Bloodlines: Alexus Dracula

Strange Feelings

As Alexus, Michael and Maria walked towards the river they both turned left and started heading upriver towards the base of the mountain.  "Where are we going?" asked Alexus.  "It's a surprise.  Come on you will love it," said Maria. We walked until we reached the base of the mountain and I couldn't believe my eyes, in front of me was a beautiful waterfall. It reminded me of home and all the times I use to go to the waterfall at the spring hut with my family, without noticing tears had escaped my eyes.  "Are you alright?" asked Michael as he touched my elbow. I felt electricity from his touch then quickly responded, "Yes, I'm fine.  This place just reminds me of somewhere my parents used to take me and my brother," explained Alexus.  "Oh, we're sorry.  We can leave if you want," suggested Maria.  "No way and miss swimming in this majestic place with my new little bestie. Never, now let's make some memories," replied Alexus.  

Alexus slowly began to undress, as Michael noticed "What are you doing?" asked Michael.  "I am taking my clothes off so I have something dry to change into later," replied Alexus as she saw Michael's cheeks turn red.  "Don't worry, I have underwear and a bra on so unlucky for you there won't be a peep show today," flirted Alexus. Maria raced Alexus into the water and obviously, Alexus being a vampire always won races but this time she decided to let Maria win. "Oh dammit, you beat me," exclaimed Alexus as Maria splashed into the water. Alexus turned back to Michael, "Now, take your clothes off and come join us," she said as she gave him a flirty wink before diving into the water.  Michael, flustered took off his shirt and headed towards the water.  As Alexus came up from her dive the water glistened on her tanned body.  She looked at Maria and then back to Michael.  Her mouth dropped in surprise, she had never seen such a well-built man. His body screamed out climb me. "Not what you were expecting?" said Michael as he winked at Alexus.  "Two can play this game," he said as he dove into the water and surfaced an inch in front of Alexus.  Alexus could feel the heat emanating from their bodies.  She felt all sorts of feelings that she had never experienced before.  They stared into each other's eyes mesmerised, the heat rising in their bodies as the space between them grew smaller.  Their lips nearly touching.

"Alex, watch my jump," yelled Maria.  Alexus took a deep breath, pulled herself together before turning to acknowledge Maria. "You be careful up there, please," yelled Alexus. "It's fine.  I've done this heaps of times," replied Maria as Alexus watched her.  While watching Maria, Alexus felt Michael getting closer to her from behind until he snaked his arm around her bare waist pulling her into him.  Still immersed under the water, Alexus felt electricity throughout her whole body, she had never felt like this.  Still watching Maria, Alexus steadied her breathing. Michael then placed a light kiss in the crook of her neck that made her body feel weak before he whispered into her ear, "I don't know what you are doing to me but from that first time I saw you in the garden, I knew I had to get close to you,". Michael's finger drew small circles on Alexus' stomach as she tried to tame her screaming body as she slowly closed her eyes to ride these waves of ecstasy. "Are you watching?" yelled Maria from the top. Alexus opened her eyes and nodded. Maria counted down from 3 then ran and jumped off the waterfall with her eyes closed. The moment Maria's eyes closed, Alexus couldn't take it anymore and spun around locking Michael into a deep passionate kiss.  Before turning back around and swimming towards Maria who was slowly rising to the surface.

"You can't escape me that easily," he said playfully as she swam after Alexus.  Maria rose to the surface, "Did you see me, Alex," she asked.  "Yes, and you are soooo brave for doing that," replied Alexus.  As they were enjoying themselves in the water, some local people turned up looking to go for a swim.  "Michael, what are you doing here?" asked one of the girls. The atmosphere changed and Michael and Maria both became hesitant. "Wouldn't mind me a piece of that too," said one of the guys in the group as he looked at Alexus like a snack.  We all got out of the water. Michael and Maria were trying to cover me as best they could.  I grabbed my clothes and quickly dressed.  "Leaving so soon, we were just about to play a little game," said the same guy. "Julian, that's enough," said Michael as he pushed him back from Alexus. "Who is she?" yelled a girl from the group.  "None of your business Amanda," yelled Maria. Michael and Julian were face to face,  "What bro? You don't want to share with your pack," said Julian as he pushed Michael.  Alexus instinctively stepped forward and Michael put his arm out to stop her from getting closer. "Remember your place," warned Michael before he grabbed Alexus' hand and walked her out back towards the compound with Maria in tow.

