Chapter nine
Torin and Hela had gone three gloriously wet and steamy rounds in the shower and as Hela lightly kissed Torin's chest she was about to ask permission to bite him when a sudden pounding came to the bathroom door. "Torin, I know you're in there. Get out her now. You too Hela!" Said a very pissed off Anya.
After a few seconds Torin came out with a towel wrapped around his waist and a second later Hela appeared with a towel wrapped around herself.
"What's the matter, Anya?" Hela asked.
"Don't go all syrupy sweet on me chica. Your brother is the matter."
"Oh gods what has he done. Did he hit on you? He has no self control but it does take me by surprise you're not his type." Hela said.
"No he didn't hit on me he blabbed my secret, one that I planned on surprising Lucien with later tonight. And what do you mean not his type, have you met me? I'm everyone's type. Torin tell her I'm everyone's type." Anya whined.
"Just call me Switzerland. I don't need a pissed off Goddess and an indestructible vampire ganging up to kill me." Torin said as he eased behind Hela for protection.
"Coward." Hela jabbed.
"There you are! I should have known this is where you'd go." Lucien bellowed from the doorway. "I have been flashing all over the fortress trying to find you. Why are you so upset?"
"Because her pig of a brother stole my surprise. I had plans for you tonight! Oh who am I kidding I had plans for you for the rest of the day and night." Anya said as she snuggled into Lucien.
"Well it looks like we interrupted something so how about you fill me in on these plans in private." Lucien said before kissing Anya and flashing out of the room.
"Well before we were interrupted I was about to ask permission to taste you but it seems I need to check on what my brother has gotten himself into." Hela whispered.
"Can't you do both?" Torin said pulling her into his embrace.
"Don't tease me hot stuff, you won't like what you find!"
"I'm serious. I want you to taste me. Disease wants it as well. Please?" Torin pleaded.
Hela tensed and her hands fisted at her sides. Torin wasn't sure if he should make the first move or just hold still. He lightly caressed her bare arms and she leaned back into his chest and sighed. "Hela, please?" Torin begged.
Hela spun in his embrace and her eyes were crystal blue again. When she opened her mouth her fangs were very prominent. She smiled and sniffed the air between them. "You smell so wonderful." Hela said.
"Hela, please I want you to." Torin begged once more.
Hela looked back up at Torin and said one thing, "Hold very still. I promise to only take a small taste if you don't move. Oh and please I'm begging you do not make one sound. This will be more than difficult for me to control and if I'm distracted by any sound or movement I could kill you."
"I trust you. Do you want me to sit or lay down?"
"Sit, lying down might be a distraction to me as well. I need to test out my limits. I don't want to hurt you." Hela pleaded.
As Torin sat down on the edge of the bed he watched Hela pace and mumble to herself. "Is something wrong? You don't have to do this now. I can wait til you are sure." Torin said as he reached for her hand.
Hela swatted him away and her voice became gravelly and there was a feral look about her. "I said no moving. You blood and scent is intoxicating and I am trying to gain some control so I don't harm you."
"I'm sorry. I'll shut up now."
With that Hela jumped onto his lap straddling him and sunk her teeth deep into his neck. Torin's eye immediately rolled into the back and he could hear Disease purring in his mind. This was heaven and he wanted so badly to wrap his arms around her but she said not to move. Just as he thought his body was under control he opened his mouth and said, "Gods Hela this feels wonderful." As soon as the words came out of his mouth he silently started to curse himself for being so stupid. Instantly he felt Hela twitch and she sucked harder. He was about to cry out in pain when she did the most amazing thing and jumped off of him and plastered herself to the wall. She looked like one of those characters from the super hero movies, she actually was holding onto the wall closer to the ceiling than the floor and she was panting and licking her blood stained lips. "I can still smell your blood I need to close your wounds."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to speak. Please forgive me." Torin cried.
"Be quiet. I need Kier, he can help me." Hela screamed. Torin started to stand when she screamed at him again. "I said don't move. I'll get him."
She crouched into a corner and quickly went into a trance like state. When her eyes glazed over still crystal blue in color she screamed out his name. "Kier I need you now."
Moments later Kier misted into the room and surveyed the situation. Instantly he smelled the blood and gazed between Torin and Hela. "You moved didn't you?" Kier said.
"Actually I spoke."
"Even worse. Stay still and silent while I calm her." Kier instructed Torin.
"Bright one, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes and look at me?" Instantly she opened her eyes and dove into her brother's embrace. "Kier, I need to close his wounds but –"
"But you're afraid you'll drink more and hurt him."
"Yes."
"Do you want me to close his wounds?"
"No, no one tastes him but me. I need you to hold me while I do it."
"Okay, come on. I want to talk to my brother when you're done. I can tell that he's worried about you." Kier held Hela tightly around the waist and he could tell that the scent of Torin's blood was really affecting her because she was really straining to get out of his grasp. After she sealed the wound she took a quick look at Torin's pained expression and she ran into the bathroom sobbing.
"Don't worry about her just stay where you're at. I'll get her dressed and out of the way and then we can talk. I'll explain why that was so difficult for her.
It took a few minutes but he finally got Hela to leave. He instructed her to find Cameo and keep her company.
"Okay, here's the deal. Yes you spoke but that's to be expected. It's an amazing rush for both parties involved, but you are her soulmate and your blood calls to her. Among my people there is never a danger of two soulmates getting hurt from a tasting we're just built that way. But you are not vampire and even though you are immortal you can be harmed from fatal wounds. She has not drank another's blood in over 6000 years. I'm amazed she showed such restraint. She knows that you and you alone can give her a child and she desperately wants to protect you from all harm. Even harm from her. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just love her til the end of time. She deserves that much. Oh and welcome to the family. Father is going to have a fit when he finds out she found and tasted her mate without his blessing. "
