Nikola stood shocked for a moment as his eyes roamed the body of the woman standing in front of him. Rosella was wearing a type of sheer black nightgown that tied in the front, soft black material rustled against her skin as Nikola closed the distance between the two of them. He wrapped one arm around her waist and moved a hand to raise her chin up so he could capture her lips in a kiss. She closed her eyes and made a small noise as she felt his tongue find its way out of Nikola's mouth and brush against her lips. The air left her lungs as their tongues met, gently rubbing against each other as Nikola let his hand drop softly down her back to rest on her bottom. To her he tasted like wine, not the kind he usually drank but a strong red wine that had been aged. After all, he really was like a red wine. He was old, far older than her, and he was strong especially after being made into a vampire again…
Her hands went to the shirt he was wearing as they broke apart from the kiss; ever so slowly she pulled the shirt from his body and tossed it amongst the mess on the floor. She let a hand run through his messy hair and silently she wondered if she had interrupted his sleep, though he never really did sleep much even as a vampire when she was growing up. He stepped away from her for a moment, a finger to his lips as he turned around to search for something. Always one for classical things, she watched as he took a large black disc and placed it on the device before bringing the needle down. She paused for a moment as the song played, remembering it as the first thing she had learned to play on the piano. For a moment her fingers moved in the air, Liszt usually did that to her. And this song was of particular interest, it was Liebesträume No. 3 in A flat. It always affected her in such an odd way, relaxing yet it made her heart beat a little faster.
She had figured he would do this, just to mask any noise that they would be making so no one would get curious and interrupt them. When he walked back over to her he had removed his belt and shoes, finding it to be fair since she was practically naked already. His hands rubbed along her sides and his lips soon found her skin, planting soft kisses along her neck and collarbone. For the briefest of moments she moaned as he paused feeling blood flowing just beneath her neck. Her body shuddered at the sensation of him being this close to her and knew exactly what he was doing to her. Butterflies danced in her stomach as he gently nipped at her neck and sucked the spot above her vein with care.
Her legs felt like jelly under his touch and she wasn't sure how much more of it she could take before the night was over. Thankfully he became preoccupied with untying her nightgown and was no longer delivering a barrage of love bites to her sensitive neck. His slender fingers held the night gown in place as he gently guided her to sit down on the bed. She leaned against the pillows that were resting on the headboard, noting that he had leaned with her and moved so that one of his legs rested somewhat comfortably between her legs.
His gray eyes stared down at her and bored right into her soul, she couldn't help but blush knowing that there would be no turning back now for either of them. Finally he let the nightgown fall to the sides of her body, revealing the pale flesh that lay underneath. One hand cupped a breast, his thumb gently stroking her nipple as she started to shift about slightly on the bed. He smiled at her and placed a reassuring kiss on her lips, certain to distract her as his other hand traced lazy circles down the front of her stomach. The hand slipped just under her panties and one finger made strong strokes against her clit. Her stomach muscles tensed up and she gripped Nikola's shoulder, moaning softly in the night air.
He had found her clothing to be rather troublesome as of late, he knew she might get mad but vamped out anyways and cut the material from her body. Rosella raised her head slightly and glared at him, resisting the urge she had to hit him on the shoulder.
"Nikola… Ich gerade gekauft habe daß." She was mildly upset over the loss of her undergarments but knew that she could always get more.
A grin replaced his smile before he lowered his face and licked down her stomach, laughing as he felt her muscles jump beneath her skin. She held her breath in anticipation, watching until his face disappeared from her view. A hand pushed apart her thighs slightly and it wasn't a moment later that she felt one of his fingers slip into her womanhood. Her hips moved slightly against his finger, but there was little time to ponder as the finger stroking her clit was soon replaced by Nikola's tongue.
One of her hands clenched the soft covers beneath her, and she found her toes curling slightly at the pleasure of Nikola's tongue. He slipped his finger out of her, making sure that she was wet enough before using two fingers to stimulate her. The stretching sensation was odd to her and she knew that when the time came this would make it a little less painful for her. His tongue flicked across her clit one last time before he brought his thumb to rub against it, in time with the thrusts of his fingers. He gently nipped along the inside of her thigh, pausing as he noted a line of blue that indicated her vein.
"Meine Liebe, darf ich?" Her eyes were clouded over with lust and she bit her bottom lip as she moved so she could see the top of his head.
"Ja, meine Liebe. Aber seien Sie sanft." She watched as he raised his head up, black inky eyes now meeting hers.
Her back arched as sharp teeth bit into her leg, causing a spill of blood on the covers. Nikola did his best to distract her and the teeth in her leg were soon a distant memory, with the steady stimulation he was providing her. It felt as though her body was on fire, shuddering as she was rocked by waves of pleasure. Her head turned to the side and she put a hand to her mouth, crying out softly as she felt Nikola turn his attention back to her womanhood. He lapped up her juices and licked his lips before pulling off his pants and boxers, tossing them to the floor.
