The Bartender's Monsters

Chapter 12

Lily POV

I woke up in a strange bed with Richard sleeping next to me, or at least I think he is sleeping. Vampires need a few hours of sleep, while other creatures need at least a healthy eight hours. I am in my bra and panties, fortunately, he is on his back, so I can check to see if he is wearing anything. I gently lifted the sheets when I heard a deep voice grumbled out, "Find something you like, my love?"

I yelped in horror when I was caught peeking at my boss. He chuckled and gently pulled me to his chest. He wasn't wearing anything, I was so flustered. "Tell me about yourself," I asked him. Richard kissed me on the forehead, and told me his life story.

"As you know, I am the illegitimate son of a British lord and a black Jamaican slave. My mother died in childbirth, and my father shipped me off to be raised by my aunt and uncle. My father and I were never close, he was the type who would throw pounds at you rather than interact with you. My aunt was a tyrannical dragon lady who wanted an educated nephew, so I wouldn't embarrass the family. The servants treated me like I was a freeloading tosser. I grew up to be an educated rake who made bad choices in friends. I was killed by a lover's jealous husband and left for dead. I woke up hours later as a vampire, I don't know who turned me. I created a coven of loyal vampires I personally rescued. I killed every person who had ever wronged me. I have made so many mistakes, and it cost me my humanity," he said. 

I kissed him on the cheek, "I am so sorry that you went through that." My heart breaks for him, no one deserves that life. Richard starts to kiss me, and I reciprocate. The kiss deepened, and my underwear disintegrated off. "Finally, I have you naked and in my bed," said the excited vampire. I chuckled as I returned to kissing him. Richard positioned himself between my legs, getting on top of me. Without warning, he sank his fangs in my neck and shoved himself inside me. I yelped in pain while thrust into me. If I didn't know any better, he is claiming me, and the others are going to be pissed. Richard released my neck and licked the wounds. He proceeded to kiss me while continuing to thrust into me. The coppery taste didn't even gross me out. Richard flipped on his back with me sitting on his dick. "Ride me," he ordered as he grabbed my hips, his claws digging into my hips. I started to ride him, his hands guiding me. It seems like hours before we both came together. I fell asleep in his arms, not caring that the sheets were stained with my blood.
