Passion After Dark

by J. a Melville

  Having that little strip of bare flesh looked ok on me I conceded. I liked my waist, it was small and my stomach was flat. I just thought my boobs were a little too generous and my hips too curvy but I needed to remind myself that Dominick seemed very happy with what he saw.

  He had certainly shown his appreciation last night making love to me tirelessly and in ways I’d never experienced before. It had all been too much for my body and I’d ached horribly this morning but he was right about his blood. Whatever it contained, it had taken away my pain completely and I was more than ready to have him fuck me again. Just thinking about it made my pussy clench with excitement.

  Once I was dressed and my make up done I blow dried my plaited hair and then pulled it out of the plait pleased to see it now falling in soft waves. I swept it all over to one side and pinned it back behind one ear leaving the other side to fall like a curtain over the side of my face and down to past my waist.

  I was finally ready and all I had to do was wait until sunset for Dominick to arrive. While I was aimlessly flicking through channels on the TV Cassie came home and stared at me in amazement.

  “Well you’re all dressed up, for you that is? What’s the occasion?”

  “Dominick’s coming over.” I told her.

  Cassie grinned. “God last night wasn’t enough for you two then? I could hardly get any sleep for the bumping and all the moaning and groaning, not to mention the screaming. I thought he was killing you at first but the ‘Oh my god Dominick,’ kind of told me you didn’t need rescuing, well not unless you can die from an orgasm anyway.”

  “Oh shut up Cass.” I grinned choosing not to point out that it was normally me listening to her having sex. “The man is amazing. God what he can do to me and what I let him do to me.” I sighed.

  “Too much information Allie. Still I’m happy that you’ve found someone who can give you multiple orgasms girl and the man has stamina. What was he doing to you in the study of all things?” She asked and I raised an eyebrow at her. “On second thoughts, don’t bother telling me Allie. The smell of sex coming out of that room was powerful that’s for sure.”

  I blushed even as I smiled to myself. It wasn’t the room that smelt of sex it was me. Why on earth Dominick had to rub his cum all over me I didn’t know. It was like a dog pissing on a lamp post I guess, he wanted to mark what he considers his territory.

  “I’m going to go up and shower quickly Allie. It’s Friday and would you believe I’m not going out? I should because I’m not sure I can endure another night of you two going at it hammer and tongs in your bedroom.”

  “Well Dominick’s had threesomes before Cass.” I told her and her eyes widened.

  “How on earth did that come up in conversation?”

  “He told me this morning when things almost got out of hand in the hallway that he didn’t care if you heard us and saw us so I asked if he’d had a threesome before and he said yes. Obviously more than one as he’s done two men to one woman and two women with him.”

  “Well I’m sorry Allie but if he’s looking for someone to join in then I’m not your girl. I’m kind of a one man girl and I could never lie back and watch another woman doing things to my man or do things to another woman for that matter. I like my cocks too much to change now.” She grinned and hopped up to go upstairs and have her shower.

  I laughed at her comment but Dominick’s words from this morning filled my head. He wouldn’t want her even if she’d been up for a threesome. I wondered why he seemed to have taken an instant disliking to Cassie. The only thing he’d said was she had put him off from hanging around the night I’d met him at the club. Did that mean he held a grudge over something like that? Ok, I was pissed too when I found out that Cassie’s poorly timed arrival had put him off, but he could have come back and he didn’t.

  “Stop with the crap Allegra. You got the man in the end, vampire.” I whispered and pulled myself up to go and get a glass of water.

  Cassie came back downstairs dressed in shorts that barely covered anything and a tank top, her hair damp and I hoped that Dominick wouldn’t look at her petite little body and then mine and realise he’d made a huge mistake and should be with the slimmer prettier one instead.

  I watched as she pulled out a cluster of grapes from the fridge and after putting them in a bowl she headed out to the living room to watch some TV. I followed her back out and was about to sit down again when I heard a knock at the front door and immediately my heart started pounding hard in my chest.

