Every thrust, every slide of his penis in and out of me pushed me higher, closer to my orgasm. I could tell, with the stirring of my senses, with the feeling spreading through my body that this was going to be bigger than anything I could have experienced while human.
Adrian let out a low growl, bending over me, his chest resting on my back. His fangs grazed my skin and when he buried them in my shoulder, an answering growl burst from my lips. As he fed, it was enough to push me over the edge and I exploded, my orgasm tearing through me. It seemed to go on and on, increasing in intensity, like a wave building momentum as it headed towards the shore, before peaking, spreading through me, lighting up every part of my body in a kaleidoscope of colour and sensation. My fangs descended and frantically I dropped my head, biting into Lucas, feeding from him as my body convulsed through its release. He cried out and I felt another wash of his cum coat my breasts and stomach.
As Lucas came on me, and I trembled through my own release, my muscles milking Adrian, he thrust hard into me once, twice more before his whole body tensed. With my name falling from his lips in a throaty growl he ground his hips hard against me, and I felt him filling me, his body over mine until he was empty.
Slowly we all disentangled ourselves and I dropped to the floor unsure of what would happen now. Adrian pulled himself together first and his expression was guarded when he turned to me. “You’re going to have to stay here Faith until I work out what the hell I’m going to do. If my father or Flame, any of them sees you, they will know you’re vampire. I may have to lie and say you’ve run off because I wouldn’t commit to you or something.”
“Why can’t you just tell them the truth Adrian? It may not be as bad as you think. You can’t do to me what you’ve done to your son. We can’t spend our lives in this eternal prison because you’ve decided the only way to deal with us, is to put us in the too hard basket.”
Adrian snorted. “You came here to beg my son to change you. You caused this Faith. I accidentally took Lucas’s life and he’s been a prisoner here ever since. I live with the guilt and the regrets from my actions every fucking day of my life. Now you’ve willingly come here and got him to change you or start to. What did you hope to achieve? Did you think I’d declare my undying love for you and we’d ride off into the sunset? Nothing’s changed, if anything, you’ve complicated my life more. I can keep what I did to Lucas a secret but how do I hide you? You will have everyone looking for you, sooner or later.”
His words stung and I felt tears prick the back of my eyes. Only Adrian could be cruel and hurtful to me while his cum ran down my legs. The annoying thing was that he was kind of right. Not about riding off into the sunset and declarations of undying love; although that would have been ideal, but I had hoped to force his hand. To leave him with no choice but to go to his parents and confess all, but Adrian was more stubborn than I’d given him credit for. Well fuck him then. He didn’t want me, I didn’t need him. He wasn’t going to confess to his family, well he was in for a surprise. My visions showed me what would happen and I had faith in them.
“Just go.” I said wearily. “Make up some bullshit excuse to everyone as to why I’m not home. Continue down your path of lies, self-loathing and guilt.”
“Are you dismissing me from my own home?” Adrian’s expression was incredulous.
“Yeah I am. There’s nothing more for us to discuss, and you insist on being a stubborn mulish ass, so fuck off.” I snapped at him and watched him straighten, an expression crossing his face which looked suspiciously like pain. I hoped it was pain. He hurt me so often; in fact he was still hurting me. It was time he found out what it was like to be on the receiving end of it.
“I can’t leave you. You’re a new vampire. You will want blood and I don’t trust what you might do to get it.”
I shook my head at him. “You don’t need to worry about me. I’m not going to go on some crazy blood frenzy and leave bodies everywhere. Besides I’m sure Lucas can keep an eye on me and let me feed from him a little, can’t he? We don’t know if I’m a full blood vampire or a hybrid like him. Maybe I’ll still be able to eat food. Plus, what about Katherine, does anyone feed from her?”
