Chapter IX: Eternal

.

Celes Victoria watched Sol Aries Helios as he slept in his bed while recovering from his wounds. When she came with Sol's limp body to the institute, he was near death. The doctors told her that his chances were slim and he would not live to see the morning.

And she was in a dilemma. She was battling herself if she should bring him to the other side or wait. Quite frankly, she was getting impatient but there was something in his blood that told her that he would be all right.

And the way he offered his blood to her told her more. It told her that he was prepared to give his life for her. That was more than anyone outside of the Hellsing Institute has done for her.

With a deep breath, she had decided.

Celes Victoria stood up and drew back the blanket that had covered him. Sol was lying on a medium sized bed, which suited her fine. But as he saw him, she could help but swallow.

She now saw what she felt last night as she leaned on him at the musical. His muscles were finely toned and perfect to her opinion. Even though certain areas of her delicious torso were covered with bandages, it took her all she had not to reach out and rub her hands over him.

"Delicious?" Celes chided at her thought. He wasn't that. He was scrumptious and maybe more. But her hunger for his blood was somewhat abated but her other hunger wasn't. And it was a good thing. It was far easier to control one lust than two.

But when she saw his sleeping face, her thoughts of lust were exchanged with a thought of content. He was so peaceful in his sleep that Celes didn't want to disturb him, even though she couldn't.

Sunrise was about a few minutes away when she had made up her mind. Looking around, Celes viewed his room. It was actually across hers so sunlight doesn't get in. Which suited her fine.

She then went towards his door and locked it. He then turned off the lights enveloping them in total darkness. This also suited her for she doesn't need any lights to what she was about to do.

Celes was still wearing her dress. She was waiting for the surgery to end but she was surprised that he only needed stitches but he had lost a lot of blood and was too weak. The strangeness of his injuries baffled her but she was too worried to care.

All she wanted was him to be safe.

Then she could question him all she wanted.

Celes Victoria removed her heels and set them beside the bed. Sighing for the grateful release of her feet from their prison, she then removed her thigh holster and placed it on the table.

She then began to remove her dress and slowly exited it to reveal her full glory never before seen by any man or vampire.

Standing only in her black silk lingerie, Celes smiled softly and began unclasping her bra, freeing her well formed breast from their confinement. Now she was in her panties and garter belted stockings. If Sol was conscious, she would give him a heart attack, or sate her lust. The latter was more appealing to her and she actually smiled in anticipation.

But tonight, that was not her purpose. Smiling softly, she carefully lay beside Sol and drew up the blanket and covered their half naked bodies with it. Still being careful to not disturb him, Celes snuggled closer, resting her head on the nook of his neck.

She sighed in pleasure as she felt his heat. She could dream the things she wanted to do to him when he wakes. She knew he would be all right. And she will wait for him to wake.

Even if it takes an eternity.

For now, she was simply satisfied on being close to him and feeling the heat radiate from his body.

All that mattered is that she was with him.

Closing her eyes, she slept in his arms.

"I cannot believe that that klutz fought that Iscariot dog to a stand still!" Sir Integra Hellsing slammed Celes's initial report angrily on her desk.

"The Degenerator ran with his tail between his legs," Alucard said in full mirth. "The boy has skills that would surpass a mere human."

"I cannot believe that," Hellsing said almost in a growl.

"Then he has an advantage," the vampire chuckled. "I would not underestimate him."

"You sound like you speak from experience," Hellsing leaned her elbows on her table and looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Alucard smirked as he began to faze through the wall. But before he completely disappeared, he glared at his handler.

"I am," he said in a deep voice making Hellsing's heart stop. But she quickly masked this emotion behind a frown. But the vampire's tone made her stop and think.

Was the boy hiding his true potential or was Alucard teasing her?

Sighing, she decided that she didn't want to find out.
