Passion For Hire (Passion #5) (26 page)

He shifted closer to her, slipping the sheet down so he could look at the smooth expanse of her back. His eyes followed the beautiful lines of her body, where she dipped in for the waist before swelling out gently over the hip. Carefully he lowered the sheet even further and let his eyes take in the sight of her sweet ass. As he stared at it, he felt himself growing hard and as his cock stiffened, the need to touch her grew.

She still wasn’t showing any signs of waking up yet though, and despite his mounting desire, he was reluctant to wake her. She had been through so much with what Nadine had done to her.

She shifted alongside of him, giving a soft moan, the sound like a purr low in her throat, and Adrian groaned under his breath. With one sexy moan from her, he was achingly hard now. He shifted closer to her, close enough that her sweet scent filled his nostrils. She stretched, her back arching, arms extended over her head, the action pushing her ass back towards him, touching his cock. He groaned, gritting his teeth, still reluctant to wake her, but fighting to keep his hands off her as his desire grew. When she moved her ass brushing him again, he couldn’t take any more, and his control snapped.

His hand closed over her shoulder, flipping her onto her back and she gave a small shriek of surprise, grinning up at him, her dimples flashing in her cheeks. “Is there something wrong Adrian?” She asked.

He narrowed his eyes at her, suspicious that she had been pretending to still sleep, and had been deliberately trying to arouse him. Well, she’d succeeded. He rolled onto her, pinning her slim body under his.

“There’s nothing wrong sweetheart, just more a case of something’s come up.”

She wriggled her hips and flashed him another grin. “Oh yeah and what do you want me to do about it?”

Adrian thrust against her, feeling his cock slip between her thighs. Definitely heading in the direction it wanted to go, but not where he needed to be just yet. He lowered his head and brushed his lips over hers. “I want you to let me in.” He whispered.

She laughed softly before lunging and grabbing his lower lip between her teeth, giving him a quick nip. “Oh I think I can manage that.” Faith shot him another cheeky grin, and he felt her thighs parting until she could wrap her long slim legs around his hips. “So now you have me Adrian what exactly are you going to do with me?”

“This.” He said and lunged, feeling the swollen head of his cock slip past her soaked entrance and plunge deep inside her. Once he was as deep in her as he could go, he paused, groaning loudly at the feel of her tight little cunt closing around him, gripping him in an intimate embrace. “Oh fuck, fuck you feel so good Faith. I love you so much but I need you badly. I don’t want to hurt you, but I’m not sure I can do this the way you deserve it to be after all you’ve been through.”

“I’m ok Adrian. You don’t need to hold back with me. I want you too. I love you and I want you to fuck me hard, fast, make me come.” She whispered arching her hips up under him and he felt her tighten even more.

“Oh fuck.” His voice came out broken, almost tortured. Unable to control himself any longer he pushed himself up onto his hands, tilted his hips, and began to thrust into her, his movements punishingly hard, almost violent. She felt so good, and it was nice not having to be gentle with her now she was vampire, plus hearing the tiny moans coming from her fuelled his desire.

“Oh Adrian, oh please, faster, faster.” She cried and with a growl he slammed into her forcefully driving her higher up the bed with his thrusts. He could hear her moans becoming cries and she clamped down around him, her feminine muscles squeezing him, pushing him closer to his own release.

She felt so damn good, and she was incredibly tight. He loved how firmly she clung to him, but he wanted to make her come spectacularly, he wanted to make the earth move for her.

He pulled out of her, hearing her protest and her nails dug into his arms as she fought to bring him back to her. “Hang onto the headboard sweetheart.” He urged her, hearing the strain of his desperate need for her in his voice.

Willingly she obeyed him, her brilliant blue eyes blazing even brighter with her need, and once she had a firm grip on the ornate ironwork, he pulled out of her and sat up, kneeling between her parted thighs. He glanced down, seeing how wet she was, seeing how wet she’d made his painfully swollen cock. The sight of her so ready for him, so exposed nearly pushed him over the edge and frantic for her, he lifted her legs onto his shoulders. At this angle her sweet, sweet cunt was so close he could smell her arousal. He would have liked to drag this out, maybe tease her and torment her a little, but his own need was too great. Nearly losing her and refusing to take her before they slept had escalated his desire to the point where he was struggling for control. After two years selling his body, he’d learned exceptional control, but Faith had the ability to wipe it completely. With her he was needy, desperate, lusting for her like a virginal boy eager for his first taste of pussy.

