“Well do something about it then. You leave tomorrow, if you want her you need to make your move, and soon.”
*****
“Did you like my routine?” Amber asked as they walked back up to the suite after she had changed. Their arrangement was over but he still wanted her near, so had told her she could continue to stay in the suite until his departure.
“You were fantastic darling as always and I can’t wait to get you alone so I can have one last private show,” smiling at her wickedly. As soon as the door shut behind him he grabbed her, hauling her up over his shoulder causing her to gasp in shock before she began laughing as he sped through the door to her room. Placing her on her feet at the foot of the bed he quickly stripped himself naked and made himself at home on the bed, his hands behind his head as he leaned back against the headboard. “So what’s on the cards for tonight?” he asked.
“Well,” undoing the button and zipper on her jeans before removing them completely. One again she had decided to go without underwear, and oh he was glad. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I think a little more of last night might be a good idea.” Pulling off her tank top so she stood naked before him.
“Really? So you enjoyed yourself?”
“You know I did,” she said climbing up onto the bed and crawling towards him, her lush breasts swinging seductively before him. Settling herself between his open legs she ran her hands up and down his legs drawing ever closer to his cock, his breath hitching as her hands finally reached to grasp him. Wrapping her hand around the tip she rubbed the escaped bead of pre-come with her thumb over the head, spreading the glistening bead around and down his rigid length. Their eyes locking as she lowered to lay between his thighs and lick her way up from the base of his shaft back to the tip. Taking him into her mouth she sucked lightly, swirling her tongue round the tip before taking him into her mouth completely. The feel of her hot mouth on his cock had him moaning in approval. Grasping her hair he began to pump his hips fucking her mouth, driving his cock deep.
“Hell Amber.”
He could feel her smile around his shaft. He was close, his balls drawn up tight as he pumped his hips faster until he could take no more and he came hard, coating her tongue and throat with his seed.

As Lochlann came in her mouth his eyes widened, pupils dilating, and his fangs descending before disappearing back into his gums. Lapping up every last drop of his salty sweet tasting completion she rose onto her knees. He hadn’t seemed to realise that she had seen his fangs and she was surprised that it hadn’t scared her. Instead she found herself more than ever wondering what it would feel like. She wanted to know, wanted to let him feed from her as their bodies came together.
Suddenly she found herself flat on her back, Lochlann having moved quickly, too quickly for her to see in her distraction, to push her down. Forcing her thighs open with his knee he ran his hand down over her body tweaking her nipples on the way. The first touch of his talented fingers had her gasping.
“You’re so ready for me, so wet.”
Holding himself up on his hands he aligned himself with her wet pussy. Pushing in inch by inch, stretching her until he was fully seated in her hot depths. Groaning in pleasure he began to thrust deeply in and out increasing his power and speed.
Her climax was building quickly, every thrust driving her closer and closer to release. But there was something she needed to say, something she needed to offer before she reached the peak and fell over the edge.
“Lochlann,” she gasped gripping his shoulders, arching her neck in offering. “Take my blood. I want you to feed from me.”
His eyes finding hers she could see the hunger, the longing for it, for what she was offering. But also she could see the doubt. He didn’t want to hurt her, didn’t want to do anything she wasn’t happy with. That was why he held himself away from her, she knew it was but she was certain this was right. Certain that she wanted to do this. “Please Lochlann, I'm close.”
Leaning down he kissed her deeply stealing her breath. Running his lips across her jaw he breathed against her ear, “are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Angling his hips he began pounding harder, hitting that sweet sensitive spot inside, pushing her over the edge as his mouth came down upon her neck. She felt a sharp sting as his fangs broke the skin then it was nothing but bliss. Her orgasm peeked higher than ever before. She heard her voice screaming his name over and over before the world started to spin away from her and she feel into peaceful darkness.
*****
Heaven, pure heaven, that’s was what Amber tasted like. Her climax filling his body with life. As the first drop of her sweet tasting blood had hit his tongue he found his own release, filling her tight moist pussy with his come. He kept feeding as she rode out her orgasm. As he felt her body calm and slip away into slumber he pulled away licking the two small wounds to help them heal. It was natural for humans to sleep after their first few feedings.
Rolling off her he pulled the covers over them both and pulled her against his chest. This was how life should be, he thought. This was how it should always be.
Chapter 7
She couldn’t stand it. Watching him packing his stuff up was killing her. She loved him there was no denying it now. He had stolen her heart and his leaving was going to leave a huge hole in her chest where it was meant to be. Her eyes were swimming with unshed tears which she was fighting to hold back. He hadn’t asked her to go with him, hadn’t offered her anything more than hot blinding passionate sex. She hadn’t expected him to but a part of her had been secretly hoping that he would want to keep her. She wasn’t ‘Owned’, he couldn’t buy her like he could others but still she had hoped.
Sensing her growing sadness, “Amber what is wrong?” he said turning away from the bed to face her.
“Nothing,” she stuttered. “I'm fine.”
