“In a few years’ time we will become grandparents when your son or daughter have children. And then I will have no choice but spend time with babies. But for god’s sake woman when that happens I don’t ever want to be made to change one. I remember Josh making me hold Keeley’s little girl when she was a baby. She pulled a face and shit straight through her nappy and sleep suit. It was bright fucking yellow and was all over my t-shirt. It went right up her back in to her hair. Everybody laughed and they left her in my arms until Keeley got all the baby stuff out of her bag so she could change her. She offered to wash my t-shirt but I just binned it. There was no way I wanted that back.”
Gina was laughing now thank god. I never wanted to think that she wasn’t enough for me.
She was it for me for god’s sake. As she opened up our bond I told her this and she told me she felt the same.
“I’ve told you this Gina, time and time again. Like I told you for all those wasted years before we bonded. I could have been a father to your children then. I would have loved you like you wanted and needed to be loved. But you doubted my love and commitment even then. What will it take for you to believe that in my eyes, we as a couple are perfection just as we are?”
I moved Gina off my lap and went to get my iPod. I scrolled through the songs and selected what I wanted, then put my iPod in the docking station and pulled Gina up from the bed into my arms just as the song started.
I began singing along with Billy Joel as we slow danced cheek to cheek.
Don't go changing, to try and please me, You never let me down before, Don't imagine, you're too familiar, And I don't see you anymore. I would not leave you, in times of trouble, We never could have come this far, I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are. Don't go trying, some new fashion, Don't change the colour of your hair, You always have my, unspoken passion, Although I might not seem to care. I don't want clever, conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone, that I can talk to, I want you just the way you are. I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew, What will it take till you believe in me, The way that I believe in you? I said I love you, and that's forever, And this I promise from the heart, I couldn't love you, any better, I love you just the way you are.
I don't want clever, conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone, that I can talk to, I want you just the way you are
I twirled her around at the end of the song then brought her back into my arms and kissed her softly. Gina deepened the kissed then reached between us to open the buttons on my jeans. I stilled her hand and pulled away from her a fraction so I could look into her eyes. The look I saw told me exactly what she needed, and I was only too happy to oblige.
“Nik what were you planning on doing with that tape and your belt when you came into the bedroom,” Gina asked, but she didn’t meet my gaze.
This shy side of Gina was something that seemed to war with her bold and brazen side. I was lucky that my woman loved sex, and she especially loved a little kink with her sex. We had tried a little bondage which we both really enjoyed, and last week we did some online shopping and bought a pair of nipple clamps and a vibrating cock ring.
The nipple clamps really did it for Gina, and I have to say that I loved seeing the jewelled clamps jiggling on her boobs as I fucked her hard.
“Gina, strip for me and get on the bed, on your back with your hands above your head.”
My good little woman obeyed my command and began to strip. As she crawled up the bed I dropped my jeans, and as I was going commando this left me naked. I picked up the tape and crawled up the bed towards her. As she raised her arms above her head, I traced the shape of her breasts with my tongue, her moan went straight to my solid as marble cock.
I loved the sounds of pleasure that came from Gina when we were intimate. It made me want to please her even more and stoked my ego no end.
She said she was making up for lost time and was enjoying everything we did together. I had always been quite dominant in bed and I was glad that Gina liked that side of me.
I took the insulating tape and bound Gina’s wrists together. The black tape stood out against her pale skin and turned me on even more. I looped my belt through the bars on the headboard back through her bound wrists in a loop then asked through our bond if the tape was too tight. She shook her head and licked her lips. This action prompted me to straddle her chest and drag my cock up her neck towards her mouth. She licked the head of my cock and the opened her mouth to take me inside.
I lifted her head so she could take me further but I kept my thrusting shallow and steady so that I didn’t cause her to gag.
Gina loved to suck my cock, she hummed her enjoyment and it vibrated down to my balls. I took my cock out of her mouth and she whimpered. “Sshh baby. I have something else for you,” I said as leaned further forward with my balls above her mouth. She lapped the underside and then drew my balls into her lush mouth one at a time. Fuck me that felt so good. She had a wicked tongue and laved the whole area and the moved to bite the inside of my thigh, just like I did to her. The only different was, she didn’t pierce my skin and drink my blood.
“Enough,” I groaned. I moved down her body so I could return the oral worship, kissing from her breasts to her slit. I lapped her long and hard from the skin between her arse and her sex, right up to the top of her mound. She was dripping wet and I lapped it up, loving her taste as I always did. Her pretty pink pearl stood out proud from the hood and I swirled my tongue around it gently, but without stopping until Gina’s moans became louder, and she began to pull away from me. I held her still and sucked her clit hard. She came all over my face and I lapped it up. I loved Gina’s taste anyway, but after she came it was the sweetest, tastiest cream I had ever had, and I couldn’t get enough.
I turned my head to the side and bit into her femoral artery at the same time as I thrust two fingers inside her. She came again and I truly didn’t know whether or not to carry on drinking her blood or lap up her cream.
