Oxford Not Brogues

Chapter Sixteen

"I'll fuck you and you may have a taste of my blood." Sebastian agreed. Excited, the small blonde sat up straight in his lap. Her eyes were gleaming with elation and eagerness. "But, only if you obey me." The demon added as he pulled off a sadistic smirk. Seras cupped her mate's face.

"Whatever you want, I'll do it. I just need to be fucked." The little vampire whispered before she groaned in need. His grin widened and his eyes flared darkly when his mate gave him that power.

"Then, darling," The demon proceeded in a deep purr. "Go into your bedroom and strip." He gave his first order. "I'll give you ten seconds. If it's not done by then, you will be punished." Seras immediately did as she was told. The little vampire bolted off of his lap and she headed off towards her bedroom.

"Ten seconds is more than enough time." Alucard disrupted the flow of silence. Smirking sinisterly, the demon glanced over at him with a spark in his eyes.

"Of course it is," Sebastian responded. "While I would be eager to set a punishment for her, I like seeing Seras as a good girl who only wishes to please me and obey my every word." As he said this, he stood up from the couch, preparing to follow his mate into the bedroom. Before leaving, however, his ears were greeted with deep chuckling.

"Where's the fun in that?" The elder vampire questioned, earning a strange look from the demon. "If she's constantly obeying us to avoid punishment, how will she ever know that she likes the lick of a whip on her bare back?" Alucard raised a dark brow before he curiously glanced back at her bedroom doorway. "Especially now that she's a vampire?" His red eyes flickered back to stare at the silent demon. "We purchased both a crop and a nine-tail whip, but we only ever got to use the crop on her. Don't you think it's about time to introduce her to the whip?" Sebastian's head drew back slightly from the thought of punishing Seras when she's been nothing but good and obedient. But…then again, she was in agreeance of purchasing the whip, meaning that…she must have been curious to want and try it. It's not like it would be a true punishment if she got pleasure out of it. But still, in order to 'punish' her, he would have to give an order he knew she would be unable to obey. But what? The grin on Alucard's face widened. "Our bride has been waiting for you for more than ten seconds." Being reminded of this, the demon moved swiftly into the back of the flat. He wasn't surprised to find that Seras had indeed listened to him. She stood completely naked in the center of her bedroom, waiting patiently for him to join her. There was a small, shy smile on her lips, but a look of confidence and adoration in her stunning red eyes. Like a magnet, Sebastian was drawn to her. With his eyes glued to her face, he enclosed the space between them. Taking small, slow steps, he was soon standing in front of her. He was unable to resist reaching in to gingerly pinch her chin between his fingers.

"Obey me," The demon whispered to her. "Fetch me your collar and cuffs." Seras gave him a wide smile, looking similar to a child on Christmas. Her chin slipped from his fingers when she spun around and knelt in front of her dresser. Pulling the bottom drawer open, she grabbed her pink collar and matching attachable handcuffs. Excited for their night of debauchery, Seras sprung back to her unimpressive height and once more spun around to face her beloved. Like the good girl she was, she presented him with the items he requested. "Good," He praised her as he carefully took the items from her. "Now get down on your knees." Silently and promptly, his mate dropped to her knees in front of him. She tilted her head back, keeping her eyes on him as she continued giving him that smile of endearment. Such pride shone in her eyes, knowing that she was pleasing him each and every time she obeyed perfectly without question.

It gave him such a strong need to do it return. How he would love to have the roles switched right now. He could already imagine being on his knees before her, obeying every little command she gave to him, and hoping to God that she would punish him severely if he fucked up at all. And yet, he wanted to obey her thoroughly just to please her, just like how she wanted to please him. He wanted to do everything right so she was happy and satisfied with his performance. One day, He thought to himself. One day, he'll submit to her fully. He'll wear a collar, kneel at her feet, and even beg if she wanted him to; anything to appease her. But, for now, she was his to do with as he pleased. She was his.

