Blood and Apples

Chapter 15

Snow awoke feeling herself resting in Dracula's arms which was very new to her. He held her close to his chest with her head resting on his muscled arm.
She felt a smile appear looking up at his sleeping face, he was so calm and at ease, Snow had never seen Dracula like this. Without thinking she gently rested her hand on his cheek placing a kiss on his forehead but pulled away quick after hearing a sleep chuckle.

"What are you doing pet?" He asked keeping his eyes closed but still smirked.

"Sorry I woke you"

"Calm pet, I very much enjoy your kisses" Dracula chuckled again turning into his back, Snow leaning up into him placing more kisses on his lips. He cupped her face pulling Snow closer before brushing his fingers through her hair.
The two broke the kiss with Snow resting back onto his chest as he held her tight.

"How long do you think it'll take still I have control?" Snow asked. Dracula sighed slightly opening his eyes while running his hand through her hair.

"It isn't a simple answer, everyone is different, I've met many of vampires who are centuries old and have no control" Dracula stated.

"Why are they like that?"

"It's a matter of wanting to be in control, some feel they are invisible and don't need control"

"What happens to them?" Dracula paused turning his head to look at Snow before responding.

"They get killed" his tone was low and serious. Snow felt herself froze slightly.

"Is that possible? I thought vampires couldn't be killed"

"Granted we are never ageing demon spawn, but we're not completely unkillable creatures" Dracula explained watching Snow's expression change with all the new information she was hearing.
He smiled at her adorable wiggling nose and arching eyebrows.

"Is there a lot that can kill us? Like a spell? Or a charm?"

"Well I think it be best to give the necessary information about our kind... No sun, you will turn to ash" Dracula stated resting his back on the pillow. Snow bolted up from Dracula's chest.

"No more sun light!? The warmth of the sun, the flowers that bloom-"

"You can still see all that in the moonlight... and even within the shadows if you're careful" Dracula's tone remained monotoned as he rested his arms above his head.

"Is that what you once told me you missed sunsets? How long has it been since you seen one?" Snow asked. Dracula remained silent rubbing his hand along her back.

"Dracula?"

"Rest my pet"

"Tell me Dracula" Snow asked leaning closer to Dracula's face only for him to slightly turn to the side.
Snow frowned.

"Fine, what else is there to worry about?" She asked.

"Besides the sun, silver burns and we can not enter a home without being invited it"

"That's a strange limitation"

"Wasn't my doing" Dracula chuckled to himself. The two laid there some more entangled in each other's bodies.
Dracula saw Snow's sad expression, this was difficult change to her life.

"There are some positives to being vampire though"

"I don't see draining living beings of their blood to stay immortal as a positive" Snow responded. Dracula smirked at her reaction before continuing.

"How about flying?" He asked. Snow's head slowly turned to face him as she searched his expression for possible lie.

"You can fly?" She asked.

"In a manner of speaking, it's a complicated trick I learned but yes, I can fly" he stated with his signature grin. The smile on Snow's face made him want to pull her close and never let go.

"Would you show me?"

"Perhaps one day, but until then..." with that Dracula gripped Snow's hips spinning her around until her was on top of her, between her legs, nuzzling in her neck. She let out a shocked laugh running her hands around his torso.
Despite a sudden knock on the door Dracula continued trailing kissing from Snow's neck or her chest.

"Leave us!" Dracula ordered kissing Snow further down her navel. The knocking continued with more haste.

"Don't make me eat another servant!" He asked finally reaching Snow's wet core that he started stroking heavily with his tongue. Sucking in the little nub of sensitive nerves caused Snow to gasp in pleasure as she reached for the pillows around her.
The knocking started again louder than ever, finally with a growl Dracula lifted himself up and stared at the door.

"What!?" He roared almost making the castle itself shake.
Slowly the door opened to reveal the servant standing awkwardly.

"A thousand apologies master, I-I would not have interrupted if this wasn't-"

"What is it!" Dracula's patience was wearing thin, especially with Snow smooth leg rubbing against him.

"Master the kingdom have discovered the queens death and the prince you let escape has sort out an army" the servant explain with a worried expression.
Dracula merely rolled his eyes at this news, despite both the servant and Snow's worried looks, this was noting out of the ordinary for the Count.

"Looks like we are to move... again"
