Chapter 9:

This time when I awoke I was in the house on the living room couch with Sookie looking over me.

"Sat, sweetie, are you okay?" She asked me.

"My head and body hurts." I replied.

"I know sweetie it's going to be okay." She said

She was talking to me like a baby, blocking off her mind so I couldn't hear her thoughts, but I knew she felt guilty and she should. She pushed me away, had it not been for her this would not have ever happened. Suddenly I remembered what happened.

"OMG! Where's Eric? Gabriel?" I asked trying to sit up.

"I'm right here Satine" Eric said walking into my view.

"Gabriel?" I asked again.

"I'm ova herre Satine." He mumbled.

I turned my head towards his voice and gasped. His blue eyes were back, but his arm was broken and he had big bruises on his face and what I took to be Eric's handprint around his neck.

"Eric! WHAT THE FUCK?! Why did you do that?" I yelled.

"He BIT me."

"Do you have wounds to prove it?"

"Why do you defend him, you don't even know him." Eric seethed.

"He saved me!"

"He is the reason your car crashed in the first place and then he moved you and the vehicle as if nothing happened!"

"Hey! Everyone needs to stop yelling!" Sookie yelled herself, "Bill can you take Satine upstairs to her bed?"

Bill nodded his silent response and picked me up, but not before I said, "Gabriel, you can come up to, we both need to rest." Eric growled at that but I sent a glare in his direction.

"Gabriel is my friend."

"You know nothing of him." Eric seethed.

"I don't know much about you either Eric, now goodnight!"

With that Bill carried me up the stairs and a broken Gabriel followed close behind as Eric stormed out of the house angry. I was placed in my bed and I patted the spot next to me indicating to Gabriel to take a seat; he did so removing his boots and pants. I had never slept with a guy before, Gran didn't even condone me falling asleep in Jason's room. But I knew nothing would happen. I myself was in a pair of pajama pants and a tank top and I planned to stay in it. We climbed in under the covers and Gabriel turned on his side towards me.

"I'm really sorry bout everything that's gone down." Gabriel apologized.

"It's not all your fault,I'm sorry I got you hurt."

"hmmmm s'okay..... The vampire is your boyfriend?" He asked.

"Eric? No, we've been on a date before, but that's it."

"He seems to have a claim on you."

"I haven't agreed to any claim therefore I am my own."

"Hmmm." Gabriel purred.

"So, you can change into a lion."

"Yeah."

"So when I told you I saw a lion in the middle of the road right before I crashed, I had really seen you?" I questioned.

"Yeah."

"And you let me believe I was crazy, that it was all in my head?"

"I had to, in order to protect my secret and my kind, we are not out like the

Vampires are..... I'm a were-cat, or more specifically a were-lion, I can only change in to a lion." He explained.

"Are there others like you?"

"A few, besides my family."

"Ha, so you guys are a pride" I joked.

"I hate cat jokes remember?"

"sorry, I don't wanna piss of the king of the jungle, hahah, ok really I'm sorry."

"Yeah whatever, but yeah we are a pride, or was.... I live by myself now." he responded.

Things went quiet after that, I wanted to ask him more questions about his family but I also didn't want to pry, and I didn't know what else to say. I was drawn to Gabriel, like a moth to a flame and I hoped to not get burned. But there was something about him, about who he was and the way he acted. His husky voice and accent sent me over the edge, yet he's so reserved and mysterious. I found myself slowly reaching out, running my hand along the side of his face in which he nuzzled into my palm. I hadn't realized how close we were sitting or that our noses were barely touching, but Gabriel's lips were soon on mine. They were warm and soft, his tongue palpable. His hand on my waist was firm and the one on my face soft, holding me to him. Our tongues waged war, but he won dominance. He pulled away catching my bottom lip in his teeth and nibbling, causing an audible moan to escape my lips and my core to throb. He trailed kisses and nibbles down my neck to my collarbone as his hand traveled from my waist up to my stomach.

"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, your scent is... I don't even know how to put it in words, but you taste sweet, exquisite, a rare commodity, vital, essential, life." Gabriel whispered against my skin.