Sebastian bent at the hip and with ease he strapped the pink collar around his mate's neck. Those words 'Sinful' displayed across her throat couldn't have been truer at the moment. The lengths Seras was going to not only please him, but to earn a good fucking was quite sinful indeed. She has become quite adventurous and devious since meeting them; slowly becoming corrupted by their dark desires. Or perhaps she always had these strange fantasies even before she met them. It would make sense if she did since mates were meant to be perfect in every way. When the collar was hooked, the demon straightened to stare at her at her in consideration. That look still hadn't changed on her face, and somehow he was amazed by that. Not too many people are eager to submit fully to another person; to obey every order and be told to get on their knees like a servant. But that's perhaps why he and she was such a perfect match, because they were both willing to do just that for the other person. Tenderly, Sebastian traced the shape of her face with his fingers before he brushed her hair behind her ear.

"I love you," The demon whispered and he placed a loving kiss on her forehead. Pleased by the words he spoke, Seras visibly blushed and her smile widened.

"I love you, too." She whispered back as he moved to stand behind her. Sebastian knelt to handcuff her hands behind her back. Once the cuffs were secure, he returned to his original spot, standing in front of her.

"While it does please me that you have such a strong need to obey my every command, Seras." The demon spoke as he pressed his fingertips under her chin. He lifted her head up a little more to expose that pale throat of hers. "It can be just as fun if you disobeyed me from time to time." That smile on his bride's face widened.

"I know," The girl giggled with an almost deviant look in her eyes. "But it is very much hard for me to decide when I should be obedient and when I should act up." The little vampire then begun to purr like an animal as she stared at him with those dark red eyes of hers. "I want to please you so badly that I try not to fuck up. But I know if I fuck up, you would be just as pleased because we can bring in a little toy of ours, like the crop."

"And what of the whip?" Michaelis questioned her. His brows drew together to help show the amusement in his eyes. Seras' purring abruptly stopped as she stared deeply into his eyes for a long moment. For a split second, the demon thought he had scared her when hinting that he wanted to use the whip on her. But her answer surprised him.

"I thought you would never ask." The girl breathed. "I thought you and Alucard were too scared to use it on me."

"No," Sebastian answered softly. His fingers slipped out from under her chin to caress over her jawline.

"I know it's not a regular whip. This particular one is specifically safe for sexual play, but still." She proceeded. "I thought you were afraid the whip would break skin and that you would make me bleed." Seras then lightly shook her head. "I'm not afraid. I know you and Alucard would never purposely hurt me. Besides, I'm fairly positive in a few years, once I'm fully used to being a vampire, I might just enjoy the feel of an actual whip on my skin." The little vampire then turned her head to tenderly kiss Sebastian's palm. The demon was already rock hard for the little beauty. But hearing those words, he was beyond ready to fuck her until she was seeing heaven.

"We have gone very easy on you. But I'm sure one day you will like the taste of pain." The demon agreed in a whisper.

"Where is the crop?" A growl of excitement sounded from Alucard. Both Seras and Sebastian jolted when hearing his voice. Simultaneously, their heads snapped to the side to find the sex hungry looking vampire standing by the doorway of the bathroom. Pure madness shone in his wide, red eyes while he flashed a deadly, toothy grin that sent shivers up their mate's back. The girl then lightly gestured her head to the side.

"In the bottom drawer of the dresser," She answered. Seras wanted to keep her eyes on Alucard as he retrieved the crop from the bottom drawer, but she wasn't allowed. The demon roughly grabbed her by the chin and forced her to look back up at him. Such a sinister smirk graced the gorgeous man's lips. He stared upon her with those predatory eyes of his while his thumb brushed over her tempting lips.

"Do for me what you did for Alucard." Sebastian ordered. Entranced by those words, the little vampire stared at him unblinkingly. Her lips parted around his thumb to lightly suck the digit. Before long, he felt her tongue creep out to tease his warm skin.

"Yes, Master." Those sinful words left those lips. A tremor of delight shot down the demon's back and his hunger grew for the little creature. She knew exactly how to get them riled up. Sebastian's thumb parted from her mouth as he almost hastily reached for his trousers. Eager to feel that mouth on his hard, aching flesh, he unfastened his pants and released his cock. Without even being told, being such the good submissive girl she was, Seras straightened up to rest more comfortably on her knees and she leaned in to do the job. She brushed her lips over his swollen head just to tease him. Not once did those stunning eyes leave his as her lips caressed him all the way around. For a second, and only a second, her lips parted to lightly suck the tip before she pulled away. Her tongue swept out to lick over her lips and afterwards she lapped at his leaking slit. A very low moan left the girl when she tasted his essence.

