Dwayne's POV
When Mariam opened the door, he felt his jaw hit the floor, she was dressed in the sexiest outfit he'd ever seen, she looked absolutely beautiful, Dwayne felt his dick stiffen painfully, he had to take a deep breath to keep him from dragging her into the bedroom and fucking her brains out. Dwayne gave her a quick wolf whistle, grabbing her by the waist, kissing her hard on the lips;
"Wow just wow, are you purposely trying to kill me?" He asked playfully, kicking the door shut behind him, not ready to give up his hold on her just yet. She smiled shyly;
"You like it?" She purred, leaving him feeling like he was about to explode.
"I don't like it" He frowned, "I love it princess" He added with a sly smirk, hugging her close. He looked around, noticing the candles everywhere, he realised then that she thought he'd come over for sex, that much was obvious now. Dwayne couldn't deny the thought had crossed his mind, only like every second since he'd first met her, but he had something important to do first, then if she still wanted to sleep with him, he'd be more than happy to make her bedrock.
"Baby, we need to talk" He told her gently, "You wanna talk out here or you wanna go to your bedroom?" He asked, hoping she didn't say the bedroom lest he might forget what he came here to do.
"I guess the sofa is cool" She replied looking confused and more than a little worried.
"Don't worry baby, it's nothing to do with you, it's about me, I want to tell you something about me which might change your mind about being with me" he sighed pitifully.
Dwayne heard her exhale sharply, trying to keep her game face, leading him over to the sofa. Dwayne kicked off his boots, shrugging out of his jacket as they sat Indian style in front of each other. He could feel the tension in the air around them, feeling his mouth go dry, his chest beginning to fill with anxiety. He ran his fingers through his hair, taking a deep breath he began to tell her what he'd been hiding from her since they'd first met.
"Beautiful, before I tell you anything I want you to know that I will never, ever hurt you, I'd rather die than lay one finger on you in a negative way" He stated.
"I know that Dwayne, what is it? What do you need to tell me? Just say it, I can handle it" She replied confusion clearly engraved on her features.
"So, baby, it's like this; I'm not who you think I am, shit, I mean, sure I'm Dwayne I'm 20 I live with my brothers in a cave in Santa Carla, I'm sitting in front of the girl of my dreams but that's not what I mean. I never told you about my past…" He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "I grew up on an Indian reservation, my dad was the chief of our tribe, he wanted nothing more than for me and my brothers to become warriors joining the fight against the enemy tribes. I didn't want that life, I wanted to travel, I wanted to experience life outside of the reservation, I wanted to learn about other cultures, other people but my father told me I was living in a fantasy land, that I was born to be a warrior and if I wanted to remain his son then I had to do as he told me. My mother was a kind woman, she understood my dreams, she knew my father wouldn't change his mind, she told me I was different, that I should follow my destiny. I got older and learnt the ways of the warriors, but I wasn't happy, when my mum got sick, it made my urge to be free stronger, I didn't want to die on this reservation, brainwashed by tribe culture. She passed away when I turned 18, the night of her funeral I packed a bag and ran away, I couldn't bear to live there anymore, I wanted to follow my mums wish for me to follow my destiny" Dwayne felt a hole open up in his chest remembering his mother, Mariam picking up on his sadness, gave his knee a supportive squeeze before he continued.
"I spent two years travelling around, doing odd jobs here and there to pay my way. The second year brought me here to Santa Carla where I met David, he introduced me to Max and life went on from there, Paul joined a few years later, Marko a few more after that. We became brothers, a family, all of us having lives we would never miss, no reason for anyone to miss us. Anyway, that's the back story, what I want to tell you is…" Dwayne struggled to find the words to explain when Mariam interrupted his train of thought.
"The Frog brothers were right, weren't they? You, your brothers, your vampires, right?" She asked half shocked, half accepting. Dwayne looked down at his hands nodding his head shamefully. She flinched as the truth sank in, then she did something that truly shocked him, Mariam reached out and touched his face.
"Don't be ashamed, everyone has a secret, everyone has a destiny. This was the destiny you were given. It doesn't make you a bad person" She reassured him.
"Mariam, we kill people for food, how does that not make me a bad person?" He replied bitterly.
