My Love Forever (The Night Movers Vampire Series Book 1) (25 page)

Sandra turned to her friend and spluttered, “I don’t know what he’s talking about, he’s just making it up.”

Her friend, Amanda I think she’s called, looked from Nik to Sandra and then to me, with an undecided look about her face.

Nik carried on speaking, totally ignoring Sandra’s protests.

“Well you also told me that I would get to see the butterfly you had tattooed on your left breast, although to be fair it must be a small one because there’s not a lot a space to put one is there. But I turned you down that day because I like my women to look like women, not a man in a frock.”

“And the mean, nasty, gossiping type just don’t do it for me either. Now I would never physically hurt a woman, but I do take exception to someone talking about the women I love and my stepchildren. So if I do happen to hear that you or anyone else in your circle of backstabbing, gossip mongering friends talk about either of them, then I will speak to my friend at the Rothley Gazette and let them know about how you not only propositioned me, but also how you offered to take on my friends Alex and Joshua at the same time when you had a little too much cider in the Red Lion.”

And with that, as cool as you like, Nik walked toward the till area, and spoke with Mr Singh about how he hoped the weather kept dry for tonight’s bonfire.

He then took my hand, kissed me on the lips, and led me out of the store.

On our way home Nik was singing along to the radio, whilst I was trying to process what had gone on in the store.

One thing that stood out to me above all else was the fact that Nik had called my grown up kids his stepchildren. I knew he wanted to play a part in their lives, and I was thrilled with that. He had invited them over to the cottage for dinner, along with their partners and that had gone down well.

Nik had also mentioned us buying them both a car for Christmas as he wasn’t happy with the ones they had at the moment. The cars were both on the older side but still got them where they needed to go.

I wasn’t happy about Nik spending so much of his money on them, but I got told once again that it was our money now and we had more than enough to go around.

Nik had instructed a lawyer to make me co owner of everything he owned and beneficiary to his entire estate. I assumed he was just part owner to the business and the owner of the cottage we lived in but I wasn’t aware that he owned many homes both in the UK and Europe. And now I co owned everything he did.

It didn’t seem fair that a forty three year old cleaner from a small South Yorkshire village was now worth a small fortune just because someone fell in love with her. Nik just laughed when I told him that and, said he had the money to himself for all those years so sharing it with me was ok by him.

He also said I should know by now that what we had together was more than being in love, so I was to stop worrying and enjoy the rest of our lives.

And I was enjoying life. Of course there were also some setbacks, like the mystery vampire that was stalking Alex and Julia, and comments from bitchy cows like Sandra and her cronies.

I couldn’t believe what Nik had said in the store. So nasty Sandra had made a play for my man but he had turned her down. Well that did make me feel good. Although I despised the woman, she was quite pretty and really slim, so to know that Nik preferred me did a lot for my ego. I would make sure that Nik had plentiful rewards for what he did today, by way of profiteroles and Nutella, if you get my drift.

We were going to the gym at work when we got back. Nik had placed some of the workout mats in a room off to the side of the main workout area, so that he could train me how to kick box.

To be honest it was his own brand of boxing, kick boxing, karate and wrestling, all wrapped up as ‘self defence’.

He did this because he didn’t like the fact that my kickboxing trainer was a man??? Yes Nik was quite jealous and very possessive of me around other men, so to save argument, I agreed to stop going to that class and Nik would train me instead.

Because I was having Nik’s blood quite regularly now, I had more energy and seemed to be getting much stronger. Nik had stopped being as gentle with me in our training sessions, I think part of that was because he was worried about the mystery vampire, and he wanted me to be able to at least try to defend myself. I know that I would never be able to fight a vampire but if I could at least try to get away from one, or try to defend myself until help would come, then that would be something.

Although I knew I didn’t stand a chance in hell against an angry vampire, Nik also told me how to kill one. Stabbing them in the heart, cutting off their head and burning them generally did the trick, so nothing at all like it was on the re runs of Buffy.

“I hope you are ready for a good workout Nik because I’m ready to ‘Kick some ass,” I said in what was a poor attempt at an American accent.

“Actually I’m ready for a good fuck,” Nik replied as walked into the room he had set up at the back of the gym.

“Well you promised me a good workout,” I said, throwing my gym bag down on the floor and placing my water bottle beside it.

Nik just raised one eyebrow, looked at me with a smirk and said, “Gina, when we fuck, we both get a good workout.”

“Well not now Nik, I want to really go for it today. I need to relieve some of the tension and stress that bitch Sandra caused me. So when you are ready, let’s get to it.”

“Fucking also relieves tension and stress Gina, generally with much less bruising. Unless of course you are in one of those moods.....”

I blushed profusely thinking about the wild passionate night we had at the weekend. I couldn’t get enough of him and the rougher he was the better. I didn’t know I had it in me. But now Nik was laughing at me because he knew he had made me think about it. Oh I was soooo going to take him down today.

One of the things we worked on most of all was upper body strength. Generally women didn’t have as much upper body strength, so I had been using the machines at our gym and swimming every other day. Julia had started to come to the pool at Rothley with me and both Julia and Keeley came to Zumba. I felt so much better for toning up more but try as I might I couldn’t seem to get rid of my muffin top and bingo wings.

Still it felt good to finally be able to take Nik down when he made a grab at me from behind. I took his arm, twisted it behind his back and swept his feet from under him to bring him too his knees. When he cried out in pain I quickly let go and apologised. It was then that he laughed and spun around, sweeping both my legs from under me, dropping me flat to the floor with a whack. It knocked the wind out of me and for a moment I couldn’t get my breath.

“Never let your guard down Gina, even if you think you have the advantage.”
The cocky smirk on his face soon died off when he knew I was genuinely hurt.

