The Two Kings (Afterlife Saga) (15 page)

“That's right. T
hink about it, if they all had the power to change both humans and Demons th
en the world would soon be over
run. Considering they are immortal it would be very hard to stop them or to maintain control.”

“So what about the other rumours, you know
,
garlic, stakes to the heart, sunlight
, silver and feeding on humans....
that type of thing?”

“Garlic no, but
sunlight and silver
,
yes
. B
ut sunlight is the only weakness
Lucius
holds, although it does not kill him
. He doesn't like t
hese things because they are all a reminder of how
he died as a human. So his memories of them got transferred into each one he turned
,
so
therefore
, it is now their
weakness
. But
considering
Lucius passed on despite these
,
it makes him immune
to most cases
.
As for the feeding on humans I am afraid that part is true and not just for Vampires
.
”
I wasn’t surprised considering I hadn’t been frightened when Draven had bitten me during certain, breathtaking times, I had already guessed as much.

“What about the spiking?”

“Ah well
,
that is highly unlikely as it would have to be made by the same wood as the tree he was hung from and considering no one knows what type of tree it really was then you would have to be extremely lucky. Plus it wouldn't have to be in the heart, anywhere would do
.
” Oh well I will keep that in mind. I couldn't help but giggle at the conversation we were having. Draven didn't seem to mind, I think he was just glad I wasn't screaming.
I put my strange behaviour down to a coping mechanism.  

“So they’re
not dead then?”

“No
, they have an immortal host like usual Demons but where
as most Angels and Demons outgrow their
vessels. Vampires keep on to theirs because of the blood that regenerates them. The blood lust is down to wanting to be more powerful than the next. A lot of the time they feed on humans but do not need to kill them. Many have been bitten, drank from and then healed. Most don't even remember the act.
It is a very sexual act and most pre
fer to have sex with the living.
You do
,
however
, get rogue
Vampires that kill and trust me when I say I have had to de
al with more than a few of those
in my time.” I could just pict
ure him as a slayer but then he
and Buffy popped in my head doing the bump and naughty so I q
uickly pushed that far
,
far away.

“What are thinking about?” He asked as I must have been staring at nothing. I usually did this when thinking hard about things.

“I guess I am still confused as to why he would want
me
.
” This changed Draven so quickly it took me a moment to realise he wasn't still on the couch. His body was ridged and at first I thought he had heard danger, like when you see a dog
’
s ears go back when they know some things not right.

“That is quite enough for today. You do not
need to be worrying about some
thing that I will not allow to happen. And besides this is supposed to be a date and I doubt it is customary to talk abou
t so much death and destruction.
” I got up and put my arms around his neck, well tried to, but h
e got the hint and when I inter
locked my fingers he lifted his neck back up and me with it. He held my waist and when he went to kiss me
,
I moved my head back
causing
him
to
let out a disapproving groan. I was te
asing him and he knew it from the
big naughty grin that spread the width of my face. He tried again but I moved and with his hands still holding my wa
ist he couldn't do anything about it.

“You’re
enjoying this
,
aren't you?”

“Maybe, but you’re
not I gather
?
” I was clearly making fun of him, which was hilarious in it own right.

“Cocky now aren't we, what happened to that shy girl that used to flinch if I came too near or jumped if I touched her lightly? I think I must be spoiling you
Vixen
?
” He said giving me a thoughtful half smile
and a new nickname
. His eyes nearly closed from looking at me with such intense lust.

“Do you want to spoil me again?” I asked biting my lip.

“Always
!
” Was all he said before lifting me up into his impressive arms and running with me up the stairs once again to my room. There he sat down on the window seat and I was on his lap where he kissed my neck still trying to reach my lips. I stayed firm knowing that teasing him would be worth it in the end. See I had a plan, I wanted to see what he wo
uld do when under my control,
then I would give in at the last minute. That is if I could last that long without kissing him first.

“Behave
,
” I whispered and he gripp
ed me tighter. I moved to stradd
le him and felt his eagerness increase into a hard bulge. I pulled my top off, leaving me with just a plain black bra. I really needed to
invest in some fancy underwear.

