Dark Desires Ch. 13
Ruby looked down over the city, the last several weeks have been brutal for her, mentally and physically, she inherently wasn't complaining but it did bring attention to the fact that she has been so focused on learning to control herself that she completely forgot about her life in Minnesota. Not that there was much to go back to or for, but the problem was her mother, demanding her to come home.
Closing her eyes, she knew if she didn't figure a way to handle this and quickly, she was certain that her mother wouldn't stop harassing her, and she would eventually come up and attempt to drag her home. Leaning forward, Ruby banged her head against the balcony railing.
"That's got to hurt."
Letting out a sigh, enjoying the last bit of sun before it started to settle behind the horizon. Looking behind her, Ruby couldn't help but smile, "It does, but luckily I'm not prone to headaches."
Turning towards Blade, she couldn't help but smile, he had helped these last few weeks in her training, not just the weapons, but the hand to hand, as well as testing her limits to find out how much of his gifts were passed on, and as Deacon predicted she was almost an exact duplicate of him.
Making his way to the railing, "Why are you beating your face in then?" In his time getting to know Ruby, she generally was one of the most levelheaded people he knew.
Trying not to bite through her cheek, "My mother, has been calling 3x a day, wants me to come home, and that was after ignoring me for a month and some change after she told me that I am no longer her concern." She could see that made him tense, "So, now I have to figure out how to uncomplicate my life from hers, without her coming her or calling the FBI."
Blade looked down at her, rubbing his face, that was a complicated issue and one that if she didn't find a solution to handle, Deacon would. As much as the man loved her, his job as Head of House would require him to handle any threats to his mate, his House, and to the vampire community.
Before he could really think of something witty or insightful, the sound of the plates rising, indicating that the rest of the house was waking up. "I need to be heading out for the evening, but you are handling your bloodlust well, you haven't bitten or snapped at the familiars that you've been exposed to, so if you can keep your temper in check, perhaps a trip home would do the trick."
Touching her shoulder as he made his way past Deacon, "Later pretty boy." Chuckling at his face.
Ruby watched as the elevator door shut, but his words kept ringing in her head, a trip home would work, it was almost time for school, she could quit her job, close out her life, and tell her mom that she was going to South America or something and just disappear.
Shaking her head out of those thoughts, she watched as Deacon walked towards her, blood in his glass. "Sleep well?" She asked, hoping that he was well rested.
Rolling his eyes as Blade walked past him, but over the last couple weeks he has gotten use to his presence in his home. Mostly for the benefit of his love, but it did help him personally to keep the peace, if the other vampire Houses could see that he was still working with him, it instilled that he was able to keep the peace as well as have strong allies.
Tilting his glass back, enjoying how the blood soothed his throat, but if he was being honest, he has been wanting it fresh, the last time was in the alley when he took her to Swan Lake.
Stepping to her, he gently rubbed her cheek, "I did," his eyes looking down into her green ones, "Go on a hunt with me." He breathed out, hoping that she would say yes, but he would never pressure her.
Taking a deep breath, Ruby could see that he really wanted this, and she really wanted to try her hand at being a vampire in its full form, but still be mindful of who she was. Pulling him a bit closer to her, she gently kissed his lips, "OK."
Wrapping his arms around her body, threading his hands through her hair, he pulled her closer to his body, his cock hard. Running his nose down her neck, gently biting her, "My goddess, go get dressed." Biting her neck gently, turning her around and swatting her ass as she walked away.
His eyes watched her move towards their bedroom, he could feel his fangs in his mouth, a part of him was thrilled that he about to take her out for her first hunt, but more excited to be inside her after they were done.
Ruby held his hand as they jumped down from the loft, it was the first time since her transition that she and Deacon explored the city as vampires.
As they landed on the other side of the street, Ruby dropped his hand and darted through the rooftops, just looking over her shoulder as she made the jump towards the next few buildings, enjoying how the air felt as she moved, one thing was for certain, Mercury did a great job with training her, while she would still continue to learn different fighting styles, with weapons, she felt confident enough in her skills to not feel like the weak leak any longer.