“I look after Katherine, I don’t make a meal of her and besides she’s blind, I can’t mind control her. I need to be able to make eye contact for the mind controlling to be successful.” Adrian sighed heavily and began dressing. “Fine, I will lock you in though. I don’t trust you not to escape. The blood lust when it comes is hard to control when you’re new. I can’t risk your exposure as vampire to the humans, and believe me the smell of blood makes your fangs want to descend. Controlling them so they don’t is something you must learn. Now I will leave you two alone and be back tomorrow. Oh, and clean yourself up, you’re covered in cum.”
With one final long look at me, he turned his back and walked away, leaving me alone with Lucas. I heard the bolt slide across to lock us into the suite that had been Lucas’s prison for the last couple of years. There was the murmur of voices and finally the sound of the front door opening and closing and Adrian was gone.
Adrian
When Adrian got back to his father’s home, he was thankful in some ways that it was very late and that he didn’t have to deal with any of his family. He had to think about what the hell he was going to do about Faith.
What had she been thinking when she decided to track down his home where he kept Katherine and Lucas? How the fuck had she done that? He’d never told her anything about the location of his home, to avoid her going all goodwill on him and running over there to help him as she’d offered to do. Whatever the hell her version of helping him could have done anyway.
Well, she wasn’t helping him now. In fact she’d majorly fucked up and complicated his life even more. How the hell was he going to make up some believable excuse for her disappearance? He couldn’t let his family find out she was vampire because then they’d want to know who changed her and Lucas’s existence could be discovered.
Why would she want to be vampire? Now he’d had to leave her with his son and that worried him. He didn’t want to think about what they might get up to now they were alone. Ok, she hadn’t exactly leapt on his cock and ridden him like he was a horse in the Melbourne Cup, but locking the two of them up together would surely prove too much of a temptation. One young horny vampire and one vampire who’d been denied sex for a long time confined together? It was only a matter of time before something happened. Still, he had no right being upset about it. He had repeatedly pushed Faith away and he’d told her numerous times there could never be anything between them. So why did the idea them possibly being intimate together upset him so much?
He had to stop torturing himself with those kinds of thoughts. He’d locked them up together so it was only a matter of time. Faith’s control as a young vampire wouldn’t allow her to think rationally about her decision. She would simply react on impulse, be driven to fuck because as vampire they were little more than animals. A baby vampire had no control. It was something that took time to learn, to think and not just react on instinct.
Adrian groaned, trying to shut his mind to the flood of images of Lucas and Faith together. They weren’t even real, they were simply images made up by his tortured mind to drive him that little bit closer to insanity.
It was a relief to finally make it to his room and close the door shutting out everything and everyone, at least for a little while. He determinedly pushed his thoughts aside, stripping off his clothes and walking naked through to the bathroom. He showered quickly and collapsed into bed, falling into a troubled sleep. Even in sleep he couldn’t rest though and his mind was plagued with unwanted dreams of his son and Faith wrapped in one another’s arms.
The following evening Adrian waited in his room until he was sure his family had left, well his parents especially. He knew he had to get out of the house before Fabian and Sirene returned. His mother wasn’t working tonight so they probably wouldn’t be long and were ju
st out hunting.
He needed to drop in and check on Faith and Lucas, feed them and Katherine before going to work. It was best friends Elle and Hanna for tonight. They weren’t gay but they enjoyed sharing a man and they preferred to pay him as he would act out whatever fantasy they desired.
Dressed for the evening with the best friends, he wore his leather pants, blood red silk shirt and leather vest. His hair was pulled back into its customary ponytail and he was ready. When he stepped out of his room, he tensed when he saw Damien and Flame. He thought everyone was gone but he had to be unlucky enough to run into Faith’s sister.
“Well, well, well, the mysterious man himself.” Damien grinned. He looked over Adrian’s shoulder. “So where’s Faith?” Before Adrian could respond Damien continued. “Don’t try to make out you and her aren’t involved in some way at least. We heard you the other day. I think half of Hobart would have heard you two or her at least. Noisy little thing isn’t she; so no more virgin in the house?”