With her legs on his shoulders, he leaned over her, which tilted her body right up to him, and with a deep guttural growl; he buried himself in her again. This time he started off slowly, easing himself in and out of her but she cried out to him, her voice urgent and needy as she begged him to go harder and faster.

Unable to deny her or the urgent demands of his own body, he pounded into her relentlessly until she suddenly tensed, his name passing her lips in a high pitched scream as she began to come. She pulsed around him, her muscles tightening in waves, squeezing him, making him ache as he fought off his own release, so he could savour hers.

He slowed, moving lazily as she rode out the last of her orgasm. When she’d calmed, he sat back, lowering her legs to the mattress again. Settling between her thighs, he thrust deep into her and began to fuck, fast, furiously and frantically, desperate to come now. The pressure was building in him, he could feel the tingling along his spine and he was spurred on by the gentle caress of Faith’s hands over his back. She was running her fingers up and down from his shoulders to his ass, her touch on him, like fuel to a fire. Everything about this woman possessed him, owned him, and he was powerless around her, unable to do anything but give himself over to the floodgate of sensations and emotions she stirred in him.

Just as he teetered on the edge, about to explode, the bedroom door was suddenly flung open wide and he heard Flame’s angry voice next to the bed.

Adrian froze mid thrust and ground his teeth hard together when his body protested painfully at being denied sexual gratification. His cock throbbed, aching as it sat still hard, still buried deep in Faith. He’d been on the brink of coming and now he had to try and hold back his release until he didn’t have one fiery redhead glaring at him.

“Why the hell didn’t anyone wake me to tell me what my poor sister went through? What do you think you’re doing Adrian? Get the hell off her I need to see that Faith’s alright.”

“Flame, now is not the time. Leave my son alone.” Adrian realised his father was also in the room and he turned his head, struggling to get himself under control. Could this get any more embarrassing?

“Come Flame, talk with them later. You can see your sister is obviously alright now.” He heard his mother’s voice, and at this point he would have been happy for the ground to open up and swallow him down.

“Well, well, well, so the secretive one does fuck after all.” Francesca’s amused tone came from next to them and Adrian snapped.

“FOR FUCK SAKES GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!” He bellowed. He could feel Faith vibrating under him and when he shot a glance at her, she was laughing quietly, struggling to control it but she was still laughing. She could laugh, she’d already come. He needed to, badly, desperately, but he wasn’t prepared to have his family witness him losing control, to see him reach his release.

He groaned almost silently when the movement of her body as she giggled, caused her to tighten around him. Despite all the vampires in the room, his parents, Flame and his annoying sister, he was so close to exploding. The feel of her was threatening to push him over the edge. This gorgeous woman under him, who was clearly finding their situation way more amusing than he was, had him in serious danger of coming spectacularly while his family looked on.

He jerked violently when Faith suddenly buried her fangs into his shoulder, and that was all it took. He couldn’t hold back any longer. “Dammit…just…leave…us...alone.” He ground out; his voice raw with his desire. The last of the tenuous control he’d been holding onto snapped, and unable to stop himself, he thrust a couple of times into her and started to come. It felt like the floodgates had opened; it felt like he was going to come forever. Helplessly, uncontrollably and self-consciously, given his family were all in the room with them, he pumped into her, filling her.

He shook, his body convulsing from the intensity of his orgasm, until finally, drained, he collapsed on Faith. His head dropped to her neck; his embarrassment acute, given everyone had witnessed his monumental loss of control. Lips brushed his ear; their feather light touch sending a shiver through his body. “I love you.” She whispered, and he lifted his head to look down at her, momentarily forgetting everyone in the room and only seeing her.

“Why? Why did you do that? I was trying to hold back.” He lowered his head to speak softly in her ear so only she could hear him.

“Because you needed it, you were in pain. I could see it on your face and I don’t like to see you hurting. Don’t be embarrassed; surprisingly I’m not. I’ve heard it’s quite common for coitus interruptus of this kind, to take place in your father’s house anyway. Odds were it was going to happen sooner or later.”

The sound of clapping drew their attention from one another and back to the little crowd of vampires in his bedroom. “Congratulations Adrian. You managed to come even with an audience; Mr Man of Mystery himself. Get used to it; being walked in on, is common around here or so I’ve heard. I’ve been spared so far personally.”

