“And there would be no way to tell exactly how bad the bridges are until we get there,” I said. “But since I’ve heard other vamps talk about the NYPD cops and Erika has seen shit on the message boards about it, I think it’s pretty safe to say that the tunnels and shit are just fucked.”
“Then how the fuck are we ever gonna get out of the city?” Lily groaned. “We’ve gotta go over a bridge at some point.”
“Yeah, but it doesn’t have to be one into Manhattan,” Erika said and then took her hair down from the loose bun that she had just twisted it up into.
“It would have to be 278,” Natalie said. “We’d have to take the Verrazzano.”
“That will probably be our best best,” I said, “but at least if we take 278 out of the city, we’ll go through our own borough, and we already know what’s going on here, and we know what bosses control what areas and everything. That’s way more than we know about Manhattan and Yonkers.”
“I didn’t think about it that way,” Lily said and bit her lip again. “Okay, well, I guess that makes sense.”
“Good, then it’s decided,” I said. “After all, even if we take 278 out of the city, I’m sure it’ll still be crowded as fuck. I mean, if we want to be totally honest, all the roads are probably gonna be swarmed with my kind at least until we get to central Pennsylvania.”
“Yeah, ‘cause even after we get across the Verrazzano, we’d still have to go through Staten Island,” Lily said, “and then through Jersey, which was already a godforsaken hell-hole even before the apocalypse came along.”
“Right, and then we’ll have to get past the Philly area before we finally get into rural Pennsylvania,” I said.
“I guess that’s just all the more reason for us to add a few new people into your blood pool,” Erika said. “We need to make sure that you’re the fastest, strongest, most superhuman, badass vamp in the city.”
“Then you’ll all stay here,” I said, “and I’ll take a boat up to Columbia, grab Isaac and the girls, come back down here, and then we’ll try to take the truck down 278 and get the fuck out of here.”
“That’s a big plan,” Catherine said with a smile.
“Well, we’ll just do what we’ve always done,” I said. “We’ll just take it all one thing at a time.”
“So how do we barricade ourselves in here?” Erika asked.
“Um, before we get to that…” Natalie blinked away tears. “Look, guys, I know it was a hard decision for Sam to go and save Isaac, but-- just know that I really appreciate it, okay? I mean it. Thank you.”
“Ah, don’t go all mushy on us, sweetie,” Catherine said and gave her a little elbow nudge. “We’ve got you covered.”
“Damn straight,” I said and leaned forward to give my girlfriend a kiss. “We’re all in this pile of shit together, okay?”
“Okay,” Natalie said and then smiled. “Alright, let’s get back to the plan.”
“I think we should all take a quick break before I barricade you in,” I said. “I’ll walk you all down to one of the stores we passed real quick. Then you can stretch your legs and go to the bathroom for a few minutes. After all, you’ll have to stay inside the truck until I get back.”
“Oh, thank god you fucking said something,” Catherine swore. “Because I have to pee like nobody’s business.”
“You know we didn’t actually leave the apartment that long ago,” Natalie laughed.
“Well, sue me,” the long-legged girl said. “I guess I’ve got a small bladder or something.”
After I checked to make sure all the girls had their pistols ready-- just in case-- and that Natalie and her roommates had their rifles ready, too, I grabbed my Daniel Defense rifle and my Louisville slugger, so I would have two more weapons on top of the Mark 23 already holstered at my waist.
Then I helped all the girls out of the back of the truck and then told them to wait there while I looked down on the street. I ran to the window of the parking garage, glanced in both directions, and didn’t see any sign of another soul on the road.
It wasn’t a guarantee that the street would still be empty by the time we got down there, but I took it as a pretty good sign.
“This way,” I whispered and started toward the ramp that led down to the first level of the parking garage. “Try not to make any noise.”
All four girls nodded with their eyes wide, and I knew they had to be nervous. Other than the two seconds that it took for them to get from the apartment building into the back of the truck, this was the longest any of them had been outside since the end of the world started.
