Hello people! Only one chapter, a short one, this time but another should follow quite fast. ^-^

Chapter 14

'Why am I always getting myself in these kinds of situations? Why can't I have some talent other than this?' Souichi thought frantically, feeling his face turn bit red.

He was lying on the table with Morinaga between his legs and pinning him to it. His face was red partly from exertion from trying to push Morinaga away and partly from embarrassment. He didn't like this position. It was leaving him too vulnerable and he didn't want to be vulnerable when the vampire was around. 'It screams prey too much. Too bad I'm prey right now.'

"Release me! Now!" Souichi hissed. 'How the hell can I get through that thick skull of his?' Souichi wondered angrily. "Oh, come on! This is getting old! Let me go now!"

Fighting was futile, Souichi knew, and every time the vampire reminded him about it he became infuriated and tried to struggle even more.

"I will release you," Morinaga said, surprising the human.

Souichi looked into his eyes, expecting Morinaga to back away immediately, and saw that the vampire's eyes resembled two pools of liquid filled with lust and mischief. That told Souichi everything that he needed to know about Morinaga's intentions even before the vampire opened his mouth to speak again.

"But before I do that I will show you pleasure that you haven't dreamed about."

Souichi watched the lazy smile that was present on Morinaga's lips with a hammering heart and wide eyes. This was not good. 'How the hell do I get out of this one?'

Before Souichi could respond in any way to Morinaga's statement the vampire moved above him, covering him more firmly with his own body. It became even harder for Souichi to squirm underneath the vampire, but that wasn't the worst part. The vampire started kissing his face tenderly.

Souichi gasped. He wasn't prepared for this kind of treatment. He had thought that Morinaga would ravish him right on the spot, shoving his tongue down his throat without any care about what Souichi wanted, but the vampire proved him wrong yet again. The touches that Morinaga was administering to his body weren't anything like those from yesterday. 'What has changed? Why is he acting like this?'

Morinaga avoided his lips; he kissed every inch of Souichi's face and then moved to his neck, leaving his lips alone. What Morinaga was doing wasn't making any sense to the dazed human. 'If he's trying to confuse me then he's doing a damn good job!'

Souichi didn't know when his hands had stopped trying to pry Morinaga's mouth away from him. Instead they were busy covering his own mouth whenever the vampire found an extremely sensitive spot and was assaulting it with lips, tongue and also teeth. The teeth made Souichi's heart beat faster, strengthening the sensations from Morinaga's kisses.

"Ahhh…" Souichi tried to stifle a louder moan but it was still distinct enough to be heard. It embarrassed him even more than he already was.

"You like me touching here," Morinaga observed and licked the human behind the ear again.

Souichi shuddered and gripped Morinaga's shoulders, his head tilting back and giving the vampire access to even more skin. He used the opportunity to move his mouth to the place just exposed by Souichi. He also gripped Souichi's long hair with one hand, making it impossible for the human to hide his neck again.

"Stop," Souichi tried reasoning with the vampire but he had difficulty concentrating. "Don't – Don't lick there… ah!" Souichi felt his body grow weak. He couldn't understand it. Why was he reacting like that to Morinaga? This was insane. Was he insane? Was that the answer?

"Shh… you're sane. Totally lucid. Your body just knows what's good and reacts appropriately to it. Stop thinking and let yourself feel, Souichi," Morinaga whispered into his ear. "Just feel."

Then he renewed his assaults on the human's jaw, neck, and collarbones. Nothing that wasn't covered with clothes escaped Morinaga's caresses. Luckily he didn't try to take Souichi's clothes off. Not yet anyway.

Souichi's mind felt all fuzzy. He had forgotten that he wanted to try pushing Morinaga away. That mouth was just too good at what it was doing to his body. 'And he didn't even kiss me properly yet.' His eyes widened when he realized that he was actually waiting for the vampire to kiss him. He moaned softly and tried to turn his head away from Morinaga.

That resulted in the first firm gesture from Morinaga. The hand that was still tangled in Souichi's hair wouldn't let him move his head. When he tried, Morinaga's hand yanked him back into the previous position. The yank wasn't painful but it was still firm and unyielding, making sure that Souichi understood the message and wouldn't try moving his head again unless he wanted another firm tug.

Souichi's breathing escalated and he cursed the wave of heat that went through his body when Morinaga jerked on his hair. He actually moaned again. Covering his mouth wasn't helping anymore, either. He was actually forgetting all about it and found his hands more on the vampire's shoulders than trying to stifle any sound that he might have produced.

But still there was something missing. His body wanted something; Souichi wanted something. But what? He tried to focus for a brief moment to figure out what but Morinaga made that impossible by kissing and nibbling on his skin.

Souichi groaned, frustrated, and covered his eyes with his forearm.

"What?" he bit out when he heard Morinaga's chuckle. Uncovering his eyes, Souichi looked at the vampire with irritation.

