To Save My Daughter

Part 16: Giving In

I didn’t realize it at first, but Xander had let go of my arms. He leaned against the wall looking up and away from me. I knew that I should turn away, but I couldn’t. I reached out and touched his arm. When he looked down at me again, I caught his face in my hands, at the same time getting on my tippy toes, I pulled his mouth to mine. Just a soft, gentle kiss. Astonishment filled his features, while I surprised myself as well.  

“Why do you do this to me?” I whispered against his mouth. “Right now I should be running from you. Instead I want to feel you and taste you. Why is that? When I look at you, I should see the monster that threatened to kill my daughter if I didn't follow your will. Now, right before my eyes your changing,  and changing me. It scares me.”

With that, he brought me up hard against his mouth, deepening the kiss. I knew I was done for, that I was going to give into him. Even though part of me hated Xander, that part the pulled me towards him was growing stronger, and at this moment I was too tired to fight my own feelings. All I knew was I needed him. I wanted him touching me.

Standing in front of him, we didn’t break eye contact. He reached out to slip the straps of my dress off my shoulder, causing my gown to fall to the floor. There I stood naked all except for my lacies  and heels. I know I should have protested, as I watch Xander’s standing there, taking every inch and curve of me in. I could see the lust burn like fire in his eyes.   

Swooping my naked body up in his arms, again he carried me to the bed. Laying me down gently, he unbuckled the straps to my heels, and caringly took them off my feet, tossing them to the floor. He stood there, again just drinking me in. Making me feel exposed and turned on at the same time.  

Finally I broke his trance. “No fair.”

“No fair, what?” Xander questioned me.

“Here I am in all my naked glory, and you’re still fully dressed. Why is it, I’m the one that always ends up naked?” As I said this I grabbed at a throw blanket to cover myself. 

“Hummm, so you want me naked. I think I could oblige.” He said with the sexy smirk. In a blink of the eye his shirt was off, and he was lying next to me. Pulling me into his arms, he removed the blanket I had just covered myself with, and turned me till we were chest to chest.

“Typically naked means the jeans to Mister.” I teased him.

Xander just laughed, that deep husky laugh that could brighten any dark mood.

Feeling him holding me, with his skin pressed against mine, sent sparks throughout my body. I wanted him to touch me, to kiss me, for once I actually wanted him near. I didn’t want to hate him. I longed for things to be different. I didn’t know what changed in me. Maybe it was seeing the hurt in his eyes that made me want to take his pain away. If I could just remove it for a moment, it may allow me to feel something for someone again. If I could remove his wall, maybe my own wall would come crumbling down.    

We laid there for a while, just holding each other. Slowly he started caressing my back. Bringing his hands to my waist, he rolled over, pulling me on top of him, so I was straddling him. Sitting on top of him, I should have felt exposed again, but I felt I was exactly where I should be. His strong hands moved their way up my body until he had both my breast cupped in his hands. Closing my eyes, I felt his thumbs graze my nipples, making them harder with each caress. Then I felt his lips kissing my skin. Making a hunger grow inside me.

As I sat there, feeling him grow under me. I heard him let out a moan when I moved just a little. This brought a smile to my lips, to have this much control over him for once. To know I could bring him pleasure or pain, gave me a sense of satisfaction.  

“You better be careful love, you are dealing with a vampire you know. We are known for not being in control of our emotions at times.” He said.

“Hummm, really, I could have never guessed.” I laughed. “You better be careful, you might be giving me some ideas.” Truthfully, I knew that was a blind threat, but I enjoyed playing with him. Seeing his eyes lighten, I knew he enjoyed it too.

 I bent down and took his face in my hands, brushing my lips against his. Allowing myself to deepen the kiss, I took charge. Sucking his lip into my mouth, I bit it lightly, causing him to open his mouth just enough for me to enter. Slowly I started to taste him. Deepening the kiss, I heard him groan, which caused my hips to move in reaction. Feeling him under me, made me ache for him.

Before I knew what happened, Xander took the control from me. He rolled me over, until he was on top of me, between my thighs. He deepened the kiss, causing me to moan in reply. With each moment the kisses became more urgent and hungry. He started to tail kisses down my neck. I could feel his teeth graze my skin.

As if a bolt of lightning went off, I gasped. “NO BITING. Promise me, No more biting.” As I took his face in my own hands, I looked Xander in the eyes. “Please.”

“No biting.” He replied.

Even though I knew I would be at the other end of his fangs again, I didn’t argue. I just want to feel safe for tonight and in his arms.
