The Thirst In Me

Fifty-Three

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."- Confucius

Keisha's POV

Life can take us places we never wanted to go and make us do things we never thought we would do. I looked over at Akeem snoring away and I can just imagine what he is going through. I was in the same position when I thought all my family has been wiped out. That loneliness and hopelessness is something no child should have to bear.

He rolled over turning his back to me. Ever since the first time he slept here, he has been restless, tossing and turning in his sleep. I wanted to help him so badly but I didn't know how.

Veron still hasn't figured out where Malik took those people and it is driving me crazy. I sighed and got out of bed. I took out Malik's letters deciding to delve into the past. He seemed to be such a better person then.

April 25, 1842

Dear Malik,

I am as big as a cow. The baby is tossing and turning in my tummy. I can't wait for him to just pop out. I know I will have to wait for two more months and I hope the government will give you some time off to witness the birth of your first son. In the meanwhile, please be safe and say hello to your brother for me.
Love always,
Sophia.

Their story was so beautiful, I wanted to copy these letters and write a book about it but I couldn't. Malik didn't know I had these letters and I imagine how furious he will be when he finds out.

Akeem tossed and turned again and I didn't know what to do to ease his restlessness.

A text came in on my phone and I grabbed it quickly so it wouldn't disturb the sleeping boy.

I  need more memories babe 💏💞- Veron.

I giggled as I quickly typed my response.

It's past midnight. No sex for you.😛-K.P.

😣😔-Veron

Don't look too sad. Remember you have the rest of your life to regain all those memories.- K.P.

Are you proposing to me babe??💍💝👀

➡🛌. Goodnight Veron. -K.P

I placed my phone on my pillow and smiled to myself. Veron always makes me smile despite all the madness going on around us.

Regardless of telling him to go to his bed, I found myself paddling towards Veron's bedroom, with adrenaline and anxiety coursing through my veins.

I didn't knock. Once I reached the door I just pushed it open knowing that the scent of my blood was too strong for him to miss.

"I knew you couldn't stay away." He smirked when he saw me. He was leaning on his dresser wearing shorts that hung dangerously low on his hips, exposing his v-line. I tried to focus on his face as best as I could.

"I just thought Akeem needed a little breathing room. He has been tossing and turning all night." I told him my lame excuse.

He snickered. "Right. So you're here because Akeem isn't sleeping well?" He mocked me with his smile knowing I had ulterior motives. 

I stepped closer to him deciding to come clean. "I'm here to tuck you in," I told him. ".....if that's all you want."

"You know that's not all I want." He said, stepping closer to me. He kissed me softly below my ears. "I want to fulfill all your sexual desires." He said and I gulped.

We've been together for a while now and I still get nervous around him sometimes. I keep forgetting the benefits of having a boyfriend.

He traced his hand down my jawline as he dipped his head to kiss me. "You have no idea of the things you do to me K.P." He murmured against my lips causing a shiver to run down my spine.

You don't know the things you are doing to me! I thought to myself when I felt my heartbeat quickening.

He stopped kissing me but his lips remained on mine, unmoving. All that could be heard was our shallow breathing as our hormones peaked.

He waited. It was as if he was asking me if he could continue kissing me or if he should stop. There was no way I was telling him to stop!

I stood on my tiptoe bringing my lips closer to his and he took it like a hungry wolf. He kissed me fervently as if his life depended on it.

The thing about having sex with a vampire was no matter how slow they went it was always faster than normal.

Veron pulled down the zipper on my dress and a moan escaped my lips as his cold fingers brushed against my warm skin. My dress fell to the floor as he carried me towards the bed.

He continued kissing me as he spoke softly to me. His voice was both sensuous and raspy and it seemed to turn me on even more.

He whispered into my ear. "Do you want me to kiss you here?" He asked and I arched my back as his fingers grazed over my already hard nipples.

"Y-yes." I gave him my shaky, almost inaudible response.

He chuckled a bit, knowing the effect he had on me. His tongue caressed my nipples giving each of them an equal amount of time and love. He was driving me toward the edge of an orgasm and I wrapped my legs around his waist trying to relieve some of the pressure that was building between my legs.

"Not yet K.P." He removed my legs from around him and I cocked my hips allowing him to remove my panties. He spread my legs wide and gasped.

"What's wrong?" I asked, trying to close my legs. I felt exposed and vulnerable.

Veron didn't allow me to close my legs as he spread them even wider. "God, you're beautiful!" He let out a low whistle as he ran a finger down my middle. "And you're so damn wet for me!"

He slid his finger in and I rocked my hips against his finger trying to pleasure myself.

He dipped his tongue into my ear while he fingered me. This was awesome and I wanted more. I pulled him closer to me and I felt him smile against my neck as he pulled his finger out. I whimpered at the loss of contact.

He smirked. "I can't read your mind babe so you'll have to tell me what you want." He taunted me, knowing how shy and conservative I was.

My breathing came in quick short breaths and I knew there was no place here for any shyness. "I want your pole deep inside me," I told him and his eyes darkened.

"Your wish is my command." He said and I threw my head back against the pillow as he thrust into me over and over.