“Nik, please fuck me,” Gina begged, panting and bucking her hips.
I lapped at the bite on her thigh, ran my tongue through her folds and then pushed myself up the bed to kiss her roughly.
She groaned when she tasted herself on my tongue and lips. And I thrust my tongue into her mouth at the same time as I thrust my throbbing cock inside her.
I yelled her name as I started to move inside her. I wanted to fuck her hard but I was almost ready to come after less than a minute, so I slowed my pace and gave myself time to recover.
“Untie me Nik.” Said Gina breathlessly.
I reached up and extended my nails into claws, and I cut through the tape carefully.
Gina flexed her arms and wrists, then put her arms around my back.
I moved in that steady rhythm which was always guaranteed to make her come. The trouble was I was so far gone by now that I couldn’t hold off much longer. I was inside her to the hilt and as soon as I felt her orgasm hit, I came with an unholy roar which seemed to go on forever.
“I love you Gina,” I said as I tried to steady my breathing. The words didn’t seem to be enough but I said them anyway.
“I love you too Nik, more than ever. You have made my life complete.” Now why didn’t I say that? Women seemed to be a lot better with words than men, but I hoped Gina could tell that she would always be my world.
“Come on woman, let’s get a shower. I need to get this paint off my chest hair,” I said as I rolled her over and slapped her arse.
“Only if you promise to make it worth my while she said getting up and stretching. So I slapped her bottom once again but harder this time which caused her to yelp. I loved to watch her arse jiggle with each slap and my cock started to twitch again with the visual of my red handprint on each cheek.
Gina looked down at my rapidly rising cock and smiled.
I think this was going to be a very enjoyable shower,
and I hope there was enough hot water as I knew we wouldn’t be out of it for some time.
Chapter 39
Julia
Freya had called on Monday to let me know that she would be bringing me the ring I had made for Alex today. It was now Friday and I had been both excited and nervous about my upcoming proposal to Alex since then.
My mood seemed to have rubbed off on Alex also, as he seemed to be behaving in the same giddy loved up way as me.
Of course we were both so thrilled about my pregnancy that life just couldn’t be any better at the moment.
I called in to see Gina and Nik to check out how their new furniture looked on Tuesday afternoon, and I told her that I was planning on proposing to Alex when Freya brought the ring. We discussed different ways I could do it and Gina gave me a great Idea.
She told me that when we had gone to see her and Nik to tell them about my pregnancy, she had become worried that Nik would also want a child. Because Gina had had a hysterectomy a few years ago she obviously wouldn’t be able to get pregnant, so she had felt like she was letting Nik down.
Nik had reassured her that he didn’t want children and then he had sung the Billy Joel song ‘Just the way you are,’ to her. Apparently Nik was a really good singer and had sang it all while dancing with her. She told me it had melted her heart instantly and she felt so loved and valued that she had stopped questioning his love and feelings for her since then.
So the fact that Nik Harding was a big romantic came as a shock. That tall, good looking hunk of man flesh was just about everything a woman could want in a man by the sounds of it.
All women apart from me of course. I had my sexy blond Viking to drool over.
But hearing what Nik did gave me an idea regarding my proposal. I wouldn’t sing to Alex as to be honest my voice isn’t that great. Oh who am I kidding? It’s actually terrible. And apart from my drunken karaoke episode on the works night out I tended to avoid singing in public.
But I thought compiling a list of love songs that would be playing in the background whilst I proposed would be a good Idea. Gina gave me Nik’s iPod to borrow so that I could browse through all the different love songs. Nik’s song collection was enormous and I was sure that I would find quite a few that I liked or had words that I wanted to say in them.
I decided that I would cook a main course and desert, and propose first, before we ate. Gina and I bounced Ideas of each other about the menu and we decided on beef cobbler and some profiteroles from Mr Singh’s shop that came highly recommended by Gina.
Freya had dropped the ring in to me earlier and I absolutely loved it. But just handing over a box with a ring in it then getting down on one knee seemed just too much a classic proposal to me. I looked on the internet for some Ideas but they nearly all seemed to involve flowers or putting the ring in a glass. Then I happened upon an advert for helium balloons. I thought about weighting a helium balloon down with the ring box as well as a champagne weight.
Getting a clear picture in my mind of what I needed I rang the florist’s across from the Red Lion in the village and told them what I wanted. It was decided that I would have a dozen red roses in a vase with a red heart helium balloon with a gold ribbon and the champagne weight I had envisaged. I also put a call in to Mel at the red lion for a bottle of champagne. I wouldn’t be able to drink it but Alex would celebrate for us both I’m sure.
Alex had gone out to a meeting, Nik and Sergei were out with Freya and Gregor at his new home to see plans for the next stage of building work. Josh was at home because it was still early in the day for him so that just left me who could drive.
Gina was out with her son today so I wouldn’t disturb her to come with me. I know that people would probably want to shout at me for going out without telling anyone but I needed to go as soon as I could to collect it, so that I could get back and finish cooking our meal.
