Viking

After my pleas to the gods and goddesses, it took me a few moments while I stared at her with a very simple stare. My form slowly laid back against Eric in a slightly stunned feeling before I looked up at him and he looked back down. Hands remaining on my shoulders lightly before an arm tucked around my chest while she was still smiling at me now.

I slowly relaxed against the vampire, part of my mind still for a few moments, the sane part of it. While the succubus enjoyed the cool feeling and company, as well as the light scent around him floating through me, I was extremely comfortable with him. Too comfortable in fact…

I was getting used to him. Shit. I heard Lilith laugh lightly as she leaned forward and grasped my chin before looking at me for a few moments and raising a brow, "You're interesting too… you fight with your instincts… its most amusing…" She raised a brow and snickered at me again. "Why?"

"Because I have control." I tensed against Eric's arm as it remained as it was before she paused and her head fell forward as she laughed. I felt my teeth grit before she leaned forward and then placed her hands on both of my cheeks. I felt the pull to relax in her grip again and my body began to.

A tightening around my chest from his arm pressing me back against his own made me more aware again. I slowly exhaled and let out a low breath before she began to speak.

"No one, has full control in this world." She pointed at me now, "A lot of it, but no one has complete… utter control." She worried a hand onto her face, "You're going to be a troublesome one. An awakened newborn that doesn't do as her instincts tell her specifically ends up doing the exact opposite of what she's been fighting against." She looked at Eric before looking back at back at me. Then smiled, "And being attracted to your prey will only end with you unleashing your hunger on him."

There was a small chuckle from Eric which made me look up at him confused before I saw something in his eye that was rather mischievous as well as amused. My breathing was soft before his hand resting on my shoulder still raised and planted onto my head. I blinked for a moment before looking up at his hand. It lowered through my hair before resting on the back of my neck lightly, finger coming over in a cool glide over the bite marks no doubt on my neck.

Unless of course he allowed them to heal, who knew though?

It was sort of interesting to see this elder woman speak so arrogantly to his blood source, and for her to be taking it nonetheless. He felt her body tense underneath his arm and let his fingers dig lightly into her neck before glancing down at her with a raised brow. He felt sort of like holding back a younger vampire that just crawled out of the ground after it lost it's temper.

Only this little vampire wasn't quite as smelly and had a pulse… and very nice blood…. He smiled inwardly but then let his mind turn back to the being that smelt of raw sexual energy in front of him. Her brown almond shaped eyes lidded and holding a clever glint and her lips pulled back to reveal the pleasant little fangs that no doubt had tasted many men's flesh and blood.

He let out a breath before murmuring very simply, "I am more than capable of handling this little girl." He felt the Viking in him stir approvingly to this as well as a possessive feeling race forward while the woman glared lightly at him. Before the vampire slammed a fist back sending the Viking back to the darkness of his mind for now. His eyes lidded as he let his arm lift and both hands once again rest onto her shoulders.

Her eyes turned up to stare at him with a doubtful look, but a small smirk on his lips made her pause and search his face. It was almost amusing as well as interesting to see that she had become accustomed and able to recognize the Viking side of him. He let his hand come and grasp her chin before leaning forward and sighing lightly, "isn't that correct, Kylie?" The quiet held for a few moment before she looked back forward at the woman.

He was surprised by her answer.

"Eric and I have a contract." He had expected her to flush and move away from the subject, "In exchange for my blood he's going to be paying for my schooling, he's also been my first feeding." There wouldn't be much dodging with this woman it seemed. He looked up at Lilith as she had a scowl on her lips now and had turned her head slowly so she stared at him.

Vampire and Succubus stared at each other for a few moments before he slowly let his hand come and rest on her hip before tucking Kylie back against him. His vampire mind claiming possession and glaring at the woman who's eyes widened in comprehension while Kylie herself seemed confused at his action. He could feel as much from her and smiled lightly to himself in his mind before slowly murmuring, "Correct." He went ahead and added a sigh and nod for affect.

"…Let me see." There was a pause and the woman moved forward. He tightened an arm now around the small half blood and turned his body to shield her. His eyes narrowing as the vampire was working along side the Viking now… he had her around him for too long… there wasn't much he could do right now though. It was either that or the connection between them and grown stronger from her feeding on him.

"Let me See my Child Vampire!" Snapped the woman, he fought back the want to twist and snarl at her only for his form to unwillingly slowly turn to allow her to do so. He was dealing with something that was older than him now. He watched the slim hand of Lilith come and land gently on the head of the girl before Kylie immediately stilled in his grasp and her head slumped into her hand.

The quiet held before Lilith brought her hand away and he stared with the utmost concentration, the creature in his arms still limp before the succubus sent a rather annoyed look in his direction. He considered opening his mouth and hissing at her only for his Viking side to actually reprimand him for it. He shook Kylie lightly before feeling her tense up again before he looked at the woman again.

"…You're underhanded… very much like the first blood suckers.." She murmured softy glaring at him with distaste.

He felt a chill down his back before he slowly glared at her before murmuring very softly, "Perhaps."

Lilith remained quiet and then looked down at the girl in his arms still, the silence of the room almost tangible before Kylie lifted her head. Lilith's fingers coming forward before stroking her hair back away from her face with her thumbs before looking back at him and jutting her right hip out before placing her hand against it. The quiet held all the more before she shut her eyes.

