UNDERWORLD WATCH

Chapter Twenty Three

Chapter Twenty Three

Noah stared wide eyed the dragon's fire covered the human and master vampire. Surely there had to be another way. There was no need to kill the human. They could have found another way.

But what he saw after after the flames cleared made him pause.

"Cyril?"

He took a step closer to the...um...human? Because he wasn't sure anymore. Was he dead?

Noah moved closer to get a closer look at the other man. He released a sigh when he saw the man's chest move. But how was it possible. How did he survive the dragon's flame.

He shook his head to clear it. Later. Later he'll get answers. Now he has to make sure Cyril was okay. He tried touching him but let go with a hiss of pain. He was too hot to touch. A figure settled beside him. He turned to see Ashton had transformed back to his human form.

Ashton grabbed Cyril by the shoulders holding him up. He pulled him close and Noah could see the man's face. Cyril was pressing his eye lids shut as if afraid of what he'd see.

"Everything is okay. Open your eyes Cyril. Come on, you're alright," Ashton whispered.

There was a few seconds of silence before Cyril opened his eyes. Noah sighed in relief when the man looked up at them.

"We have to leave. The warehouse is going to burn down," Lukas said from behind them. He threw two pairs of sweatpants at Ashton. Noah hadn't even noticed the lack of clothes on the two men. He'd been too worried for the...um...once human. He looked away to give them privacy to change.

"Are the humans safe?" He asked the Alpha.

"Yeah. My packs making sure they're all out. We should be heading out too," he answered moving to help Ashton with Cyril. He wasn't that strong to hold himself up yet.

"Okay then. Let's go," he said heading for a hole on the wall. It was the closest and safest way out. Since most of the fire was on the other side of the warehouse.

Outside was chaos. People were everywhere. Names being shouted from one end of the clearing to the other. Noah was glad all these people were okay, but he was getting a headache from all the shouting.

"Hey, won't the humans reveal our existence?" he voiced out.

"Don't worry. Angus has it covered. He sent someone over," Lukas answered following steadily behind him.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

He was interrupted when Cammy practically flew past him and launched herself at Ashton's legs. McKinley was right behind her as he went to take Ashton's position.

"Son? Are you okay?" He asked when Cyril looked up at him. The young man just smiled and nodded his head. Lukas helped them move to one of the waiting cars.

"Hey, you okay?" An arm was wrapped around his torso as he was pulled back to a hard chest.

"Yeah," he turned to face Ashton, "where's Cammy?"

"She ran back with McKinley. Apparently he's grown on her," Ashton said with a chuckle. But then frowned studied his face more closely.

"I'm okay, don't worry. I just need blood," he reassured the dragon.

"Okay then, let's go. They're waiting for us."

Ashton sighed in content as he walked out of the bathroom. He really needed that shower. He stopped in his tracks when his gaze landed on the bed.

"Are you going to stare or come have your way with me," Noah asked with a sly smirk.

Ashton stared at the man splayed nude on the bed. If he'd known what he was going to be waiting like that on the bed, he wouldn't have stayed so long in the shower.

When he didn't move, Noah stood up and came to him. Ashton couldn't tear his gaze away from the vampire's sexy body as he moved closer. He groaned when Noah pressed their bodies together. Snapping him out of his trance. He wrapped one arm around Noah's torso as the other hand tilted his head up for a kiss.

The kiss was hard and rough due to the desire they'd been holding back. Ashton pulled Noah by his thighs so he was straddling him and carried him to bed. They landed in bed in a mix of limbs, but didn't break the kiss.

Noah flipped them so he was on top of him. "Now let's take care of you," he said seductively. Ashton only groaned as a shiver ran down his spine.

Oh this is going to be a wonderful night...or morning.