Also if I had opted for the florist to deliver, people would know I had something delivered and may ask Alex about it. That was the trouble with living alongside of work and between Nik and Josh. We had very little privacy unless we were behind closed doors.
I decided that I would go now, quickly, and be back before no one had noticed that I had even left.
So I threw my car keys, purse and mobile phone into my new Kipling cross body bag that mum said was way too patterned and colourful for her liking. Then I got in my car, put on my favourite cd, and drove the short distance to the florists.
I pulled up outside the shop and was immediately struck by the Christmas display in the window. It wouldn’t be long until the big day was upon us. Less than six weeks to go and I hadn’t even thought of any gifts.
My life and the important people in it had changed so dramatically over the last nine months and I became a little distracted with the memories.
The crisp November air began to bite into my fingers so I left my melancholy moment with the window display outside the shop and went inside to plan for my future.
Chloe the florist was an absolute star who listened to everything I had to say and began putting together a balloon masterpiece.
The main balloon was a deep red shiny heart and attached to that was a plaited bronze and pewter coloured ribbon. Then instead of the champagne bottle weight I had originally asked for, Chloe suggested a small dark grey wicker basket that I could put the ring box in. She also did two miniatures of the larger balloon an placed them on sticks to slot onto the dozen red roses along with white gypsophila which she called baby’s breath. I touched my lower tummy when she said that. I was determined that I would feel this baby’s breath upon my skin as I held them. No one would take that away from me this time around.
As I turned to pay for my items I caught a beautiful scent which came from candle’s to the left of the till area. They were by a famous brand which my mum liked to use, but the name on this one made me smile. It was called first Christmas.
I bought two of them, one for Alex and me, and one for Nik and Gina as it was their first Christmas together too. I wondered if Alex trimmed up at Christmas. I certainly would be trimming up the cottage regardless. There was nothing prettier than twinkling Christmas lights and decorations to welcome you home on a cold winter’s night.
Chloe said she was in the process of bringing more decorations and lights in to the store over the next couple of days and I promised her I would call back in to take a look.
She joked that the ‘Santa Please Stop Here’ signs would probably be her biggest sellers when the children saw them. I thought of Alex, Josh and Nik and their playful office banter with Maggie, and I added a mini Christmas tree that had snow spray on it plus one of the Santa signs to my growing list of purchases. The sign was about a foot in length and was all metal with a spiked end. It had a vintage look to it with muted colours and that stopped the sign looking too babyish.
After I had paid for everything I popped the sign in my bag along with the candles and Chloe helped carry the flowers and balloon to my car.
Once everything was loaded into the car boot I popped over to the Red Lion to get the champagne from Mel. The Draymen had just pulled away so I popped round the back of the pub to where the cellar opened up to the outside.
I shouted down to Mel who told me to come down.
Just before I was two steps from the cellar floor I heard a noise behind me. Before I could turn to check it out a large hand covered my mouth and a strong arm grabbed me around my waist.
I didn’t need to see them to know who it was and for a moment I stilled as panic swept through me. But as quickly as that happened it began to disappear and was replaced by anger. I kicked out and jabbed my elbows into the vampires sides but he laughed and said, “I knew you would fight me little female, but you need to know that as a mere human you will not cause harm to me, so your resistance is futile.”
His English was heavily accented in either German or Scandinavian and it made me think of how the actors who played Germans in old war movies spoke. I cou
ldn’t help but to laugh at that thought and the vampire released me from his grip.
I turned around and got my first really good look at the vampire we knew as Brian Vargan. He was well over six feet tall and was extremely handsome with classical features and deep blue eyes. He had broad shoulders and if he was human I would have said he lived at the Gym to get a frame like he had. He wore a black leather jacket and blue jeans which looked too casual for him.
“Like what you see?” He questioned with a smug look.
“Not really,” I answered truthfully. “I don’t think this look works for you Brandr.”
He gasped and took a step back from me, and that’s when I knew that Alex was right when he tried to identify this vampire.
Not two seconds later Mel came forward and tried to wallop him around the head with what I suspected to be the bottle of champagne I was going to buy. But Brandr was too quick and grabbed the bottle with vampire speed, and he punched Mel hard enough that she dropped head first to the hard concrete floor and didn’t move.
I scrambled down to the floor after her, turning her face towards me, and noticed the blood coming from grazing at her temple and hairline. I tried to feel for a pulse but my own heart was beating so fast that I couldn’t tell if hers was faint or strong.
Brandr pulled me away from Mel and I thought I saw her eyes open slightly as I was dragged away.
With a fierce grip to my ponytail and the collar of my coat I was pulled quickly towards the some stairs which I found led up to an area behind the main bar. I lost my footing as my feet stumbled over the bottles that had yet to be put away from the recent delivery, but Brandr only held on tighter to my hair and coat, not caring about what I bumped in to. He didn’t stop until we were in the main bar and he threw me down on one the bench’s next to the juke box. I still wore the cross body bag and the candles knocked together against my side and I thought I heard one smash.