“You are far from fine.” Walking over to her and gathering her in his arms. Nuzzling her head into his chest she breathed him in remembering his cradling her in his arms the night before as he had kissed her neck over and over. A sob broke through and the tears began to fall. “Please sweetheart I cannot bare to see you like this, talk to me.”
“I can’t stand it.”
“Stand what?”
“You leaving… it hurts…” she knew she was rambling but couldn’t stop, now that she had started speaking the truth of her feelings there was no stopping it. “I have fallen in love with you Lochlann… I love you.” Lifting her head to look at him, not knowing what she would see in his eyes when she did. Her breath ceased in her throat as she was met with a blinding smile, his eyes glowing with happiness.
“I love you too Amber.” Wiping away the tears still running down her face, “how could I not. You have brought me back to life, given me a reason to exist again. I have spent the past few decades questioning everything, questioning if it was worth continuing with this never ending life. I never left my home. I locked myself away from the world. It had lost all its colour and beauty, I saw nothing but grey. Then Tristan persuaded me to come here and talk to Marcy about a new life away from here. I was fine with the offer, I have always been fond of her but I wasn’t excited about the visit. Then on my first night here he talked me into sitting in the club for the show. Every girl I saw on the stage bored me, I saw nothing but food. Then you appeared and for the first time in a long time I saw colour again. I was mesmerised by you instantly. After that I lived to watch you dance. Every night I would sit in my booth and wait for you to appear, to breathe life back into me.” Leaning down he captured her lips in a slow gentle kiss, her legs going weak.
“But your still leaving aren’t you?”
“I have to sweetheart. I have a home that has been neglected by me for far too long and Marcy to get settled in.” Her eyes casting down as a new wave of tears threatened. His fingers moved under her chin and he lifted her eyes back up to his. “But if you think that now you have told me
that you feel as deeply as I do that I am going to allow you to stay here, to dance for anyone but me then you have another thing coming. Come with me Amber, become my mate, live by my side for eternity.”
“Your mate?” her eyes widening in shock and fear. Did she want to live forever? Be a vampire? She wasn’t sure about that.
“I won’t turn you against your will Amber, the choice is completely yours. If you want to remain human and live out your life as a human then I am fine with that. I just want to be by your side for as long as I can be.”
“But I would die and you would be alone.”
His eyes clouding with sadness, “that you would and I do not know what would happen to me after that I will not lie to you. But I would have decades by your side before then, decades I would treasure. Listen, don’t answer me now, take as long as you need to decide if you want to become like me, we have plenty to time. But please say you will be my mate. Please say you will come with me.”
She didn’t know if she would allow him to turn her but she knew that there was no way in hell she could live without him. “Yes Lochlann, I will come with you.”
Walking him backwards she pushed him down onto the bed, climbing up to straddle him. She knew that she wasn’t strong enough for her to have knocked him off his feet but it just showed her how much he cared for her that he went down like he did. Fisting his hair in her hands she kissed him deeply their tongues dancing as they began removing each other’s clothes. She didn’t want to mess around with foreplay tonight, she needed him, need to feel him deep inside her. Lifting up she reached down and grasped his length, pumping it slowly with her hand and spreading the drop of pre-cum around his swollen head before lining their bodies up so he was posed at her entrance. Slowly she pushed down taking him into her body. He filled her perfectly. As she moved upon him the friction building her higher and higher, lighting a fire deep inside her, his hands grasping her waist as he thrust up to meet her movements.
“Lochlann,” she gasped. As she neared the brink she pulled her hair away from her neck to offer him her blood. “Feed from me Lochlann, taste my love for you.”
Pushing up with his elbows he feasted on her mouth before running his lips over her jaw and down her neck licking and nibbling. She shuddered as she felt his fangs scrap against her skin but it was from pleasure now not fear, she knew that his bite would bring her nothing but pleasure, would push her to an orgasm like no other and bring him great pleasure too. As his fangs pierced her neck she flew over the edge, the whole world spiralling away from her as she screamed his name.
As she came down to orbit she realised that she was no longer sat stride him, instead she was now on her side, Lochlann facing her, stroking the hair out of her eyes smiling at her.
“You ok sweetheart?” he asked, “You back with me?”
Slightly embarrassed that she had once again passed out she nodded causing him to frown at her, “I’m fine, just a little embarrassed that I blanked out again. Will that happen every time?”
“I doubt it, your body isn’t use to the endorphins that my bite creates but eventually it won’t knock you out like that. But if you want to stop feeding me all you have to do is tell me, I will completely understand.”
“No Lochlann I want to do this, I hate the thought of you feeding from others. Promise me that from now on I'm the only person you bite?”
“Promise,” he whispered before taking her mouth again and she was lost to everything but him.
*****
Lochlann went to talk to Tristan leaving Amber asleep in his bed. He hated the thought that he may not be there when she awoke but while Tristan was not her owner he was her boss and there was no way he could take what he considered his best dancer away from him without talking to him about it first.
“Marcy all packed up?” he asked entering the office.
