Beyond †he Darkness (Hellsing)

on the town(23)

"Alu-Alex! I don't want to wear a fucking dress!" Angel growled at the Vampire King. "I don't need to wear a fucking dress! It's too dangerous besides, you said it yourself!"

"Kitten, look at how I am dressed for the evening and you are dressed..." his head tilted ever so slightly. "The suit works for the day time but going out for pleasure doesn't say couple."

"Sorry, not interested Alex..." Angel crossed her arms no longer staring at the full length mirror.

"Let me show you draga mea..." was all the Vampire King said then a tendril of his shadows produced a dark blood red colored dress. The shadow limb held the dress up to her and she could see the color matched his tie color exactly.

"I know I didn't have that dress when I left for here, "Angel tapped her boot heel.

Alucard leaned into her, "I had it made and brought it with me if you must know, kitten."

"And you wonder why I called you little tomcat," she huffed then jerked the dress away from the shadow tendril. "If I die I guess you can bury me in it too..."

"My Master, why are you so sure I want you dead?" Alucard followed behind Angel as she prepared to change clothes. "In the few days you have been my Master, here in America, you have been the kindest..."

"Oh so I am a softie..." Angelica laughed. "Figures I would be."

The dark haired woman began to remove her clothes until she was stripped down, to a pair of black lace matching bra and panties. Her back was turned to Alucard, so couldn't see his expression but she felt and heard it, as it hit her like a rolling wave breaking against a sea wall.

The Shadow King produced a low continual growl, with huffs of breath mixed, like he was taking in her scent then his aura rolled thick and heavy. Angelica's skin crawled and shivered, so that it became covered in goosebumps, like as if an arctic blast of wind blew through the room.

Angel's body couldn't stop shivering as her fingers trembled and found getting the dress on extremely difficult. It was part fear, part awe and a great deal of sexual want.

"Alucard...please stop, " her voice barely whispered but his supernatural hearing made it out, as if she was an opera singer, hitting a high note.

"Sorry my Master, you caught me off guard..." then the aura was gone. "I will wait for you downstairs, Lady Angelica."

Angelica turned around to see she was the only one in the room now. Having gone from a suffocating dark aura to nothing, was unsettling and it felt eerily empty with the Shadow King, not in the room to pester her. Angel wondered if it was her or was he this moody at Hellsing and she never noticed it?

Was he trying to figure out his boundaries, so far over the pond from his well known master, Sir Integra and Hellsing?

Then it dawned on her when she looked down at her left hand, the King Oberon's mark. Alucard had no such mark on her but some transferring of his scent. Perhaps tonight, it would be in the best interest of both parties, to figure this out?

"Motănel..." Angelica called to Alucard, as once more he was looking out a window.

The young woman couldn't see his eyes but his body posture told her, his mind was far, far away in thought. Angel decided he would tell her, if he thought, it was important.

"Are you ready Alex?" Angel asked quietly. "I thought we would walk there."

Alucard turned and seemed to return to his usual nature. "So I may take in the night life?"

"Knowing you, it's a thin veil for scaring the night life..." Angel scoffed. "But it doesn't matter, as long as I have your company."

"Hmm...I approve of your company too, little one," his lips formed a smug, pleased smile.
