A Look of Anger

Vlad felt his grin start to slip when Mina's look of anger didn't fade, instead, upon hearing his last comment, she just started to look furious.

"What. Did. She. Say." She demanded, each word a command in and of itself, Vlad leaned back on the couch, feeling more than a little intimidated. He shouldn't be, he was an extremely powerful vampire, and she a mere mortal but the look she was giving could've frozen armies in fear.

"She said to make sure to give you a good time" he said nervously, hoping to appease her by just giving in and telling her.

"Did she now…?" the blonde had one pale eyebrow raised, looking for all the world like the definition of an unspoken threat.

"Yes…?" Vlad couldn't help but speak the word as a question, he wasn't sure what she wanted in this moment.

"Are you sure…?" she asked, moving everything out of the way and crawling onto his lap, fingers dancing over his covered chest.

"Pretty sure…" the vampire said slowly, still wondering what Mina was after, he liked where this was going but he couldn't shake the anxiety building in his stomach.

"Hmmm…" Mina's fingers danced for another couple of agonizing seconds before abruptly digging into his sides. Vlad howled with laughter at the unexpected action, he hadn't been tickled in… well a very, very long time and time had made him very sensitive to the action. He eventually managed to roll them over and pull Mina's hands away from the weak points on his sides but the damage had already been done. She knew where his spots were.

"That…. Was not smart." He was trying to be spooky, at least in a playful sort of way but his lack of breath didn't help him in that regard. Mina simply tried to get a handle on her giggling beneath him.

"I took down the king of vampires with my bare hands." She giggled, wiggling her fingers in his direction. He scowled

"Judging by where I now have you, I'd say that you hardly took me down." He said, loving the way her eyes lit up at the challenge.

"I think I could take you down if I wanted to." She replied, leaning up to breathe the words into his ear. Vlad couldn't help the shiver that ran down his spine at the suggestion.

"Could you now?" he said, his lips brushing hers in their proximity.

"Is that a challenge?"

"Maybe."

-Forever and a Day-

Some time later found the two of them laying comfortably on Vlad's bed, looking lovingly at each other as they wound down from their experience.

"That…" Vlad sighed "was amazing…." He hadn't done such things in a very, very long time. At least not since he had been with Mirena, even then though, some ideas weren't common practice in his time when it came to making love, not like they were now…

"You're telling me." Mina said back, though he still noticed her wince when she touched a spot on her neck.

"I'm sorry." He said, guilt washing through him, he hadn't even bitten her and yet, he had still injured her in a way.

"It's fine!" Mina said quickly, too quickly, Vlad frowned "It's just going to be one hell of a hickey, that's for sure." She said this with a smile but the former prince couldn't help but think that he had caused her pain and that was just something he didn't want to do.

"Let me see." He said and felt his lip twitch when Mina rolled her eyes at him. "Just let me see." He insisted.

"Fine, fine." She acquiesced, tilting her head to the side. Vlad looked at the area and to his irritation, he could already see a bruise forming where he'd sucked far too hard on her neck.

"I'm sorry, I was too rough with you." He said, worrying his lip between his teeth, although her neck did provide further temptation, it had been hard enough in the midst of the act not to just bite down in a moment of passion… he shook his head, he couldn't think such things about Mina. He wouldn't bring her into this life again, wouldn't force his nature upon her.

Though she's already a part of your world… a small part of him spoke up, he pushed it back down. She wanted to know… he reasoned with himself, looking back at Mina, who was now laughing.

"Too rough? Since clearly my shouts were not enough to tip you off, I very much enjoyed the rough treatment." Vlad felt his cheeks flush at her words. He knew how much more open about sex the world was now but it still felt… wrong… awkward? Yes, awkward to him to hear things so blatantly stated.

"I… I'm glad you enjoyed yourself…" he said, still blushing. This of course just made Mina laugh harder.

"We literally just had sex and you can't even talk about it. You are the definition of old fashioned. What did you people talk about in those days?"

"We still talked about it, we were just more… subtle about it." He said defiantly, Mina was still smirking. Vlad grumbled and stood to gather his clothes.

"So what do you want to do with the rest of today?" she asked, getting the idea and pulling on her own garments.

"You're the guest." He said, he didn't care, as long as he got to be with her.

"I don't know, you're the host." She shot back, but he could see that she was still contemplating it all the same. "We could go shopping, or I wouldn't mind exploring your library…" Vlad smiled, it had taken him a long time to acquire all those books but he was still proud of his collection all the same.

"Or little dove, you might want to be out of the way for a while…" came a third voice and Vlad felt himself tense in anger.

A/N: I know, I know, I'm working on the amount I owe you so… yeah.

Till next time,