“That she is, though she is still faffing around worrying about forgetting something or taking something that she is not allowed. I must have had a dozen calls from her during the day asking if it was ok to take this or that,” he laughed. “I'm glad she decided to take up the offer. She’ll be able to keep an eye on you for me, stop you from locking yourself away again.”
“I won’t be doing that I can assure you. I’ve asked Amber to be my mate.”
A smile forming at the corner of Tristan’s mouth, “have you now?”
“You don’t seem surprised.”
“Of course I'm not, I had a feeling this would be the end result when you asked me if you could hire her. I just didn’t know if she would except or not.” His eyebrow raising in question.
“She has accepted to joining me yes.”
“But not to be your immortal mate?”
“She is unsure as to whether she wants to become immortal, but that is a choice only she can make. I will not force her. She was only able to give herself to me completely last night, to offer me her blood. This time a week ago the idea repulsed her. Hopefully one day she will accept the offer to be my immortal mate, but even if she does not a decade with her alone would be heaven.” He wouldn’t think about what would happen one day or at least try not to, the thought of her death made his blood turn to ice. It would destroy him to lose her but he would not try to sway her decision, it was her choice to make and hers alone.
“Well I hope that she does decide to take the ultimate bite, I really do.” Tristan’s eyes glazing over in an ancient pain that Lochlann hated to see. Shaking his head of his dark thoughts he continued, “So I take it you have come to me to ask for me to release her from my employment?”
“She will never dance before others again, only me.”
Opening the filing cabinet behind him Tristan pulled out Amber’s contract and another form. “She just needs to fill this form out and she’ll be off the books. I’ve hired a van to transport Marcy’s stuff to your place. There is a little room left but not much. Let me know if we need another van for Amber’s things.”
Nodding in thanks Lochlann left and made his way back up to his suite, smiling when he found her still sleeping soundly in his bed.
“So after I fill this out I'm free to go? I know I'm not ‘Owned’ but I signed a 3 year contract,” she asked after Lochlann had explained about his visit with Tristan.
They were sat at the table as Amber finished her meal. She hadn’t wanted to get out of bed, she just wanted to stay there forever with him, his cock buried deep inside her. But he had refused all her advances, after feeding him twice she needed to eat, especially if she was going to keep doing so.
“Tristan is a dear friend of mine Amber, and no matter how he may seem at times he is not cruel, he would never deny me my mate.” His eyes glowing with happiness as he said the word. After all this time he had actually found her. He wasn’t going to be alone anymore. He had Amber, forever… or at least he hoped he did. “Anyway sweetheart we will be leaving before sunrise and we need you all packed up and ready to go. Tristan says he can have another van sorted for your things.”
“Oh its ok, I haven’t got much stuff, there is really no need.”
“Don’t you want to come with me? Have you changed your mind?”
“What? No of course I haven’t it just… I don’t really have much,” she explained rising from the table.
“Ok so we don’t need the extra van, but we still need to get your things from your place.” Placing his hand on her lower back and beginning to steer her towards the door. He could feel her resisting, her feet planting firmly on the floor. There was no way she was strong enough stop his progress but he halted anyway.
“Mmm… there’s no need to go anywhere… I'm kind of already packed.”
“Are you that desperate to get me back home and christen our house.” For it was their house now, she was his mate and everything that was his he now willingly shared with her.
“No Lochlann, while I really am looking forward to that, that is not the reason that my stuff is already packed.” Thanking a deep calming breath, �
�I was asked to leave the bedsit the other night. Everything I own is in boxes in my car outside.”
Why hadn’t he known this? Why hadn’t she told him? Or Tristan? Unless he didn’t know either. He couldn’t have otherwise he would have done something about it, given her somewhere to stay. But that was the problem. If she had told Tristan he would have helped her, which would have given him a little power over her, or at least that is what she would think. Lochlann knew better than that. Tristan may be cunning and tricky when it came to his favours, but he wouldn’t have held that over her. No he only asked for ‘Ownership’ if he thought the person could not be trusted to take care of their own lives. “So where were you planning on going? Please tell me you had a plan, that you had somewhere to stay after I left here.”
Biting her bottom lip looking guilty, “well not until the other night. I spoke to Beth and she offered me her spare room. Her roommate moved out a while back and she has been struggling to find someone else.” Well at least that was something but she had been lucky. He dreaded to think what would have happene
d if she hadn’t admitted her true feelings to him and Beth hadn’t offered her somewhere.
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me any of this. Well at least we haven’t got to go and pack you up, but you must promise to tell me everything from now on. We are mates there should be no secrets between us, understand? I love you Amber and I want to trust you but you must trust me too.”
“You know I do,” she smiled angling her neck to the side giving him a glimpse at the bite marks just under the collar of her shirt. It was hard to remain upset with her.
“I can’t wait to get you back to my bed and feast on your body again, I want to taste everything.” His eyes sparkling with promise.

“You’re sure about this Amber? Sure this is what you really want?” Beth asked.
