fire 39

I was vaguely aware of other couples around me in the throes of passion. The screams of the female vampire were now soft sobs but I was aware of them.

My attention however was riveted on the male vampire between my legs.

His eyes were black as the night and for some reason it only made me a little nervous. Was Edward right about my lack of self preservation?

He was kissing my leg now and it reminded me of an ice cube being slowly ran up my thigh. His hands were on my hips in a grip that felt like steel.

He squeezed my ass a little and I looked down at him.

I knew I was panting and I so wanted some more. I watched him as he made his way up my thigh until he lingered over my artery in my leg.

I stiffened and he looked up at me with a smirk on his face. He looked vaguely irritated. Honestly I didn't blame him. I knew he wanted to just grab his mate and run.

I gave him what I hoped was a sympathetic look. He frowned in response and his hands slid over my thighs. He suddenly grabbed my hips forcibly and tilted me upward.

I hope he hadn't mistaken my sympathy for pity. He positioned himself and watched me for some sort of sign. I wanted to tell him no. That he didn't have to do this.

"Take her" said Inais.

I turned to look at her in shock and found her surrounded by male bodies. She gasped at what one of them was doing and I tried not to look.

I mean really I didn't want to know what she was doing.

"I said take her, do it now or your mate suffers for your impudence" said Inais

I turned back to the vampire. His face was a twisted mask of fury now and I hoped she hadn't just gotten me killed.

"It's okay just do it" I said.

I truly wasn't intending to loose my virginity this way and I had hoped it would be with someone who loved me. Like Edward maybe.

He grabbed my hips tighter and with a growl he slammed himself into me. I gasped in shock but he gave me no time to adjust. I could guess he was showing me what his mate was experiencing right now.

He set a rough pace and my body ached every time he slammed into me. I hoped I wouldn't need a healer after this.

He was growling like an animal with each thrust and I hoped he hadn't just lost his mind. He was slamming into me so hard the chair was scooting across the floor with each thrust.

I tried to wrap my hands around his back and he grabbed my hands in his left hand. While he tore my meager clothing from me with the other. He kept pounding into me as he pawed my breasts roughly.

Oddly I was starting to enjoy myself despite the rough treatment. The chair eventually broke underneath us and he lifted me up on the table.

He shoved my empty dishes off the table and my back hit the table hard. He didn't bother to stop what he was doing at all.

I was moaning along with him and I know I orgasm-ed at least three times during the whole exchange.

The only sounds in the room were the other couples and a few comments about us. I really hoped she was wrong about the stamina comment

no way could my body take this punishment for several hours. He finally let go and I came with him, both of us were screaming in animalistic lust.

As I came down from my post coital bliss I noticed the stares.

Everyone in the room was watching us. Even his mate. The other couples were still and most everyone was redressed. My face turned crimson in embarrassed chagrin.

Everyone had been watching our performance. I turned towards Inais and she started clapping.

I wanted to crawl into the floor but instead I acted like it didn't matter what they saw. I started to climb down to retrieve my chair and belatedly remembered we broke it.

I was about to say something when another chair was brought out by a servant. I calmly took my seat.

I was very conscious that I was completely nude and I had just lost my virginity in front of the whole court.

Inais took a sip of her wine and motioned the vampire male forward. He came like a whipped dog. Oddly it made me angry.

"Give her your shirt" she ordered the man.

He sighed then stripped off his shirt and handed it to me. I stared at him in shock. Damn he was chiseled.

I took the shirt and slid it on despite my now sore state. Inais nodded in approval and clapped her hands.

"dance time" she said

I noticed some musicians waiting in the wings. the males were backing off of the female and she wailed for her mate's attention.

"Ethan please" she whispered.

He turned partially towards her. His eyes looked sad and I know he knew he wouldn't leave this place alive.

I shifted when I noticed his eyes were still dark. I must have had blood on me somewhere because one minute he was standing there waiting for Inais to further abuse him.