"Michael, slow down.  Who were they?" asked Alexus as she tried to steady their pace so Maria didn't get left behind. Alexus yanked her hand from Michaels and stood in the middle of the path waiting for Maria to catch up. "What are you doing?" said Michael as he spun around to confront Alexus.  "I am waiting for your little sister or have you forgotten there was a Dweller hanging around not long ago," replied Alexus.  "You killed it so what's the matter?" said Michael.  "Just because I killed one, doesn't mean there aren't anymore," replied Alexus as Maria finally caught up to them.  Puffed, Maria let out "My little legs can't walk as fast as yours,".  "Here jump on my back," said Alexus and she bent down to let Maria climb on.  Once on Alexus' back, Maria rested her head on Alexus' shoulder before Alexus began walking again passing Michael in silence and heading back towards the compound.  The rest of the walk home was silent, Alexus was silently fuming and wanted to know what had happened to change Michael's mood so quickly but she also didn't want to intrude on their business.  As they reached the boundary of the compound, Alexus heard small snores coming from Maria and slowly manoeuvred Maria around to her front so she didn't fall off her back. 

Alexus began to head towards the kitchen entrance to the house, "Where are you going?" asked Michael.  "I'm going to take Maria to my room, she is exhausted and can sleep there.  When your family is ready to head home you can come and get her?" instructed Alexus.  Michael had become very untalkative on the walk home and simply nodded. Alexus made her way into the coven and up to her bedroom, she placed Maria on her bed before going into her wardrobe to find some clothes.  "Alexus," sung Rosetta as she walked through her bedroom door, running out of the wardrobe Alexus was trying to alert Rosetta to the sleeping child on the bed "Shhhhhhh" she said quietly as she pointed to the bed.  Rosetta looked at a sleeping Rosetta confused, "Alexus, you shouldn't get too attached.  You know you will eventually return home," she whispered.  "She reminds me so much of Roman and if I can make her life a little bit easier while I am here then why not," replied Alexus. "Anyway, why are you so perky?" asked Alexus, "No reason but I will be out tonight, I have a date with Bryan," said Rosetta, "Oooo Lala," replied Alexus teasing Rosetta.  "Good on you both, you both deserve happiness," said Alexus as a sad look captured her face for a moment, "What's wrong dear?" asked Rosetta.  "Nothing," she said as she plastered a smile on her face, "I am not buying that but you are going to love my next news....... Your grandfather and Roman will be here sometime tomorrow after lunch," said Rosetta and Alexus began to silently celebrate, jumping all around the room trying not to wake Maria.  "Right, now I have to go get ready for my date but I will see you in the morning," said Rosetta, "See you then and have fun," replied Alexus as she walked back into her wardrobe to find some clothes.

Alexus found some clothes and moved into the bathroom but because Maria was asleep on the bed she decided to leave the door slightly open so she could keep an eye on her.  Alexus quickly undressed and climbed into the shower.  As she let the water run over her face all she could think about was kissing Michael and the feeling it gave her when he touched her, the electricity that lit her body. As her mind began to drift into a place of ecstasy and pleasure she heard her bedroom door open and popped her head out to see who had just walked in.  As she watched the figure approach the bed, she couldn't tell who it was and used her vampire speed to wrap herself in a towel and race into the bedroom. She quickly grabbed the figure and moved them across the room holding them by the chest and pinning them to the wall, her irises turning red.  As she realised it was Michael her eyes turned back to brown and slowly released him from the wall but not before she thought she had seen his irises flicker yellow before returning back to brown.  "Sorry, I thought you were someone else," said Alexus.  "Why would you be worried about someone coming into your room," replied Michael.  "Obviously, you didn't hear about the two incidents I had with Jacob attacking my brother and forcing himself onto me," explained Alexus. Shocked Michael just stood there, "I'm sorry!" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.  "Thanks," said Alexus as she finally realised that she was standing there wrapped in a towel and soaking wet. 

