Dallas, Not Really
I had sat quietly for what seemed like a lifetime to me. My head had bowed while I had leaned against the back of the couch. Two arms up on the top of the back…
Two arms where I wouldn't mind having two just lovely… fine men fawning over me….
Wait… what? I immediately shook my head and looked up at Hanska who had positioned himself by the entrance to the office door. My eyes were narrowed and though I didn't know it, or feel it, a good sheet of sweat was over my form. I was uncomfortable, I was angry, and.. and…
My fangs were killing me… I let out a low breath and hissed, my mouth was open and my fangs bared as the slight feeling of the soft flesh of the inside of my lips on them made me almost want to cry. It was like that feeling of something too cold against your teeth; it was awkward and annoying at the same time. But it made you uncomfortable and unbelievably awkward all the same time.
I wanted to end quickly, and it was all to clear to me that with out some sort of satisfaction it wasn't going to. Hanska had after all stressed that biting someone or having intercourse would make it go away, but it wasn't something either of us was going to do at the moment. And he was my mentor, it wouldn't be right. We weren't Spartans… I didn't think we were like that anyways.
So here I was, head bowed again and mouth opened as I panting with each little moment passing where my body was cool one moment, and then a thought of something else, like before, was making me go abnormally warm the next. It was a warm feeling in my abdomen, but a bad one too, it made me squirm and shift now and then.
I couldn't get comfortable… my stomach growled.
And I couldn't ignore how hungry I was much longer either. Soon I was sucking on my lip, not biting it. Biting it would cause it to grow puffy and abused; men didn't like lips that were ripped and redder than usual. I paused again in my breathing to notice this thought before shutting my lips and making a sound at the instant pain that came from my oddly sensitive fangs before lifting my knees and burying my head into them. The silence passed before there was a click and the door opened. I felt a gaze on me before Eric's voice immediately came through the air in an accusatory manner.
"What did you do to her?" There was a simple moment of quiet before a hand came forward, Hanska had moved towards me, and planted on my head I fought back a soft growl. Moving through my hair I knew it wasn't Hanska though. The scent that was going through my nose was making me almost want to lunge forward and begin to bite, tear, and fuck. My felt my hand clench into a fist before Hanska murmured very softly, "Mr. Northman, move away from Kylie."
"Do no-"
"It's not for my sake, Eric. But your own." Hanska's form had moved swiftly beside me and grasped my shoulder lightly. I lifted my head as the elder Incubus was standing quietly beside me. He kept ah and on my shoulder and I felt something calming move through me before he inquired softly, "Better?" I stared for a few moments at the ground before nodding as the ache on my teeth lessened. And then felt a hand hold my chin lightly; my mind recognized it instantly as something that was male, something that wasn't of my race. My instinct snarled for me to rush forward and take him. My hunger returned and I sprung.
I heard Eric let out a choked sound as my teeth made contact with his neck, my eyes lidded immediately as my weight had thrown us to the floor. My hips straddled his own and his hands were tight on them immediately.. I tried to shout at the want in my body, I don't like him! Get the fuck off him! Knock it off!
My throat worked as blood began down it. Swallowing, lapping, soon enough I separated and felt blue eyes on me and as my sanity came back, I felt my form relax slowly. My hands were planted beside his head and my eyes shut as my fangs were stopping, the heat in my body was pleasant and thrummed, my tongue moved over them and I grunted as a hand slammed up on my hip. Pain ripped through my neck as he bit down and I let out a low groan.
The pain wasn't pain. My breathing was hard and heavy, my eyes had shut and my fingers had found his hair, gripping it and growling softly. He grabbed my hands and slammed them down to the ground ripping from my neck. I stared at him through my eyelashes as I continued to breathe harshly. I could see my blood move down his neck, I got warm again at it and then groaned looked away from him trying to make it go away. I felt his mouth near my ear and then a breath against it.
"Now what… are you?" Something hard pressed against my form, he felt hot… My head turned and my cheek brushed his own as his hands remained down on my wrists. My chest rose and fell before my eyes made contact with his own. "….they've gone fully red huh?" The breathing stilled for a moment and my lips pulled into a single line.
Then I pushed my hands against his own, finding it oddly easy to push them off as I watched his arms remain firm with pressure to push my hands down. Slowly forced the vampire back before sitting hunched over a few moments. Then I looked over at Hanksa who frowned.