“Baby I’m sorry, are you ok?” he said cupping my face in his hands, concern marring his handsome face.

I nodded as my breathing became more even. Then I placed my hands on his shoulders as if to put my arms around him, and I thrust my knee towards his balls as I threw him off me.

He made a grunting noise as my knee made contact with is man parts, but I had held back at the last minute so there was very little impact. Just enough to let him know that smirking at me would not be tolerated in today’s workout session.

After another twenty minutes of what was the most gruelling training session we ever had, I decided I’d had enough. Sure I was learning lots and Nik had been much tougher on me than he had previously been, but try as I might I found it hard to hurt him.

Trouble was I didn’t want Nik to see that I was giving up. Since the slight kneeing him in the balls thing that happened earlier he had the upper hand in most of what we had done. I’m not stupid, I know he was a centuries old immortal with the strength and speed of most of the marvel comic book heroes combined, but I still wanted a little bit of power over him. So I made out like something was irritating me in my bra. First I scratched at the side of my boob. Then I looked down my top and into my bra as if to see what was wrong. I took a quick drink of water and scratched at my boob again.

“What’s up with your tits,” Nik said, staring at my hand that was now rubbing the side of my boob.

“I don’t know, it feels like something is sticking in this boob,” I said, trying my best to keep a straight face.

Then I turned round and bent over at the waist to put my water bottle back on the floor. With my arse in the air I took my time unzipping my bag and took out the towel I had put in there earlier.

I stood up and patted my forehead with the towel, then looked down my tank top and swiped the towel inside my bra, as if to wipe away whatever was irritating me. Then I bent over again to put the towel back, and then stood up with a pained look on my face this time.

“Are you ok? Have you had enough for today?”
“Oh god no,” I said shaking my head. “I feel like I’m just getting started. But maybe it will feel better if I take my bra off.” Then I turned and lifted the back of my tank top and peeled off my bra from under my top, making sure my fingers brushed over my nipples as I did so.

To be honest when I turned around this time the relief must have shown on my face straight away because Nik said, “I can tell you are feeling better now. Maybe it’s because you need a sports bra instead of what you have been wearing.”

Damn!

My plan seemed to have failed. He didn’t even look at my boobs and pointy nipples.

“What shall we do next then Nik?”

“Well maybe we could try some more floor work, but that’s up to you.”
“Ok,” I said stretching my arms above my head one after the other.” Wait did he look down just then, I was sure he did, but.... maybe not.

Suddenly the big package Nik had in the front of his sweatpants began to twitch.

Bingo!

He had looked, but now I was looking at where his rapidly expanding penis was hiding. I glanced up at his face and he licked his lips while staring at my own. I swallowed nervously, maybe this was a bad idea after all, because the sexual tension had grown so thick in the room you could almost see it. I tried to make up some funny comment to diffuse the situation, but the words wouldn’t come.

I looked towards my gym bag, ready to pick it up and run.

“Oh no Gina, you don’t get to play me like that then run. Strip now.”
“Nik, no, I mean not here at least. Let’s go home.... We’ve got Nutella.” I saw his eyes flick to the side, good, he was thinking about it.

“I said strip Gina, before I come over there and remove your clothes for you... forcefully.”

I looked towards the door and Nik shook his head, “The door is locked Gina, no-one is getting in ....or out of this room, and I’m starting to get impatient.”

I started by kicking my trainers across the room. I wasn’t wearing socks so I peeled down my sweatpants and knickers at the same time. I stood there in just my tank top which thankfully covered my flabby tummy. Nick gestured with his hand for me to lift my top, but I shook my head and looked down.

Nik stalked forward and then stood in front of me, but without touching any part of my body.

Because I was looking down, I could clearly see the outline of the raging hard on he was sporting. As if in response to his arousal I could feel myself becoming wet.

When I lifted my gaze to his, he silently asked me one more time through our bond to remove my top. And this time I did.

However, what he asked me to do next stopped my arousal in its tracks.

“Take me down Gina.”

“What?”

“You heard me, take me down, fight with me, show me your moves.”
What the hell, I couldn’t do that naked. All my flabby bits exposed and wobbling as I moved. No way Jose.

Nik pushed me and I stumbled backwards, struggling to steady myself.

“What the fuck Nik. I don’t want to do this.” He took off his clothes slowly as he came towards me again.

“Fight me Gina, or are you too chicken to do that.” “Piss off Nik, whatever you are hoping to achieve just now, it’s not happening.” I yelled as I bent to pick up my clothes. He pulled them out of my hands then swept my feet out from under me. Before I could fall flat on my back, he dropped down and caught me in his arms. I was still upset with him, though and that’s why I pushed his face away with my palms and used my legs to flip him over onto his back.

“That’s my girl, give me what you’ve got.”
“No chance, I’m going home. You can take care of that hard on yourself because there’s no way I’m going near it for a long time.”

As I turned and once again walked back to my clothes Nik flipped himself up and grabbed my shins, causing me to drop to my knees.

The bastard.

Now that man will pay.

As Nik bent over me and cupped my breast, I brought my elbow back and slammed it into his ribs, then gave him a backwards head butt, delighting in his groan. As he went to put his hands up to his nose I jumped up and grabbed his arm, twisting it round his back. Placing my knee into the small of his back I forced him flat to the floor.

“Ooww fucking hell Gina where did all that come from.” “It came from being pissed off with a vampire who needed to be put in his place.”

There was a big pause, and then I heard Nik laugh.

“I knew you could do it babe.” He said, whilst freeing himself from my hold. Then using his vampire speed, he flipped us over,  so he now pinned me down, his chest pressed close to mine.

“Why did you do this Nik? Why, when you knew I would hate to do this naked?” I sobbed.
