Things Are Happening Way Too Fast

Crisslyn sat in a downstairs room in the beach house watching Nicole. Jon had asked her to stay there while the guys went out. It had been several hours since she had told them every thing about her ex, Mark, and she had surprisingly felt better once she got it all out. Nicole was closing the heavy curtains on all the windows in the room and saying something about hating the sunlight. Crisslyn had just shrugged and went back to running a comb through her shoulder-length hair. Nicole had let her borrow an oversized white tee-shirt that she suspected was probably Shane's, to wear to bed. She set the comb on the table beside the bed and crawled under the covers. Wishing it was Jon with her instead of Nicole she sighed heavily.

"What?" Nicole asked climbing into the covers beside her.

"Nothing." She sighed again. "Just a way too eventful day."

"Well, your with us now and we won't let anything happen to you." Nicole smiled at Crisslyn's profile.

"Thanks for being there for me." Crisslyn faced Nicole. "I really needed a good friend."

"I'm really glad it got to be me." Nicole paused and wondered if she should ask her next question. "Do you want to be with Jon?"

"Yes. I really want to but… I don't know… There's something about him that makes me a little skittish. Like he's holding something back. Something I might not like…"

"Well, I can tell you, in spite of his immaturity he actually is a good guy. He doesn't go out of his way to be nice to everyone but he does watch out for his friends." She pondered what to say next. "I know he has deep feelings for you. I've never seen him spend so much time trying not to take advantage of a girl." Crisslyn laughed.

"Wow, that actually made sense to me."

"What do you mean?"

"After he gave me a ride home, he told me to keep his sweat-shirt. I really don't know why but I gave him a hematite necklace in return."

"I wondered where he got that. I notice he hasn't taken it off since. Did something else happen?" Nicole poked fun at Crisslyn.

"We kissed. I mean, I kissed first and then… Well, eventually he was the one who broke it off. He said he had to go but he wanted to see me again."

"Would you have let him in if he had asked?"

"I honestly don't know… Maybe." She hesitated. "I just feel so out of element with him. I do things I don't normally do…"

"Like go for walks on the beach and make out with total strangers?"

"Yeah! And I don't know why?"

"Honey, you're in love." Nicole propped her head up with her arm. "I know dear, I've been there. Still am there actually. You want to spend every waking moment in his arms, next to his warmth, feeling his skin touch you anywhere, everywhere, and you lose focus of the whole world when his lips touch you."

"I do feel that. But this is all happening way too fast."

"Do you want it to?"

"Kind of yes. I don't know why though. I like things to be simple, slow, but with him, everything seems so complicated and rushed."

"You need to let you inhibitions go and just let your heart lead you."

"Last time I did that, I got a hunting knife shoved into my belly." She turned on her side with her back to Nicole. "I'm really tired now." Nicole shook her head but let the conversation drop.

When Crisslyn opened her eyes again the bedside clock read one p.m. She couldn't remember the last time she had slept for eight hours. She sat up groggily and let her eyes adjust to the darkness. Nicole had done a good job of blotting out the sun. Not wanting to wake Nicole, Crisslyn slipped out of bed quietly and found the bathroom. Once she had showered she went looking for something to wear other than Shane's shirt.

There was a big closet in the room where she had slept. She closed the closet door behind her before turning on the light. On one side there were all men's clothes and the other held women's clothes; most of them looked like sun dresses. She knew Nicole wouldn't mind if she borrowed one of the dresses so she picked a navy blue one. The straps tied behind her neck and the skirt hugged her curves down to her knees. She turned the light off and crept out of the room and down the hallway.

She spent a good hour exploring the mansion but didn't find anyone else there. She began to wonder if the group actually lived there or kept another place and just used the mansion for parties. There was some leftover chicken in the fridge that tasted a little overcooked but Crisslyn was too hungry to really care. She wasn't sure if it was safe to leave and she didn't want Nicole to wake up and worry about her so she made her way to what looked like a study where she found a shelf of books. She pulled one out and stretched out on the couch quickly losing herself behind the pages.

When Jon woke up his senses immediately told him that Crisslyn was safe. His nerves eased just a little more when he heard thumping and grunting coming from the closet just a few feet away. Smiling he stretched and got out of bed. Kyle was already up and moving around when Jon emerged from the section of the mine that served as his 'room.'

"Good hunt last night." Kyle joked as he pulled on his sneakers.

"Yeah." Jon wasn't sure why but he wasn't in the most talkative mood. His thoughts remained with Crisslyn. Would she be angry at him for what he had done?