She could feel his hardness pressed lightly against her, and turned her head to come face to face with an incompletely vamped out Nikola. Slowly he returned himself back to normal and kissed her softly on the lips, allowing her to lick off the blood from her leg. He didn't know why she had decided to suddenly give up her promise of waiting for sex, but if the hardness of his manhood pressed against her thigh was any indication he rather liked the change.
He looked into her eyes one last time with his forehead pressed to hers, his eyes seeming fuller of emotion that they ever had been before.
"Möchten Sie dies geschehen?" He spoke softly to her, pausing for a moment to plant a reassuring kiss against her cheek.
One hand rose up and she stroked the side of his cheek as she pondered the entire situation. Her cheeks were reddened out of shyness and pleasure; it certainly wasn't something she would have thought about doing with him a year ago. But…in her heart she knew that she loved Nikola, and that no other would replace him in her heart. And so she decided, he should be the one that she would make love to. The only one.
"Ja, ich möchte diese." He nodded his head and pulled back slightly from her, reminding himself that he would have to try not to vamp out.
Her heart rate had gone up as she watched him move, shifting around slightly so that he would be positioned at her entrance. She stopped breathing for what seemed like the longest time as he slowly pushed into her, breaking through her maiden head. He paused as he saw the pain behind her eyes and the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. Leaning down he wiped away the tears with his thumbs and kiss her lips to silence the small whimpers that were coming from her. Seeing her in pain made even his cold heart hurt and he thought about stopping this whole thing right now.
Just as he began to pull out from her Rosella wrapped her legs around him and shook her head, bringing him down against her so she could bury her head in the crook of his neck. Her breathing was strained and it took her a moment before she leaned back enough for him to see her eyes, brilliant green and no longer pained. She moved her hips against his, his eyes closing for a moment at the feel of being completely inside her.
His hands moved down to grip her hips, eyes remaining locked on hers as he began a slow rhythm of moving in and out of her. She closed her eyes and put one of her hands on top of his, making small noises as the pain slowly gave way to pleasure. He leaned down and nipped her bottom lip as he began to pick up his pace a bit more, moving one hand to rest on her breast. Her back arched up as he used his other hand to gently stroke her clit.
A ball of heat had formed in the pit of her stomach, white, hot, passion building up in her as she began to move her hips with Nikola's. She smiled up at him and raised a hand up to his hair, playing with a few random bits of it. There was electricity in the air, the both of them could feel it since it practically radiated off of Nikola's body. Everywhere he touched her body left a tingling shock and she writhed her body in pleasure, tightening the hold of her legs around his body.
His breathing began to shallow out, thrusting deep into her body he moved his hands back to her hips hoping it would keep his rhythm steady. Her hand gripped his arm and she moaned loudly into the air, feeling herself nearly reaching her limit. He crushed his lips to hers in a breathtaking kiss, licking along her lips. She moved her hands along to his back, fingernails raking along his back to leave red lines of blood that would disappear shortly after. Rosella was not as lucky to be a vampire like Nikola. He had started to vamp out as he lost control, his nails digging into her hips painfully. But neither of the two noticed as he thrusted hard into her, producing a loud cry from her lips. She pressed her body against his as she felt an orgasm shake her body with pleasure. Her vision contracted and she saw white, her breathing now beginning to steady out. He grunted against her ear and vamped out completely before he dug his fangs into her neck. She bit her lip and threw her head back against the pillow as she felt him give one final thrust before his seed emptied into her.
At that moment she looked out the window to see a clash of lightning across the sky. She waited until he had let go of her neck and had lapped up any that spilled onto her neck before she moved around to sit up, with Nikola still in front of her. He noticed there was a change in the room; it didn't smell of sweat as it should have but instead smelled like…roses. Nikola looked over at her flushed face and planted a small kiss on her cheek, brushing some of the stray hairs out of her face.
"Are you alright Rosie?" She looked over at him and slowly nodded her head, her neck was in a little pain and she was sore in between her legs, but other than that she was fine.
"Yes. I think I'll need a shower though." She smiled and kissed him softly on the cheek, swinging her legs over to the side of the bed.
He smiled and stood up from the bed, picking her up bridal style and carrying her over to the bathroom. She began to protest but he just shook his head and stood her up in the shower, turning the water on so that is was slightly warm. "Maybe I should join you?" He smirked and stepped into the shower with her, softly kissing the marks on her neck.
"I thought the point of a shower was to get clean?" She felt a little shaky on her legs, and figured that he might as well stay in case her legs decided to be difficult.