"The contact fell out."
"So I have one blue and one red?" He nodded, I sighed lightly shutting my eyes and then took the other out after opening. Slowly I looked over at Eric, that hunger immediately clenched in my stomach making me fight back the urge to pin him down and bite back into him. I slowly shut my eyes and forced my mind to think about something, anything.
I thought back to Spartans.
Bad choice, the movie 300 began to go through my head and Leonidas's fine body flashed through my head before a hand held my chin lightly and I opened my eyes immediately look at Eric quietly. We stared for a few moments before he raised a brow, "You change so much… doesn't seem I can leave you alone…" He shut his eyes and then grasped the back of my head before yanking me forward. His forehead lightly bumped my own though as he kept his hand there tightly in my hair.
The silence was terrifying before it relaxed and he murmured very simply, "I told you not to bite me again." His head was cool… easy, I fought back the want to relax before I slowly found my voice and replied simply, "Sorry." I didn't know if I was, I didn't know if I wasn't, I just knew that my body was cooling with every moment.
Hanska's hand grasped underneath my arm and pulled me up to my feet from Eric's grasp. He was looking me up and down and then lifted my lip staring at my fangs before looking back at me and murmuring, "better?" I nodded frantically, it felt much better. He sighed and staring and shook his head before muttering, "Wish it wasn't him." It was a slight thing that made me grunt and stare at him before frowning.
I opened my mouth to ask why before Eric cut us both off, "tell me what is going on. Now." My mouth shut for a moment before I slowly looked at Hanska who put a finger to my lips and then looked back at Eric, I followed his gaze and felt fear touch into me as the vampire's fangs were out, his eyes were narrowed into slits and my hand clenched down onto his pant leg.
For a few moments it was quiet before Hanska was ripped away from me. My eyes widened as Eric went for his throat. I saw Jack, the screams echoed through my head and I opened my mouth.
"Succubus!" There was a pause and the vampire slowly looked over his shoulder, I saw Hanska's lips pull into line, my hand was shaking and I brought my hand to my eyes trying to block out Jack's screams. A cold hand came up to the back of my neck lightly while I murmured, "I'm a half-"
"Succubus." The tone left him in a curious tone, his thumb rubbed lightly before he grasped my hand and pulled it away from my eyes. I stared at him and a flash of him with his long hair and blood covered mouth and throat ripped through my mind and I clamped my eyes shut. "Oh shh sh shh sweet heart." It wasn't a comforting tone, it was one to calm me and it sounded like that was all he was thinking of. I could sense that, I could also sense a great displeasure; it translated a little to my mind. He didn't want to deal with another panic attack or another tantrum.
My body warmed as his arm led me to his front and his hand moved up through my hair, pulling the strands back and letting them fall from his fingers then moving his fingers back up and down through my hair again. The action soothed me soon enough of the images stopped. I grunted and let my head slowly rest down against his chest. The quiet held for a few moments before he began to move. I watched him move back to his desk and sit down.
Hanska was behind me now, hand up on my shoulder and I felt the calming move through me soon before I watched the vampire now. He pointed slowly up at the Indian Incubus behind me and raised a brow, slowly I felt Hanska nod before the quiet came through again.
My breathing remained the only thing I could hear before the vampire lifted his feet onto his desk and shut his eyes. The quiet held for a few moments before he stated very simply, "So did you want to drink from me Kylie, or did you want to have sex with me?"
I opened my mouth as I felt repulsion come through my mind but at the same time my body got warm again. I shut my eyes tightly and then shook my head frantically trying to get the feelings to go away. Hanska's fingers moved lightly against my neck and I calmed again making me bite down on my lip before feeling blood trickle down now. My finger came up and brushed it away before I blinked as no more blood came down.
The silence continued for a moment before I stated very simply, "I was hungry." He stared for a few moments at me before raising a brow.
"Hungry?" I nodded, he looked at Hanska now before getting to his feet, "Take your ward back to my home Hanska." I watched him turn and look at the pictures on his wall and then put his hands behind his back lacing his fingers together. He said nothing for a few moments before looking off to the side and over his shoulder while Hanska held my upper arm, "Imeal has already packed your bags for tomorrow night." I blinked as the elder Incubus was grasping my arm and leading me lightly.