I moaned again at his words and his hand kneading my breast as his tongue plunged back into my mouth, for an injured guy he was doing great things to me.

"Satine, can I taste you? Please?" He asked.

"Wha-?"

"I can smell you, you arousal, I can only imagine how wet you are, but I know you are." He said in an even huskier voice.

Shit, if he knew then that means Eric knew.....ERIC! I couldn't let this keep going, I like Eric, but I was liking Gabriel to. He was over flooding my sense with his touch and smell, I was becoming enthralled if I wasn't already.

"Gabriel I-"

"Please call me Gabe." He interrupted.

"Well, I, I, Gabe, I don't think this is a good idea, I just met you."

"Satine, I don't have to enter you, I just want to make you feel better, take your mind off the pain."

"My sister-"

"Your sister and her vampire left awhile ago before this even started."

I didn't know what to say and I definitely didn't know what to do, but before I could think of anything Gabe was moving down towards my legs. My eyes widened and my body stiffened, I could feel is arousal for me, evident by its large mass pressing into my thigh. My breathing hitched and my heart beat accelerated, he spoke soothing words to calm me down and reassure me he wouldn't hurt me. Slowly he started to pull down my pajama pants leaving me in my thong. He inhaled the air deeply as it was permeated with my scent and sighed heavily with content while licking his lips. No guy had ever gotten his far, hell they never made it past first base. I was about to protest when I felt him pull my thing down, but he quickly shushed me with a probing kiss, and then he quickly moved down between my legs. I had only read about this in romance novels but never did I think I would be doing it.

He blew his breath out onto my mound and my body shuddered. He held onto my hips with his hands, ignoring the fact that one of his arms was broken, and licked my folds with his long thick tongue. I gasped and ahhhed, at the contact, and arched my back as Gabe continued to lick and probe me. I started o buck my hips and my whole body was shaking out of control. I ground my mound into his face and tightened my legs around his head, I had never felt pleasure like this, but I wanted more. Threading my fingers into his golden mane I pulled him closer wanting as much as he could give. He started rubbing my clit with his thumb in little fast circles over and over again and then harder applying pressure and and taking it away again again sending me into a frenzy. I was getting hot and breathing harder as I continuously called out his name. The heat was building and consuming me and I couldn't prevent myself from thrashing until I eventually exploded, my walls clenching together and opening again over and over, a liquid seeping out from with in me as the muscles in my stomach contracted and my back arched. My moan was more of a scream at the release and my body fell limp onto the matteress, but Gabe continued and cleaned me thouroughly.

He moved upward and dropped his boxers allowing me to see him in all his glory and I whimpered slightly at the sight, he was big, to big I was scared.

"Gabe ple-"

"Sssh, baby it's'okay, I won't hurt you, just relax."

He laid on top of me, not entering me, and I could feel his member fold up between us. He raised my tank top and swirled his tongue on my nipple as he started to grind and rotate his hips, moving his member back and forth between us. I was going insane with pleasure by the friction he was causing, and I dug my nails in his back. He sucked and nibbled each nipple blowing air onto them before passionately kissing me. He looked lustfully and intensely into my eyes like the predator he was and said, "Satine, you are every bit of a lioness, so beautiful, yet strong, but soft.... It's taking everything not to make you mine, my queen, grrrr, oh Satine." He growled and purred my name moving faster and elicting more moans from me. We were both very close and soon we climaxed togther, me onto the base of his shaft and him onto my stomach. I was out of breath by now and Gabe was barely able to keep his weight up off of me and on his good arm. He slowly moved down again and cleaned me up and grabbed a tissue from my nightstand to wipe himself off and my stomach. Straightening the sheets out we pulled the covers up over us and Gabe spooned me from behind and we soon fell asleep, never noticing that a floating Eric had watch the whole scene.


OMG!!! Eric saw it all, man, I'm not a begger for reviews but you gotta tell me what your thinking..... Do you like where I'm going with this? Yay or nay, but let me know.... Cause it only gets worse.... Or better depending on how you look at it and from who's point of view!! :)
