inside of my thigh where he held it. I couldn't be sure if he was waiting for a sign from me that it was ok. I wiggled my hips and began kissing his neck. Another giggle escaped, this time it wasn't nerves. The buzz from the tequila was setting in.

"Mmmmmm" Charles moaned. "We had a slight disagreement that I would like to even out."

His thumb began to stroke the inside of my thigh getting ever closer to the end of my thong. I knew the material was damp, f**k I would die from embarrassment when he realises. He knew I was turned on, I knew he could smell it and that Victor could too. My face heated and I knew if they could see me I'd be red. But perhaps Victor wouldn't rumble us.

His fingers strummed down the centre of the very damp lace material and I was sure I could feel him getting harder and myself getting wetter. I hadn't been touched like this ever by someone other than me. Even the boyfriend I'd had, we had s*x and nothing more. But my body was responding in ways I hadn't predicted. My hips were pressing down onto his hardness and rolling back and forth like I'd forgotten we had an audience. Frustration coursed through me at the barrier between me and his fingers. My breathing was definitely becoming heavier.

"Can I join in?" Victor asked, laughing.

"This one is mine" Charles growled as his fingers now moved in a slow but steady circle.

"It's curious, this one doesn't have any feeding marks"

I felt Charles stiffen and I had to force myself to continue moving. "It's OK, you can if you need to" I breathed into his ear. I bit down on my lip as his fingers gathered pace. Then it dawned on me I'd just permitted him to feed from me.

Charles laughed. And flipped me onto my back turning my face to the side, my hair slid in front of my face exposing my neck, he moved over me and lowered his face towards my neck. I sucked in a breath bracing myself for what was about to happen.

"I much prefer more delicate areas to feed from these days, they taste much…" he leaned down and kissed my neck, in a motion that sent pleasure shivers all over my body. "Sweeter" he laughed again.

Faster than my eyes could register he pinned my arms above my head with one hand and began running his hand down my body with the other starting from my neck, I sucked in a breath as he skimmed over my chest, n*****s hardening, he moved lower still pausing on my bare thigh before he hooked his arm behind my knee and pushed it up. I gasped worrying he was about to expose me to Victor but he positioned his body in front of me.

Victor said nothing, he stood there enjoying this show we were putting on. Charles began to caress his hand along the inside of my bare thigh, I could feel my heart rate beating faster as he then followed his hand with shallow kisses, he paused as he reached the line of my thong, leaning down he planted small kisses following the line of the material. My breath hitched in my throat and my hands dug into the sofa material behind me, this was completely new to me and by now I didn't care that we had an audience. I didn't want Charles to stop.

"Perhaps I misjudged you, use the room as long as you need. I'll send for Noah."

The door clicked and Charles stiffened before finally moving.

"Are you ok? That was incredible" he breathed heavily as he leaned over, taking my hand to pull me up. I threw myself into his arms and forced my mouth upon his. My fingers curled around his hair tugging frantically at him. My mouth was hungry to taste him and he wasted no time in reciprocating. I pulled him down onto me as his hand found the hem of my dress and then my thong. Pushing it aside there was nothing between his fingers and the warm wetness.

I let out a moan as his fingers swept across the core of me and then in a circular motion before finally entering me. I cried out as the most incredible feeling began to build in me. His thumb continued to make circular passes as he hooked his finger inside of me reaching a spot that I'd read about but didn't think existed. His mouth found mine again, I took in his taste as that fire built and spread. I arched my back and bucked my hips against his hand as release washed over me and my body became like jelly.

Charles pulled me in tight to him kissing my forehead. I had so many things I wanted to say to him, to tell him but I simply couldn't form words. I wasn't even sure if any of this was real or was it still part of the act we needed to keep up.

I suddenly became aware of our surroundings and that someone could walk in at any point. I pulled my dress down so I felt less exposed and attempted to smooth down my hair. Victor or anyone else could come back at any moment and I didn't feel like we were now safe.

"Are you ok?" Charles asked as he pulled me back onto his lap, this time both legs across with my back to the door.

I nodded. "That was….um, I don't know how to describe it. It felt amazing. I've never…"

A look of horror spread across his face.

"You've never been touched like that before have you?"

"No" I whispered. How had it gone from him enjoying it to now looking disgusted by how he had just touched me?

"If I had known that, I would never have done that," he said, his voice shaking.

I began to bite the inside of my lip to stop the tears that were welling. I couldn't cry now no matter how much I wanted. I felt dirty and ashamed and just wanted to go home. I opened my mouth to ask him when the door opened and in walked Victor with Noah behind him.