Morinaga actually loosened his hold on Souichi's hair so that the human could lower his head. The vampire's eyes were glowing.

"So beautiful…" Souichi whispered and blushed. He hadn't meant to say that out loud for Morinaga to hear, but he had and he couldn't take it back.

"You are a looker yourself," Morinaga smiled and winked, clearly happy with Souichi's compliment. He brought his nose in contact with Souichi's, their foreheads also touching.

There was so little distance between their mouths and Souichi felt it then. He understood. He wanted Morinaga to kiss him. That realization made his eyes widen and his skin pale. He started thrashing in Morinaga's hold, panicking, not believing in his own feelings, his body's wants and reactions.

"Shh… Shhh… it's okay. You're safe. You're okay. Everything's fine," Morinaga tried to soothe him, reassuring Souichi the best way he could.

"No, it's not!" Souichi complained. He closed his eyes trying to make his current reality disappear and be replaced with a more familiar one, a safer one. "It's not."

"Tell me what's wrong. We'll work through it."

"You… you'll… I…"

"You're thinking too much again. Just let yourself feel; let yourself go," Morinaga murmured, nuzzling the human's cheek.

Souichi looked into the vampire's eyes and tried to find some kind of deception there. Something bad, anything that would restore his previous opinion of him. He needed answers; he needed them badly, but that was only his brain talking. His body needed something else and when Souichi was distracted it took exactly what it wanted. He found himself kissing the Vampire Lord, a feather light, hesitant kiss with his eyes closed and his hands gripping Morinaga's shoulders as if the vampire might disappear.

Before it dawned on Souichi what he was doing, Morinaga moved. He reciprocated the kiss and Souichi forgot everything. That he should be pushing the vampire away, that he should try convincing him to let him go home, that the vampire had taken him last night, that he had kissed said vampire just now. He just felt the clever tongue sneaking into his mouth and taking possession of it and making him moan. The kiss ended only when Souichi's lungs started burning and then when he gasped for much needed air Morinaga covered his mouth once again.

Souichi felt the hand that wasn't tangled in his hair cup his hardening member through those ridiculous pants and he moaned into the kiss. When the vampire stopped kissing the hell out of him, Souichi was left feeling dazed and slightly disorientated. In the meantime the vampire moved to kiss his neck as a short stop before he went lower.

Souichi's back bowed and he emitted an embarrassing sound when Morinaga started mouthing one of his nipples through the thin layer of clothing that covered his chest. The vampire growled in appreciation and bit lightly on the bud he held between his teeth.

"Ahhh…." Souichi moaned again. His fingers tangled themselves into Morinaga's hair but he wasn't pulling the vampire's head away from his chest. He just gripped the dark bangs tightly and it seemed that Morinaga didn't mind it in the slightest. The only thing he did was switch to the other nipple and give it the same treatment that the previous one had received.

Souichi was panting, definitely aroused. How could he not be? The vampire was still kneading him through the fabric of his pants, making him erect and wanting. The only problem was the clothes. He was still wearing them and they prevented the vampire from giving him even more pleasure.

'Damn it!' he thought, frustrated by the lack of progress.

Then his eyes flew open and he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. What was he doing?

"Stop!" he cried and started pushing on Morinaga's shoulders.

Since Morinaga had stopped using his strength to hold Souichi down, the human managed to actually push the vampire away although Morinaga was still boxing Souichi in with both hands on the table. They were gazing at each other, panting and flushed. The only difference was that Souichi was trembling and holding Morinaga at arm's length since he had inched a bit up on the table when the vampire had moved away.

"This is crazy. Stop." Souichi's voice trembled. He was terrified by what he had almost ended up doing. Sure, he wanted to return home but he didn't want to sell himself in order to achieve that. And what was even more important, he shouldn't have been liking what Morinaga was doing to him.

"You don't need to be so frightened, pet," Morinaga soothed. "You're not doing anything wrong," he reassured.

In spite of Souichi's fears, the vampire wasn't angry; at least Souichi didn't see any signs of anger like the previous day. He actually took a short break from panicking and concentrated on the words that Morinaga just said.

'Not doing anything wrong?' Souichi thought, stunned, his eyes wide open and watching the vampire's calm, although a bit flushed, face.

"Not doing anything wrong?" he shouted and saw Morinaga wincing but it didn't deter him in the slightest. "If we weren't doing anything wrong then I wouldn't be lying on a table and you wouldn't be feeling me up!"

Souichi braced himself, "Now let me up!" and shoved with all his might. Morinaga moved but when Souichi looked into his eyes the look that Morinaga was giving him sent chills down his spine and he gulped.

"What?" Souichi asked nervously. He was still sitting on the table unsure of what Morinaga would do if he moved.

"I'm thinking," the vampire answered shortly, still watching the human intently.

He wasn't smiling anymore but to Souichi's great relief he also wasn't looking too serious, either. Just the intensity of the stare was making Souichi want to back as far away from Morinaga as possible.

