He turns slowly in my arms and looks down at me with so much pain in his eyes. Pain I know I put there. I can’t bear it so I lift up onto my toes and brush my lips against his. The soft touch of our lips is like a key in a lock that opens the door he’s been using to hold all his feelings back. With a tortured groan his lips crash against mine and his arms pull me up higher against his chest. His tongue forces mine apart to delve in and tangle with mine. A different type of need fills my body as his fingers slide under my ass and press me tight against the swelling rod in his pants. The need to get back to Luca dims from my mind as my core clenches with the need to have Sebastian fill me deeply. He’s mine and I have to show him that so he never forgets and chooses another over me.

I pull at his clothes trying to find skin to touch, to feel, as he walks us back to the bed. His lips finally leave mine as he lays me out on it and looks his fill. The heat is quickly replaced by a frown causing me to glance down my naked body and the changes to it I was unaware of. My hands sweep over my ribs and I could count them if I wanted and then down over the sharp hip bones. My eyes lift to Sebastian’s even as I’m shaking my head in confusion at how this happened. Anger fills his expression and he lifts his wrist to his mouth and bites before bringing it to my mouth.

“Drink! You’ve made yourself sick. You need to drink so my blood can heal you.”

I shake my head knowing what drinking his blood will do to me. It might give me my strength back but it will also turn me into a sex-starved nymphomaniac for days. I can’t stay here getting my brains fucked out when I have to get back to Luca…Luca! I jerk my head away from his wrist but his other hand clamps on my jaw and forces my face back and my mouth open. The first few drops that hit my tongue are like pure lightning that jolts my body straight and I feel a bright glow take over that energizes my entire being. I need more. My lips create a suction on his wrist as my hands pull it closer and I suck hard on the coppery ambrosia filling my mouth. It’s nothing like the feeling that overtook me when I drank Luca’s blood. This is pure raging power filling every cell in my body. I don’t know if it’s because Sebastian is older and more powerful than Luca but the difference is like a cup of plain brew coffee and a quad shot of espresso. The fog that’s been filling my mind for so long begins to lift and clear.

My eyes blink up at Sebastian as he pulls his wrist from my mouth and hands. Everything that happened over the last month comes into sharp focus and my eyes go wide at the realization of what I’ve done. Ninety-three years. Oh my God! How could I have done this again? I promised I wouldn’t. No matter how much I want to be with them, I would never want to hurt them this way. What the fuck is the matter with me? Why did I do this?

Sebastian

For the first time since I found her, I see clarity come into her eyes. They sharpen and shine with health and a slight red tinge even as the dark hollows under them clear away and the soft pink of health blooms on her pale skin. She’s so damn beautiful and I have missed her so much that when I see sad regret cross her features I can’t help but try and erase it. I lift her against me again and devour her mouth, slicking my tongue against hers until she’s whimpering with the need to have me. I might be furious that she’s come back and all the damage that will cause but in this moment I’m helpless not to take what I need from the woman I will always love and need. She is here now and I will not, cannot deny myself of her.

The more my blood mixes with hers the stronger she gets and the more aggressive. Her fingers shred the shirt from my back and rip it away so she can touch my skin all over my back. She’s lifting and pushing against me needing more - more contact, more pleasure. When she bites down on my lip hard enough to draw blood and then laps it up my cock throbs for more. With my blood mixing with hers, she’s no longer a delicate human but a beast like me, and a primal thrill rushes through me to dominate, push her to her limits and fuck her the way my body craves. I pull back with a dark laugh at the thrill of it and toss aside the remains of my shirt and then remove my breaches. She rushes back up to meet me with a growl of desire but I wrap my hand around her throat and pin her down so that I can dip down to her perfect breasts and lick, suck and bite at them. Every time my teeth nip at her skin she bucks against my body and snarls.

“Harder! I want every part of you inside my body, Bas. Give me your teeth!”

So I do. I bite into the smooth globe of flesh and sip her sweetness as she goes wild beneath me from the orgasm wracking her body. Her legs wrap around my waist so she can rub her dripping wet, hot cunt against my cock until it slides between her folds and drags across her clit. Her nails dig into my back as she claws from the pleasure consuming her body. It’s more than I can take. I need to be inside of her. I reach down and line my throbbing head to her entrance and plow forward making her scream my name. Her hips rise to meet every brutal thrust and she begs me for more. When I release her throat so I can pull back for a better angle she follows me up and sinks her teeth into my shoulder, breaking the skin and then licking and sucking the blood from the wound. I wrench her head back by her hair and her eyes roll back in ecstasy even as I thrust up harder into her perfect, tight cunt that wraps around and squeezes my cock and pulses with the next orgasm plowing through her. The feeling is so fucking exquisite that I pulse my own release deep inside of her with a roar of satisfaction.

Eden’s head drops forward when I release her hair and a low chuckle comes from her throat as she shoves me. I fall onto my back still inside of her as she balances on her knees and starts to roll her hips. There’s a greedy look in her narrowed eyes as she plants a splayed hand on my chest and begins to move faster, harder on my still rock-hard cock.