 "So, what are you doing here anyway? Did you come to get Maria?" asked Alexus.  "I just came to check if she was still asleep and make sure she wasn't causing too much hassle," replied Michael as he bit his lip looking Alexus up and down.  "Okay, well I am just going to go and finish my shower," replied Alexus as she made her way back into the bathroom and jumped back in the shower.  Alexus found herself longing to be touched by Michael as she could hear him pacing backwards and forwards.  She let the water run down her face as she closed her eyes listening to Michael's steps, breathing and heart rate.  Michael continued to pace before he slowly made his way towards the bathroom but stopped just shy of the bathroom door and placed his forehead on the door.  Alexus could hear his breathing on the other side of the door, her body begging him to walk through until finally he lifted his head and walked out of the bedroom.  

Alexus turned off the shower, dressed and made her way back into the bedroom as Maria began to stir and wake up.  "Alexus?" said Maria confused and still half asleep.  "I'm here, Maria," replied Alexus as she brushed her hair at her dresser.  Maria gave a big stretch before jumping off the bed and walking over to Alexus.  "What time is it?" asked Maria, "It is 5.30 pm, nearly dinner time.  We better head down to your parents," replied Alexus as they made their way down to the butcher.  Alexus dropped Maria off at her parents and made plans to meet Maria in the morning for jobs then meet Derek and Elisa at the butchery at 2 pm with the compound builder to plan out the renovations before saying goodnight and heading back to the house.  As Alexus was approached the vegetable garden, Michael called out to her, "Alexus, wait up,".  Alexus turned to see Michael jogging over to her. "This is crazy but I feel like we have this connection.  I don't know how to explain it and it's forbidden but I feel like I want to give it a go,"  "Michael," interrupted Alexus. "I don't think you understand Michael," replied Alexus.  "What don't I understand?" asked Michael.  "I'm betrothed.  That is why I was moved here," explained Alexus, "To Jacob," asked Michael.  "Yes, my grandfather and Lady Amelia agreed to a betrothal before I was born.  From the moment I came into existence, I was promised to someone I can't even stand," explained Alexus as she burst into tears. "You obviously don't want to do it so why go along with it?" asked Michael confused and angry. "It is my duty and I have to do what is right for my family and coven, even if it means that I'm not happy," replied Alexus.  Michael unable to handle the disappointment just walked away and left speechless and unable to verbalise what he was thinking.  

Alexus stood by the vegetable for a moment, trying to control her emotions and breathing.  Everything that she had been trying to hold in had finally begun to spill over.  The loss of her parents, being separated from her brother, moving to the Romanoff coven and the betrothal.  Alexus felt a pair of soft arms wrap her into a warm embrace.  "What are you doing here? I thought you were going on a date," whispered Alexus between sobs. "I forgot to set the sprinklers so quickly came over before we head off but I'm going to cancel and stay in with you tonight," said Rosetta as she turned Alexus to face her and began to wipe away her tears. "No! You can't.  I will be fine. I am just going to have a long bath and then bed before tomorrow anyway so you would be wasting your time," replied Alexus.  "Okay, I will go on my date on one condition," "Anything," "You have to tell me what is going on and no lies," instructed Rosetta.  Alexus nodded her head and took a deep breath trying to figure out how to explain everything, "It's just hard.  In a matter of a few months, I have lost my parents and brother, been taken away from my family and worst of all I'm betrothed to an egotistical, spoilt, man w***e who I loathe but have to marry because it is my duty," explained Alexus. "And?" questioned Rosetta and she looked at Alexus with a raised eyebrow. "And I have developed some feelings for Michael which sounds impossible because I barely know it and we barely know each other but all I do know is he makes me smile, I get butterflies when I am near him and when I touch him my body ignites in electricity," replied Alexus.  Rosetta wasn't sure what advice to give, she knew what she had to say but what she had to say and wanted to say were two different things so she went with what she wanted to say, "Alexus, the heart wants what the heart wants and maybe you need to explain this to Michael.  I think that you should follow you heart but be smart about it.  Technically, your only betrothed and not married and I can guarantee that Jacob has slept with one, if not all three of the Beauregard triplets while staying with them so have some fun while you are young but just be careful," replied Rosetta.  Rosetta's words gave Alexus hope as she embraced Rosetta, "Now you go on your date and I am heading to my room to relax.  Enjoy yourself tonight and I want to hear all about it in the morning," said Alexus as they both began to walk back towards the house.  

