Four months later Athelstan had become used to living with the vampire family. He could do his chores without being watched. He knew Ragnar and Lagertha's schedule's well enough to have everything ready before they got home. He had gotten used to the feedings and the way Ragnar and Lagertha teased him during. He knew they wanted to have sex with him and on a few occasions he almost said yes, but he was afraid. He wasn't afraid of any pain he knew his first time would hurt, no he was afraid of not being wanted by them anymore. Ragnar and Lagertha enjoyed his virgin blood and his innocence. If he lost both then they may not have use for him anymore. Athelstan had many nightmares about what would happen if they didn't need him, from selling him to another vampire or killing him.

Athelstan woke next to the warm body of Ragnar. An arm around his waist not letting him move. The body next to him began to stir "How long have you been awake?" Athelstan asked.

"Not long" Ragnar replied. He moved his arm up Athelstan's body and curled his fingers around his chin. He shifted Athelstan's head so he could get to his neck. He gave it a tantalising lick before pushing his fangs in.

Athelstan resisted the urge the squirm and relaxed. Breathing deeply he let Ragnar drink.

Ragnar removed his fangs and licked away any excess blood "Breakfast in bed is so nice" he purred in Athelstan's ear.

"Don't you have work?" Athelstan asked.

"No" Ragnar replied.

"Why not?" Athelstan asked.

"Because I'm the boss and I can do what I want. Like stay in bed all day with you" Ragnar replied, tucking himself further into bed.

"Well I guess you can but I'm hungry and I have chores to do" Athelstan said.

Ragnar made a grunt of disapproval but let Athelstan go. When Athelstan go out of bed Ragnar quickly gave his backside a quick pinch, laughing when Athelstan squeaked in surprise.

After breakfast Athelstan got on with his daily chores. Every few hours or so Ragnar would call him up stairs so he could have a snack. During this time Ragnar would tease him. Athelstan didn't mind if fact he relished these times. It made him feel wanted and a part of a family. Some would call him stupid or crazy but he wouldn't care.

"Athelstan" Ragnar said.

"Yeah?"

"Have sex with me" Ragnar said.

"As straight forward as always" Athelstan said "No"

Ragnar balled his fist in anger and towered over Athelstan "Why?" he hissed. He forced Athelstan to look at him and said "Tell me"

"I-" Athelstan wasn't sure what to tell him, anything but the truth "I'm just not interested in sex" he lied.

"Liar!" Ragnar suddenly shouted.

"R-Ragnar I'm not lying. I-" before Athelstan could say anything else Ragnar roughly kissed him on the lips. He felt Ragnar undo his jeans button and zipper and a warm hand rub his crotch area. Athelstan moaned as his tongue danced with Ragnar's, he didn't have the strength to stop his hand rubbing his hardening erection.

When Athelstan was hard enough Ragnar stopped and pulled away from him "Looks like you are interested in sex after all" he taunted.

"Don't-" Athelstan said hoarsely.

Ragnar glared and then turned away "Get on with your chores" he said.

Athelstan stumbled out of bed and made himself descent. A cold shower got rid of his erection and some deodorant got rid of the smell. Ragnar didn't call him again, Athelstan hoped he hadn't put too much strain on their relationship.
