Chapter Five
“Nice place.” But then again, anything beats dirt floors and cave
walls. And Heaven help me, he has lights and running water. Oh man, there has
to be hot water too. I bet the one thing I don’t find around here is
something to eat.
I walked into the main room, which was decorated in black and white. Fuck,
I’m afraid to touch anything. All that white is just asking to get messed up. There
were metal lamps on glass tables and a fireplace at one end of the room. I saw
an eating area off to the side. Huh, bet he can cook in there. Well, that is
if he actually ate.
Through a partially open door, I saw what appeared to be a working
bathroom. Which would be great, except the Derkelyng didn’t need
bathrooms. They didn’t eat, didn’t sweat, didn’t… didn’t do anything that a
living person did. I glanced in an oval mirror over a sink. It had been a long
time since I’d seen my reflection. The wetness from the earlier rain had
darkened my light blond hair. Tired brown eyes with dark circles under them
stared back at me. For someone so young, I looked old and used-up.
I jumped when Lander hugged me from behind. There was that damn scent
again, swirling inside my head, making me want.
“Let me show you the bedroom, sweet.”
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my pounding heart. Lander grabbed
my hand and I stumbled along. My knees were shaking, and the bulge at the front
of my pants was more than a little noticeable. Lander stopped in front of a
door, glanced down at me and licked his lips. Well Jesus, I just thought I
was hard. Fuck, I want to bite those lips.
With a grand display, Lander threw open a door and gestured to a large
room dominated by a bed covered in white fur. All the furniture was black, even
the floor looked black, but it gleamed. That was kind of cool. I knew there was
stone that had that kind of shine, but I didn’t know the name of it. Wasn’t
like there was much of it from where I came from. There were abstract pictures
on the walls, done in black and white, and… I raised an eyebrow. One whole wall
was glass. I stepped over to it and looked down. The night lights were spread out
below.
I waved at the glass. “Um, that’s kinda dangerous, isn’t it?”
Lander glanced at the windows and shrugged. “The glass is nearly
impossible to break and coated in a pitch-black tint. You just can’t tell that at
night. Plus, as a backup, there are metal shutters that close before daybreak.”
“Still, I’d think you wouldn’t want glass within an inch of you.”
Lander smoothed my damp hair off my neck. “I like to live dangerously.”
A full body shiver racked me as cool lips touched the side of my neck.
“You must.”
Lander’s hands reached around to undo the buttons that ran up my shirt.
“I get the feeling I’m not alone in that, though.”
I didn’t answer. I was too busy watching my shirt being opened a button
at a time. Lander’s slim, nimble fingers spread my shirt open, exposing my
chest as his lips skimmed up my neck. Those pale hands eased my shirt off,
letting it drop to the floor. I held my breath as those hands returned to
touch, to stroke.
Lander’s fingers traced a scar on a rib, then continued the journey up
my chest, heading closer and closer to… My breath rushed out as he ran a nail
over my nipple. Both nubs beaded, standing up, wanting more attention. Lander
rubbed his finger over the peak, teasing it until I thought I’d scream. I wanted…
I wanted…
“How do you think it would feel if I played with both?”
“I-I-I…” That was a far as I got.
Lander grasped both nipples, pulling and tugging… and my brain short-circuited.
Never had I felt anything like it. The sensations went straight from my nipples
to my cock. I couldn’t think, all I wanted was more. The harder he tugged, the
more I ached for more.
Shit, I’d had sex before, but it had been nothing more than getting
off. We certainly didn’t touch each other, not for pleasure. It had been all
about getting a cock up an ass, and that was all. There was no kissing, no
playing with nipples. I certainly never had been into pain. But the harder he
twisted, the more precome my cock wept. If he kept that up, I might just come. Shit,
what had I been missing all this time?
“Fuck,” I whispered, both of my hands covering Lander’s.
“Are you trying to stop me, or trying to help?” Lander ground his dick
against my ass. I wanted to feel that as soon as I could with no clothes
between us.
“I…” A slightly hysterical giggle popped out of me. “I’m not sure.”
Lander trapped both nipples between his fingers, the tips aching and
stiff above his fingers. “Rub your fingers across them. Feel what I feel when I
touch you.”
“Jesus.” Okay, that was fucking hot. Then I ran the pads of my fingers
across those trapped nubs and my knees damn near buckled from the shock. “Holy
shit.”
“You are so responsive. I can’t wait to make love to you, show you all
the things… You’ll lose your mind, trust me, at what I want to do.”
I licked my lips. “Like... like what?”
Lander pinched my nipples harder. “Mmm, I think I’d like to clamp these
pretty nipples with clothespins, first off. Something nice and easy that won’t
freak you out too much.”
I arched against Lander. “Clothespin? There? And that won’t freak me
out?”