And that meant the pressure was really on for me to keep all four of them safe.
When we had driven around on the street earlier, I had seen a wine and spirits store just before we reached the parking garage, and it seemed like the closest place for me to take the girls to stretch their legs and to use the bathroom. Plus, I would only have to break a few bottles, and then the smell of alcohol should help cover up the girls’ scent.
As soon as we had passed through the first level of the parking garage, I made the girls wait again, this time by the entrance booth. I checked the street one more time, but everything still seemed clear, so I gestured for them to follow me, and then we quickly moved down the sidewalk together.
Natalie walked right behind me, Erika and Lily followed side by side behind her, and Catherine brought up the rear with her rifle gripped tightly in her hands. It was exactly how I would have arranged the girls, so I was glad that they had done it themselves naturally. After all, Natalie was by far the best shot out of any of them, but from what I’d seen so far, Catherine was definitely the fiercest fighter, so I felt confident that she would protect the back of our party while we hurried toward the liquor store.
The door to the wine and spirits store was locked when we reached it, and I was actually a little surprised that no one had broken the windows to try to steal loads of free wine after the apocalypse had geared up into full swing. But I guessed as much as people liked a free drink, they liked their own lives more, so they had decided to stay home and hide from the vamps instead.
I gripped the door and planned to just use my strength to tug on it until the lock simply broke off, but then Erika grabbed my arm and shook her head. She reached into her pocket, pulled out the lockpicking kit that I’d given her, and then held up two fingers.
“Two seconds,” she mouthed.
The tech-savvy girl must have been practicing while I was out of the apartment.
When I nodded for her to try it, I turned so that my back faced the door and I could look out onto the street. It was still empty, but I only planned to give Erika about thirty seconds before I just busted open the door myself. If I could avoid the noise that might come from breaking the lock, I would take it, but I didn’t want the girls to be out in the open for much longer.
But Erika was apparently as good at physical locks as she was with online security shit, so not even fifteen seconds later, the lock popped open, and she opened the door for us all with a wide grin.
I wrapped my arm around her shoulders with a smile, and then I ushered her and the other girls inside the store. Only when the door was closed and locked again did I feel like it was safe enough to speak.
“Nice job, Erika,” I said.
“I always like to learn new things,” the black-haired girl said with a shrug.
“And apparently, you’re like super good at it,” Catherine said.
“Okay, just let me do one thing, and then you can run around in here and do whatever else you need to,” I said. “I just need to smash a couple of bottles.”
I grabbed a few bottles of wine and easily broke them to spill their contents by the windows, and after I did the same thing with a few bottles of whiskey and some flavored rums by the door, I figured that the only scent now was all the different kinds of alcohol. It should buy us enough time for the girls to take care of their business and then for me to take them all back to the par
king garage.
“Just stay away from the windows and door, okay?” I told the girls. “And Catherine, it looks like the bathroom is back that way where the main office is.”
“Awesome,” the auburn-haired girl said, and then she sprinted in the direction that I had pointed.
Lily dropped to the ground and started to do a few yoga poses to stretch out, while Erika just stretched her arms up toward the ceiling like she’d been cramped up in the truck for days on end.
My girlfriend didn’t join the two other girls in their stretches. Instead, she slipped her hand into mine and tugged me toward the back hallway with the office and the bathroom.
“Where are we--” I started.
“Shh,” Natalie said with a smile. “You’ll see.”
I had seen that expression on her face too many times not to know what she wanted, and immediately, I felt my body respond to the desire in her eyes.
The moment we entered the empty back office, Natalie closed the door and then pivoted around to face me.
“I know it’s gonna be really hard to get up to Columbia and get Isaac,” my beautiful girlfriend said as she looked up at me, “so I figured that the least I can do is give you a proper send-off.”
“Well, I’m sure as shit not gonna say no to that,” I said with a grin.