Unaware of the presence lurking just behind her, Seras moved at her own comfortable pace and teased Sebastian slowly. It was a little hard for her to pleasure him properly with her hands restrained behind her back, but she did her very best. Her mouth moved with ease, dragging up and down on the side of his cock, moistening his flesh, but never truly satisfying, only teasing. The demon watched her carefully, and even though she only played with him by not taking his cock into her hot mouth, he didn't show the slightest bit of disappointment. His eyes just followed her motion while that sick grin stayed plastered to his face. Seras jumped after being startled by Alucard. He had dragged the thick, leathery tip of the crop up her spine. The feel of the cool leather and knowing what it could do to her frightened and thrilled the little vampire. She was eager to be reintroduced to the pain and pleasure the riding crop could bring her.

Alucard finally made the introduction. The leathery tip met with her ass. Seras, for the second time, jumped from the impact and she squeaked. Both males seemed to get enjoyment out of that. They chuckled lowly while the elder vampire gave off a deep purr of satisfaction. The demon ran his fingers through her hair. Full of anticipation to feel the crop on her again, Seras stopped teasing Sebastian. The impatient and amorous girl wrapped her lips firmly around the demon's head. She sucked on him vigorously, almost as if she was trying to suck the cum right out of him. Her tongue lathed over his hot flesh as she finally moved her mouth down towards his base. Sebastian's hand instantly moved to the back of her head as he felt her lips tight around him. The tip of his cock entered the back of her mouth and brushed over her tonsils. The demon gave a moan of approval.

With a flick of his wrist, Alucard struck her ass again with the riding crop. The crop grazed over her fingers, making her clench her hands into fists instantly. Seras whimpered around Sebastian's cock from the hot sting it left behind on her bare ass. The elder vampire's grin widened before he dragged the crop teasingly up her body, tracing over her spine once more. Without hesitation, he smacked the side of her neck. The little vampire winced and her body jolted once again. The males got extreme pleasure out of watching her jump whenever the crop struck her. Seras' mouth ran back down the demon's dick to suck on his head. But Sebastian pushed on her head, forcing her to deep throat him once again. Soon after, they fell into a slow rhythm together. He led her back and forth, enjoying the intensity of her mouth as she took him all in. Every so often, the demon's hips jerked forward to sharply thrust his cock into her mouth and repeatedly almost made the poor girl choke or gag. Alucard slapped her right hip with the crop.

"Faster, Seras." The demon demanded when feeling the tightening of his stomach. The more she sucked and the more his cock was encased by her tight throat, the closer he got to his orgasm. And it definitely helped watching each and every time the crop struck her body. Each moan or whimper she gave sent vibrations all throughout his cock, giving him that extra bit of pleasure. His anxiously moved his hips to fuck her mouth hard. Seras automatically closed her eyes from the intensity, but tried following his rhythm to the best of her abilities. His cock moved in and out of her throat with ease, fucking it until it was rough and raw. She wanted to swallow or moisten her mouth to help lube her throat, but the demon gave her no time for that. With his hand fisting her hair tightly, his hardness violated her mouth at a frantic pace. Sebastian's teeth were gritted as he growled and groaned under his breath. His red eyes were hard and narrowed dangerously on her.

Alucard brushed the crop over and between her fingers before traveling up one of her arms. They were left exposed as they remained restrained in the cuffs behind her back. Taking full advantage of that, the No Life King struck her left arm, causing it to twitch in its restraints. The monster chuckled before dragging the crop back down her arm only to smack her playfully on the palm. Instinctively, her hands jerked before her fingers curled up into loose fists. Alucard smacked the fists with the crop, silently telling her to open them. She did as she was told. As punishment, he smacked her other palm, causing her to wince once more, before continuing on to another part of her body. He struck her right calf, earning a sharp whimper from his little bride. Intrigued by that sound she made, he struck her other calf, earning the exact same sound she made before. The beast purred as his cock swelled with arousal.