He cupped the material with me in it and then gripped them making me moan. He then stood up and held me wrapped around him with one arm. With the other he unfastened
his jeans and lets his length
breath
e
freely. He pulled down on my waist line and with a quick movement from each leg I was out of my black sweat pants quicker than it had taken me to put them on. He lifted me higher before sitting back down so he cou
ld lower me onto him. This way
was always
going to be
more intense as it seemed to go in further making it hard
er
to take, so when I screamed out
he lifted me off slightly, knowing
this could be a problem.

Then he controlled my movements to be slow and steady. I thought that with me being on top
it
would put me in the driving seat but because of Draven
’
s size it meant that I wasn'
t yet used to this position as
I had
first
thought. However I was still in control...
In
one way at least. I still wouldn't let his lips touch mine and he looked like a man starved from his addiction. He was craving my lips but I kept moving out of his way and he would growl and groan with agony at being withheld.
It however made my pleasure increase.

“Keira yield to me
!
”
He commanded and
I
placed my lips near his ear to
whisper,

“No, not till, I
…
am
…
ready
.
” I said slowly and over pronounced. So in return he multiplied the storm that was happening in between my legs. I whipped my head back and he started to bite my neck but stopped himself before he could penetrate the skin.

“Do it!” I ordered and
I could feel the gratified smile on my skin. I could tell he was happy he had regained some control. He stood up suddenly and pulled me tighter into his groin. I scre
amed back again and his arms that
held my waist gripped tighter still
not
allowing me to leave his size
. He walked over to my desk and sat me down
, while keeping us securely connected.

There he took back his control and gave me
a very powerful orgasm making
me shudder in his arms. I could fe
el the energy grow inside me. T
he fire and ice fought each other under my skin. My
blood raced around my body as if
it was being pumped by two hearts. Draven's and mine. His hand was supporting my neck as I jerked against him. I could feel that he was close too, so I looked up at him and said
,

“Kiss me, kiss me n
o
w
...” He didn't even wait for the last word to leave my lips before he crush
ed
his own to mine. He came quickly after
that
, while still kissing me and I felt his cry
ing
out inside my mouth. I also came....again. He rested his forehead on mine and I could see his smile. He lifted me over to my bed and lay me down before joining me.

“That was incredible
,
Keira.
No-one
has ever teased me like that before and well you know the out come...it was just...” It wasn't often that you heard Draven lost for words
,
so this unfinished sentence was the
biggest compliment I could have ever received
.

“Ecstasy
!
” I said before snuggling into my little nook situated under his neck and by his shoulder. He stroked my hair back and kissed the top of my head.

“Y
es…
yes i
t was. Sleep now my little Vixen
.
”

I was soon fast asleep and would have loved to say that I dreamt of me and Draven being together but I didn't. Even though in life I belonged to him, this was no longer the case in my dreams. I had lost all control. I belonged to someone else....
to another. So
I dreamt of Lu
cius that night and
in my dream….

I belonged to him.

Chapter 7

Life
Interrupted

I woke to the lush feeling of a warm naked body next to me and I sighed
,
I was so happy. The body next to me shifted his weight and then I felt his breath by my ear.

“Good morning
,
my little Vixen
.
” I loved it when he called me this and it was the truth, I was his and there
was no getting away from it.
I rolled over to face him to see he had clearly been wide awake now for some time. I stretched out and my bones made cracking noises at having to work again. For some odd reason Draven found this amusing.

“Morning
!
” Was all I said as I was still shy in the morning. I still expected to wake up and find out it had all been an amazing dream, of course I was always over the moon to find out it hadn't been. I was shy because I knew my hair would be a mess and my breath strong enough to take out
large farm animals.

“You haven't been awake for hours staring at me again have you?” I asked praying he hadn't but his smile
confirmed my fears
.

“If you owned a master
piece
,
you would spend a long time admiring it, wouldn't you?” He said simply. I hid m
y head under the covers to hide
my shame. I felt the bed move while he laughed.

“Why are you hiding under there? Are you blushing again because you know that just enhances the picture of beauty
?
” Oh please let him stop before my cheeks exploded! He got frustrated when I didn't come out
,
so he made the covers float up to the ceiling using his hands to control them. I was still
as
naked as he was and he laughed harder wh
en my hands flew out to my priva
t
e
parts.

“Bring it dow
n!” I shouted as it flattened against
my ceiling.

“You will no longer use it to hide?” He raised an eye to me and I nodded, making my quilt coming waving down until landing first on my feet then to my shoulders.
