I was back at Vesper needing to have a much-needed talk before I go back home. The short time away from the city proves nothing aside from unexpectedly finding Tessa hiding out in her rental cabin, practically behind Vesper’s new house.
“You’re going back with her?”
“She had agreed to go back with me to my apartment. I’m not taking to my den.”
“Of course,” Vesper nodded his head in understanding. He knew I wouldn’t just invite a human into a house full of vampires. No matter how good she was at protecting herself, on that note I also didn’t want to risk the life of the vampires living in my den knowing how good she was at killing.
“Okay, now, tell me you won’t cause any disturbance in the area? Or better yet, why don’t you go back to the den? I’ll be staying with Tessa for a while, I need eyes on the den.”
Vesper smirked telling me that Tessa had got me wrapped around her little fingers. “You don’t need me, father, your vampires love you. They wouldn’t dare go against your rules.”
“No they won’t, but the order still needs to be instilled and you, my son can learn how to do so in training for your future.” I paused, making sure that I have his full attention. “One day you will have your territory, your den to look after.”
“Until then…” he cut knowingly and shrugged.
“Until then.” I sighed knowing I couldn’t exactly push him, not until he sires his children and strengthen my bloodline.
After having more conversations and going back and forth with the same issues I finally leave Vesper to go back to Tessa. I got Aldrich to take her stuff to my car. I wanted to get her back to my apartment before she changes her mind. I have a couple of estates in the city area, but I chose the previous one she had visited, just because she was familiar with it and I didn’t want her backing out of staying with me.
It was almost two in the morning when we arrived, and another hour for her to get settled in the apartment.
“So, how does this work? with you being a vampire I mean. Sleeping arrangement and stuff? Is it the same as the movies? Do you sleep in a coffin? dead during the day and stuff?”
I chuckled when she mentioned me sleeping in a coffin. “No coffin, I sleep in my bed, my body will shut down when the sun rises and I’ll be awake when the sun sets. The apartment keys will be on the kitchen counter. You can leave the premises anytime you wish. I owned the entire building so you will have access to the gym and other amenities. Aldrich will bring your car, the keys will be waiting on the kitchen counter in the morning, you can also park your motorcycle in the basement.”
“Wow, the whole building, really?”
“Yeah, my great great grandfather owned almost a third of the city. We go way back.”
She laughed and I smiled back at her, liking how she didn’t question much and take it all in easily. It was nice since I didn’t want her to second guess her safety because she was safe in my apartment. I have humans guarding the building and an alarm system that will trigger and secure my unit from the inside.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“And I assumed these humans didn’t know that you looked exactly like your predecessor?”
I laughed telling her no, “The important part is they get paid, and I paid them well, more than plenty for the privacy and the added security. No one can enter from the outside. The units are designed specifically for our advantage so we can rest peacefully.”
Tessa was in her leggings and t-shirt all ready for bed when she asked if I was going to sleep with her or not. The apartment was a three-bedroom apartment, her stuff was placed in one of the guest bedrooms. I could see her awkwardly trying to find out what the sleeping arrangement was with me being a vampire and her staying in my apartment.
“It’s not that, shit… I’m sorry you probably need to feed, hunt, or whatever vampires do in their waking hours. I’ll be out of your way,”
My little killer looked like she was out of her element and it was very endearing. As much as I like seeing her feel out of place, I smile and kiss her temple instead before telling her about my meals.
“Tessa, I have blood bags in the fridge. How about I heat one and you enjoy a glass of wine before bed? You can order milk and groceries in the morning and have them sent here.”
“Or I can buy them at the nearest market when morning comes.”
“Or you can do that,” I said softly while putting my hand on the small of her back and ushering her outside of the bedroom to the open kitchen. I pulled a stool for her and she sits while watching me get a bag of blood, poured the content into a mug, and put it into the microwave.
“It’s not as good as drinking it from the source, but I didn’t want to leave you, I want to get you settled into the apartment,” I explained while pouring her a glass of wine after getting a bottle from the wine chiller under the kitchen counter.
“Thank you,” she smiled and smelled the wine before taking a sip. “This is good wine.” She praised. “Though I’d never expected less from a four hundred years old vampire.” She smiled and her playful wink reached straight to my cock.
“Are you calling me old now?” I challenged her as I take the cup after the microwave dinged. She watched me as I drink the blood and I couldn’t help but feel aroused as she move closer after finishing her glass of wine.
“You’re far from old, you’re like a fine wine, damn that’s cheesy even coming from me.” She laughed and I swear I would like to hear her laughter echo in my apartment more often.
“I’ll take any compliment you give me.”
She put my cup aside once I finish with my drink. Her hand was on my chest, trailing up my shoulder before pulling me down for a kiss. I could taste the wine, and I was sure she could taste the blood I had just drunk. But I didn’t expect her soft whimpering moans as her tongue slipped deeper into my mouth and I was certain that she was sucking the remnants of the blood that I had just drank.
The notion that she would get aroused from what was left of the blood that I drank, was too overwhelming. It made me kiss her deeper and lift her to the kitchen island. I tugged her leggings along with her panties in one go. She kissed me back eagerly and open her legs for me while her fingers expertly unbuttoned my pants, and pushed them down with my boxers altogether. My cock was hard and I thrust easily into her wet pussy while she moaned my name breathlessly.
My shirt was on the floor seconds later and her t-shirt was too. Her legs wrapped around my body like we have been doing this for years and I know I’d become addicted to her sooner than later.
The climax came quickly, we were both panting and smiling both relaxed, and couldn’t get enough of each other when I carry her back to the bed. We snuggled against each other after a short visit to the bathroom to get cleaned up. I stayed by her side until she falls asleep and I untangled myself and leave her in my room before dawn.
My mind entertained the thought of falling asleep and waking up together, of hunting and feasting on our prey before dawn came and my body shuts down and my eyes closed to end the day.