Deacon watched with amazement as she moved, he knew that she took her training seriously, hell he even watched her during her trainings with Mercury and Blade, and from what he saw she was surpassing Mercury and holding her own against Blade, it was sexy as fuck to watch.
Keeping up with her, enjoying that she was leading them to towards skid row, he knew that if and when she was hunting, she would never risk hurting someone unless they were doing great harm to another person. It was her ability to separate deaths that impressed him, innocent was never something she was willing to compromise on, but she was more than happy to bring her own brand of justice, just like she did with Krieger, it was sexy.
Moving next to her, he watched as she vaulted towards the last building. Smirking as she slid to a stop. Stopping just short of the ledge, turning towards her, he could see her eyes were sparkling with excitement, "Are you ready my goddess?"
Looking into his eyes, Ruby could see that he was excited, but being a vampire for over 600 years, hunting probably was second nature to him. "Yeah, but what about the bodies?" Realizing that they couldn't just leave them out for anyone to find.
Moving some of her hair out of her face, "After, I'll call a familiar to handle it." His eyes watching her, "Are you ready?"
Nodding, "I am. Please show me." While Ruby was ready, she was nervous about doing this correctly.
Smirking at her nerves, he grabbed her hand and stepped up onto the ledge, helping her up. "Look down, and tell me what you hear?" His eyes watching hers.
Scanning the streets, she saw a bunch of homeless, and people walking about, but nothing that screamed worthy victim. But as she was going to ask him to take her somewhere there was a better chance to find someone that she wouldn't mind ripping apart, it was the sound of a child screaming that caught her attention.
Turning towards the sound, her eyes zeroing in on a street kid being tossed into the wall, and a grown man kicking the teen.
Hissing at the sight, Ruby jumped down, grabbing the man that was hurting the child, tossing him into the dumpster. Turning her eyes to the child, "Go home, now." She growled out.
Eli looked up, he knew about vampires, and this one was saving him, not sure what was going on with the vamps, but for the last couple weeks they have been choosier about who they've been snatching. Standing up, "Thanks."
Ruby watched as the kid double timed out of the alley. Turning her attention to the man that was now getting up, she could hear Deacon jump down, giving him a quick glance, she could see that he was leaning against the wall, watching.
Standing up, his eyes looking for the man that tossed him off, but instead of finding a grown ass man, he found a barely 5-foot blonde looking all kinds of pissed. Dusting himself off, he locked eyes with her, pulling out a knife, he was going to gut the bitch.
"After I gut you, I'm going to skull fuck you, bitch." Smirking at her, imagining his cock in her mouth, gagging on him, and forcing her to swallow his cum.
Looking at the man, she could almost hear his thoughts. Giving Deacon a look, "How do I do it?" she asked, not bothering to really watch the man.
Pushing himself off the wall, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, licking her ear, "Simple my goddess, you can just hold him and drink or if you're looking to end it quickly, snap his neck and drink. Dealers' choice." Chuckling at them man who was now looking a bit nervous. Licking her neck, "But make sure his heart stopped before you do, or you'll turn him."
The man watched as they discussed ending his life as though it meant nothing. Scared, "Who the fuck are you people?" Holding the knife a bit tighter, ready to cut them if they made a move at him.
Inhaling deeply, Ruby could smell the fear rolling off him, it was the first time she's experienced such a sweet aroma. Her eyes focused on the man in front of her, taking a tentative step forward, she watched as he held the knife up, while she wanted a small part of her wanted to say something witty or scary to prolong this, Ruby was never someone that enjoyed playing with her food, not matter what it was.
Moving quickly Ruby grabbed the arm with the knife securing it so that it wouldn't cut her, not that she was worried about him killing her, but there was no need for hurting herself. Wrapping her arm around his neck, Ruby jumped onto his back and sunk her teeth into his neck, using her other hand to cover his mouth to keep him from screaming out.