The next he had my thigh in his mouth.

I screamed and I tried to hit him to get him off of me. I vaguely registered the shouts or the guards pulling him off of me.

I did register the hands of Ashton and the feeling of her healing me again. Thankfully Inais let me sit out on dancing.

Not that I wanted to dance anyways. I was carried into one of her drawing rooms. I was aching and my skin burned where he had bit me

. I heard Inais yelling for them to be destroyed.

"No" I hissed

Those carrying me paused in the doorway.

"You have an objection to his death, he attacked you" said Inais

"Yes I know, I claim blood right" I hissed

Inais waved her hands and those holding the vampires paused. Thankfully before they had carried out the sentence.

"He drew blood?" said Inais

I wiped the blood from my thigh with my fingers. The wound was closed now but the blood had yet to be cleaned off. I held the bloody fingers up for all to see.

Inais nodded and motioned for the guards to back off. She ordered them placed in the dungeons instead.

I nodded in appreciation and the party carrying me resumed our trek. I heard the music start up and watched as couples took the dance floor in various states of undress.

Twelve hours later the dancing stopped and Inais dismissed everyone. Apparently boredom had set in.

Monticello made arrangements to transport the two vampires and we were once again in a couch heading home.

A small wagon followed behind our couch. It contained the two vamps.

"What will you do with them?" said Monticello

I pursed my lips and looked out the window.

"I haven't decided yet but I want a back up plan should all my plans fall through" I said he nodded

"The male will be impossible to control" said Monticello

I smirked at him.

"Not as long as I have his mate" I responded

Monticello nodded and looked out his own window.

"She's pleased by you" said Monticello

My gaze instantly riveted back to him. I was shocked to say the least.

"She was most impressed with your knowledge of our laws and that you didn't protest

tonight's entertainment" said Monticello.

My stomach turned a little remembering the woman's screams and her pleading tones. She had begged for death at one point in time.

Too bad there was no definition for mercy in our language. I looked at the couch behind us. I could hear her crying softly.

"The woman will be useless you should have just killed her" said Monticello

"Not so you seemed to have found a use for her" I responded

I glared at him and he actually shifted nervously under my stare.

"It was expected if I had refused she would have had me take her place" he said

"I know that's why I didn't protest either" I said

"Did he hurt you?" he asked

"A little I'll definitely be sporting some bruises tomorrow" I said

He nodded again and the couch came to a stop in our courtyard. The small wagon pulled up behind us. The driver looked nervously between us and the wagon back.

I sighed and went around the back of the wagon.

"The key" I said, holding out my hand

"Perhaps you should leave them there?" said Monticello

I held my hand out again and he sighed. He set the key in my hand and I used it to unlock the door. The male was crouched in front of the woman.

"All right out you two, welcome to your new home" I said

I turned my back to him purposely and walked towards the front door. The drivers eyed me with shock as I walked up my steps.

Monticello stood on them watching me with an unreadable expression. The driver watched us and kept glancing at the back of the wagon.

"Come on now I don't have all day and this man needs to get back to the palace" I said

I passed Monticello and he muttered

"Perhaps they prefer Inais' hospitality to ours" said Monticello

"I hope not that would be dreadfully insulting" I said and walked in my door.

I heard them before I saw them. The male had his arm around the woman. She was sobbing into his chest.

I watched them and they watched me. Except that they didn't move not even to blink.

"So what are your names?" I asked.

The male raised his head and glared at me.

"How come we aren't dead?" he asked

"I asked first" I said

"Ethan this is Cassandra" he said

"Cassie" she whispered.

I nodded in her direction.

"well Cassie welcome to my home,Ethan your rooms are in there" I said

Then I went towards my own. The vampires stared after me in shock. Before relaxing in a hot bath I arranged for dinner to be brought to the two vampires.

A full vampire was a safe vampire after all.