Seras was so entirely caught up in the moment that it all felt too surreal to her. Sebastian was fucking her mouth and throat at an intense pace. It was hard, rough, and fast. And even though it was slightly uncomfortable from how dry her throat was, she absolutely loved it. And then there was Alucard and his beloved crop. He smacked her on different areas of her body, leaving warm stinging sensations. He smacked hard, just hard enough to leave a small red welt behind, but it wasn't bad or painful at all. It was just the little bit of pleasure she needed that really got her riled her up. Her stomach was so tight from the sensation of the crop meeting her skin. It was a thrilling sensation that left her wanting more. If she could, she would probably be begging Alucard to hit her harder. But her mouth was full at the moment, and she was too lost in rapture to even think about using telepathy.

"Seras," Sebastian groaned her name before she tasted his cum in her mouth. Curiously, the girl cracked open her eyes to glance up at her mate. He was still thrusting his cock wildly in and out of her mouth, trying to release every little drop of cum he could. The seeds pumped far into the back of her mouth, instantly shooting down her throat. She was thankful for the lubrication, though it was a little late coming since they were basically done now. Before the demon could even completely finish, Alucard was grabbing Seras by the hair and pulling her back off of his cock. The elder vampire pulled her head back into a sharp angle, forcing her body to curve. Sebastian's cum got on her chin and throat from the interruption, and Seras was left gritting her teeth from the vampire's roughness.

"Alucard!" His little mate exclaimed in shock.

"Alucard," The demon grumbled in frustration as he was left panting out of breath. His eyes did most of the talking though. All that annoyance, anger, and need to kill shone so clearly in Sebastian's eyes. All he had wanted was to finish in the girl's mouth. While he was able to get some of his seeds in the preferred destination, the rest of it ended up on her face and neck. It was a tempting and spectacular sight to see, but very much unappreciated when he was interrupted in the middle of a climax. That high he had felt had faded fast from Alucard's interjectory, and for what?!

The No Life King licked over his sharp fangs before he smacked the crop across Seras' erect nipple. The little vampire made such a sweet, delicious sound; a sound of distress when being struck on one of the most sensitive areas of her body. Her eyes snapped shut and she lightly gritted her teeth, looking ever so cute. Immediately, all that hostility drained from the demon's eyes and a new hunger rose. His eyes focused intently on the girl as Alucard struck the top of her pale, beautiful breast. Another sweet whimper left those precious lips.

"Seras," Alucard growled lowly as he taunted her with his crop. The leathery tip stroked up and down Seras' arched throat, making her shiver in his grasp.

"Alucard," The little vampire whispered his name. But the second she spoke, Alucard smacked her other nipple. The small blonde jolted in his grasp with a whine. It was evident to the girl how exposed and vulnerable she truly was in the moment. With the elder vampire fisting her hair and with her hands tied behind her back, she could do nothing…not that she wanted to. Seras had voluntarily given herself completely to these males. She wanted all that they had to offer. In fact, she craved it. The little vampire cracked open her lust filled little eyes to gaze up at the 'cruel' and monstrous man. "Alucard," Seras breathed as he dragged the crop between her breasts and down her stomach. When she spoke without permission for the second time, Alucard once more 'punished' her. He slapped the crop right down on her right thigh, leaving behind a strong stinging sensation that only made her wetter for him.

"Part your legs." The elder vampire demanded sharply before he tugged on her hair. A devious little smirk spread across her lips while her orbs practically shone with amusement and malice.

"No," She breathed. Instead of showing disappointment or anger, Alucard cackled as a large grin swept across his face. A look of delight danced in his eyes while his fingers tightened around the handle of the crop. As punishment for her disobedience, he brought the crop down hard on the top of her left breast, leaving behind a good sized welt. Seras hissed from the fresh burning sensation left behind on her now extremely sensitive and slightly tender breast. Immediately afterwards, he smacked her nipple again, making her breasts jiggle from the action.

"Do as you're told." Alucard spoke in a low tone.

"Yes, Master." The lustful little demon purred as she willingly parted her legs for him. A breathy growl emitted from deep within the No Life King's throat. Extending his arm, he used the crop to stroke over Seras' inner thighs. Higher up on her thigh some of the skin was moist from her arousal. He dragged the tip of the crop over that damp area, not caring in the slightest if the fluids stained the leather.

"You salacious girl," The elder vampire chuckled. "You're soaked!" He announced as he dragged his crop over her folds. "Why? Do you like being struck repeatedly by the riding crop?" He couldn't help but tease her.

