Page 50 of Love Lives
And then he went for my other thigh. The second bite lasted just a second longer than then first one had. Just long enough to almost pull me down into that trance-like state where I lost myself before tossing me back to reality.
My cock grew so hard it ached.
"You like that." I heard the grin in Aldrich's voice even though my eyes were closed. There was more than just amusement, though. Desire too. He ran a finger down the length of my cock, as if admiring it. Arousal pulsed through me again, and then I moaned as Aldrich's lips wrapped around me.
It wasn't the first blowjob I'd ever received, but it kind offeltlike it anyway. So much so that I wondered why the hell I'd waited this long to jump into bed with Aldrich anyway.
Because he's a vampire and he's insufferable?a quiet voice in my brain reminded me. I told it to shut up. My brain was way past functioning normally, anyway. How could it, while Aldrich was taking me as deeply down his throat as he could? I drew a shuddering breath, riding the wave of pleasure that crashed over me.
Aldrich sucked, and I made a noise that I wasn't proud of, but it only seemed to edge him on further--and just when I wasn't sure how more I could take, he let me slide out of his mouth. I was about to complain, when he kissed my thigh again. That was all the warning I got before he bit me once more.
My mind blanked and pure white faded out my vision. My cock twitched as if straining for touch. The lightest caress would have been enough to get me off. I was sure of it. Ineededit. But Aldrich didn't touch me. He only drank.I wanted to yell at him, but I couldn't speak, could only hold on to the last threads of my sanity as his lips sucked blood from my thigh.
When he stopped drinking, I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or not. The sensation had been too intense to bear, but at the same time, I'd never wanted it to stop. My mind was still muddled as Aldrich turned his attention back to my poor cock. He took me in his mouth again. My hips jerked. A low whine escaped my throat. My balls drew tight. He swallowed around me. I came with a cry so needy it would have embarrassed me at any other point in my life. There was no room for embarrassment here, though. There was only white-hot pleasure. A force that washed over me and took everything out of me. Every ounce of self-consciousness, and every bit of tension. My body was completely limp by the time it was over, boneless.
Aldrich climbed up to lie next to me. I got the urge to reciprocate the gesture, but honestly? I was too exhausted. When I blinked my eyes open at the vampire, though, he was smiling.
"If I'd known that all it would take was a dinner..." he mused, self-satisfaction evident in his voice.
"Wasn't just the dinner," I murmured.
"Sure, it's also my natural charm and winning personality."
I found the energy to scoff at him. "Come here." With one arm, I drew him closer so I could kiss him. He pressed himself against me, our bodies molding together. The hardness of his arousal poked my thigh. I reached down for it, taking him in my hand. He drew a sharp breath. I squeezed. It was an odd feeling, holding another man's dick in my hand, but I enjoyed what it did to him. The way he squirmed against me as I jerked him. It wasn't anything like what he'd done for me, of course, but it seemed that wasn't necessary anyway. He came within a minute flat, coating my fingers with hot semen and panting in my ear.
For a moment, we just lay there, breathing each other in.
Aldrich was the first to speak again, because he could never stay quiet for too long. "Do you need to refill on blood?"
"No. Not gonna get up."
"I could--"
"Nope." I tightened my grip on him to keep him in place. "You're not moving either." If either of us moved, the motion would shatter the serenity of this moment. I’d have to start thinking again, and I wasn’t quite ready for that yet.
"You know I could easily break your grip."
"Yeah, but you won't." My eyes drifted shut, even as I spoke. "That's why you're my Velcro vampire."
"Whatever you say, squishy"
I smiled as I fell asleep, holding my vampire close. If only things could always be this easy.
Chapter Nineteen
The feeble hopeI'd had for an easy future shattered once my dreams began. I didn't dream of Atlus and Cyril that night. I almost wished I had. That would have been easier.
Instead, I got to see my favorite vampire die again. It was the same vision I’d had once at the hospital. The one I’d mostly forgotten.
Once more, I watched Aldrich throw himself at a shadowy figure, a battle cry on his lips.
If only I could tell who he was fighting, but that part of the vision remained just as unclear as it had been the last time. I cursed myself and my talent. What the hell was I supposed to do with this information? I couldn't protect him if I didn't know how...
Still wishing more than anything that I could just look away, I waited for the rest of this vision to play out, for Aldrich to fall to the ground, for his breathing to stop. Only this vision didn't play out exactly as it had last time. As if my prayers had been heard, there was a slight variation. A new detail.
He was... calling my name?
The scene shifted again, stuttering like a DVD with too many scratches on it to be played back properly.