She shrugged, "Yeah, but you don't do it because you want to, you do it for survival, as humans we kill to feed, sure we kill animals not humans, but it's still murder, you have to kill to feed too" Dwayne couldn't believe what he was hearing, was she really going to accept what he was so readily? He decided she had to see him as a vampire in order to truly realise what it was she was getting herself into,
"Mariam, I will never hurt you, but you need to see the other side of me, you need to see me as a vampire, maybe you will change your mind" He told her, his voice quaking with uncertainty.
"Sure… if you think I need to, I'm ready." She stated firmly though he could hear the faint quiver in her voice. Dwayne got up from the sofa, turning his back toward her. He concentrated, feeling his facial features shift, his fangs start to grow, he turned slowly, forcing himself not to look too blood thirsty. As their eyes met, Mariam's mouth opened in a silent scream, she placed her hand over her heart as if she feared it would suddenly stop beating. But she didn't run, she didn't try to fight him, she just sat taking in all that he was. After what felt like forever Dwayne transformed himself human, sitting himself back down in front of her. He waited for her to speak, not willing to scare her any further. Mariam coughed shaking her head,
"Well now, that wasn't so bad." She shrugged nonchalantly, Dwayne couldn't control the burst of laughter that exploded from him, he couldn't stop, his outburst caused her own laughter to escape her, soon they were rolling round the sofa in hysterics. He finally managed to pull himself together and look at her;
"You know, you're the most amazing girl I've ever met. I can't believe that you just sit there all cool and collected, like being here with a vampire is all good, like its normal" He stated, his laughter making an appearance once again.
"Vampire or human, you're still Dwayne. I still believe you're my soul mate, as fate would have it, my destiny is to be with you, a vampire. But Dwayne, I just have one question, how can this work? A vampire and a human isn't that dangerous? I mean don't you want to drink my blood every time you are near me?" She asked seriously, her question put a stop to his laughter, he had to answer clearly and seriously.
"You're my everything Mariam, seriously I only feel complete when I'm with you" Dwayne declared, "Honestly, I can't deny the thought of tasting your sweet honey blood drives me crazy, every time I kiss your neck I want to stick my fangs in you, but I'd never hurt you" He continued, "The thing is, humans aren't supposed to know about us, if you wanna be with me, really be with me, you would… you would have to… to… Ah shit baby you'd have to be a vampire like me" Dwayne hung his head, looking down at the floor then back toward Mariam who happened to be looking at him like he was crazy.
"Mariam, beautiful, I can't live without you. Would you do it for me? Would you be one of us?" Dwayne asked, intensely hoping she'd accept. Mariam remembered back to when she had the conversation with Star about the Lost Boys, thinking back to what she'd said about David, and because she couldn't find her own words she decided she'd borrow Star's;
"Dwayne I'll do anything and be anything for you" She announced, she knew in her heart she meant every word. He couldn't believe his ears; thus, it took a good minute or so to register, he felt elated, he felt as though he could take on the world, safe in the knowledge he'd have his mate by his side. He stood offering her his hand,
"It would be a total waste if we didn't put all your effort to work gorgeous" He winked moving closer, "how about we go to the bedroom and you show me what you're hiding under that robe" He whispered seductively. Mariam grinned, taking his hand, allowing him to lead her into the bedroom. Def Leppard 'Pour some sugar on me' begun to play on the radio they both looked at each other in amusement, giggling and smirking. Dwayne perched on the edge of the bed, beckoning her closer with his finger,
"How about you pour some of your sugar on me baby" He grinned wickedly, Mariam laughed, slowly moving to stand in front of him. Dwayne gently tugged the strings of the robe, so it fell open, Mariam shrugged it off allowing it to fall to the floor, along with Dwayne's jaw. Dwayne clutched his heart, pretending to fan himself and pass out, Mariam laughed, placing her hands on her hips, tilting her head with a pout,
"What's up big man, all talk?" She purred playfully, as the words left her mouth, at lightning speed he yanked her down on top of him, so she was straddling him, he already felt like he might explode at any moment. Dwayne reached up, grabbing her ass, urging her to grind against him, groaning as the heat between her legs saturated his jeans. She ran her hands alluringly over his chest, dipping her head down to give him a teasing kiss as she moved herself over his length. His hands squeezed the flesh of her ass, thrusting his hips to match her movements, she started to moan, the last remainder of his control evaporating, flipping her onto her back, resting his weight over her. Dwayne let his gaze roam over her curvaceous body, her breasts heaving beneath the padding of her corset, almost as if they were inviting him to taste. He stood smoothly peeling off his t-shirt, revealing the hard muscles underneath, feeling the heat of her gaze roaming his body. He kissed her hard and greedily, running his hands over her body, he kissed and sucked her neck as she writhed below him. He kissed his way down toward her chest, slowly moving the corset down, he bit his lip, revelling in the way her juicy breasts bounced in greeting. He slowly trailed circles with his tongue, over her flesh, continuing until he found her erect nipple, taking it between his lips, he sucked and licked her as she moaned with pleasure. Dwayne thrust his hardness between her legs, playing with her nipples, sucking at one whilst nipping the other between his thumb and forefinger.