"I thought that was obvious." Was his bride's smart remark. Alucard, very much unexpectedly, smacked her sensitive folds with the crop. The small blonde jolted as another whimper left her lips.

"Don't back talk me," Alucard lectured her.

"What will happen if I do?" The girl asked 'innocently' as she batted her eyes lashes at him. Instead of telling her, he showed her. Once more, the male struck his bride with the crop, slapping the tip of it over her folds. Seras gasped before a low, sexy moan sounded from her. The excitement and arousal was only rising in her eyes. "That's far too tempting of a punishment to avoid." His mate purred. Alucard pulled sharply on her hair.

"Then perhaps it's time to use something with a little more bite to it." The elder vampire responded as he released her hair from his death grip. He dropped the crop to the floor before walking off to retrieve something from the dresser. Sebastian knelt in front of the small blonde with a small white handkerchief in hand. His eyes were a deep, dark red that would have driven any human mad from fright. But his bride merely smiled at him as he gingerly wiped his cum from her face and throat. He had been awfully quiet the entire time Alucard had been swatting the crop at her. She could see the arousal clear as day in the demon's eyes. She could practically taste how badly he wanted her. And she couldn't even imagine the strength he was using to hold himself back so he wouldn't tackle her to the floor and fuck her.

Despite her getting enjoyment out of receiving 'punishments' from them, Seras couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Alucard and Sebastian had already achieved orgasm, while she had yet to come. She was aching for an orgasm! Her stomach was uncomfortably tight, she was soaked to the point that she was practically getting the carpet wet beneath her, and the more they touched and punished her, the more she ached for release. Sebastian had told her that if she obeyed every command he gave, he would award her with sex and blood. She's been so good! When will it be her turn? Anxiously, the girl shifted her hips in an attempt to rub her thighs together. The demon paused for a moment when she did that.

"Behave yourself and sit still." Sebastian ordered her softly. Seras groaned in misery and she pouted her lips.

"But, Sebastian," The little vampire whined and she anxiously rubbed her thighs together more. "I'm so uncomfortable. I need to come." Amused by the sight before him, the demon smirked as he let out a breathy chuckle.

"All in good time," He promised. "Behave yourself for a few minutes more and then you shall be rewarded."

"Behave myself?" Seras breathed as her eyes trailed down his face to stare openly at his lips. "But I thought you wanted me to misbehave. Don't you want to punish me?" A sexy little smirk graced the girl's lips and she giggled softly to herself. She loved flirting with them. It was as easy as breathing for her. It was so easy getting her males hot and bothered for her, and she didn't have to do much; just either play innocent or be naughty. Either way, they loved it.

"You've had a knack for misbehaving tonight." Sebastian responded, looking rather prideful by this. "Can we really call it a punishment when you enjoy it so much?" He snickered while his brow arched to help accuse her. His little bride blushed bashfully while pulling off a very familiar shy smile. There was his Seras Victoria. He thought rather lovingly while he gazed down at her. The girl shushed him softly.

"Don't tell Alucard." She whispered playfully and then winked, knowing fully well that Alucard heard. The elder vampire only stood a few inches away near the dresser. He held the whip tightly in his left hand. The nine leathery tails hung freely, waiting to do its purpose and meet bare flesh.

"It's no longer a surprise that you get pleasure out of punishment, Seras." Alucard purred as he took the several steps towards the little vampire and demon. There was such a large grin on the man's face that would naturally bring concern to any sane, rational person. But Seras only felt comfort and security as she smiled so widely up at him. It was evident that she was eager to be lashed with their new toy.

"Why?" She asked in a whisper.

"You should already know the answer to that." The elder vampire answered as he combed his fingers through her hair. He was tempted to pull the strands and force her head back, but he refrained from doing so at the moment.

"Because I was born for you and because you're both depraved, I'm depraved?" She spoke as she instinctively moved her head with his hand, reminding them of a kitten trying to get as many head pats as it could. She even started to purr after a while.

"Yes," Alucard breathed as he watched her intently. Her eyes locked onto his then.

"Do you get pleasure out of pain?" Seras asked him carefully.