"Packed?" I dug my feet into the ground and made the other stop for a moment. The silence held before slowly Eric looked at me. I felt a spark of interest in his mind and knew I wasn't necessarily in trouble. The quiet held for a few moments before he nodded.
"We're heading to Dallas tomorrow night." I opened my mouth before he continued, "I'll explain tomorrow night. Go home, shower, and get some sleep. I have other matters to take care of." I found that I was indeed tired at the moment but I didn't want to necessarily listen to him… I felt my feet trudging behind Hanska as he continued to lead me anyways, keeping the calm through me as we passed the patrons. My mind wasn't nearly as fixated on them though.
I just didn't feel like going over at them, I looked up and over at the Incubus as we made it outside and I slowly looked at the sky. "…Will I go after him when he's asleep?"
"You might." He replied, I watched him with narrowed eyes while his hand remained tightly on my shoulder, his fingers continued down the back of my neck before he replied very softly, "You wouldn't be able to do anything at the moment if you did though."
"But wh-"
"You're a babe compared to him Kylie, and while he does hold animal instincts, and is weakened in his sleep, you are by no means any match for him." He smiled lightly, "Though he just might let you considering nothing is quite as satisfying as claiming a virgin." I grunted while he seemed to drift off into thought, his scent changed lightly and I frowned as it itched my nose, rubbing it I frowned at him for a few moments.
"Why?" He paused from his thoughts and looked at me.
"Why?" He repeated, I nodded and he looked off at the sky before stating very simply, "They gain a scent when it's from one of us… not to mention." He grinned, "virgins have a lot of pent up sexual energy, for us it would be quite filling…" He ruffled my hair, "For him your blood would actually a little bitter, but it's an aphrodisiac."
Aphrodisiac? How in the hell did that work? I opened my mouth to say as much before he continued very simply, "But when you're not anymore… it'll be sweet." Once again, I wondered how in the hell this was, before he answered me again, "We're sexual beings. How can a sexual being who doesn't have sex be happy?" I stared for a few moments at him at this before letting out a low grumble as he led me to the convertible and we slipped in. He held keys, (I wondered when he'd get them.) and soon put them into the ignition.
Quietly I stared at the car seat before stating, "Becoming celibate?" He shook his head and then continued simply, "That route will cause you to drop dead."
"If we're vampires aren't we sort of already?" I asked softly, he shook his head.
"No, we're a type, an energy type, but sexual intercourse is the energy we need, and then there's the fact that we'll also get blood when we're feeling sexual and it can soothe our senses for a while." I looked at him now and blinked, "…freshly awakened, all you want to really do is fuck something." I flinched at this but felt something in my mind rejoice of the fact that he nailed it on the head.
"The stupid part was that you went after Eric almost as soon as he was in the room, and wanted to fuck him but your teeth hurt so you bit him instead. Vampire blood raises the libido and it makes your appearance improve, you'll be glowin' all tomorrow, know what that means?" I shook my head slowly, the elder Incubus let out a low sigh.
"In essence, little one, it means anything with a dick or a homosexual pussy that ain't supernatural, and even some that are will be after your pretty head." I fought back the want to hit him with something for such language but again the other part of me that was rejoicing let a small nod at what he said. "And you'll be wanting them as much as they want you…"
Leaning back against my car seat as he was pulling the car out once he started it up I watched the lit sign to Fangtasia flash through my sight while he moved quietly onto the road. The silence held for a few moments before I mumbled, "Even vampires?"
"Just don't bite your lip again, and the old ones should leave you alone."
"The young ones?"
He stared for a moment ahead of him and then sighed turning onto a smaller road, continuing with an easy look, "Well." He shrugged lightly. "Pray young ones have better control than you do."
"They don't do they?"
"…Dallas vampires are sort of like Cowboys." The quiet held for a few moments before he winced, "Just not quite as… chivalrous."
"…" I opened my mouth for a moment and then looked at him then back out the car front window, "That's a no, isn't it Hanska?"
"Yes Kylie, that's would be a no."
A/N: Alrighty, they're heading to Dallas, but that's two chapters away, the next is another His View. And lovely Eric will be doin' a little research. Now I'm off to do a Philosophy paper, don't expect anything till at least Friday night till then. Oh, and same old same old routine. Ciao!
