Tonight, Alexander and I decided that we were going to stay inside the mansion. We're going to watch "Let the Right One in", so Alexander went to get the snacks. I was reclined on the couch with my feet up on the headrest waiting for him. I closed my eyes to just listen to the creaking of the old house as Alexander and Jameson moved about. I heard footsteps coming toward the entertainment room and open my eyes to see Alexander and Sebastian come in. "Raven, look who's come to-" They both stopped and stared at me.
"What?" I asked confused. Quickly Sebastian's face turned pink and he looked away. Alexander's eyes turned red but his cheeks were also turning pink. Ok, I know I officially qualify in the 'Hot' department where Goths are concerned, but come on! They act like they never seen me before. I had my usual beat-up combat boots, black spider-web knee-high stockings, my 'Emily the Strange' tank top, and black/red pleated mini-skirt… Oooooooh!
Quickly, I sat up and fixed my skirt to properly cover my bottom. Now I'm sure my face was a bright shade of red. "Sorry… I didn't realize," I explained. I looked away from them and crossed my legs feeling suddenly exposed. Alexander came and sat down next to me, but I was too embarrassed to look at him. How could I? I just flashed his best friend my goods in front of him!
I heard Sebastian clear his throat as he still stood in the doorway. "I um… should go. I just thonged by… STOPPED BY… to say 'hey' so… yeah. I'll… uh…" Then you could hear his footsteps rushing away and the sound of the stairs creaking, and finally the sound of the front door closing. There was an awkward silence for a while.
Alexander and I just sat there and I was feeling a little stupid. Usually I wore my bicycle shorts under my skirts, but we weren't going out so I didn't put them on. I also didn't think about my racy panties when I had my feet up, I just wanted to relax. If it was just Alexander, maybe it would have started something hot and heavy, but it wasn't. "I'm really sorry, about Sebastian seeing my…"
"Don't worry about it," Alexander assured me. "Next time I'll give you a heads-up if he thongs by again." Then we both started laughing and the tension eased up. "So does that mean, you're not sorry about me seeing?" Alexander asked. I thought about it before answering.
"You're my boyfriend and I love you. You're allowed to see whatever you want." I looked at Alexander finally and saw he was analyzing what I said. He didn't respond, and I started to feel self-conscious. Then Alexander got up to put in the movie and bring over the tray of snacks. When the DVD started, he turned out the light and came back over to sit next to me.
After a while of watching the previews, Alexander spoke. "What if I wanted to see more?" My breath hitched and couldn't stop the slow start of a smile. I felt Alexander wrap his arms around me and pull me closer. I snuggled up to him.
"Then it's your move." As soon as the words left my mouth I felt anxious and excited over what he might do. The movie started to play but Alexander brought my face to look up at him as he leaned down to kiss me. Our lips pressed together and he tightened his hold a little. Then we kissed again but it was lighter. He trailed his lips to deliver feather light kisses at the corner of my mouth, my jaw, my neck, and my earlobe. I felt his fangs lightly nipping at my skin before he came back to my lips. I parted them and he took the advantage. Our tongues intertwined and we moaned into the kiss. My hands were caressing his chest and the back of his neck. Alexander started moving his hands, rubbing my arms, then my sides. On one hand, his thumb was caressing the side of my right boob, but the other hand was moving downward. When he reached the hem of my skirt, he didn't hesitate to slowly pull it up. My heart beat faster and I was sure he could hear it. His cool hand was tracing the side of my thigh as he brought my skirt up to my hip. I pulled from the kiss and the look on his face looked like he was rethinking what he was doing. But I didn't want him to stop. So I sat up, making my skirt fall back in place, and straddled him with my knees bent on the sides of his hips. Alexander put both hands on my waist and I grabbed them to put them back under my skirt. Immediately he began rubbing my upper thighs before rounding to my backside. I pulled my skirt up all the way and unzipped it before pulling it over my head. Alexander sucked in a breath. I spread my thighs further apart to bring myself closer to him.
"Raven I think we should stop," he said all of a sudden. I froze and looked at him surprised. "If you do anymore I won't be able to control myself," he explained.
