End of Heartache, the Continued Case of.... (Sebastian x Reader)

Chapter 21

I wasn't even sure how I got home. All I know is Claude brought me here.

Carefully he sat me down on my sofa. As he tried to walk away I reached out and clutched his arm.
"Please don't go" I begged him.

"I'm just getting you a blanket. I'll be right back" He told me, his eyes softening for the briefest of seconds.

"Promise" I couldn't help but ask

"Promise" He told me squeezing my hand for comfort.

Nodding I watch as he walked off into my room. I couldn't help it, I sat there shaking as I waited for him to come back. Eric had tried to eat me. I had almost died.
His salivating face and his piercing red eyes replayed over and over again in mind. I couldn't help but cry. I hated feeling like this, feeling weak and frail. But the more I saw this face darting out to kill me, the longer I cried and the harder my body shook.

That's how Claude found me.

Next thing I know he's pulled me into his lap and has the blanket wrapped around the both of us.
"It's okay now. I've got you. He can't hurt you anymore" He whispered those three phrases over and over again until my crying finally stopped.

I just buried my head further into his chest as I gently hiccuped. I knew I should be pretending to hate him, but I just couldn't. Right now, I just felt so safe in his arms.

"Claude?" I whispered scared my voice would break if it went any higher.

"What is it?" He asked stroking my hair.

"What are we?"

"What do you mean?" He asks pushing me away from his chest to stare my in the face.

"What are we? Friends? Enemies? People who pretend to hate one another but secretly like them? Lovers?
I'm just so confused. Because we argue and avoid each other like no tomorrow but we just keep coming back to situations like this. A bit like when you found (y/n) again for the first time. We argued and said we hated each other because of what happened, but we only went and slept together once again. Then a few weeks ago, we were arguing then as soon as Sebastian and (y/n) left we were tearing the other clothes off.
So I ask. What are we?"

Claude just stared at me and for the longest time I was sure he wasn't going to answer. I was convinced he would just bypass the question or worse tell me he was just using me. What I never expected was his answer.
"Were whatever you want us to be. If you just want me as a friend I'll take that. If you want me as a lover, I'd gladly accept. If you wanted me as an enemy, if it meant I could stay in your life I would become that person. If you wanted to pretend we hated each other I can do that, but it would only ever be pretend. I could never hate you.

As much as I've tried I just can't hate you. Your addictive and bad for my health. But maybe that's okay.
I never ever dreamed of falling for a human. But then again my species is apparently doomed to do just that. And if this....." he announced lifting his shirt for me to gaze at his hip.

".....if this symbol is anything to go by, then I'm glad my soul is doomed to love you. But I was worried. Worried you wouldn't love me back"

I didn't know what to say. I had only dreamed he would say something like this to me. Only dreamed he felt the same way about me. But he was right. We were bad for each other, but we were doomed to stay together.

With nothing else left to say I just joined my lips onto his. At first I could tell he was shocked but then. Then his lips just settled perfectly against mine as he kissed me back with a sweet tenderness I had never known from him before.

~Lemon happens here~

I wrapped my arms round his neck as his snaked round my waist, pulling us closer in turn deepening our kiss. My fingers slid up to grab small fistfuls of his soft black hair and I tugged ever so gently upon it, a delicate moan escaping my throat as I felt his teeth graze along my lower lip. I have never experienced any other side to him but the one of hot raw and angered passion , but I'll admit I was enjoying this side of him more and more, the longer our kiss went on for.

"Claude" I moaned into his lips as my legs moved round to straddle his hips.

"Don't talk. Just feel" He whispered against my neck.
His teeth gently grazed along my neck, as my breath hitched in my throat.

I wanted to tell him to stop. That right now we shouldn't be doing this. What if Sebastian came back and saw us like this. But his hands trailed round to hug me closer and I lost all thoughts of protest. Being this tight against his chest felt so natural. His lips against my neck, so right. I hated that I loved him but I did.

As if acting from memory, my hands began to trace the familiar curve of his shoulders down to his chest. My fingers tugged at the buttons on his shirt and I physically felt him smile into my skin. He had a way of making me act crazy. And right now he was doing just that. I tried to stop I really did, but when his hands began to pull at the hem of my t-shirt, I couldn't say no.

Raising my arms I let him pull my t-shirt off. Slowly he pulled the material over my stomach, his fingers tickling my skin the whole journey upwards. I couldn't help but smile into his soft golden eyes. He smiled back and I could help lean forward to kiss the small upturned corner of his mouth. It was such a heart warming smile, I prayed I could see it more often. Prayed it was a smile he would save just for me.

The next thing to be removed was his shirt. Sliding it up over his head my fingers traced the dents and rivets his muscles formed along his arms. I slowly removed the soft fabric and once both our chests were bare he pulled me in close. My body fitting perfectly against his.

Sebastian always told me that we were made to fall in love with just one person. Sure we could love hundreds of others, but you could only be in love with one. That was your soul mate. Your body's other half. With the way Claude's body wrapped perfectly against mine Sebastian's words rang truer than ever. I had found my soulmate.
A few months ago if you had asked what I felt about Claude, I would have told you he could have dropped of the face of the earth for all I cared.
But now, now I couldn't imagine my life without him. Funny how one person can mean so much.

"Why do I love you?" He asked me as he kissed down from my neck and across my chest.
"I've never loved anything in my life, I killed my own master because I was bored. I've also taken what I wanted when I wanted it. Never cared for another's life......"

"Umm Claude do you have a point with this? It's kinda a turn off" I smile sheepishly down at him. His kisses had reached my hips but I his words were just so off putting.

"See what I mean....I'm useless at this stuff. But with you. I want to care about others if that other person is you. I want to be romantic and gushy if it makes you smile. I want to sensual and sexy if I can hear you say my name" He smiled before looping his fingers in my trousers slowly pulling them down.

"I think I love you, not because of some ancient witch cursing me too, but rather because you make me want to be better. Not to the point where everyone likes, but just to the point where you love me" He says his hands now tickling back up my bare legs.

My back arched the closer up the thighs he got. The familiar tingles his fingers brought had returned. I couldn't help but part my legs a little further, hinting at exactly what I wanted.

I heard him chuckle as I felt his fingers slide up gently rub me over my underwear.
"Oh God Claude" I moaned

His fingers gently rubbed up and down. Cupping my entire sex in his hand he gave it a gentle squeeze.
"I love the way my name sounds as it rolls of your tongue" He purrs, planting soft kisses and little bites up my legs.
"I'm going to make you think of nothing but me and my name all night long. I love you Julie and I'm going to show you just how much"

I squirm beneath him knowing what's going to come.

That night Sebastian never came home. But I wouldn't have noticed anyway. True to his words I spent my night calling out 'Claude'. Spent my night travelling to my own personal heaven and back again.

After the hell I'd seen in the dungeon I just needed a bit of heaven. I found it ironic how it was a demon to take me there but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I loved Claude and falling asleep curled in his arms was the only place I wanted to be.