"More than you would know or understand." The elder vampire answered softly. A shocked look crossed over the young girl's face. The little vampire thought she had started to understand what Alucard and Sebastian craved when it came to sex. She assumed that they too liked pain, much like she was starting to get a taste for it. But apparently, she didn't even scratch the surface. Just how far were Alucard and Sebastian both willing to go? What sort of pain or punishment did they crave? Did they have a need to be submissive and be punished in return? Seras wasn't exactly used to the dominant role. Only once had she been left in control in the bedroom, and it hadn't gone far at all. She had simply ordered them to remove their clothing and then she proceeded to touch them anyway she pleased. But that was it. Did Alucard and Sebastian want the full dominatrix? Did they want her to have a firm hand? To punish them, hurt them, and award them? Could she even do that? Seras then recalled earlier what Alucard had said to her. Abuse me, damage me, and make me bleed. The small blonde's face reddened when it became clear to her how far they wanted to go.

"We're very old creatures, Seras." Sebastian reminded her, drawing her attention on him. Alucard silently teased her bare back with the whip. He dragged the tails up and down her back and over her arms.

"You do not know how many times we've been shot, stabbed, dismembered, beheaded, hanged, tortured, et cetera." The elder vampire spoke. "After six hundred years of it, you start to get a taste for the pain. You start to like it, even crave it because it is one of the few things we haven't been fully desensitized to yet." He dragged the whip over her shoulder towards her breasts. "And one day, Seras, you will feel the same." Alucard then snickered to himself. "We're not asking you to shoot or stab us to help us get our thrill. But unlike your toys, our toys will do serious damage."

"Your toys?" Seras repeated in a whisper.

"Your toys are for masochistic humans to help get their thrill." The elder vampire explained. "What we want is the feel of an actual whip on our backs, the feel of your claws and nails biting deep into our limbs, or even a good caning." When the girl just sat there gaping at them Alucard's brows furrowed together. "Does that scare you?" He asked. Seras jerked from her own thoughts and she blinked several times until she fully came back to reality. Her eyes immediately met his gaze before she answered truthfully.

"No," She whispered, though Alucard and Sebastian had their doubts about that answer. The small blonde then licked over her dry lips before biting gently into her plump bottom lip. After several seconds of trying to gather her thoughts, she spoke again. "Perhaps…it's a little sadistic." She whispered as her face darkened with a blush. Almost instantly, Seras dropped her gaze to look at the floor nervously. "But…" It took her another second or two to finish her thought. "It sounds…electrifying." She finished softly. Her whole face was now a dark shade of red, the blush heading all the way down to the top of her breasts. The poor thing was too shy to meet their gazes. Bewildered hearing this, the demon raised a brow at the girl.

"Electrifying?" He repeated in surprise. Seras straightened and her eyes flickered up to stare deeply into his eyes.

"Exhilarating!" The little vampire exclaimed as she shifted uncomfortably, trying to rub her thighs together once more. Sebastian glimpsed down at where her thighs rubbed anxiously together to get the slightest bit of friction. The demon could smell her arousal so keenly. The scent had most definitely got heavier since this sadistic conversation had started. He snickered under his breath before locking gazes with her again.

"You're not just saying that." He stated, realizing just how needy his bride was at the moment.

"No," Seras answered as she vigorously shook her head. She then shrugged. "I'm not too sure about the caning, but definitely the other stuff I can get behind!" The girl then groaned. "I don't even know why! It sounds so horrible, so dark, but…so thrilling and tantalizing! I got butterflies just thinking about it, and I don't understand why!" Unexpectedly, Seras shot forward to press her lips to the demon's, kissing him deeply. She moaned softly in his mouth as she ravished his lips in a hard kiss. Sebastian sat there so calmly and stared at her. He didn't bother kissing her back. He was far too amused and giddy knowing what their bride wanted to do to them. Gently, Sebastian grabbed the girl by her shoulders and pushed her back. Disappointed, the small blonde groaned in loss while she stared longingly at his lips. "Sebastian," She mouthed his name, but not a sound left her lips.

"God you are perfect." Sebastian whispered as he cupped his bride's face in his hands. Her glowing crimson eyes flickered back up to his face. That's when she saw the wide malicious smirk that was gracing his lips. His thumbs lightly brushed over her red cheeks. "Don't be alarmed that you wish to dominate us. Don't be scared at the thought of hurting us. We would be giving ourselves to you willingly. We want you to punish us, Seras." The little vampire couldn't but smile from those words. She even giggled, earning a soft chuckle from Sebastian.

