The Daylighter Apprentice

Chapter 10 - A Small, Scary Vampire Gave Me Nightmares

I'm taken off guard as two soft, yet cold, lips press against my own, sealing me and Matthew together in a firm kiss.

I'm kissing a vampire. An actual vampire. Should I be scared or turned on? Fuck it. This is hot.

My thoughts run at 100mph as Matthew pulls away, usually pale skin tinted with a slight pink blush. We both stare at each other and I giggle slightly, turning my face away as I feel it heat with a blush to match Matthew's. But as soon as I do, one of Matthew's hands reaches out and turns my head back to face him.

"Don't you dare turn away." He breathes but there's no threat in his tone. "I want to see your face."

"There's not much to see."

"It's gorgeous. Shut up."

"Have you looked in the mirror as of late?" I counter, letting a hand stray from my side and caress his cheek. Matthew hums and closes his eyes briefly. I lean forward and kiss him again This time, the kiss is deeper and more certain than the last. I loop my arms around his neck and using his grip on my lab coat, he pushes me up against the cupboard and straddles my legs. My breath catches in my throat and I wiggle beneath him, trying to get comfortable.

"You OK?" He asks, breaking the kiss. I nod.

"Yes, don't stop."

"I wasn't planning on it." His mouth is back on mine before I can reply and this time the kiss is more heated and passionate. He moans as I entwine my fingers in his hair and tug slightly. His hair is silky soft and I pull it gently again, revelling in the moans that fall from his lips. I smile into the kiss, letting his tongue coax my mouth open. I grant him entry and our tongues dance a fiery, passionate tango. His hands leave my lab coat and move to my body, pressing one above my heart and one on my shoulder.

Matthew moves so our bodies are almost pressed together and I moan, running my hands down his back. He nibbles slightly on my bottom lip and I gasp.

"Matthew!"

"Matt. Call me Matt." He wastes no time in leaning into kiss me but pulls suddenly away almost immediately.

"You're bleeding." He murmurs. "Your lip's bleeding."

I start to taste the metallic tang of blood in my mouth but I shrug.

"I don't care." I make to kiss him again but he presses a finger to my lips to still me.

"No. Let me see." He pulls my bottom lip down and furrows his brow.

"What's wrong?" I try to say but it comes out in a slightly garbled mess.

"My fangs, I must have caught them on your lip. The puncture marks are still open that's why you can taste blood. I need to seal them."

"Does that mean-"

"No. You won't change. It will only have been the slightest bit of venom but stay still, I need to seal the wounds." Matt shifts slightly and holds my lip down as he leans in and licks the wounds. He doesn't break eye contact and I whimper slightly, torn between thinking this is hot or gross. I feel a growing hardness in my groin and I wish I hadn't chosen today to wear my tightest skinnies. He finishes and pulls me back in for another kiss.

"I'm so sorry, Dominic. I didn't mean to bite you." Matt breaks the kiss but I shush him.

"I'm not bothered." I reassure him, pressing my forehead against his. His hand moves to cradle the base of my skull and his long fingers knot in my hair. His other hand presses down slightly where my heart is and Matt leans back in for another quick kiss.