“I’m not discussing this with you Damien.” He snapped. “I don’t know where she is, I’m not her fucking keeper despite what she thinks. All this crap she comes up with about being mine. I don’t get involved with anyone.”
“Oh so you’re just using my sister? Is that what you’re saying?” Flame’s face filled with rage and Adrian silently groaned. That wasn’t what he’d meant, and stirring up Flame was never a good idea. She was volatile and a true redhead, quick to lose her temper. He could use his dominant self on her but that only seemed to work back when she was filled with self-loathing over being vampire, and blaming herself for the car accident that had led to her being turned. Now she’d adjusted to what she was, he’d lost control over her. Her guilt was gone and he envied her. He wished he could be free of it, but it consumed his every waking moment.
He sighed heavily. “No Flame, that’s not what I meant and as for her virginity, she came to me in the fucking shower insisting I take it. She said it was a liability to her. She was trying to find someone at the club to fuck her, and I got her out of there and took her home, thinking I might have defused her crazy desire to discard her virginity, but no, she came to me. You have no idea how many times I told her I couldn’t do this to her. I tried to put her off, wanting her to find someone better than me, wanting her to do so much better than a man who can’t commit to her, who can’t commit to anyone.” His voice cracked slightly which got both Flame and Damien frowning at him. “I have to go.” He said and turned, walking swiftly down the hallway where he grabbed his car keys and left the house.
Faith
It had been an interesting day my first day in Adrian’s home with Lucas and as a vampire. Surprisingly my blood lust was controllable and for some crazy reason I was craving food, real food, not just blood.
“I think I’m like you Lucas. Not a full vampire. I want food, or I think I do at least.”
“Well when father gets here we can test that theory.” Lucas grinned.
I looked at him, studying his features for a moment. “Has it been lonely locked up here like a prisoner for so long? Do you resent him for doing what he did to you? He took your life from you and you’ve been trapped here for two years. It can’t have been easy.”
“I hated it at first. The blood lust wasn’t that hard to deal with due to me also eating food, but the sex, or lack of it.” He averted his eyes from mine briefly. “Not having the sex that is as powerful in its need as the need to feed, that’s the hardest part.” He looked a little embarrassed when his eyes met mine again. “I had plenty of time to do what I love though and I wrote.”
That piqued my curiosity. “What do you write and what do you love?”
“Come with me.” He took my hand and although initially surprised at him doing so, I made no attempt to pull my hand from his, and followed him down the hall and into a living room. He released my hand and walked to a tall, narrow cabinet pulling the door open. He reached in, and when I saw what he pulled out I gasped. It was a guitar.
“You play?” I asked and he nodded.
“I play and I sing a bit plus I love to write songs too.” He lovingly slipped the guitar strap over his neck and looked at me again. “Do you have any requests?”
“What do you know?” I asked him.
“You tell me what you want to hear and I’ll tell you if I know it.” He strummed the strings of the guitar, filling the room with the sweet sound.
“Well I am a Ronan Keating fan so how about ‘When you say Nothing at All? Do you know it? You know it’s in the movie Notting Hill?” I raised an eyebrow at him. “Do you need me to sing part of it for you?”
Lucas chuckled. “I know it but perhaps I should have pretended I didn’t and let you sing to me.”
In a very non vampire like reaction to his teasing, I stuck my tongue out at him. I liked Adrian’s son but the more time I spent with him, I knew I wasn’t interest in him; he was more like a brother to me. I could tell he wasn’t really that interested in me either. Not like that, not sexually, despite us being vampires. Natural attraction for one another shouldn’t have come into it, but our human emotions seemed to be stronger. With no spark there was no desire and with no desire, we had no interest in one another sexually.
I guess technically since he’d instigated my change, that made Lucas my brother. So maybe our reaction was normal? I didn’t know. I thought vampires just wanted sex with anyone and everyone but then I should have realised, that wasn’t the case necessarily. Getting Adrian to take my virginity had been as difficult as trying to swim up a waterfall. He’d resisted to the point where I’d wondered if I was ever going to break him.