"Who says you have to control yourself?" I asked him innocently. "I'm all yours for the taking Alexander. If you don't want to go all the way, we don't have to." He leaned back into the sofa cushion and exhaled. "That doesn't mean you can't look… or touch," then I kissed his lips moving mine slowly over his, "or taste." Alexander pulled me tightly against him and kissed me with primal passion. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him with abandon. He groped and kneaded my arse cheeks. We both moaned and I started to undulate my hips against the bulge in his pants. Alexander pulled out from under me quick, breaking the kiss, and stood up. His erection was very defined in his skinny jeans and I smirk over having been able to provoke it out of him. "Need help taking them off?" I asked suggestively.
"Raven, I don't want to hurt you, we're not going to have sex. I can't bare the thought of causing you any kind of pain… no matter how brief." Alexander looked at me seriously.
"So you're never going to have sex with me?" I asked incredulously.
"I didn't say that, I…" he scrubbed a hand over his face and pushed back his hair that fell over his eyes. Finally he said quietly, "I don't know, Raven. I want to, really, really, want to be with you in every way, but not if you get hurt in the process." He explained.
Was he kidding? "Alexander, it's going to hurt regardless, and I'm not going to be a virgin forever!" I felt hurt and rejected. Alexander was still shaking his head and pacing the floor. I wanted him to come back to me and… "Why don't we just go back to enjoying each other? Remember, looking, touching, and tasting. It doesn't apply to just me. Come be with me Alexander. I want you and I know you want me too. We'll go slow, ease into it." my argument seemed fairly reasonable. He still wasn't looking at me so I stood up and walked over to him but stopped short.
"You should go," was all he said. Without looking at me, Alexander moved past me and out of the room. I was shocked that he just left me like that. I heard his attic room door shut and a tear slipped down my cheek. I turned around and went to turn on the light so I could find my discarded skirt. I looked around and grabbed my overnight bag and left. Too bad I couldn't find my pride. I walked out of the mansion in a trance not fully understanding what went wrong. Grabbing my bike I walked down the driveway and past the gates. Now what? My parents allowed me to stay the night at the mansion, even though I'm already eighteen, but Alexander kicked me out. I didn't want to go back home. Becky was supposed to be at some sleepover the cheerleaders invited her to. Now that she was dating Matt, they were including her in everything so I didn't get to see her much anymore. I pulled out my phone and scrolled down my contact list. "Hey! Sebastian, it's me, Raven."
"Raven, I'm really sorry about earlier, I was just caught off guard. Are we cool?" Sebastian was a good friend to me and best friends with Alexander. I trust him, and maybe he could tell me what's going on with Alexander.
"Yeah, don't worry about it, I'm sorry too. But, um, I was just calling because I need a place to crash for the night and thought you could help me out."
"That's fine with me, but I thought you were staying over Alexander's… was it because of me?"
"No, not really. We had a fight and he told me to leave. I don't want to go home, Becky's with some friends and I feel like crap right now." I started to choke up and felt like I was going to start crying at any moment.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I've got your back, come on over I was just about to order some pizza. But you might want to bring over some Dr. Pepper, I'm all out." I thanked him and hung up before getting on my bike. I rode to the store and picked up the soda. As I stood in line I notice a magazine with a highlight of "What guys secretly fantasize about and how to seduce them." Of course, I grabbed it. After paying for everything and grabbing the bag, I rode off to Sebastian's apartment building.
When I got there he was outside paying for the pizza. I smiled when I saw him wearing a Goth Tweety Bird shirt and Scarface pajama pants. Of course he was barefoot. When the pizza guy drove off, Sebastian noticed me and grinned like he won a prize. "Scarface?" I asked.
"Gotta love the classics, wanna watch?" he asked.
"Sure." I followed him inside the building and headed towards the elevator.
"It's broke, so we gotta take the stairs." My eyes widened.
"But you're on the ninth floor! You do realize I'm still human right?"
"Yeah and so are my neighbors." He retorted. I couldn't help but smirk. "Come on, get your pretty ass up there." Now he laughed and I narrowed my eyes before laughing as well.
"Good thing your building had a bike rack." When we went to the staircase Sebastian offered to carry all my bags and I was grateful. With his vampire strength helping me out, the climb became much more doable. By the time we got to his floor, I was panting and sweating.