Ruby had to keep herself from moaning as the fresh blood poured down her throat. It wasn't as flavorful or smooth as Deacons, but it was a close second. Being mindful of the man's heartbeat, Ruby drank her fill, her eyes never leaving Deacon's. The more blood that she drank and the longer she watched Deacon, all she wanted to do was rip off his clothes and fuck him.
Leaning against the wall, Deacon watched his love feed, he could feel the cum dripping out of his cock, it was hard to keep himself still as she fed, but this being her first real hunt, he didn't want to crowd her.
He took a deep breath, he could smell her desire, it was coursing through her veins. Unable to stop himself, he reached down slightly rubbing his cock, needing to feel some sort of relief, his eyes scanning every inch of her, from how she her long blonde hair was flowing down, to the cute little cotton dress she was wearing, his body aching to be inside her.
Hearing the heart start to studder, he knew that he was almost dead and with no chance of turning, while he rubbed his cock, he took out his phone, making the call to pick up the body and take it to the crematorium for disposal, as he finished that call, he watched as she dropped the dead body. Smirking at her face, while she was mostly clean, the blood dripped down her chin a bit, which only intensified his desire for her.
Moving quickly, he lifted her up and had her on the roof before she could come down from the initial high of the blood. Chuckling as her eyes focused on him, wrapping his hand in her hair, he pulled her head back, licking the blood off her chin enjoying having fresh blood in his system with the added flavor of her skin. "My goddess."
Before she could respond Ruby found her chest pinned over the ledge her eyes looking down at the body that she just drained. "Deacon." She whispered out as she felt him rip off her panties. She could feel her pussy getting wet, and she knew he could smell her.
Unable to hold himself back, Deacon dropped his pants, letting his cock spring up to his abs, using one hand to hold her down by the neck, and the other to grab his dick, he lined himself up with her dripping wet pussy, and slammed himself forward, growling out as her body gripped him like a vice. "FUCK. So perfect."
Ruby bit her lip hard, she could see there was someone directly below her collecting the body, and as much as she loved screaming for him, she held strong. Her hands clenching against the ledge, she could hear it cracking under the pressure of her squeezing it, which only seemed to excite her more. Pushing back a bit, she groaned as she felt his balls slapping her clit, "Please." She begged him.
Gripping her hips with his hands, "Do not fucking move." He growled out, his brain and body needing to control this, and like everything about her, she understood his need to dominate her completely.
Setting a brutal pace, he could feel her pussy starting to flutter, which only served to drive him harder into her body, "CUM for me, my goddess. Squeeze my cock with that perfect pussy." His voice filled with desire.
"Oh God." Holding the ledge a bit tighter, Ruby could feel her body coil, as she was feeling the orgasm building in her body, a hand wrapped around her throat pulling her towards his chest, the angle causing her to hiss out. "Deacon." She cried, the pleasure overwhelming her senses.
Hearing his name on her lips, his beast pushed forward, sinking his fangs deep into her neck, enjoying how her blood now fused with humans soothed the ache in his throat, and pushed him over the edge. Moaning as he came deep in her body, her pussy contracted around him, milking every last drop he had into her.
Ruby swore she felt dizzy, as her body shook with the force of her orgasm, she wrapped her arm behind his neck, using him to keep her from falling forward. Taking a second to catch her breath, she looked over her shoulder, she could see the look of satisfaction in his face. "That was amazing."
Looking at his love his cock still deep inside her, "You were." Pulling himself out, almost hissing as her body clenched to keep him inside of her. His eyes finding her panties in half on the floor next to her foot, leaning over to pick them up, he gently nipped her bare ass, chuckling as she jumped. "Don't worry my love, soon I'll fuck you there too."
Keeping her eyes on him as he put her torn panties in his pant pocket, Ruby shivered at the thought of him fucking her ass. Leaning against the wall, Ruby could feel his cum starting to drip out of her body, but there wasn't much she could do about that at the moment. "Are you going to hunt?" she asked, not wanting him to go without.