"Jon, we need to talk." Shane's voice, though calm, was more stern than usual. Jon let himself fall onto the couch. He knew what was coming. "I know you care for her. But if you want to be with her, she has to join the tribe. She will find out about us eventually. When she does, she has to make her choice." Jon nodded without looking at Shane. "Now it's been a while since any of us had a really good feeding." Shane sent Jon a pointed look. Shane knew about the girl Jon had killed last night but he had barely drank from her at all. Shane didn't really approve of frenzied attacks that were more out of anger than thirst. "So I suggest we go out for a drink before going back to the girls."

"What about Nicole." Kyle knew Nicole hadn't fed in a while either. He his voice hinted he was worried.

"She can handle herself." Shane said proudly. "Let's go."

Nicole's phone was the only thing that woke her up. She shot up when it rang and looked around wildly until she found it next to her pillow. When she answered it she knew it was Shane's voice.

"Hey sleepy." Shane teased when he heard her garbled hello.

"Hey." She managed to get out through a yawn.

"Let Crisslyn know she's perfectly safe." Shane's voice was cut off by Jon asking if he could talk to Crisslyn. Shane laughed and asked it Crisslyn was still asleep too. That was when Nicole realized she was in bed alone.

"Shit! She's gone!" Nicole untangled herself from the sheets and made her way into the hallway.

"Relax, I just said she's safe. Look, we found Mark and he's been… Detained for the time being." She could hear both Kyle and Jon laughing. "So let her know she's okay to go home for a while if she wants. And I know you need to feed, right?" It wasn't until he actually said the words that Nicole realized just how thirsty she was.

"I haven't event thought about it all night. I was too caught up in Crisslyn to worry about anything else." Nicole felt just a little stupid.

"Caring about people does that to you." Shane sounded like he understood and made Nicole smile.

"We're going down to the reef for a while. You go find yourself some fun and we'll meet back at the nest okay. I love you."

"I love you too." She snapped the phone shut and went looking for Crisslyn.

Ten minutes later Nicole let out a laugh. There was Crisslyn on the couch in the study with three books on the couch beside her and a fourth book in her hand. Crisslyn looked up and asked what was so funny.

"Please tell me you haven't been sitting here reading all day long."

"Not a whole lot else to do." Crisslyn shrugged as she stood and started to put the books back on the shelf. Nicole felt a twinge of regret for laughing at her friend.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to…"

"It's cool Nic, I know you didn't. Besides, there are some pretty interesting books here. I didn't know Shane was such an avid reader on vampire mythology." Crisslyn turned just in time to see a look pass over Nicole's face. "Shane doesn't read about vampire mythology does he Nicole." A smirk played at the corners of Crisslyn's mouth.

"Actually, this wasn't always Shane's place. He bought it from the weird guy from Santa Carla. When we moved in, the guy had left all his stuff here. But this isn't the only place Shane has."

"I kinda got that impression when I went exploring today." She plopped back down on the couch. "Any news from the outside world?"

"Yes, actually there is great news." Nicole took the seat beside Crisslyn. "I have been instructed to tell you that you are perfectly safe to go home with no worries at all." Nicole smiled. "And by the way, keep that dress, it looks awesome on you."

"Oh, thanks." Crisslyn paused. "Did um… Did Jon say anything?"

"I believe he is going to meet you at your place later after he does something with the guys. So come on. I can take you home in Chris' old car."

Once Crisslyn was back at her cabin she raided her fridge for soda and sandwiches. After her belly was full she pulled out her sketch pad and pencils. It had been a long time since she had drawn anything but now, she felt that old rush that fueled her artistic brain. Smiling, she started drawing a face. Such a handsome face…

Crisslyn had just finished filling in the shadows of the drawing when a she heard thumping coming form her front door. She left the drawing on the small kitchen table and made her way to the door. She pulled the blinds back just enough to see who it was and opened the door. There stood the inspiration of her current masterpiece.

"Can I come in?" Jon's nearly had to shout over the howl of the wind outside.

"Yeah, of course." She stood back and let him enter her kitchen area. Almost immediately his eyes went to the table where her pad was laid out.

"Been thinking about me?" He asked as he pulled her into his arms.

"Maybe a little." He kissed her gently. "So what happened with Mark? Is he gone for good?"

"Definitely." He kissed her again.

"What did you guys do?" Crisslyn hoped it wasn't anything that would get them in trouble.

"I don't want to talk about that right now." His kiss was deeper this time.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't." He kissed the side of her neck.