“We’re not even close to done, vampire. You’ll give me so much more before we are.” She tells me in a commanding tone, riding the power of my blood in her system and it gives me a glimpse of what she would become if I made her one of my kind. Though I’ve sworn never to do that to her, the idea of having her by my side forever as an equal sends a sharp blade of desire through me that brings my monster surging forward. My eyes go red and my fangs descend as I thrust my hips up harder. Eden bares her own teeth at me.

“Yes! Give it to me. Give all that you are to me, Bas. I want all of you!”

Her riding my cock isn’t hard enough or deep enough. I need more so I roll us off the bed and we crash to the hard, wooden floor - still joined as one. The hard surface gives me the leverage I need to punish her slick cunt over and over again with deep, filling thrusts. We growl, snarl, and bite each other. Pull hair and claw skin until we are covered in rapidly healing wounds and smears of blood and it’s still not enough to satisfy the craving we have for one another. I have lost track of the number of times we both found release when we roll off of each other and lay panting on the cold rough floor. Our heads tilt toward each other and I stare into her red-ringed green eyes as a grin spreads across her face. She lets out a laugh.

“Is this what it feels like to be a vampire? I swear, Bas, I could fuck you until your cock falls off and then lay back and use it to fuck myself some more.” She turns her face away and laughs even more at the ceiling. “I feel like I could fuck the whole world right now.”

I can’t take my eyes off of her. She’s glorious. I don’t know how I’m going to let her go again. I push that thought to the side for now and roll to my knees pulling her legs toward me so that I’m in between them and push her knees further apart so her slick, pink cunt is opened to me.

“Now that I know what you’d do to my cock, why don’t I show you what I can do with my tongue?” Her smile grows wider and her hands reach up to pull my head down to her hot center. When she squeezes my head between her thighs and my tongue laps at her sweetness, I know in every part of my soul I will never be able to let her go.

We lose ourselves in each other for a full two days when the urgency of her need begins to wane. I knew it wouldn’t be as long as before with Luca sharing his blood to save her. That time, she had nearly bled out and he gave her much more than I did this time so the intoxication lasted longer. My blood is much stronger than Luca’s, being only once removed from an Original so the effect was different for her. She was stronger and fiercer than she had been last time. Where before she was a silly, playful blood drunk, with my blood she was more of a savage animal that was driven by a primal need. It was the most satisfying two days of my long existence. Not even Keket fulfilled me the way Eden has in the last two days but then again, I never loved my maker the way I love Eden.

She splashes water at me from her end of the tub that I had emptied and refilled to get my attention. The red is gone from her eyes and I know it won’t be long until my blood is gone from her system. Reality will need to be faced soon and decisions will have to be made. I sigh and wish we could just stay hidden here and ignore the world. Thinking of my maker reminds me of what Eden said when she first got here.

“Is it because you saw me with her that you came back?”

“What? Uh…no or at least I don’t think so. I’m sorry. I-I honestly don’t know what happened, Bas. I never planned on coming back again. I promised you and I meant it. I know how hard this has been on all of you. I can’t even explain why I did it. I mean, of course I want to be with you all but I hate the pain and suffering my coming and going causes. It’s not fair to any of you to keep putting you through this. Something just…came over me. I couldn’t even function after I got home. It’s like I lost my fucking mind. I spent days kneeling in front of that damn mirror waiting for it to wake up so I could get back.” Her forehead creases and she rubs at her temple as she tries to order her thoughts.

“My phone alarm went off. It…woke me up? Brought me out of the fog? I don’t know but it was a reminder that I had an appointment with my lawyer. I thought he might have more information from my aunt about working the mirror so I went out but I saw you on the street. I saw you and…her. I called your name and begged you to help me but you were so angry.” She slides a hand around the front of her throat as her eyes flash up to meet mine. “You choked me and there was so much hate in your eyes. You told me you would kill me if I ever came near you again! You said I needed to leave Luca to his madness.” I see a shudder ripple over her skin when she says his name and her frown deepens. “Where are the others, Bas? What has happened to them?”

I look away from her knowing that what I’m about to tell her will hurt her deeply and fill her with so much guilt but she needs to know.

“I haven’t seen the wolves since a few years after you left. They…they couldn’t stand the pain of your missing bond so they chose to shift to their wolf forms…permanently.” I flinch slightly at her gasp of pain and go on. “I have been searching for them for decades but I have not been able to find them.”

She covers her face with her wet hands and cries, “Oh my God, oh my God, what have I done?” Her hands drop and she stares at me with a horrified look. “Oh, Bas! I’ve destroyed everything haven’t I?”

When I don’t respond her face crumples and she stands and leaves the bath, wrapping up with one of the fresh sheets I paid to be delivered to the room. I rise as well and dry off before pulling on my breaches and stand studying her shaking form. When she spins to face me I see the sheen of desperation in her eyes.

“What happened to Luca, Bas? Where is he?”

I know she’s not to blame for what came before but I still feel resentment building up at the cost of her being here again and again.

“He’s struggling with his sanity since you left. He refuses to believe that you promised not to come back. He ranges from mania to deep despair. If what I said to you in the future is true, then it is even more imperative that you stay away from him.” She starts shaking her head in denial so I reach out and shake her. “Eden! If you go to him, he will lose his mind when you die again. If you truly love him then you need to stay away from him. He can never know that you came back again!”

She struggles to pull away from me and I know that my blood is nearly gone from her system by how weak her struggle is.