Adrian wanted to climb off Faith and turn to his family but he was still hard, despite their audience and truth be told, he wasn’t finished with her yet. He wanted to fuck her again, but he wasn’t doing it with his family looking on like a bunch of perverted cheerleaders.

“Come everyone, there will be plenty of time to speak with Faith and Adrian later, once they rise from their bed.” Sirene stepped forward, her eyes apologetic when she met his.

“Hey wait a minute; I want to see how Faith is.” Flame protested but she fell silent when his mother turned her gaze on her.

“I think Adrian’s already risen, haven’t you brother dear?” Francesca shot him a mischievous look, and he could do little more than glower at her from his position on top of Faith.

“Come we will leave them now.” Fabian said. “Your mother and I wish to speak with you later when you and Faith are in a less compromising position.” His expression was filled with amusement. “We will leave you to.” He hesitated momentarily. “To do whatever it is you still need to do.” He turned and opened his arms wide to indicate everyone was to leave. They all filed out of the bedroom and once the door closed behind them, Adrian sagged on top of Faith.

“Fuck that was embarrassing. I never bring women to father’s home so I’ve been spared my room being turned into ringside. Did it have to be so many of them? Their timing could not have been worse. I was just moments off coming and suddenly I have Flame ranting at me. Then you.” He nipped her bottom lip. “You had to push me over the edge in front of them all, didn’t you? I couldn’t stop myself. The feel of your sweet cunt tightening around me when you laughed and then your bite; I was lost.” He lowered his head and kissed her hard briefly. “I think you deserve to be punished for that.” He thrust into her.

Faith smiled, lifting her arms around his neck, her fingers plunging into his hair, to scrape her nails lightly over his scalp. She stretched under him and he had to stifle a groan when he felt that wet cunt of hers, tighten around him again.

“Promises, promises.” She whispered just before her lips closed over his.

Twice more we’d made love before finally rising, showering and dressing, ready to go and face Adrian’s family. I felt happiness welling inside me unlike anything I’d ever experienced in my life. I had my man, my perfect vampire. There was still plenty to work through yet, but I was safe in the knowledge that he loved me at least.

I’d just finished brushing out my wet hair when Adrian stopped what he was doing to face me. “When you were touching Katherine the other night, I know you heard something that upset you. You wouldn’t tell me then, but will you tell me now? Please sweetheart, I want to know. It was bad wasn’t it? It’s something to do with her health I presume?”

I nodded. “It was her death sadly. We have to get her into that home your father has purchased for her. I’m not sure how much longer she has left, but she deserves to live out the rest of her time as happily as possible.”

Adrian closed his eyes, his expression pained and I knew immediately what was wrong with him. Despite everything, all we’d been telling him, he still blamed himself for anything that went wrong. I closed the gap between us and took his handsome face between the palms of my hands, feeling what he was feeling, his pain and insecurity.

I wasn’t getting visions of him and I any more, and I suspected it was because destiny had been fulfilled and finally we were together. Now though, when I touched him, I could feel what was inside him.

“This is not your fault Adrian. You know without you, she would more than likely be dead already. Listen to your son. You heard what he said about their living conditions. You helped her. You gave her a better life. You gave both of them a better life.”

He finally nodded at me. “I love you Faith.” He said and I smiled at him, all my love for him reflected in my face.

“We can’t change what happens in life, but we can do the best at improving what life gives us. We need to get Katherine into that home. Now, will you tell Lucas? He should know that time is running out for his mother, so he can spend as much time with her as possible while he still can.” I grabbed his hand. “Now come on. We need to go and see what your parents want to speak to you about, and I’d better deal with Flame.”

“Yes, I’ll talk to my parents and then we will feed.” He looked slightly sheepish. “I am ashamed to admit that I am going to need help to hunt. I’m used to feeding off the women I serviced, and the one time I tried to hunt was when I turned Lucas.”

I squeezed his hand. “You will be fine; you have been a vampire for over two years now. You have fed off those women and not turned them. You were a baby vampire back then but talk to your family. Let them in, let them help you. They all love you, even obnoxious Francesca.”

“Will you hunt with me sweetheart? I know you need human food sometimes and we can pick up something for you, but I want you to come with me.”

“Of course I will and I’ll even promise not to sit beside you while I eat the human food. I know you full blood vampires don’t like it.” I stuck my tongue out at him. “Now come on. Let’s go speak to your family before they come looking for us again.”