He was quickly starting to see why a succubus was so tempting, each movement seemed like it's own way of foreplay. He wouldn't mind letting his fingers run down the woman's body himself… he felt a small sound vibrate from the Halfling in his arms before her arms came up and wrapped tightly around his arms. He blinked several times before seeing her glare lightly at Lilith who watched with a narrowed critical gaze.

Then she spoke, "You enjoy this man's company?"

"Not really." He snorted at the reply but the Viking quivered as though ready to grab the small woman and throw her up against the wall. He restrained it for the time being as she spoke again though, "He's mean, ornery, bossy, and he's using me to get some other chick." He blinked and almost pulled his arm away before she continued simply, "But his other side's not to bad."

His other side?

The Viking. He blinked for a few moments at this and relaxed slowly in the grasp keeping an arm around her still. She liked the Viking in him, not the vampire, not what he had become.

But what he kept back. He almost laughed lightly, but held his tongue as the woman seemed to be thinking about this before slowly nodding and chuckling, "Yes, the Viking side of him does seem a bit more likable."

And how would she know? He fought back the urge to ask as well before looking down at Kylie who was staring up. He could see through her blue eyes that she was thinking, her arms came down and rested lightly on top of the one that was safely around her waist now.

"It's more of a man anyways." The pure blooded succubus mumbled. He did open his mouth and hiss at her now, eyes narrowing and tightening his arm around the small creature causing a soft hiss to exit her. Lilith's eyes immediately narrowed on him before she snapped, "Oh quiet Boy!"

He shut his mouth seeing the other breed of vampire annoyed. An ancient power rippling from it before she continued simply, "You lust this Sookie girl. Correct?" A fang still bore at him in a reminder that the elder was much more powerful and displeased. His eyes narrowed but he slowly nodded, "your other side prefers succubus over the blonde. It's more of a man."

Ah… that was right..

Their kind attracted males. Which was why, though his main state of mind Was tempted by the girl in front of him, it was a blood prospect, while the Viking wanted her body. Blood, body, it wanted her. Completely.

In that retrospect, it was more of a man.

"This is clearly an unhealthy environment for a newborn…" Was the continued thought of the woman, he listened carefully now, "It would be best to separate you two Now before things got any worse."

The Viking immediately rebelled against this thought, fighting him for control and shouting in its disapproval. While he noted lightly that her own back had pressed lightly against his chest and his arm tightened, drawing her closer. She wasn't going to be taken away from him, she was profit.

She is MINE! Snapped the Viking making him grunt, as it usually didn't stay so vocal any more, Don't let that wench take her away when she belongs to me! The vampire sighed lightly but felt the Viking immediately snarl at its laziness. Almost as though feeling bullied into it. (An awkward feeling) He hunched lightly and then fell back into the chair behind him. Dragging her up and onto his lap with him while he wrapped back arms around her strapping her to his chest.

"She stays with Me." Was the growl that exited him, the Viking's feelings being known fully. He looked down as she looked up, he was startled to see her almost shocked face but also feel relief inside her. He rested a hand up in between her shoulder blades before looking back at the two who seemed rather perturbed by this sudden display. The quiet held for a few moments before he felt the half succubus relax against him.

His fingers came up lazily into her hair, pulling them through it before shutting his eyes and finding himself taking a breath. The Viking did not want her to leave, and he didn't want to see the repercussions for having that happen. The vampire did not want such an easy opportunity at profit get away from him…

He looked up as the succubus made a sound of thought fullness before slowly grasping her own chin and leaning forward staring at the both of them.

"I see… your bond has become that strong then…" He frowned lightly as this and blinked as he grabbed her thigh. He didn't know what possessed him to do it but he pulled her legs open and held her to him and felt her form straddle his waist. He looked up at her for a moment before pulling his arm out and pulling her into his chest again. He sighed as the Viking was being allowed a little leeway.

Slowly he rubbed the back of her scalp and heard her heartbeat start to relax, the warmth of her form against his own soothing to the Viking side of him before he stated very simply, "Kylie has agreed to be my property the moment we agreed to a contract. She stays with me." The vampire side's way of looking at it, the way he saw things.

The Viking was the one needing this contact, this assurance this little morsel belonged to him. Eric himself didn't mind the contact that much actually, it was sort of warm… he could feel his mind blazing lightly but lightly held back his own thoughts of arousal as the smell of her went through his nose.

He stared quietly at Lilith who continued to eye them before slowly nodding, "She has agreed to an ownership agreement then." Crossing her arms lightly, she watched him now carefully.

"In the vampire sense, yes." He nodded now and drug his fingers through her hair again and felt her mouth come down onto his shoulder, nipping lightly, he grunted and glanced down at her with a raised brow.

He got a light glare in return. "But that is the only sense…" She squirmed to get off him and his hands planted on her hips pulling her down and against him. A yelp exiting her in the process as his hand rested on her lower back, he stared down at her and she stared back up. Before she scowled.

"I see…" There was quiet before Lilith nodded and crossed her arms satisfied, "Well, if she will not come back with us willingly, I guess I have no choice but to stay here with you."

Immediately Eric looked up at her with a frown.

Kylie followed her gaze while it was quiet before smiling, Lilith continued.

"At least… till I get bored or you give me my tribute."