Lander’s hand drifted down to the bulge in my pants, the heel of his
hand rubbing hard against my cock. Then that naughty hand pinched the inside of
my thigh near my dick. “Not as much as having the pins down here.” A desperate
moan echoed through the apartment. Was that me moaning like that?
“Holy… fuck.” I rubbed my ass harder against his dick. Shit, that
sounded like it hurt, and I fucking couldn’t wait. I was hard enough to pound
nails. “Do… do that again.”
“Do what?”
“Pinch me.”
“Huh, seems like we might have the making of a pain slut here.”
Lander’s fingers caressed the top of my stomach, making the muscles jump under
his fingers. I grunted when he pinched the skin right above the waistband of my
pants.
“Lander… please?”
“Oh sweet, yes. Whatever you want, I’ll give you.”
Lander undid the button on my pants. I never knew pants being unzipped
could sound so sexy. Suddenly, I couldn’t wait. I jerked away from the shelter
of his arms and sat on the bed. Off came my boots.
“I want… I want… Fuck, Lander. I want to feel you busting my ass open.”
I undid all the buckles and snaps on my pants and wiggled out of them.
Lander launched himself at me and we fell across the bed. Between his
hands and mine, we managed to strip him too. We rolled around on that huge bed,
the fur bedspread tickling my legs, clothes thrown everywhere. My hands were
all over him, touching and teasing. His body was like mine, long and lean, with
very little hair… only cooler, much cooler.
Lander flipped us and I ended up on top of him, my knees by his hips,
his body pressed to mine. “You are so beautiful, Blade. I can’t wait to make
you mine.”
“Jesus, I’ve never… never… fuck, you’re a Derkelyng. What the
fuck am I doing?”
Lander buried his hands in my hair and pulled me down closer to him.
“I’m more than that, Blade. I’m also your mate. Yes, we are different, but…
I’ve scented you. There’s no way I can let you go now. I need you, Blade.”
Shit, I wasn’t sure I could let him go now, either. And didn’t that
just fuck the whole deal up? “I-I… fuck.”
Lander grinned at me. “Fuck sounds like a grand idea. Then maybe the
rest will seem less threatening.”
“Yeah, screw it.”
Lander smoothed my hair out of the way. “Favorite position?”
“For me or you?”
Lander snorted. “How do you
like to be fucked?”
I nipped the tip of his nose. “Hands and knees. But you should know I’m
not always going to be catching.”
“Huh.” Lander flipped us again.
Good thing I didn’t get motion sickness. I found myself on my hands and
knees, just like I said, with my ass in the air.
“I have never bottomed, but I could with you, Blade.”
“You, you never have?” It has hard to think when there were slim, cool
fingers exploring my ass. “Ah, you got something to—” Lube squirted in me and I nearly climbed
off the bed.
“Ah, sorry.”
“Christ, Lander, that’s cold, dammit.” I glanced back at him, hoping
he’d see the promise in my eyes. “I’ll remember that.”
Lander patted one ass check. “I am sorry, sweet. You’re so warm and
we’re so not. I didn’t think to warm it up. I will next time.”
Next time. Oh God, next time. As
in doing this again, living together, being a couple, him changing me. Me being
like him. That’s bad enough, but being mate to a House Lord? Someone as
powerful as he is?
Lander’s fingers entered me, lubed up, and searching. This was going to
be quick, I could see that. He stretched me open, and I enjoyed the burn. He
also took the time to find my hot spot and, once he did, God, he ruthlessly
played with that bundle of nerves until I was nearly begging for release.
Again, I never knew what I was missing. Sex had never been like this for me.
How was I going to give this up?
All thoughts fled my mind as he entered me. Yes, he was cooler than I
was used to, but he took his time, listening to my body signals and giving me
time to adjust. Jesus, he was big. That’s what I got for not checking out what
was going up my ass. I’d been too desperate. And now… well. Now it didn’t
matter.
“Fuck me, dammit.” I growled.
Lander grasped my hips and did what I asked. Holy shit, he knew how to
use what he had. Every third thrust pegged my hot spot. He was using me so
hard, we were moving across the bed. I
was close to coming.
“Fuck, I’m close. You promised no biting, remember?”
Lander gripped me harder. “Right, now come!”
“Fuck.” I yelled as he filled me up with his come. It went on forever,
his seed flooding me.
“God, Blade.”
Lander slumped against me and I hit the bed, unable to support us both.
My pants were right by my head, thrown there purposely by me. I reached out,
gently opening one of the cargo pockets. There, in a pouch, was my trusty
knife.
Gripping the hand, I groaned loudly. “Man, you’re suffocating me. Got to
breathe, you know.”
Lander snorted but rolled over to his back. Quick as a snake, I
straddled him, the knife in my hand. He had to truly die. I knew that.
He was one of the most powerful Derkelyng around and a child of Rider’s.
If Lander was destroyed, this whole coven would be thrown into chaos. Maybe
humans could get a toehold in this area. Maybe Rider would move on.