"You like being punished." Alucard purred as he dragged the tails between her shoulder blades, making the girl shudder. "What makes you think that we wouldn't like it in return?" He snickered. "Speaking of punishment," Seras jolted and then quickly glanced up at him. "You still need your lashings." His grin widened a little further as he proceeded dragging the nine tails up and down her back. "How many do you think she deserves, Michaelis?" The demon's big, warm hands slipped away from her face. The little vampire's eyes flickered back to him as Sebastian rose to his full height.

"I think ten will do it." The demon answered in a deep purr as he gazed down at her with those dark red orbs.

"What do you say we split the lashings; five for you, five for me?" Alucard suggested.

"You can tell us who hits harder." Sebastian added as he ran his fingers through her hair. "How does that sound, Victoria?"

"I should have no say in my punishment." Seras whispered with another shy smile on her face. "If ten lashes are what I deserve, then ten lashes are what I'll get." That smile on her face manifested into something deviant. Right then, the innocence was gone from her eyes and all that sat before them was a bound, sadistic little monster that craved to receive punishment. The demon's smirk slipped from his face as he observed that dark look in the girl's eyes. His fingers slowly left her hair to fall back by his side. Without thinking, he reached out hesitantly to grab Alucard by the wrist, keeping the vampire from striking her.

"Perhaps there should be a safe word in case things…don't go the way you like, Seras." Sebastian whispered. Almost immediately, that deviant look evaporated from her eyes and that innocence was back. Seras cocked her head to the side in a curious manner.

"A safe word?" She repeated, never even having thought about her safety in these types of situations. "I guess…that would be smart." She muttered. Now thinking about it, Seras was unsure if she would actually like being whipped. There was a craving inside of her for the feel of the leather on her skin, but what if she finds that she doesn't actually like it, like Sebastian said? Feeling embarrassed for getting ahead of herself, she blushed and laughed at the commitment and determination she had. "Yes, I think I would definitely feel better with a safe word. At least, for now, until I know that I like it for sure."

"Very well," Alucard agreed with a nod of his head. "And what will that safe word be?"

"It should be something short and simple." Sebastian advised her.

"How about cherry?" Seras suggested before she giggled in amusement. Roughly at the same time, Alucard and Sebastian nodded their head in agreement.

"We'll stop when we hear that word." The elder vampire promised. He then held out the whip to the demon. "Ladies first," He teased, earning an annoyed look from Sebastian.

"Your maturity astounds me sometimes, Alucard." The demon sighed as took the whip. Looking back at his bride, he tightened his fingers around the handle. "Lift your head a little, Seras, so I don't strike your face." The girl's eyes widened a little. Where was he going to hit her? She had thought Alucard and Sebastian would lash her back. But now thinking about it, since her hands are bound behind her, it would be a harder target to hit. So…did that mean that they were going to whip her front? Was that even safe?

"Like this?" Seras asked as she tilted her head back a little. Without warning, the demon struck. The nine tails came down hard on her left breast. The little vampire gasped sharply as her whole body jolted. She could feel the burning sensation of the welt left behind. Her breasts jiggled from the hard swat.

"Perfect," Sebastian purred, noting that her head was just right so the tails wouldn't mark that pretty face of hers. He was quite satisfied by the welt that marked her breast. Before long that glorious heaving, pale chest of hers will be a bright red. He couldn't wait. "How was that?" Seras, breathing a little heavily from her very first strike, looked confused almost. She licked over her lips as they listened intently to the sound of her heart beating uncontrollably in her chest. From the sound alone, they knew it was beating out of excitement. "You look confused." Sebastian announced when their bride didn't give him an answer. "Why?"

"I…" She had started but couldn't find the right words. "It…"

"Do you wish to use the safe word?" Alucard questioned with furrowed brows. Their mate shook her head, easing the men instantly.