  Holy crap! I was going to see the man who made my knees go weak, who was the most stunning creature I’d ever seen.

  “Are you just going to stand there all night looking like a deer trapped in the headlights or are you going to actually go and let Mr Fuckallnight in the house?” She gave me a cheeky grin and I frowned.

  “Don’t you dare call him that to his face Cass. Behave please. This man is important to me, don’t piss him off.” I warned her before going to open the door.

  When I swung the door open the welcoming smile on my face died. Holy hell, there were more of them and geez what was it with being vampire? Did you have to come from the best gene pools first? Every single one of them was stunning even the girl although she was kind of freaky looking and appeared to be into the Goth look which made me smile at a completely inappropriate moment of course. Stuck as a Goth for all eternity, what a potentially crappy position to be in.

  “Mia bella?” Dominick stepped forward first and cupped my cheek. “Are you alright cara? You’re not feeling unwell perhaps?”

  I cleared my throat and struggled to focus on him, but with the others standing there all staring at me with intense eyes of various shades, that were equally as captivating as Dominick’s, had me temporarily unable to string a sentence together, but I knew I was still smiling and that they had probably all come to the conclusion by now that I was not of sound mind.

  “Jesus Allie what’s taking so long….” Cassie’s voice trailed off when she got to the door and saw all the beautiful people standing on my front porch. “Holy hell.” She gasped and I had to agree with her there.

  “Won’t you invite us all in?” The man with the streaked blonde hair and strange pale greyish blue eyes spoke to me and I shook my head to try and get myself back to reality.

  “Oh god I’m sorry, yes please won’t you all come in?” I stepped aside to give them room to get in and watched somewhat shell shocked as they all filed past me. Dominick stayed by my side and bent down to kiss me briefly.

  “Who are all these people?” I whispered. “Why are they here? They’re all vampires aren’t they?” I asked and he nodded.

  “Fabian just wishes to speak to you cara. Don’t be afraid. No one will hurt you, well Francesca might drive you slightly crazy but she has that affect on everyone.” He raised his voice from a whisper to normal volume when he mentioned the girl I noticed and she turned to him, her lips curling up in a smirk.

  “Don’t tell your girlfriend lies about your little sister Nicky boy. I am actually quite charming.” She said turning her gaze on me.

  Dominick snorted which brought a smile to my lips. Snorts were not what I expected to hear from a vampire and certainly not one as stunningly good looking as he was.

  He groaned when he looked down at me. “I want you so much cara, but we must take care of this first before they will leave us alone, ok?”

  “Come Nicky boy, you will get your end in again, don’t despair.” Francesca’s mocking voice brought our attention off one another and on to her.

  I wasn’t sure where to look as colour flooded my cheeks but a part of me struggled not to burst out laughing at her words. Obviously going by Dominick’s glowering expression she enjoyed teasing him and for someone who normally seemed so composed and in control to me, it was surprising to see how much his sister could stir him up. Was she really his sister or sister by blood? I vaguely remembered him saying something about having relatives but not real brothers and siste
rs, they were all united because Fabian was their sire.

  As I allowed myself to be led into the living room by Dominick my eyes shifted to the man I guessed was Fabian. He had a far more authoritative way about him and it seemed that the other two men with him, Francesca and Dominick all held great respect for him.

  Cassie was staring at them all as if in a trance, her eyes wide and moving from one to the next and I could understand why she was seemingly spellbound by them all. I personally had never seen that many stunningly good looking people all in the one place either.

  She was staring at Fabian whose pale blue grey eyes watched her with a hint of amusement in his gaze when she lifted a hand and attempted to fluff her hair. My guess was she was cursing that she’d made no effort to dry her hair or put on make up after her shower but neither of us had expected anyone other than Dominick to show up at my front door tonight.