“So we’ve established Katherine will be moved into her new home in two days. It would seem a sizeable donation to the organisation behind the housing estate for terminal patients makes things happen faster. Now before Lucas joins us again as he has gone hunting with Francesca, I think it would be best if we do not tell him about what you saw Faith, when you saw her visions or heard them as was the case. I think it would make more sense to get his mother settled in her new home before he is told that her time is limited now. We don’t know for sure when she will succumb to her cancer and I don’t want him potentially out of control with grief, when he is new amongst us, and still learning the ways of being vampire.” He looked around us all. “Is that clear? We say nothing to him for now, ok?”

“Shouldn’t he be allowed to have the opportunity to spend time with her though Fabian?” I asked.

“He will little one. I’m only talking about until Katherine is settled in her new home, and he can see that she is happy there as you saw her to be.”

“Very well, we will stay silent until she’s in her new home and settled.

“Now your mother and I wish to speak to my son. It seems there are things that should have been said a long time ago. We failed to explain things to you. We let you down as parents, and left you to survive as a new vampire without properly educating you on what to do, how to hunt.” Fabian’s eyes flicked to mine briefly. “We would like to speak to you alone.”

“NO! I’m sorry father but Faith deserves to be here. She is the one who saw this, long before any of you knew what was going on with me. I will not accept her being tossed from this room like she doesn’t matter.”

Fabian studied us for a moment. “Very well son. Please let’s all sit down. He sat on one of the lounges with Sirene who tucked herself up by his side.

I curled up against Adrian and felt that thrill of excitement that he was finally mine, when he wrapped an arm around me and dragged me closer.

“You know that we only turned you vampire because you were shot as a toddler when your mother and I were leaving the club one night? It was an accident, they were after your mother as payback for her killing one of their gang. If we had turned you vampire as a baby, you would have been trapped for eternity as an infant, never to grow up and take care of yourself.” Fabian explained.

“I made the decision to fast forward time using a spell, grow you to adulthood, and then turn you my son.” It was Sirene’s turn to speak. “We were terrified of losing you. You are our miracle Adrian. Fabian dying led to me bringing him back, but he was human and that’s when you were conceived. After an accident he was turned vampire again and then I nearly died, and was turned right as I gave birth to you. Trust me; we would have done anything to save you.” I could see how much she loved Adrian by the look in her eyes.

“We made a huge mistake when we didn’t spend time with you training you to hunt properly. It was hard with you. You were so mature from the moment you were adult; so serious, reserved, nothing like your siblings. Then we found out where the men were who shot you, and we selfishly allowed that to consume our time. When we should have been teaching you the ways of being vampire, we were off seeking revenge and failed you terribly as both parents and vampires. By the time that matter had been taken care of, you had grown very distant and were going out every evening.”

Sirene interrupted Fabian, her voice filled with her anguish. “Oh Adrian, why did you not come to your father and I and tell us what was wrong? We watched your drifting away and didn’t know how to draw you back to the fold. There was no need for you to go through all you have for two long years. No need at all.”

I looked up at Adrian’s face, only seeing his profile, but I could see what looked suspiciously like tears glistening in his eyes and I reached out to take one of his big strong hands in mine.

He glanced down at me momentarily before turning back to his parents. “I didn’t know what to do. I panicked and all I could think was that you would kill me father. That it wouldn’t matter that I was your biological son, the rules are, no killing humans and no turning them without your permission. I’m a coward and a selfish fool. I chose to keep what I’d done a secret to preserve my life, but I turned my son into a prisoner and his mother too for that matter. I even kept them separate within the home when I wasn’t there so Lucas couldn’t hurt Katherine. I bought the house so I had somewhere to hide what I’d done from you all, and I worked as a male whore to finance everything. It was lucrative too. Desperate, lonely and horny women pay well. It was a regular blood supply and safe. I could bite them then make them forget the biting bit.” He paused, his eyes turning to meet mine again. “You know I’d probably still be doing it too if a gorgeous blonde woman with stunning blue eyes hadn’t walked into the house one night, dropped to her knees and declared she was mine. Now that shook my world up a bit. I’d managed to get through life convincing you all that I was the optimum of control, when really I was far from it. I was scared every fucking day that it would all come crashing down on me.”

I could see what that kind of admission did to him too. It had not been easy but he was opening up to his parents. I gave his hand a squeeze and a shadow of a smile crossed his face before he lifted our joined hands and kissed the back of mine.

