Demons V2

Chapter 62: Bite Marks

Ezra decided not to write aftercare and I didn't find out until last minute. 🙄

George POV.

A loud purring was coming from behind me, and for a while I just laid there listening to it contently. It was a pretty sound, being able to hear Dream purring. I couldn’t bring myself to move away, but maybe that was because of the fact that my legs hurt and he was hugging my waist close to him.

There was however, the slight throb in my neck from where he bit me last night. Although I couldn’t see it since there weren’t any mirrors in the room I felt like it was really big and obvious and a deep red colour, and I flushed from embarrassment at the thought of Karl, or Sapnap, or someone else seeing it and knowing what happened.

I’m pretty sure that Dream was awake, since he always seemed to be awake and I had heard him talking about demons not needing sleep in the past. But the demon was laying completely still, holding me closely and purring.

When I began shifting around his grip loosened, showing to me that he was awake or at least conscious in some way and aware of the fact I was wanting to move. “How are you feeling darling?” That answers my question. I rolled over to see Dream smiling at me and I smiled back at him.

“Tired,” I answered. “And my legs really hurt a lot.” The demon muttered an apology as I said that, but I felt that he didn’t need to apologise for anything. “I had a great time,” I said after telling him this. “You were very kind to me.” Dream smiled dopily as I told him this and kissed me, but when he pulled away I noticed his eyes focusing on my neck.

“What are you staring at?” I asked, sheepishly moving my hand to cover the large bite mark that he had left last night. Perhaps he felt guilty about the fact that he had left it, and that it was so damn obvious as to what had happened between us.

“Nothing.” He quickly responded, his gaze flicking back up to meet mine as his eyes glowed softly. “Just admiring my perfect pet.” He kissed me again, with me tiredly kissing him back. “Now, are you hungry sweetheart? I could get you something for breakfast.” I nodded, yawning slightly as I did.

“What time is it anyway?” I asked him, nuzzling into his chest as I did. I mean we had sex in the morning, I couldn’t have slept too long if it was still breakfast time.
“7am.” He responded simply, before continuing. “You slept for twenty-four hours George.”
“Twenty four hours!?” I responded. I had never slept that long before.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” I asked him. “Why did you just leave me to sleep? Oh God I am so sorry.” He kissed me again to shut me up, or maybe just because he really liked kissing me.
“You were exhausted sweetheart.” He told me. “You needed your rest and so I let you get it. I stayed in the room with you the entire time.”

Hearing that small reassurance calmed me down slightly. I was just surprised that I had slept that long. Even though I did enjoy sleep, when Karl and I were in the cabin I only got about five hours a night at most, often it was a lot less than that. Perhaps all of the short restless nights had finally caught up with me.

“So you just laid around all day because of me?” I asked him, scrunching up my nose slightly as I did. It just seemed a little unfair to the blond, but I calmed down slightly as he shook his head.
“I was at my desk most of the day, just editing some videos. I liked being able to get some work done while keeping an eye on you.” He ran his fingers through my hair and smiled.

“Anyway, how about breakfast?” He repeated after a minute of silence where we just grinned caringly at one another. I nodded and attempted to slide out of bed but he stopped me. “I’ll bring you up something.” He told me. “Your legs probably will be too weak to walk all the way downstairs. Just find a movie or something, okay sweetheart?”

I nodded at him, settling back in the bed as he kissed me and left. When he was gone I craned my neck and was able to see my faint reflection on the screen. The big mark that he had left was visible and I couldn’t help but reach up to tentatively touch it, almost in a way of seeing if it was actually real or just my imagination.

The moment that I touched the mark however, my entire body felt inflamed. It originated from the mark but quickly spread down throughout, and also spread from my fingers along my arm. I felt like I had when Karl and I would get lice or fleas in the cabin in the Summer and we’d just itch everywhere.

Although I tried to stifle it, the pain quickly became unbearable and I sobbed loudly, my voice cracking and breaking during my cries. It didn’t seem that Dream, Karl, or Sapnap heard me, despite how loudly I cried and so I stumbled to the bathroom (with my entire body hurting as I did) to try and find a way to subside the pain.

Nothing I tried actually worked, it didn’t help when I put on burn gel or cold water, and none of the creams that he had in the first aid kit helped either. I mean I hoped that they were creams in the kit that were meant to help burns, but I couldn’t understand many of the long and overly complicated words.

I just collapsed on the floor, continuing to cry softly as I shook from the pain and the stress, with it only calming slightly when I heard a gentle voice. “George, what’s wrong? I heard you scream and I was worried. Are you alright?”

Dream had come into the room and crouched in front of me. I just cried, not being able to let out an actual word to explain my situation after having touched the mark. He reached forward to brush a strand of hair out of my face but I felt like he got too close for comfort to the mark and attempted to move away.

Without even saying anything the demon understood what was going on and he touched the bite mark on my neck anyway. I immediately gasped while freezing, expecting a new wave of pain to run through me, but much to my surprise it cooled to the touch.

I think I mentioned this before but would it be cool if I wrote a DNF 'choose your own' story? Where you as the readers will get to choose what happens and how Dream and George will act.

It would take a lot longer than one of these books so I won't be able to write it normally, and it'll only make sense if I upload it all at once, but maybe a future thing I could start working on now if people wanted to see it.

E.g.

George smiled up at Dream and thought for a moment before making an offer. "Do you want to come over to help with the homework this weekend?"

If Dream should skip the football game to spend time with George turn to Chapter 10

If Dream should tell George he is busy until next week turn to Chapter 12