Alexus left Rosetta in the foyer as she made her way up to her bedroom to run a bath.  Alexus ran a hot bath and added relaxing bath salts and a couple of milk and lavender bath bombs to help her relax.  As she undressed she slowly began to relax but it was immersing herself in the hot bath that slowly made everything drift away.  As the time moved on and the bath began to cool down a little more, Alexus began to fall asleep and decided it was time to get out. Alexus wrapped herself in a towel and walked into her wardrobe to find something to sleep in when the door to her room opened and someone walked in.  Alexus turned to find a sweaty, breathless, rugged-looking Michael standing in the doorway.  His irises were bright yellow.  "Michael? What are you doing here? Why are you panting? Did you run here?" asked Alexus confused.  Michael just stood there in the doorway.  Michael walked closer to Alexus and began to try and explain, "I have never felt like this and you don't truly know me and we barely know each other but what I do know is that you make me feel alive,".  Moved by his words, Alexus walked over to him and pinned him to the wardrobe wall before smashing her lips into his and taking him by surprise.  Once Michael was over the initial surprise, his lips began to work with Alexus' and his hands began to roam every inch of her body until the towel wrapped around her body dropped to the floor, fully exposing Alexus to Michael. Michael let out a small growl as he began to trail kisses down her neck and into the crook of her neck as Alexus closed her eyes and arched her back in pure ecstasy.  Michael ran his hands and lips over every inch of her body, every crevice and bend as he trailed down her abdomen, she let out a small moan which ignited Michaels passion even more.  Michael slowly worked his way down lower as he slipped his tongue into her opening, surprised Alexus jumped and pulled him back up to her view.  Alexus filled with intense feelings began to rip his clothes off and began trailing kisses all over his body as she felt the bulge in his pants, undoing them and slowly lowering them to the ground.  Alexus held his firm piece and she began to rub it back and forth, making Michael close his eyes in pleasure. Alexus slowly placed her mouth around his piece to fully taste and provide him with more waves of pleasure before Michael lifted Alexus up and place her on the dresser.  Michael looked Alexus in the eyes, "Are you sure?" he asked as she nodded before pulling him into another passionate kiss.  Michael slowly inserted his piece into her opening and thrust her against the dresser slowly but with every pleasurable moan that escaped Alexus' mouth, Michael thrust faster and harder as Alexus arched her back and thrust her hips forward pushing against Michael's masculine body. Michael enveloped Alexus' chest in kisses with a combination of sucking and licking in the most sensitive places.  Before long Alexus' moans were beginning to turn into soft screams as they tried to be quiet.  Michael's thrusts double in strength and speed as he felt ready to c****x.  He looked into Alexus' eyes as she said "Don't leave me." and moved her hips into him harder and faster before shuddering under an explosion of ecstasy.

Michael lifted Alexus from the dresser and moved her over to the bed and pulled the blankets over her. She reached her arm out to Michael and said "Stay with me,".  Michael climbed into bed with Alexus as she intertwined her body with his.  "Alexus, I have to leave before morning.  I am guessing it is going to be harder to get out than it was to get in but I promise I will be back tomorrow and we will talk about everything then, okay," explained Michael and Alexus nodded and hummed in agreeance. Alexus slowly drifted into a deep sleep as she lay listening to Michael's heartbeat in absolute peaceful bliss.