I raked the knife over Lander’s throat.
This was what I did. I was indeed a killer. Lander needed to cease to
exist. And I certainly knew how to kill. The funny thing was I had ended
up in the city by accident. But having Lander appear and claim I was his mate
was a bonus I hadn’t expected. Neither was my reaction to him.
I looked into those glowing red eyes then down to the pitifully small
scratch on Lander’s throat and knew I had purposely not cut him hard enough.
Hell, he was barely bleeding. The damn wound was healing before my eyes. This
knife was sharp enough to take his head and I… I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t
kill him. A low growl drifted up and Lander knocked the knife out of my
hand.
Shit, I’m dead.
Chapter Six
“I knew you were a killer. Actually, the name Blade is becoming known
among our kind. I’m impressed.” Lander snarled as he flipped them once again. Blade
was on his back, his eyes peeled wide open. There was fear there… and
acceptance.
Lander grabbed those slim legs and jerked them to his shoulders. “To
try to kill me, while having sex… You are damn brave, Blade.”
Tears rose in Blade’s eyes. “I-I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill you.
God help me, I couldn’t take your head.”
Lander slammed back into Blade, grateful Blade was still loose and wet.
He thrust hard, but he made sure he was nailing that special bundle of nerves.
Lander raised Blade’s legs higher, nearly bending Blade in half and thrust harder.
“I… do not—” Lander
snarled as he reamed Blade’s ass “—have… that… problem. Come, damn you!”
Lander bellowed as Blade tightened around his cock, pulling his orgasm
from him. Then, he struck, his fangs sinking into Blade’s neck.
“Ahhh, fuck!” Blade screamed.
Lander injected his venom, then jerked back to stare at Blade. “You are
going to be a worthy mate.”
Blade’s mouth fell open. “Wh-h-at? Mate? But... but... you said no biting.
I-I… Why would you do that? I thought you’d kill me after what I…”
“I have.” Lander tapped Blade’s lips. “Killed you, that is. I’ve fucked
you, came in you twice, bit you. There’s no getting away now. You are
dying.”
Blade shivered. “But… I assumed the bite was how humans are converted.”
Lander thrust against Blade, their cocks moving together through
the precome Blade was leaking again. Lander ran his finger tips over Blade’s
lips. He grinned when he noticed Blade tried to reach up and couldn’t. The venom
was working.
“Such lovely skin, sweet.” Landers voice then changed. “I’m surprised
at you, Blade. You should never assume anything. I would have thought a
killer like you would be well aware of that lesson.”
Blade froze. “Are you telling me the rumors about sex changing a human
are true?”
“Yes. You have my seed in you now and it’s changing you. All that is
left is for me to give you my blood. It’s all about blood and come.” Lander
bit into his wrist.
Blade tried to turn his head and couldn’t. “But, but… I don’t know
that I want to be…”
Lander held his dripping wrist over Blade’s mouth. “Open, Blade.”
Blade narrowed his eyes but did what he was told.
Lander sighed in pleasure from the frantic sucking at his wrist. “Ah
sweet, before you took the knife to me, I would’ve given you time. Now, we do
it how I want, and I want you as my mate as soon as possible. You’re going to
be one of the most deadly Derkelyng ever, my very own knife. I’m so proud.”
SIX months later Lander arrived at Lafayette Square. He waited by the bronze
statue of Henry Clay as he’d been asked by his mate. The night was nice, the
moon shining brightly. There was a slight fluttering in the air, then Blade stood
in front of Lander.
“One day we will soar over the city because you have asked.” Blade
grinned. “Is that what you told me back then?”
Lander reached for his mate. “Indeed, I did say that.”
Suddenly, Blade wrapped his arms around Lander and lifted them off
their feet. He kept going until they were soaring above the buildings… just as
Lander had said.
“Um, surprise,” Blade said as they floated.
“Surprise? Oh my sweet, for one as young as you to have this kind of
power is unbelievable. I am so proud of you.”
Blade blushed. “I wanted to show you on our six month anniversary. I
just hope I can get us back home.”
Lander hugged Blade tighter. “Don’t worry if you can’t, I’ll take the
flying over. I’ll… ah… catch… If
you know what I mean.”
Blade red eyes blazed. “Damn, wait until I get you home. I want you on
your hands and knees… after I’ve cut your clothes off.”
Lander chuckled as they drew closer to home. “You and that damn knife.”
Blade winked. “Right, wasn’t it you who suggested blood play, my
mate? So don’t tell me you’re afraid of my little knife.”
Lander growled as his feet hit the ground. Blade had gotten them back
to the apartment building. “Never,
sweet. You couldn’t hurt me then, and you can’t now. You are a fierce Derkelyng,
and you are mine.”
“Got that fucking right.” Blade pulled his knife and sliced open Lander’s
shirt. “Now get to stepping before I strip you out here. Bedroom, now.”
Lander’s laugh echoed on the night air.