Maybe the lack of desire to have sex between Lucas and I was simply because we’d both been sired by my dark and brooding vampire. Of course since Adrian completed the change, did that make him my father? If he was, there was no way in hell I’d ever call him dad.
“Do you feel very different now you’re vampire?” I asked curiously.
He frowned briefly as he strummed his guitar. “What do you mean? Are you asking if I feel like a vampire?”
I nodded. “I guess I thought I’d feel very different, that I’d be strong and a bitch like Francesca. She’s one of the vampires that live with Adrian’s father, well, Fabian sired her too. I thought I’d be crazy for blood but I’m not. In fact I don’t feel much different to how I felt as a human.” I sighed. “Seems I can’t even get turning vampire right, and I’m going to be some lame half assed one.”
“Like me you mean?” Lucas’s voice was soft.
I groaned. “No, no that wasn’t what I meant. Why is it that any vampires Adrian sires aren’t full blood ones I wonder? I need to either stay up until daybreak or wake early so I can see if the sun is going to make me burn. You are affected by it aren’t you?”
“Yeah, not as bad as if father walked out in the sun without his tattoo but it still hurts badly and I do start to burn. We’ll never get tattooed either being locked up in here.” There was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he spoke and I realised that although he could deny it bothered him to be held prisoner in Adrian’s home, it really did. Or maybe it was just me and my talk of a life outside here that had made him unsettled, no longer satisfied with his life inside this house.
I put my hand on his arm, wanting to distract him from the path his thoughts were on. He wasn’t going to be locked away in this house much longer if I had anything to do with it. Well, it would have everything to do with me. No way would Adrian ever come clean to his family, and I had no intention of living out eternity within the confines of these four walls.
“Please, sing for me Lucas. I’m sorry.” I smiled encouragingly at him, needing to lift him out of the semi depressed state I seemed to have put him in. “I’m not trying to make out we’re inadequate as vampires. I guess I’m just wondering when Adrian will get here, I’m hungry.”
“If you need blood, you can take some of mine.” He said. “It’s not offered as a way into your pants ei
ther. I think we both know, despite you being beautiful, there’s no spark between us. I can’t use you just for the sake of it, plus I know you love my father, our father.” He corrected himself.
So I’d been right, Lucas wasn’t attracted to me either but the rest of what he’d said surprised me. He was wrong. I didn’t feel that way about Adrian. I cared for him but love?
“I don’t love him.” I shook my head as if to reinforce my denial. “It would be pointless to love him because he will never love me. He’s done nothing but push me away. He tells me he can’t have a relationship, not just with me, but with anyone. He can’t have a relationship with anyone because of his job. Maybe he’s lying and he says he can’t have a relationship with anyone because he’s trying to spare my feelings. Perhaps he just doesn’t want me.”
Lucas gave me a look which clearly indicated he didn’t believe anything I was saying. “My father loves you Faith, don’t give up on him. He may not know it yet, but I’ve seen the way he looks at you. That look in his eyes and the look he had when you told him off last night. He looked so hurt, so devastated. He pushes you away because he loves you too much to risk hurting you. That is what I believe. He is not pushing you away because he’s not interested and trying to spare your feelings. He’s different since he met you. Oh he tries to hide it, but I see the changes. They’re subtle. Father has learned the art of hiding his emotions well. But every now and then, I see past his mask, past that front he puts up to the world. I see the angry, hurting, guilt burdened man beneath. I see the pain but most of all, I see that spark in his eyes when he looks at you. That light, that brief moment that he allows himself to feel what it is like to be happy. ” Lucas turned his head until his eyes were locked on mine. “I can feel these emotions in father, Faith. I’ve always felt people’s emotions. Becoming vampire hasn’t taken that ability from me. I merely haven’t had much opportunity to use it lately. I’m what some might refer to as an empath, which simply means, I feel the emotions of others.”