He growled as he sensed her arousal, placing meandering kisses down her body, down her stomach, down her legs toward her feet, working his way back up, kissing her inner thighs. He breathed in a sweet musky scent omitting from between her legs, making his mouth water and his length ache, throb with need. Dwayne gently peeled down her underwear, throwing them behind him, kissing around the soft, smooth sensitive flesh of her sex, tasting her saccharine juices, which dripped endlessly in appreciation of his touch. He placed his thumb on her clit, tracing slow circles whilst he gently licked and sucked her tender puffy folds. Mariam moaned in ecstasy as he sensed the first waves of an orgasm taking over her.
"Dwayne, I want you so bad" She moaned, her control all but vanished.
Hearing her utter those words summoned animal inside him, he literally ripped off his jeans, her eyes going wide as she took in the sight of his length, long, hard, thick and throbbing to be inside her. He cautiously climbed on top of her, guiding her legs to rest around his waist, softly kissing her lips, he teased her, circling his length around the opening of her sex. Dwayne growled a barrage of sensations taking over his body, he knew couldn't hold back much longer. He thrust himself slowly inside her, edging himself in inch by inch until he filled her completely, both moaning with pleasure as he started to pump slowly back and forth, kissing her passionately. Dwayne lost himself in the ecstasy of feeling himself inside her, she felt warm and silky smooth against his length, he built up a rhythm, biting so hard at his lip he thought he might draw blood. He felt himself about ready to burst, his thrusts becoming harder and faster, Mariam called out his name as he reached his climax, feeling her walls squeezing against him as a powerful orgasm wracked her body, the muscles of her thighs tensing and shaking against him. He collapsed happy and satisfied beside her, pulling her into his arms, kissing her forehead affectionately. Mariam quickly fell asleep, smiling in his arms, he checked the time, shit he realised he had to go soon. Dwayne didn't want to just fuck her and run out like an arsehole, so he left it for as long as he could before he really had to head back to the cave.
"Mariam" he shook her gently, "Mariam… baby, I have to leave, I need to get back to the cave before sunrise" He explained.
"Oh shit… sure, you go I'm just gunna sleep" She replied drowsily.
"Sweet dreams beautiful, see you tomorrow. I…" he hesitated, was it too soon to tell this women he loved her? He didn't want to ruin what they had but his feelings were so intense, he didn't know if he could keep everything he felt for this girl inside, it was too much for him, it was all so unfamiliar, he decided he would take the risk, after all, nothing would be too soon after what they'd shared together. "I love you Mariam" He whispered, kissing her forehead lightly.
"I love you too Dwayne" She replied with a sleepy smile. He didn't want to have to get her up to lock the door behind him, therefore he went through the window, he'd flown there anyway, it gave him a better head start if he left through the window. When he arrived back at the cave finding only Paul awake,
"Jeez man! You stink of sex" He cackled, "Could av took a shower before you came home asshole" He laughed.
"Yeah, Yeah. Whatever dude, I'm beat I'm going to bed" Dwayne yawned in reply.
"Ohh little sis wear you out huh?!" Paul snickered.
"More than you will ever know man" Dwayne retorted, heading to his chamber, a grin plastered across his face.
