A Vampire's Life Book 1

Chapter 13

"Steph, I am sorry." he whispers, laying on the bed beside me.

"I know. Your mother came to see me."

"So what did you talk about?"

"She explained about your thing." I sigh. "And my thing."

"Are you mad at me still?"

"Alex, I get that there are some things that you can't control but you invaded my privacy."

"I know and again I am sorry."

"Don't enter my head without permission and don't disappear just to perv on me, it's not necessary."

He nods.

"Ok."

"Do you want to know something?"

He looks at me, ever hopeful that it is something good.

"I like Tsar. I like waking up with him in my bed."

He grins, leaning in to kiss me.

"So, you need to be taught how to feed. We might start with some drunk wildlife."

He gets up from the bed and walks into the robe, pulling out a dress. A non-Penny approved dress. More like a scrap of material sewn together. A gorgeous red halter neck dress, open back and short.

"It's a bit cold for that."

"Vampires don't feel the cold the same way that humans do. Dress quickly, I want to try something."

I find him in the formal lounge, he waits for me in front of an enormous mirror. Its gold leaf frame is a pattern of a vine, twisting and wrapping its way around the mirror. He gestures for me to come over.

"How come I can see you in the mirror?"

"That's just a load of folklore rubbish."

"Oh."

He stands behind me with his hands on my shoulders.

"I want you to concentrate really hard. Visualise yourself disappearing."

I close my eyes, feeling his hands leave my shoulders. I can feel him move around me. In my mind I form an image of myself and then make it disappear.

"Open your eyes." he whispers.

I look in the mirror and see nothing except the black brocade lounge suite behind me.

Hold that thought he whispers in my mind. I feel his lips pressing down on mine as he turns me around. Don't be distracted he whispers again. I squeak as he pushes me against the mirror, lifting my dress over my hips. I feel his hands move down again, removing my panties. I cannot see him; I cannot see myself. As my panties are removed from my body they reappear on the ground. I can feel his fingers at the back of my neck, pulling on the clasps for the dress, letting it fall down past my chest. I gasp as he sinks his teeth into my neck, his fingers slinking over me.

"Alex..." I moan out.

Stay focused...

He kisses me and I can taste the blood on his lips, I need him, to taste him. I pull from his kiss and clamp down on his neck, he is so sweet, a better taste than his mother's blood. He groans, I can hear his zip go down and in seconds he is in me. Pulling me from his neck, he holds my jaw, moving in me. We kiss again, the lust for each other, the lust for the blood, it is consuming us. He takes my hands, moving them above my head, trying to restrain me from biting down on him again. His weight on me is heavy, pressing me against the cold mirror, it sounds like it is groaning under the pressure. His blood has filled me with a need, burning through me, the want for more is taking over. I break from his kiss once again and find another vein.

"Oh god." he groans quietly.

I can hear footsteps. Alex puts me down, letting my shoes quietly kiss the ground. He reappears as he is doing his zip up, picks up my panties and quickly stuffs them into his pocket. I slide my dress back over my hips and do up the clips behind my neck and then let the image go. Alex grins at me.

"Well done."

I look at Alex, blood trickles from the two little holes. I take great pleasure in running my tongue up the dribble line.

"Let's go."

I tug on his hand.

"I think you have something of mine."

His father appears at the door.

"Off somewhere son?"

"Yes, going to take Steph into town for some feeding lessons."

"Oh ok. Have fun."

"No driver tonight?"

He shakes his head. "Not tonight."

He opens the door to a sports car, low to the ground, sleek looking. I slide into the leather seat, feeling so low to the ground. Alex slides into this seat, turning over the engine.

"Listen to my baby purr."

"Mm, I think Tsar purrs better than this."

He chuckles as he pulls the car out of the garage.

"So what's the plan?"

I am curious as to how he intends on feeding in a public place.

"Park the car, find a club, find a person, disappear, feed."

My fingers are tied up in knots.

"I have issues with taking a life."

"You will get over it. You can't leave witnesses unless you feed on your own kind."

"Is that what you were doing? With that girl?"

"Yes." he says lowly as he weaves in and out of the traffic.

"Why couldn't you just be honest and tell me?"

"Because I was worried that you would freak out, I didn't want to lose you."

"But you worried for nothing."

"Yes." he frowns with a grin. "You have accepted it rather well."

I shrug.

"Always knew I was different."
