Beauty in the Darkness

Chapter XVIII - The Sleepover

"He's been kissing me a lot, lately," I explained to the girls. "He loves to kiss me with tongue. And it's so weird that I feel all this... this... m-my heart starts to race, you know? Like, he touches me and my heart starts making so much noise. Sometimes I wonder if he can hear it."

"He probably can," Bunny responded as she brushed out my hair. "They can smell your blood, you know. Vampires, I mean. He can probably hear your heart race. He probably thinks you're still scared of him."

"But it's been so long since I was afraid of him. Like, actually afraid. Now, it's just adrenaline without the fear. Like, I know he can kill me so easily, but... it's kind of... arousing..."

"That's slutty," Gazelle said.

"I know!" I felt my cheeks heat up. "I mean, he can just... take me! I'd have no ability to stop him, but it's strangely... sexy."

"I think it's because the king would never!" Mouse piped in. "Like, it's a common fantasy. To imagine being taken advantage of or forced upon. But it doesn't mean you actually want it to happen. Maybe you imagine this with the king because even if he could, doesn't mean he would."

"He does really adore you," Clara added as she pushed some hair out of my face. "We've all heard Carlos complaining about how much he talks about you."

"I bet he's trying to tell you he's ready to go to the next level of your relationship!" Bunny smirked. "You should give him signs that you're ready too!"

"W-what?! Like what?" I felt my face burn.

"You should give him something to want! Bend over in front of him some more! He really likes braids, so we can help you do one in the morning! And you should totally wear corsets! Men love corsets!"

"Bunny!" Clara scolded. "The king's actions aren't sexual at all! They're romantic! The kissing, the complements, the looks! He's trying to say he wants a romantic relationship! Stop trying to turn poor Encre into some... harlot!"

"It's only natural to wanna smash parts with your feeder though." Bunny tilted her head. "I mean, that's what happened with Suave and Jasper. One day Suave's insisting that he's okay with the feedings, and the next, we can very obviously hear them having sex."

"I did not need to hear that!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, please, keep things clean," Clara's cheeks were quite the shade of red as well.

"I'm just saying," Bunny began, starting to section my hair into thirds. "Feeding quickly evolves. Come on, haven't you at least thought about it? Just once?"

I felt my cheeks get hotter as I thought about sex fantasy after sex fantasy, with Fallacy being the star of them all. "M-maybe..."

"And aren't you thinking about it now?"

"M-maybe? I-I don't know!"

"So doesn't it sound at least cool? I mean, having the king of vampires as your boyfriend? Even if not for love, then for the money! He spoils you! You could totally make him your sugar daddy! He could buy you your own country, Encre!" Bunny leaned in, and I could just feel her grin without seeing it. "Or even better, for the sex! You have no idea how many erotica novels have been written about a big strong vampire having sex with a human!"

"Trust me, Bun, I do," I admitted.

"Oooo!" the entire group, even Clara and Gazelle, said in unison.

"Okay, now you have to tell us everything! How long have you had a vampire kink?" Gazelle giggled like a teenaged girl.

"Well, you know, being an artist in his late twenties, I've... collected some erotic pieces. And a few were about vampires."

"Like, how many are a few?"

"Like, maybe five or six of them? So, like, about a fifth of my collection."

The women all gasped.

"Encre! You naughty man!" Mouse giggled, her cheeks a tint of red.

"Oh, as if we don't have more than necessary." Bunny shrugged. "And what about when you got here?"

"Well, it felt like one of them! I was kidnapped by this handsome vampire with the sexiest voice I've ever heard, and he lets me live only if I let him drink my blood! But at first, I didn't see what the big think around vampires was; sure, he was hot, but the biting hurt like a mother fucker! And then... it felt better. It started... it felt really good."

I stopped, covering my red face in embarrassment. I couldn't believe I said that! Oh, I was so naughty!

"That's what Suave said too," Gazelle said. "There's no need to be embarrassed. Trust me, these girls are shameless."

"Hey!" Bunny huffed as she tied off my braid. "There we go!"

"Thanks, Bunny." I smiled, scooting more into the circles the maids had created. It didn't take long for that circle to scoot in closer to me.

"Tell us more! What's the farthest you've gone?" Bunny pried.

"W-well—"

I stopped. We all looked up, seeing Fallacy open the door. He looked around, seeing us all with red faces and our white, thin nightgowns, prepared for bed, but instead talking about sex and relationships. He scowled.

"What's going on here?" he growled.

"H-hi, Fallacy." I stood up, gently stroking my braid as I looked at him and then the floor and repeat. "We were just having a chat before bed."

"Well, I think it's late. Everyone, get to bed!" he barked, strangely aggressively.

"Yes sir." Clara stood up. "Goodnight, Encre. Goodnight, my king."

Everyone quickly said their good nights and scurried out of the room, intimidated by his sudden anger.

"I'm guessing you're really hung— h-hey!" I yelped as I was pushed onto my bed. I could barely react as Fallacy got on top of me and ripped my nightgown, tearing it to expose my chest and tattoos. "W-wow! You are really hungry!"

Fallacy just grumbled, groping my chest. He played with my hardened nipples, getting distracted in the odd areas, as usual. He seemed to calm down a little, leaning in and nuzzling my chest.

"Aww! Tu es vraiment mignon!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"I-I'm not cute." Fallacy blushed.

"I know, I know. Vampire king and all." I pet his hair. "You are just so cute when you nuzzle me like this though."

Fallacy huffed a little, moving away from my chest. He sat up, going closer to my neck.

"Aw, don't move! Stay there! I like it when you—"

He bit my neck.

"Agh!~"