Touching her face, "Don't worry, you sated my hunger." Gently kissing her lips and smiling at her confused face. "You just finished a human, and I bit you right after, so you shared with me." It was the first time that he ever done that with someone, grateful that his first time was with his love.
Leaning into his hand, "As long as you're sure." She could almost feel herself wanting to purr. "How often can we do this?"
Pulling her closer to his body, "Probably ever couple weeks. Need to lead by example." He teased.
Snorting, "Sounds about right." Leaning against his chest, "I guess that we should go home, one of us really needs to be clean." Between her dress, the cum, and the blood that was on her chin, Ruby felt a bit dirty.
Taking her by the hand, he pulled her towards the loft, enjoying how the evening breeze caressed their skin as they ran along. It didn't take them too long to get back, gently pushing her towards the bathroom, he headed towards his office, he needed to finalize the last of the renovations on the house.
Looking over the blueprints, it was now a fortress, the windows were bullet proof and could withstand a small missile, they were also a special UV blend that would protect from the sunlight, so now the vampires in his home would be able to be out in the sun so to speak without feeling the effects of the sun. The plates were the last to be installed as an added layer of protection, the walls of the home were reinforced, nothing was getting into the house itself without his knowledge.
Taking in her love of simple and elegant, he had the master bedroom and bathroom designed for more her tastes, wanting to make her feel welcome in their home that they were building together. The rest of the house was designed to be elegant but neutral, he knew that having the house look like a pristine museum wouldn't make him happy, nor would having it look like a cliché goth home, the designer did a fantastic job of adding all the elements to make the home welcoming for the family, but also fancy enough when the Heads of the Houses were over.
Hearing a knock at the door, "Come in."
Opening the door, Quinn walked in, "Hey Boss, how'd she did she do?" Taking a seat across from him.
Unable to keep the smirk off his face, "Better than I did my first kill. She barely got any blood on her. I'm starting to think that the rest of us were just letting our more primitive sides rule our actions, she's putting the older vampires to shame." He said, pouring a glass of whiskey for himself and Quinn.
Taking the glass, "Yeah it doesn't surprise me." Enjoying the burn of the alcohol, "Oh, your order was ready." Reaching into this pocket he pulled out a black velvet box, sliding it over to him.
Taking the box, he opened it, inside was a necklace in a platinum setting with a charm which was the Viking symbol for wolf. Taking it out of the box he loved the way the rubies sparkled in the light. "And the other item?"
Quinn smirked, "It should be ready by the end of the week." If he was being honest, he was jealous, not because Deacon was the leader of a House, but he had something amazing with Ruby, he wanted that, a connection with someone. Letting out a sigh, he could see that Deacon was watching him.
"You're not normally such a deep thinker, what's up?" He asked.
Shrugging his shoulders, "I want what you have with Ruby." Downing the last of the whiskey, "I mean the idea of running a House, not so appealing, but having a mate. I wouldn't mind that."
Leaning back in his chair, Deacon didn't really think that Quinn would want something like that, but perhaps he really didn't know his 2nd. "If you found a mate, would you want a House to yourself?" Curious about what he wanted.
Shaking his head, "No man. Too much stress." Looking over at him, "I think you should also talk with Alexander and the council, if finding a mate within the bitten is possible, eventually there could be dozens of random houses, perhaps there should be something written now for that, so that there isn't too much power spread out to people that might not have the brains to properly run something."
Rubbing his face, "Not a bad idea." Giving him a once over, "You know, perhaps once we are settled into our new compound, go take some time, explore this world, who knows you might find a mate, or not, but doesn't hurt to try."
Perking up, "And if the small chance I do, would we be welcome in your House?" Hoping that he would be able to stay within House of Vangr.
A year ago, probably not, but since Ruby has entered his life, he realized that having mercy, showing compassion as needed didn't mean he was weak. "Yeah. I've grown fond of you." He teased.
Making a move to stand, Deacon nodded to his second, and found Ruby freshly showered and sitting on the couch, Mercury and Raquel around her. They took their job as her protectors seriously, the other Ladies of Houses weren't so lucky, they were appointed people that were only there for their own ambitions, but with Ruby, she never stifled them, nor would she.