I pushed her up against the wall and then leaned down to kiss her. Her lips were soft and full against mine, and as our tongues started to explore each other’s mouths, she reached her hand up to graze my waist, but I just reached down and grabbed her wrist.
“Not so fast.” I smirked.
After I grabbed her other wrist, too, I pinned them both above her head and then pushed myself closer to her, so she could already start to feel how hard I was for her. Natalie moaned as she felt my stiff cock rub against her crotch through our clothes, and she moaned a little louder when I moved my free hand up to grip her round ass.
“What if they hear us?” Natalie gasped.
“Who fucking cares?” I chuckled. “Didn’t you just tell me that I can take whatever I want, whenever I want it?”
“Fuck, Sam,” my girlfriend groaned as she closed her eyes. “You know I love it when you take control.”
While I kept her arms pinned above her head, I started to kiss along the side of her neck, but before I could even take her shirt off, I felt the strong pulse of the artery in her neck, and I knew that I had to drink from her. I licked the skin just above her pulse, and then as my girlfriend writhed against me, I bared my teeth and then bit down into her soft skin.
Natalie moaned as I felt her heartbeat quicken, and more and more of her blood flowed into my mouth. The strength of her blood flowed through my muscles until I shuddered and shivered with pleasure, and heat spread through my body like I had just come across a bonfire after a long cold night.
As I continued to drink from her, I slipped my free hand away from her ass and toward the top of her pants. I slid my fingers just underneath them and just into the top of her underwear, so I could graze along the front of her hip bone and tease her.
“Oh, my god,” Natalie said as she bit her lip. “You know you’re driving me fucking crazy, right?”
“Good,” I murmured, and then I went right back to drinking from her neck.
I slid my hand a little lower into her pants until my fingertips barely brushed her clit, but then just as she started to moan, I pulled my fingers back.
“I don’t know if you’ve earned this yet,” I whispered through a mouthful of blood.
“Fuck, don’t tease me like that!” Natalie groaned. “Please, Sam-- don’t stop now.”
“Well, if I do this for you,” I said as I slipped my fingers toward her clit again, “what are you gonna do for me?”
“Whatever you fucking want,” my girlfriend gasped. “I’ll get on my knees right now, just don’t stop, please.”
Natalie started to twist against my grip on her wrists like she was going to kneel in front of me and take me into her mouth, but I just tightened my grasp on her arms and held her upright.
“I think I just might take you up on that in a minute,” I growled, “but first, I want you to come while I drink from your neck.”
“Mmmm,” my beautiful girlfriend moaned as her head rocked back against the office door.
My fingers slipped further into her pants, and this time, I didn’t stop at her clit. Instead, I brushed them against the soft lips of her pussy, and I immediately felt how wet she was for me. Then I just teased her lips for a few seconds to drive her a little more crazy, and finally, I slid two fingers inside her smooth tunnel.
“Ohh,” Natalie purred. “Ohhh, my god.”
I massaged my fingers back and forth inside her pussy, while I continued to drink the steady pulse of blood that flowed into my mouth. Between the feel of her pussy against my fingers and the feel of her blood against my tongue, I felt my cock grow so hard that I thought it might just rip through the fabric of my pants.
I could feel that I had almost taken enough blood from her neck, but I didn’t want to stop until she came for me. I massaged the smooth walls of her tunnel until I was able to slip my fingers deeper inside her, and then I curved my hand so I could start to rub her G-spot.
“Oh, fuck,” Natalie said as she writhed against me. “Oh, god, right there!”
I suddenly sank my teeth a little deeper into her flesh, and as a fresh wave of blood pulsed into my mouth, I felt my girlfriend’s muscles all clench at the same time.
“Oh, god, yes!” Natalie gasped. “Yes! Ohhhh!”
Her whole body shuddered as the orgasm swept over her, and as it swelled and crested to a finish, her muscles trembled so much that I damn near lost my grip on her. When her climax finally subsided and my girlfriend opened her eyes again, she smiled and let out such a long sigh that it sounded like she’d held her breath for a full minute.
