Rain
Adjusting to being a vampire was easier than I thought it would be. Since I was half werewolf, I didn’t have to deal with all the trouble vampires experienced, but I still had bloodlust. Everyone had been asking me about it, wanting to know how I was fairing.
Lia was no different. She sent me one of her usual texts, wanting to know how I was doing. It did make my heart flutter. The two of us had come so far since first finding out we were mates. I’d be forever grateful that we had managed to overcome the odds.
Hey, how’s the whole bloodlust thing going? Are you holding up okay?
– L
Eh, it’s manageable. Cravings are still a thing, though. Like right now, I could really use a snack.
– R
Oh? What are you craving?
– L
Blood. What else would it be?
– R
Well, I mean… you can always bite me.
– L
Haha, funny. Good one, Lia.
– R
I’m not joking.
– L
Wait, what? Are you serious?
– R
Yeah. When we’re both home, you can drink some of my blood.
– L
… Is this a trap? This feels like a trap.
– R
No trap, Rain. I’m serious.
– L
Seriously serious?
– R
Do I need to spell it out for you? Yes, you can bite me. Yes, you can drink my blood.
– L
… Hell. Yes.
– R
LOL, you sound way too excited about this.
– L
Oh, I am excited. Like, my fangs are tingling right now.
– R
That’s a thing? Fangs tingling?
– L
100%. It’s a craving thing. Right now, they’re screaming, “Hurry up and get home!”
– R
Wow, dramatic much?
– L
Lia, you just offered me the equivalent of a gourmet meal. I think I’m allowed to be dramatic.
– R
Well, don’t speed or anything. I don’t need you getting into an accident because you couldn’t wait to bite me.
– L
Too late. I might already be driving faster than normal.
– R
Rain! Slow down!
– L
Okay, okay. I’ll slow down. But just know, the second I walk through that door, I’m going straight for you.
– R
Pounce and all?
– L
Oh, absolutely. I’m not even going to apologize for it.
– R
You’re impossible.
– L
And you’re amazing. Seriously, you don’t know how much this means to me.
What was it that vampire clan guy talked to me about? Oh yeah, vampire saliva could be used as a way to induce rapid healing or help lower the pain so I sucked on her lower lip, enjoying the moan that escaped her.
It made me want more so I sucked harder on her lip, my growing erection trapped in my pants. What I would give to feel her inner walls fluttering around me, milking my-fuck, I had to stop thinking so much.
“How is my blood?” she whispered, her breath tickling my ear.
I grinned. “The usual copper taste but there’s also this sweetness to it”
Lia kissed me again, more of her blood coming into my mouth. I drank greedily, but didn’t want to her experience blood loss so I settled for nibbling on her neck, sucking hard on her pulse point. The two of us stumbled onto the bed, pawing at each other’s clothes.
When she was bared to me, I buried my face in her sex and tasted her like a man starving. The sounds Lia was making were ones she was trying to muffle, but this just made me want to get her to moan loud enough for the guys to hear.
Grinning, I took a moment nibbling on her right thigh. I sunk my fangs into the soft skin, making sure to smooth the bite with my tongue. While pain and pleasure could mix, I didn’t want to cause her so much pain that I overwhelmed it.
After a while, it became clear that neither of us could stand the teasing anymore so I pushed inside Lia, groaning at how tight she felt around me. She clung to me, burying her face in my neck. I didn’t move until she gave me the go-ahead because the last thing I would ever do was hurt her.
The pace was frantic, both of us wanting to reach climax. I came first with Lia following suit a little while later. With a groan, I pulled out of her and collapsed on the right side of the bed. She snuggled into my chest and started to doze.
“Are you going to sleep?” I asked, trying not to yawn.
“You are tired too so why don’t you sleep?” she countered back
I yawned louder. “No, I don’t need to sleep. I’m awake. Awake.”
There was nothing wrong with falling asleep in her bed. Each of us had found a way to spend time with Lia now without jealousy rearing its ugly head. Was there still sometimes pangs of jealousy that hit me randomly? Of course, there was. I couldn’t stop that, but it was nowhere near the level it was!
“How was giving into your blood lust?”
A chuckle escaped me. “Pretty fucking amazing. I think I should indulge in it more often. Don’t you think?”
“Hell yes.”
It was surprising to hear those words escape Lia. Once she realized what she said, her cheeks heated up.
“I’m going to go to sleep now. If you want to stay here and sleep feel free. I don’t mind.”
Thank god that Lia’s bed was pretty big. I don’t know if it would’ve been able to fit two people if it were any smaller.
Despite my attempts to not fall asleep, I did. I woke up several hours later to the room empty. Lia left me a note explaining she was downstairs and dinner should be ready by the time I woke up.
A small part of me was annoyed that Lia had left the bed without telling me, but she was under no obligation to wake me up. This was just my preference.
Sighing, I climbed out of bed and threw on my clothes. The guys shot me a few grins when I came downstairs with Lia avoiding my gaze, a deep blush staining her cheeks.
Today had been a good day.
After all this shit from the Rosewater Coven, we had to deal with, it was nice to finally have a break. I knew that they were still there and would be a threat until we were able to finally eliminate them from this world.
I… didn’t want to think it was going to come to that but it was likely to get to that point. They refused to let go of the blood oath, no matter how much people tried to convince them that this was the best thing to do.
Who was it going to benefit if they saw it through to the end?
No one that’s fucking who.
But I wasn’t going to think about that right now. I sat down with my pack, grinning around at them. It was a good day and I was hoping we were going to have a good night as well.