  “Can I get you anything to drink?” I asked and when Fabian’s eyes shifted to me with a raised eyebrow, I blushed and mumbled to myself. “Probably not.”

  Dominick introduced them all to Cassie and I and I found out that they were all brothers and sister. Of course I already knew they weren’t really brothers and sister. They were sired by Fabian and that was the connection they shared. I could see they all had the strange barcode styled tattoos on their necks. The tattoo that I already knew gave them the ability to walk in daylight without burning up.

  “I need to speak with you alone Allegra.” Fabian’s voice cut through my thoughts and I turned to him again. Something in his voice was quite commanding and authoritative making me think he probably wasn’t ignored much.

  “Cassie would you mind leaving us for a little while?” I turned to her but Fabian interrupted.

  “It’s not necessary for you to leave.” He spoke quietly to Cassie and something flashed in his eyes, for a brief moment, they changed colour and when I looked over at my house mate, she was sitting stiff and as still as a bloody statue. What the hell had he done to her?

  It’s alright Ms Anderson, your friend is just in a suspended state.” Fabian said and I wondered how he knew my surname. I hadn’t even told Dominick what it was.

  “So what was it you needed to all come here to my home and say Mr?” I looked at him to give me his surname so I’d know what to call him.

  Fabian merely smiled. “Just call me Fabian Ms Anderson. I think we will be seeing a lot of one another eventually.”

  I stared at him wondering just exactly what he meant by that and when his eyes shifted to Dominick who was looking a little uncomfortable I got really curious as to what the silent exchange between them meant.

  “I’m sure you are eager to spend some time alone with my son so I’ll get straight to the point. You know who we are and what we are, what I need to be sure of is that you know that what you know is not for public knowledge. Should you make the mistake of sharing what we are with anyone I will be forced to step in and I can assure you it will end badly. Dominick will lose his right to walk in the daylight and you two will be banned from seeing one another. Should you not take me seriously and try to see one another I will end Dominick’s life Ms Anderson. Do not doubt me on this one. I gave him life, I can easily take it away again.”

  At his words I felt my heart skip a beat and my stomach rolled making me feel nauseous. I looked over at Dominick and tried to imagine him having the life taken from him, for him to be gone forever and the thought of him being no more scared the hell out of me and tears filled my eyes.

  “I see that idea is not to your liking Ms Anderson. It pleases me that you care enough for Nick to feel sorrow at the thought of him being gone from this world and I trust that those feelings will help to remind you how important it is that what we are is never revealed to anyone. I know my son already has strong feelings for you and if you share those feelings then you know what you have to do to keep him safe and keep him in your life.”

  I met Fabian’s strange pale eyes and the warning in them and in his voice were clear. Any clearer and he might as well club me over the head with it. I couldn’t imagine losing Dominick and the thought had never occurred to me to tell anyone what he was not even Cassie. In all reality, who would believe me?

  “It has never even crossed my mind to reveal what Dominick is to anyone Fabian. To be honest, who would believe me anyway? Vampires in this world, today? I think most people would think I was crazy. Vampires are the stuff of movies and TV shows, not real life.” I told him quietly.

  “Perhaps you may be right Ms Anderson, but I just want to be sure you’re clear on the penalty for exposing us to others. There is no compromise or forgiveness and don’t make the mistake of testing me on this one. Dominick will pay for your indiscretions, of that you can be certain.”

  “Oh Fabian, you do go on. I think the girl gets it ok? Can we go now? I’m bored. There are so many better things I could be doing than sitting here in this human’s home while you read her the riot act.” Francesca interrupted and she stood pacing the room. “I want to go and feed or I’ll end up trying one of these ones out.” She turned to me before her eyes shifted to Cassie who still sat, held in some kind of suspended state, oblivious to all going on around her. She grinned at me when I lifted my chin, staring at her defiantly and refused to back down under her mocking stare. “Ooh I like this one Nicky boy. She’s got spunk. Maybe having her around forever won’t be so bad after all.”