"Neither do I…" She tilted her head to give him better access and moaned as his mouth suckled her skin. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, setting her down so her legs hung off the side. The floor was cold on her bare feet but it barely registered in her mind. He started kissing her ankles then moved up to her knees. She tried to keep herself propped up so she could watch him but the dizziness was too much and she fell onto her back. His arms trailed up and down her legs as his mouth kissed between each of her thighs. He twisted her body around so she lay in the middle of the bed. Through the thin cotton of the dress he could see every sweet curve on her body. He continued kissing her thighs and she arched her back and moaned louder. It had been a very long time since she had been touched so tenderly. He pushed the dress up till he could see her stomach and was surprised to see black lacy thong panties. Her hand quickly moved to cover the scar that she was so self-conscious of. He took her hand and moved it away as he kissed the area around her belly-button.

"Don't cover yourself. You're so beautiful." He said between kisses. "I want to see every inch of your beautiful skin." She reached up and untied the strap that tied behind her neck and pulled at the dress till it came off of her, leaving her with only her black bra and panties. Jon had never been so turned on. Seeing this sweet and timid girl wearing such sexy lingerie made his jeans feel very tight. He stood and ripped his shirt off and was ready to shove his jeans off equally as fast until he saw how she was watching him. He smiled and made a show of unbuckling his belt and slowly pushed his jeans off his legs. His black boxer shorts did very little to hide what was underneath and Crisslyn's eyes went wide with anticipation. She licked her lips and without even realizing what she was doing she sat up and hastily pulled his shorts down.

Jon was caught off guard when she pulled him down on the bed with her. She straddled him and sat up while taking both of his hands and leading them to the cups of her bra. He squeezed at her softness and she threw her head back. He let his hands run down her sides and she squirmed and giggled as he found her ticklish spots. Her squirming caused his already raging hard-on to pulsate making him squirm as well. It was her turn to put on a show as she slowly unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor. She grabbed both of her breasts and rubbed in a circular motion. She was only a B-cup, but watching her fondle herself was almost too much for Jon to handle. He bucked slightly letting her know how ready he was but she wasn't quite done playing yet. One of her hands found its way into her panties and Jon could only imagine what was going on down there.

He couldn't take anymore. He grabbed her and flung her under him. His hand went for her panties and when he pulled them off he could feel how wet they were. Once the panties came off the air filled with her scent and Jon took a second to breath it in before lowering himself onto her. Her legs parted and she arched her back giving him a full invitation to take her. He kissed her soft lips and massaged her tongue with his as he lowered himself more. He pushed himself into her and she cried out in pain. He pulled back instantly but her arms wrapped around him and pulled him towards her. He pushed inside her again and he could tell she was trying not to cry out.

Damn, but she was tight! Opening her was like opening a virgin. He pushed as slowly as he could. It was difficult for him because his entire body was in overdrive but he didn't want to hurt her. Finally when he was all the way in he paused and let her body get used to him. She began to wiggle her hips and it sent electric shocks up and down his body. He kissed her neck as he moved his hips back and forth. The grunts of pain she was emitting soon became moans of pleasure and he quickened his pace. Her legs wrapped themselves around him and it opened her up even more. Jon didn't know how long he was going to last but he was determined to pleasure Crisslyn until she couldn't move.

Jon let out a yelp of his own as he felt Crisslyn tightening herself around him. Her muscles flexed and made her feel so tight he could barely move himself in and out of her. How did she learn to do that! Jon quickly lost control of himself and sat up while pushing into her harder and faster. He held her legs apart and grunted as he drove into her. Her moans became shorter and louder until she started screaming. He could feel warm liquid rushing at him from inside her and it sent him over the edge. He quickly released inside her and fell down on top of her. Both of them were gasping for air and Jon rolled over onto his side. Watching her glistening chest heave for air was one of the most fascinating sights he had ever seen. Up and down…

Something was ringing. It took Jon several seconds to realize it was his cell phone.

"Yeah," he whispered trying not to wake Crisslyn.

"Jon, where the hell are you?" Nicole's voice nagged him.

"I'm with Crisslyn." He shook his head trying to wake himself up.

"All damn night? What the hell have you been doing? Wait, I really don't want to know. Just get your ass back here. It's fifteen minutes till sunrise!" Jon glanced at his watch.

"Shit!" Crisslyn started to stir. "I'll be there soon." He hung up and quickly got dressed. "Sweetness…" He whispered in Crisslyn's ear and kissed her cheek. "Wake up Sweetness."

"Wha…" Her eyes opened and she yawned.

"I'm sorry. I need to go." He kissed her lips. "You need to wake up so you can lock this door behind me."

"I thought it was safe?" She sat up suddenly.

"It is from Mark, but I don't want anyone else getting any ideas about my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? Am I?" She smiled lazily.

"Do you want to be?"

"Yes."

"Than you are." He kissed her again before she stood up and wrapped the blanket around her. She followed him to the door and they shared one last kiss before he stepped onto the porch. He stood there until he heard the dead-bolt click into place. Then he made his way down the stairs to is bike.