“Oh Adrian, how I wish you had come to us. How could you seriously think we would kill you for accidently draining Lucas? You could have left him as a suspicious death, when his body was discovered by police. You didn’t, you turned him, and you gave him and his mother a beautiful home to live in. You heard what Lucas told you, your care and better living arrangements bought her more time. You are not bad or selfish. You are not a coward. You are good and kind and you have a caring heart. You have a woman who adores you, who came for you. She knew you wouldn’t welcome her with open arms, yet she still came to you and threw herself at your mercy.” Sirene gave him an affectionate smile. “You weren’t exactly very nice to poor Faith, but you have no idea how it warms my heart to see you together now. My dear sweet Adrian; you were always so aloof and distant. Now you look happy and I see love in your eyes. I’m delighted and you are so deserving of happiness. Don’t ever doubt that. Katherine will soon be in her new home, and Lucas can live here. I think having him near will be good for him and our Francesca seems to have taken a bit of a shine to him.”

Her words made me smile. It was hard to imagine Francesca taking a shine to anyone, but I’d seen my visions and believed that what I’d seen would come to pass.

“I think if you had known what was available to you son you would have learned that nothing you’ve done over the last two years was necessary.” Fabian drew our attention again.

Adrian frowned. “What do you mean father?”

“Well, if you had come to us two years ago, we could have helped you; we could have taken care of Lucas and Katherine and you would not have needed to buy the home or work to finance it all.” He paused for a moment, reaching into his pocket to withdraw a small booklet which looked remarkably like a bank book. Did people still have bank books these days I wondered? Well, apparently Fabian did but then he was ancient compared to the rest of us. I studied his handsome face seeing a lot of Adrian in his features. He could be scary so there was no way in hell I would I tell him he was ancient. He might not take that too well.

He rose from his seat next to Siren and came over, sitting down on the coffee table in front of us. He said nothing, simply handed Adrian the bank book. “This is yours son. This was opened when you were still in your mother’s womb. I am a very wealthy man. I’ve been around a very long time and have accumulated vast wealth over that time. I don’t go around publicising that fact but I wanted you, my heir to have an inheritance. Now given I’m not going to pass away any time soon unless killed by one of the methods that can kill a vampire, then I wanted my only biological son to have some of my money. Don’t you see Adrian? You were never meant to be. You would not be here now if your mother had not reversed time to bring me back to life. That spell brought me back, but human. Your mother was also human and you really don’t need me to explain the rest, but you were conceived. I acted shamefully I admit on discovering your mother was pregnant. I stormed from the house and had a car accident which led to me having to be turned vampire again to save me. I regret my behaviour son, but I don’t regret you. As your mother has told you, you are our miracle. We love you and there is no way I would have killed you for your mistake. Not when we are responsible for your mistake by failing to educate you in the ways of vampire. You were so newly changed and would have been confused with conflicting flashes of that lost time. You may have even had moments of remembering your childhood, and then you were suddenly adult. You had to grow up fast, I mean, grow as in adapt to the changes that had taken place, but you have become the kind of man and vampire that we are proud to call our son.” He leaned forward and gripped Adrian’s arm briefly. Fabian was not an emotional kind of man. I rarely saw him display anything to anyone other than Sirene, so this was a rare moment. “Now, look in the book.” He gestured to it.

Slowly Adrian did as he asked and I found myself leaning over for a closer look too. I could see a lot of figures. Rows and rows of them, and I studied them for a moment. I kept staring at them until finally reality hit me and I gasped in shock. I’d just clamped a hand to my mouth as I gaped at the number printed out in the top column, and the staggering number of zeroes that were at the end of it, when Adrian made some sound like he was choking.

“You can’t be serious father? Have you seen how much this is? You can’t give me $3.5 million.”

“I can and I have son. I told you I’m a wealthy man. How do you think your brothers and sister survive? I gave them all money too. They have their own inheritances to do with as they wish, as long as they don’t do anything stupid to draw too much attention. As my biological son, you get more and the others understand that.” Fabian sat back to study his son’s reaction, and I tilted my head to see how he was taking this news too.

“I…I don’t know what to say father. I am speechless.”

“You don’t have to say anything, just accept what is rightfully yours. You cannot continue doing the work you were doing. It’s not fair to Faith. You can sell your home now and have the money from that.”

“I don’t want to sell my home father. I was thinking Faith and I could move into it.” He said and my gaze shot over to him. This was the first I’d heard of it. Adrian must have sensed my surprise because he turned to me. “I only just thought of it after…after we found ourselves with unexpected company in the bedroom.”