After I raised my lips from her neck and licked up the last of the blood, I checked to make sure the puncture marks had healed over and left behind only two tiny white marks. Then I pulled away from her neck, slipped my hand back out of her pants, and released my tight grip on her wrists with a smile.
“I think you know what you have to do now,” I growled. “After all, a promise is a promise, right?”
Natalie bit her lip and nodded. Then right away, she knelt onto the ground in front of me and started to rub my stiff cock through my pants.
“Jesus, you’re hard,” my girlfriend purred.
“And what are you gonna do about it?” I demanded.
“Just this,” Natalie said as she looked up at me with her big blue eyes, and then she unzipped my pants so they fell to my feet along with my boxers.
As soon as I kicked them away, Natalie grasped my dick with a firm hand and guided it toward her mouth. At first, she just grazed her lips against the tip of my shaft, but then she started to run her tongue back and forth along my full length, until every nerve tingled with how much I wanted her.
Then, slowly, my girlfriend wrapped her lips around my tip and started to suck gently. I knew that she wanted to tease me as much as I had teased her, but her soft lips felt so good on my cock that I almost couldn’t fucking stand it.
“Do you think I’ve earned it yet?” Natalie asked after she pulled her lips away from my cock.
“That depends,” I said as I slid my hands into her chestnut-brown hair to grip her in place. “What exactly do you think you’re trying to earn here?”
“For you to fuck me,” my beautiful girlfriend whispered. “I want you inside me, Sam.”
“Oh, then, not a chance, sweetheart,” I said with a grin. “You’re gonna have to work a little harder to earn that.”
“Whatever you say,” Natalie murmured, and then she wrapped her lips around the tip of my shaft again.
This time, she didn’t just tease me. Instead, she took my whole cock into her mouth until the tip grazed the back of her throat, and then Natalie made a soft muffled noise as my full le
ngth filled her mouth.
As my girlfriend started to slide her lips up and down my dick, I used my grip on her hair to help her bob up and down. Her mouth felt so good around my cock that I had to use one hand to steady myself on the door, but the slight movement accidentally slipped my dick so deep into her throat that Natalie made a little gagging sound.
Immediately, I pulled back a little, but to my surprise, Natalie reached up to grab my hips and pull me back toward herself, so my cock slid all the way to the back of her throat again. She made the same gagging noise, but she kept her grip tight on me, so I didn’t pull away this time.
Then the beautiful brunette started to slide her lips up and down my shaft, and every time she took me all the way into her mouth, she let my cock slip in a little deeper. She moaned again as she sucked my dick, and I knew that I couldn’t hold myself back much longer.
“Fuck, Nat,” I groaned.
Natalie just looked up at me and sucked a little harder, and as soon as I saw her blue eyes gaze up at me from where she held my whole dick in her mouth, I felt my whole body spasm in response to her.
As soon as I started to climax, I gripped her hair again and shoved her fully down onto my cock, so she could take all of my cum. Instantly, my cum poured into the beautiful brunette, and I felt my legs tremble as I emptied myself into her waiting mouth.
“Fuckkkkk!” I moaned and then pressed my cock a little more deeply into her throat until she gagged again, and this time, I felt her swallow all of my seed.
Finally, I pulled my dick out of her mouth, and my gorgeous girlfriend licked the last of my cum off from her lips.
“God, you taste good,” Natalie said with a smile.
“And you feel fucking good,” I sighed. “So you liked it when my cock made you gag?”
“Yeah, I guess so,” my girlfriend said and then bit her lip. “I just really liked how powerful you felt.”
“Me too.” I pulled her to her feet so I could kiss her again.
“So I know we both just came,” Natalie murmured into my ear, “but do you think… well, do you think I’ve earned it yet?”
“Maybe,” I said and then nibbled on her ear. “But maybe I need to hear you say it first. Tell me what you want.”