Moving quickly behind her, he pulled the necklace up to her face, "It's time you wore something that represents our house."
Ruby's eyes locked on the pendant, she recognized the symbol, Deacon spent a lot of time teaching her his old language, "It's beautiful." Lightly touching pendant.
Slipping around her neck, he secured it with the clasp, placing a gentle kiss on the back of her neck, "You are more so."
Looking down at how the pendant now hung right above her cleavage, she knew that having their symbol represented on them as well as their inner circle, was paramount to reflecting the unity within their house. She knew that eventually Quinn, Mercury, and Raquel would need a piece of jewelry reflecting their house. Now that Deacon has made the selection, she would have something made for them, not that she didn't trust Deacon to do it, but it was her responsibility as the Lady. When she got back, she would make sure that the jeweler made something outstanding for them, that would reflect their House but also their personalities.
Looking up into his eyes, Ruby couldn't help but feel complete, "Thank you." Sitting up on her knees, she kissed him, not really caring if it was too much in front of the others.
Mercury and Raquel shared a look, knowing that soon she would be engaged to him, and soon there after married. That was something that neither of them ever expected of Deacon Frost, but here he was, in love, mated, and the Head of his own House. While he was still a dick from time to time, Ruby made him a better man, and that's what a real mate should do.
Pulling back, Ruby looked into his ice blue eyes, "I love you. Deeply." Carefully getting off the couch, she took his hand, leading him out to the balcony, wanting to talk to him about her impromptu trip. Pulling him to the couch, she leaned against his chest, feeling more relaxed now that she was in his arms.
Wrapping his arms around her, "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Sensing that her mind was racing.
Sitting up, turning her body towards him, "I need to go back to Minnesota," feeling his body tense, "I have to deal with my mother, if not she will come here, and cause too many issues." Looking up into his eyes, "As much as I love you, I'm not sure how I'd deal with you killing my mother." Giving him a small smile.
Tucking a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, "I'd love to keep you from pissing you off." Letting out a frustrated sigh, "I can't come with you, as much as that pisses me off," Wrapping her hair in his fist pulling her close to his face, "Let me be clear, don't you dare get hurt, or I swear, when I get my hands on you, your ass is going to be sore."
Licking her lips, "That could be tempting," smirking at his face, "But, I'll make sure that I don't even get a scratch."
Pulling her onto his lap, "You are lucky that everyone is inside, or I'd bend you over again." Swatting her ass. Pulling her closer to his lips, "Is there someone that you want to bring with you?" Hoping that she would want a familiar to watch her back.
Taking a moment to really think it over, while she knew that he would have preferred that, she really felt it was unnecessary, "No. I really don't think that would be necessary, but do you have someone that can help me disappear once I'm done there, so she won't come looking for me?"
While it wasn't how she wanted to end things with her mother, she knew it was for the best, her mother was a control freak and if she didn't vanish, it would end up causing her mother her life, and while she had her issues with her, she didn't want her to die.
Rubbing her back, "I do." His eyes locked on hers, "I'll give you a burner phone, so that you don't have a trail following you." Kissing her deeply, "Pack your stuff then, I'll have the jet ready for you to leave at sunrise."
Wrapping her arms around him, "Thank you." Laughing when she felt him lift her up and move to their room, knowing that he would want to spend as much time with her before she left, but she really didn't mind, if anything she needed a few good orgasms before she had to deal with her mother.
Leaning back in the seat, Ruby drank another pint of blood as the plane started to descend, she could feel her nerves starting to rise. Closing her eyes as the plane touched down, Ruby looked out the jet's window, she knew that in the hour, she would be standing on her old front porch, hoping to God that she would be able to get the hell out of here within the next 48 hours.
Exhaling deeply, Ruby shook off the last bit of her nerves, she was the Lady of House Vangr, no longer just a human being, she was her own person, and mated to a very deadly vampire, she was no longer that little girl that would let her mother push her around.
