There's a Fine Line...
Chapter 07
Narrow
bands of sunlight filtered through the curtains, waking Alicia from a most
inappropriate yet extremely arousing dream. After Blake’s parting words the
night before detailing all he wished to do to her, all he planned to do to her,
there was little wonder that her dreams had been full of him. And her.
Together. Rolling over, she groaned into her pillow as desire flooded her body
and moisture pooled between her thighs. She’d already had a taste of his
expertise in carnal pleasures and, even if going further scared her, she still
craved more. She craved her mate. She flipped onto her back and snorted in
disgust.
“Mate.
He’s my fucking mate. Son of a bitch.”
Admitting
it aloud didn’t upset her like she’d expected. Instead, it seemed to grant her
a peace that she’d only felt once before: the night Blake had strapped her to
his bench and flogged her. Grumbling as much from the revelation as from the
early hour, Alicia rose from the bed and wandered into the shower. In a few
short weeks, her entire life had been turned on its ear. Even after the Reveal,
she’d never given much thought to the nonhumans except as either potential
employers or unaware “clients.” In the cutthroat world of the homeless, race
mattered little over what someone could give you. To think of herself as
belonging to one of them, mating with one of them, and possibly even becoming
one of them, were frightening yet oddly reassuring thoughts.
As
she smoothed the soapy sponge over the taut plane of her stomach, her dreams
returned in vivid detail and she couldn’t help but imagine that he was touching her, learning her
curves, teasing her with those insanely skillful fingers and lips. Closing her
eyes with a soft moan, she dropped the sponge as she hesitantly slid her hands
along her wet, slick skin. For the first time in her young and troubled life,
she explored her body to learn what she liked. For once, she could think of
herself as a sexual being without shame. For that, she would always owe her
vampire more than she could repay.
With
the force of the heated water beating down upon her, Alicia explored the body
she thought she knew. Cupping her small breasts, she stroked the rounded globes
and was amazed by their softness. She wasn’t as large in the bust as many of
her peers but Blake had seemed to enjoy stroking and licking them. And biting
them. With a whimper at the memory of sharp fangs sinking slowly into delicate
skin, she lightly pinched the hard nubs that graced their peaks. It felt
pleasant enough but seemed to be lacking…something. Again, she pinched her
nipples but added a twist that caused her to catch her breath. Yes…this is what
she was missing and what she needed. Gripping the reddened tips firmly, she
gave them both a cruel twist and gasped as the pain shot pleasure straight to
her neglected core. Leaning against the cool tile, she gave her abused nipples
a second twist, harder and crueler than the first and moaned at the dual
sensations. Pleasure from pain; pain that became pleasure. She didn’t entirely
understand yet but she was beginning to learn.
Needing
more, she closed her eyes and pictured Blake’s ruggedly handsome face as she
let one hand trail slowly down her stomach to the soft bed of curls that lay
below. As she gently tugged and twisted her nipple almost absently, Alicia slid
a finger along her soft folds. She shifted her feet a little wider in the
stall, pressing her back against the wall as she stroked the small bundle of
nerves that had given her so much pleasure at her mate’s command. It radiated
warm pleasure with even the gentlest of touches and she spent many minutes just
enjoying it and thinking of all that was to come.
How
would it feel to finally give her mate that last piece of herself that she’d
guarded so closely for so long? Would it hurt in that painfully pleasant way,
or simply hurt? Would he be the gentle lover or the domineering vampire? Which
would she prefer? Teasing her clit almost absently, she accidentally scraped
the tender nubbin with an errant fingernail and inhaled sharply. God, the pain
was delicious! Praying that Blake wouldn’t be gentle, she altered her caresses
until they bordered on vicious. As she built towards her ultimate ecstasy, she
gripped the small bit of flesh in her fingers. Moaning loudly as she brutalized
both her nipple and her clit, she gave the tender flesh in both her fingers a
savage twist. Her cry was loud, echoed with a hint of her avian tones, and
filled with the pleasure of her release. Slowly sinking down in the small
shower stall, Alicia trembled as the last aftershocks of her orgasm passed.
Once
she was certain she could stand without stumbling, she rose to complete her
shower. She dressed comfortably in a pair of relaxed jeans and a loose t-shirt
with a pair of backless sandals. Glancing at her clothing, she frowned at what
she saw. The clothing was certainly comfortable but that was all that could be
said for it. It was concealing and shapeless and, quite frankly, unattractive.
It had been a necessity on the streets; curvy little girls were prime targets for
the stronger sexual predators but shapeless or plump ones were often
overlooked. Rummaging through her closet, she was dismayed to see that all of
her clothing fell into the same style. Perhaps she could persuade Ms. Pierce to
take her shopping for an outfit that would shock her vampire? Alicia grinned as
her eyes faded to black. Oh, what delicious punishment would he offer?
She
nearly skipped down to breakfast, humming a silly tune from her youth as she
piled her plate with eggs and bacon while waiting on her toast. Not daring
enough to go for something truly slutty, Alicia thought she could pull off a
mini-skirt and midriff top, perhaps. Her legs were decent enough and though she
hadn’t seen the inside of a gym since high school, her stomach was nothing to
be embarrassed about. She was about to pour a cup of coffee when a glass of
orange juice appeared before her eyes like magic.
“I
think you’d do better to drink this, McNugget.” Francisco grinned at her yelp
of surprise and swirled the pulpy liquid in the glass.
“Ok,
Cisco. What’s with everyone pushing juice on me all of a sudden and why can’t I
have my coffee?”
“You
need your energy replenished, Alicia. Your mate has been rather fang-happy, and
it shows.”
“It
does?” Alicia looked horrified for a moment while wondering just what else was
so readily apparent to her hosts.
“Yup.”
Her friend grinned and sat her glass in front of her before taking the opposite
seat at the table. “You’re too pale, a bit shaky, and it’s plain that you’re
sometimes dizzy when you first stand up. You have a mild case of anemia,
sweetie – very common in a vampire’s human companion and a near constant
condition to the human mate of one.”
“So,
that’s what he was talking about.” A blush rose in her cheeks as she petulantly
speared her eggs. “How long will it last? I want my coffee, dammit.”
Francisco
chuckled and rose to pour her a cup. “You can have coffee after you finish your
juice, little girl.” His teasing set her at ease, as it always did, and she
shared in his laughter. “As long as he keeps his fangs to himself, you should
be fine in a day or so. You’ll need to get some red meat into you, though.”
When her cheeks flushed nearly purple with embarrassment, his laughter echoed
throughout the room. “You naughty human, you!”
“Fuck
you, Cisco!” Alicia gave him a rude gesture before turning her burning, yet
smiling, face towards her breakfast. Totally unperturbed by her mock hostility,
Francisco finished fixing her coffee and sat it before her once her juice was
gone.
“Elizabeth
is working from home today, by the way.” The young vampire moved easily around
the kitchen preparing his own version of a meal – a warmed glass of bottled
blood mixed with a spicy V8. His announcement was spoken casually yet he
watched his human friend closely. Blake had spoken to the small coven about his
mate and all were eager to help her to understand and accept her needs.
“Oh.
Ok. D’you think she’d see me? I need to talk to her about something.”
“Of
course she will, Alicia. Shall I let her know to expect you after breakfast?”
He was rewarded by a renewal of her blush but she nodded immediately. Touching
on the very light bond they still shared, he could feel that she was happier
and more at peace than at any time in the past few weeks. Dropping a brotherly
kiss on the top of her head, he nearly danced from the room to alert his Lady.