"No," She answered softly as she proceeded to stare up at the ceiling while trying to gather her thoughts. "It hurt…but…it wasn't bad. It was tolerable and…kind of…pleasant." She attempted to explain to them. "I don't really know if I like it or not. But I definitely would like to keep going." On cue, Sebastian struck her right breast just as hard as he did before. Seras made a whimper sound and this time her eyes snapped shut. Afterwards, her breath came out shaky. With that second strike, Seras had her answer. She liked being punished by Alucard and Sebastian. And her new favorite toy was that whip. Each strike made her stomach dither in need. Her legs would draw closer together, smothering her fresh arousal. Her fluids stained her inner thighs and she was sure that it would eventually reach the carpet and stain the poor thing. But at the moment, she wasn't concerned about that. She was eagerly awaiting her next lash.

"Please," Seras whispered when the demon hesitated. She didn't have to wait long after that. The third strike came; the tails hit her top left breast and grazed down her sensitive nipple. This time, a breathy moan escaped her lips and she shuddered. She was starting to feel like a drug addict. She needed it. Dare she say she was addicted to this new sensation? It was rougher than the riding crop and left a stronger stinging sensation.

"You're yearning for it." Sebastian noted out loud, bewildered to see the look of pure pleasure on his mate's face.

"Hit me again." Seras begged in a broken whisper. Unable to help himself, Alucard combed his fingers through the girl's messy hair. The little beauty moaned as she leaned up into his touch, begging for more attention. Sebastian cracked the whip down on her left thigh. Seras' entire body curved. Her heaving breasts thrusts upward as she cried out through gritted teeth. He had struck the soft skin hard enough to break it. A few drops of blood welled up, but not enough to cause her to worry. In fact, it stopped bleeding only seconds later. For the fifth time, he struck her. The whip came down on her other thigh, just hard enough to leave a welt, but soft enough to not break skin. At this point, the demon was rock hard. His bride and he were breathing heavily, as if they had both just finished doing the horizontal tango. Thoughtlessly, the demon handed the whip off to Alucard who immediately took it. The elder vampire didn't bother hiding his excitement. He was grinning from ear to ear, eager to bring their bride pain and pleasure.

"Who strikes harder, Michaelis or me?" Alucard asked before he struck. Seras gasped out when the nine tails lashed over the top of her right breast. The breast was already red and tender from all the abuse, but it didn't matter to anyone there. The little vampire cracked open her eyes to gaze up at the elder vampire who waited patiently for her input. Giving a devilish grin, the girl answered.

"Sebastian," She whispered, speaking the truth. The demon had struck her hard all five times. Either Seras was used to it or Alucard was being gentle with her. She was unsure of which it was. The elder vampire barked out in laughter from her response.

"I believe it." The No Life King growled as he gingerly dragged the tails over her sore breasts. "Demons can be such cruel creatures." The monster then knelt down in front of his bride and licked over her heaving breasts. That hot, wet tongue lathed her skin, making her damper between the legs.

"Alucard," Seras moaned as she tried arching her body more to shove her breasts closer towards his mouth. Alucard gripped his mate hard by the shoulders, trying to keep her still as he dragged his tongue over that tender flesh. The monster's warm breath wafted over her sensitive nipples as he purred deeply like an animal. He dragged his sharp teeth over the area, causing a whine to escape her lips. "Alucard," She whispered again before he buried his teeth in her right breast. Seras closed her eyes tightly as those deadly fangs burrowed deep. She could still feel his tongue lathing over her flesh as he drank, swallowing large amounts of her blood. His hands left her shoulders to trail down her quivering body. "Alucard," She continued to say his name. With a growl, the monster withdrew his fangs from her tender breast. The bite marks he left behind wept with fresh blood. The beautiful little beads drizzled down her blemished skin to drip off onto her lap.

"Now the question is," Alucard whispered as his monstrous gaze lifted to stare into her eyes. "Do you prefer cruelty or tenderness?" His eyes flickered down to watch his whip as he caressed her body with the leathery tails. "I can be cruel and vicious like a demon. I can strike you hard, cover you in welts, and let you bleed." His eyes flickered back to her face. The girl was still out of breath and her heart was racing. She looked a little dazed. Is it possible that she had come recently due to the punishment she received? Alucard couldn't help but wonder. He cupped the back of her head and naturally leaned in to place his forehead on hers. He caressed her soft, silky hair, gently bunching the strands up in his hand. "Or I can strike you gently. I can caress and tease you with this whip, striking lightly and barely leave a mark on you. I can be caring and tender if that is what you need right now." He whispered to her.