  I gaped at her. What did she mean I’d be around forever? I looked at her and then Dominick when Francesca’s eyes shifted to him. She laughed at his expression and I wondered what the hell was going on between them but Dominick looked ready to throttle her.

  “Come now you two.” Fabian’s voice interrupted them. “Stop stirring your brother Fran and I agree, it’s time to leave now. I think Ms Anderson understands me and my request, don’t you?” He turned to me, those strange pale eyes boring into me and I nodded. “Very well, we shall take our leave and you and Nick can do whatever you had planned.”

  I heard Francesca snicker. “Oh I think we all know what Nicky boy’s going to be doing with his human.” She laughed and this time even I glared at her too when Dominick turned the full brunt of his stunning blue eyes on her which I could see were burning brightly with anger.

  “Francesca please stop with this childish behaviour towards your brother. Come Damien and Lucian, we will leave them alone now. You may join us again.” I watched as he turned to Cassie and something flashed in his eyes again which immediately brought her out of the trance like state she’d been in.

  She blinked a few times and looked around at everyone in surprise as she tried to clear her head. “God, did I fall asleep? I’m so sorry, I had an early start today at work and I must have been more tired than I realised.”

  “It’s alright, we were just leaving anyway Miss Morris, please don’t concern yourself. Perhaps an early night would be beneficial to you.” Fabian said, his expression filled with concern that I knew he wasn’t really feeling. It was all part of the act to conceal what had really happened to her.

  I watched with relief when they all stood and made their way to the door. I got up too and opened it wide, watching as they all stepped outside except for Dominick who stayed by my side, his arm resting lightly on my waist.

  Once they had walked down the stairs and out to the car which looked like a Rolls Royce from what I could see under the street lights, climbed in and finally driven away, did I breathe a sigh of relief and turn to Dominick, falling into his arms.

  “I’m so sorry cara that you were forced to endure that but Fabian deceived me. He was supposed to meet me at my home and I was to bring you there. I’m not sure if he didn’t trust me or he wanted to go with the element of surprise and deny me the opportunity to warn you of what was to come.” Dominick cupped my cheek. “I have missed you mia bella and I pray that you have missed me too?”

  “I have Dominick and I hope to hell that I never have to go through something like that again.
Fabian is creepy and those eyes of his feel like they were staring right through me, like he could see my soul.”

  “Fabian is alright cara. He is very good to us but he does have a few basic rules which he expects us to follow. He is not going to stand in the way of you and I although he was understandably concerned that I have chosen to pursue a relationship with a human rather than a vampire and his concerns are valid in his mind. He had to be sure that you will never tell anyone about me or the rest of us for that matter and he had to persuade you to comply and telling you that my life is riding on your continued discretion is his way of making sure that happens. That is of course if it would truly bring you sorrow should I have my life taken from me in a way that will be final?”

  I looked up into his handsome, incredibly gorgeous face with those eyes that captivated me and I shuddered at the thought of him being gone to me forever. “I could think of nothing worse Dominick. Now are we going to stand here all night in the hallway or go upstairs?”

  I watched as his eyes filled with desire. “Oh please cara. The idea of taking you upstairs, removing your clothing and fucking you until you scream with pleasure before I fuck you again and have you begging for mercy certainly sounds far more appealing than standing in your hallway bellezza.”

  “Hey are you two just going to stand whispering to one another near the front door all night or discover there’s actually more house than just the hallway? You don’t have some kind of kinky hallway fetish going do you?” Cassie’s voice suddenly called out to us and I couldn’t help it, I burst out laughing.

  Dominick’s eyes moved over my face as I laughed and they lit up with such intensity that they appeared to glow. A slow smile spread over his stunning face and he cupped my jaw in his hand. “I love to hear you laugh cara. It is such a beautiful sound from a beautiful woman. You should do it more often mia bella.”