"About what?" Souichi wanted to know. 'Somehow I feel I'm going to regret asking that.'

Morinaga didn't answer right away. He kept on watching the human so absorbedly that Souichi felt the blush return to his skin. 'What is wrong with him now? He's so annoying!'

"Pleasure yourself," Morinaga commanded curtly. He was standing still right where the human had shoved him and was watching Souichi, clearly waiting for him to do what was asked of him.

Souichi just stared, not believing his ears. He didn't move, too shocked by what he thought he had just heard.

"What?" he yelled. He was sure that his whole body, every damn muscle, showed his disbelief very clearly.

"You heard me. I want to see you masturbating," Morinaga said calmly but with a hint of steel behind his words. His eyes were still filled with lust although they had lost the soft edge that they had had when the vampire watched him eat and then while they talked.

They were now making Souichi miss the soft side that the vampire had showed him. But his desire to be watched by those beautiful, warmer eyes was lost in the multiplicity of other emotions that buzzed in him after Morinaga's statement. He gaped at the vampire. Then he shook his head, still not believing his ears, but when he looked at Morinaga again Souichi could tell that the vampire wasn't joking. 'He really wants me to jack off in front of him. What a pervert!'

"I can't do that!" he yelped, blushing furiously at the mere thought of actually doing it.

"And why not?" the vampire asked.

Souichi noted that Morinaga sounded more amused than anything else. The frustration, impatience or anger he was anticipating wasn't there. That calmed him down a bit.

"Because… you… I… I can't…" Souichi tried to say something that would make Morinaga see that he couldn't just take himself in hand and stroke himself to completion. It was just impossible. Even so his mind refused to cooperate and he couldn't answer the vampire's question.

"You can," Morinaga said quietly. "And you will."

Souichi shouldn't have even bothered with trying to find something to say to make the vampire see reason. Morinaga was clearly set on seeing him pleasure himself and wouldn't take no for an answer.

"And… what if I don't?" Souichi's rebellious nature wouldn't let him just be talked into it. He needed to try all the ways of getting out of fulfilling this preposterous order.

"I'm not asking you if you want to do it. I'm telling you that you don't have any other option," Morinaga answered, a bit of irritation slipping into his voice. His brows drew into a light frown. "Now masturbate."

"No." Souichi blushed. He tried to make his voice sound strong and sure although his heart was beating fast and he was feeling anything but confident. He was still aroused but had enough brains to know that what they were about to do was wrong.

"You pushed me away, not wanting my touch, so now the only thing I want is to watch you pleasure yourself and you still say no," Morinaga said. "I thought I'd be a little understanding since you're not used to having a man as a sexual partner but if you rebuff me at every step I'll lose my patience."

Morinaga paused for a moment. "And you don't want that to happen, do you?" he threatened. The vampire lifted one eyebrow and looked at the human expectantly, clearly wanting Souichi to get the picture and just do what was asked of him.

Souichi gulped. He knew exactly that if the vampire really lost patience with him then he would end up with a sore backside and probably no prospects of returning home, not soon but ever again. Even so Morinaga's order was something that Souichi couldn't do. At least not in front of another person, man or woman. Unluckily for him Morinaga was still there, standing and waiting for the show to start. 'Either I let him have his way with me or I'll let him watch me jack off.'

Souichi made a choice, his jaw tightened for a moment from suppressed rage. 'He put me in a lose – lose situation. This isn't fair!'

"Do you want to humiliate me that much?" he blurted out the question, looking into the vampire's eyes then averting them and looking at the floor, upset at the injustice of the situation.

Souichi didn't know what the vampire saw in his eyes or maybe it was the question itself that did it, but suddenly the vampire moved too fast for Souichi to see anything. Yet again Souichi found the vampire a lot closer than he wanted him. A firm but at the same time gentle hand gripped his chin and turned Souichi's head so that his eyes met the vampire's.

"I'm not aiming to humiliate you in any way. I just want you to acknowledge what you've been denying so much this whole time," Morinaga said gently, then proceeded to kiss Souichi's breath away.

Note: What will happen now, hmm? *^-^* The only thing I can tell you is that the next chapter will be delicious! And I hope you found this one to you liking. ^-^

Souichi's body knows what's good. Too bad that the owner of that body doesn't want to understand it. XD I've mellowed Morinaga a bit. Although not simple in the original manga, here in this fic Morinaga's even more complicated, going from a dangerous vampire to a happy puppy in the blink of an eye and revert right back again when it suits him. I hope when this fic will end you'll all have a very good image on his inner workings so bear with the possible confusion, please. XD

Souichi himself is going to be a little more sensual in this fic, so he actually might respond to his body's need a little better than in the original manga. So, both of them might act OOC at times. Even so I'm doing my best to make them act as similar to the way they act in the manga as possible in this fanfiction.