Nikola studied her neck for a moment and sighed as he realized that the little bloody holes weren't going away. He brought his wrist up to his mouth and bit down hard, bringing his wrist around to her mouth so that she could drink a little. She looked back at him, wincing at the strain in her neck and knew that she would have to drink his blood. He wrapped an arm around her waist as she sucked softly on his wrist, she was very reluctant to drink blood since she wasn't a technical vampire but she didn't want to be in pain. His wrist healed almost instantly when she pulled away; wiping her lips to make sure no blood was leftover.
He smiled and kissed her, ignoring the sounds of a storm starting to rage outside. In this moment, he only saw her and only felt her skin against his. To him there couldn't be anything else in the world. She smiled and returned the kiss, then gave a soft yawn as she playfully hit him on the shoulder.
"No more. I want to go to bed, and you're delaying that. As much as I love you Nikola, you need to let me take a shower." He sighed heavily and nodded his head, grabbing the bottle of shampoo to her right.
She raised an eyebrow but turned around at his direction and tilted her head back. He squeezed some of the shampoo out into his hand and began to massage it into her hair and scalp. Her head leaned back into his hand and she made a small noise, closing her eyes. She had told him she wanted to get clean, but he just simply wasn't going to listen to her too much. He quickly washed the shampoo out of her hair and turned her around to capture her lips in a nearly bruising kiss.
He lifted her up and directed her to wrap her legs around him, pushing his manhood into her. She blushed a light shade of pink, the vampire blood hadn't taken away the soreness she felt between her legs but she wasn't bleeding anymore. Her back was pressed up against the cold tiles of shower and she tried to arch her back so they wouldn't touch her but Nikola was in the way. He wasted no time in thrusting into her, but he was still careful since it had been very little time since her first time making love.
Rosella moaned softly, nipping hard at Nikola's exposed neck. He smirked and pushed her harder against the tiles with each thrust, she knew her back would be an interesting pattern of square impressions from the tile. Her eyes half closed in pleasure as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, taking to nibbling softly on his earlobe. She moaned into his ear and cautiously moved to kiss him on the lips. He returned the kiss, each thrust bringing him closer to going over the edge.
"Nikola…" She moaned softly, entangling her fingers in that spiked mess of hair.
"Ja, Rosie?" He sounded out of breath, but his motions showed no sign of letting up or slowing down.
"Do…you love me?" She bit her lip, unsure of whether or not she really wanted to know the answer to that question.
He didn't answer her at first, in truth that should have told her everything she needed to know. But, there was the…situation right now to deal with; she lied to herself by saying that he was just busy. His pace had slowed significantly, showing he was at least thinking about what she had said.
Nearly an hour later they had finished up in the shower, and had actually gotten themselves clean. The question hung in the air and Nikola had done a pretty good job of avoiding giving her an answer. They both had towels wrapped around their bodies and Rosella sincerely missed the Faeries right about now because she wouldn't have to worry about drying off. Nikola walked over to his dresser, carefully avoiding a stack of books that would have taken Rosella out. He got out two pairs of boxers and a wife beater; he motioned Rosella over as he laid the items on the bed. She looked from the clothing back up to him.
"You've got to be joking." She eyed the clothing with much suspicion, there was no way she could wear his clothes they would be much too big.
"It's either this or you'll have to lay in bed naked. I vote for the naked option." He smirked even when she scowled at him and made him turn around while she got dressed.
"Really Rosie? I saw more than that, no need to be shy." She tapped him on the shoulder when she was finally dressed.
He raised an eyebrow as he could nearly see through the white wife beater, but he had to admit she did look good in it. She rolled her eyes and moved to go sit down on the side of the bed. Nikola came up beside her and kissed the top of her head before he pulled the covers back on the bed. He climbed in next to her and leaned over her so that he could turn out the light on his bedside table.
"Nikola, you never answered my question." She watched as he pulled the covers up over both of them, and placed an arm around her middle.
"Rosie, I know that you love me. You have to understand that for the longest time the only person I ever came close to being in love with was Helen. But you…I have strong feelings for you. I want to protect you, and I want to always be with you. I'm just not sure if I love you…" He never wanted to tell her that. It was the truth but he knew just how much it would hurt her to hear him say that, and he couldn't very well lie to her.
Rosella nodded her head and scooted to the far side of the bed, her shoulders shaking with the silent tears she was shedding. She still loved Nikola, it was impossible for her to not love him. Her body ached, more so now from the sorrow that was plaguing her thoughts. He wanted to hold her, to comfort her, to whisper sweet nothings in her ear and make everything better. But, he also knew that she wouldn't want his comfort right now so he did the best thing he could do. He rolled over, feeling his heart break at the smell of her tears.
