Iona's POV

It took everything in me not to ask what the repercussions would be, but I knew if I asked that they might turn from bad to worse. I was able to let the curious voice die down before moving off the table and standing in front of Alucard. He let me have a sly smile before speaking,

"How about this instead? Go ahead and go wash up. I'll bring our food to the bedroom, but you better be naked and in our bed by the time I get back. Understood?" That wicked smile that stayed on his face made my stomach turn into little knots. But I was so excited as to what he had planned.

I walked my tight ass into our bedroom, being sure both doors were shut completely before heading to the bathroom. I turned on the shower that sat in another corner of the bathroom away from the giant tub. I figured a shower would be much easier to quickly clean myself up with other than a long drawn-out bath.

I let the warm water fall over my skin. I washed my hair before reaching in between my legs to feel Alucard's warm seed dripping out of me. I smiled, a sort of proud smile. I was a virgin before he entered me for the first time. It felt right to let him take those types of things from me. Not only because I loved him, but because I craved him too. I craved every part of him, whether he was inside me or not.

I finished up my shower, making sure I had washed out most of Alucard's cum from my cunny. I took the time to plait my hair. It seemed so much longer than usual and I attributed that to being turned. I opened my mouth and ran my index finger up and down the two sharp teeth. I knew this new me would take some getting used to, but I was grateful at the fact that Alucard trusted me enough to turn me into his kind.

I made sure I was completely dry before making my way back into the bedroom. Stark naked the cold air rushed around my body. I took my time making the bed before I sat on the cool sheets. I smiled at the fact I was alive and here with my lover Alucard. I couldn't have imagined it any other way really. And I didn't want anything to change.

Alucard entered the room while I was lost in thought. I hardly even noticed him when he made his way toward me,

"Iona love. Here's dinner." His soft voice met my ears, but it felt like he was talking so loud. I took the plate, looking away from him hoping the sounds would eventually die down.

"Is it loud?" He whispered to me this time.

"It is." I took a bite of food after answering.

"It will be for a while I presume. I'm not exactly sure how your new vampire traits will feel or work for you but know I'm here to work with you on them." He took a small bite before continuing, "Thank you for following my directions beautiful." He eyed me up and down, taking notes of my naked body. We continued eating in silence, looking at each other from time to time and smiling.

"Are you finished?" He asked me. I hadn't taken a bite of the food for quite some time, I had just been letting the plate rest in my hand.

"I'm hungry, but… It just doesn't taste good." I offered the plate to him, which he took and set down beside him.

"I understand… Now lay down on your stomach. It's time for your punishment." My eyes widened at him.

"I'm not asking you, Iona… I'm telling you." He spoke harshly this time, waiting for me to do as I was told. I watched as his eyes narrowed,

"Don't make me regret thinking I was about to go easy on you." He used his hand to point to the bed once again, motioning for me to turn over and lie down. I looked down at the bed before moving into position. I lay, stomach down, with my legs and arms held close to my body.

"You have so many other senses now… I think this would be a good way to put them to use." He said before tying a thick black cloth over my eyes. The world went dark and I was ready to start moving away from him, but his strong arm grabbed me. A rough rope began making its way around my wrists and ankles, tying me helplessly face down spread-eagled on the mattress.

"I want you to try and picture the room around us. You know it and you know it well, picture the little details that your human eyes may have missed. As you're developing a sense of your surroundings, follow my voice. Where does my voice go in proximity to the room?" I noticed how his voice bounced around me. Moving from one corner of the room to another. Was he shifting around me? I had no real of knowing, but I figured that if he was trying to teach me something, he'd go about finding an odd way to do it.

The room was silent for several moments before I felt the sting of Alucard's hand meet my bare ass.

"Rule number one Iona: Never stop picturing the room, ever. Rule number two: Silence, especially in a situation like this, is a good way to get killed." I began picturing the room again, this time letting the edges of the room fade in first then everything else. The wooden mantle, the dead flowers that I had yet to replace, the bathroom door, the four bedposts to which I was tied, and then suddenly Alucard was in the image. I 'watched' as he paced around me. His hands were behind his back, his brows furrowed in concentration. He walked quickly around me before I could see him raising a hand to strike me once again. My lips parted quickly,

"Don't you dare strike me again!" I knew his intent wasn't to hurt me but to get my vampire senses to open up to the world around me. I 'watched' as he put his hand behind his back once more, his blonde hair shifting with his broad shoulders. A smirk grew across his lips,

"Good job sweet baby. But we aren't done with this exercise quite yet. You can see things but you're not hearing them. Try again." His words of encouragement helped tremendously get me back into the mind frame of the fact that he would never intentionally hurt me.

The silence returned once more. The image of the room flooded back into my closed eyes, Alucard's slender frame nowhere within my vision.

"Listen…" Alucard whispered somewhere beyond the edges of the room. I did my best to concentrate, trying to focus on what he meant. It was silent. Not a thing to be heard. Not too long after I felt his hand again, this time on my other tender cheek.

"Don't think about listening, just let it happen…" I pictured the room over and over again, each time after a few minutes being met with Alucard's increasingly painful smacks to my ass.

I sighed. I knew what he wanted but I wasn't sure if I was capable of it yet.

"Remember how you said my voice was loud? There are other things in the body that make a sound." It took me a moment to run through the body's organs before settling on the heart. The heart pumps, which in turn would make a sound. I let my body relax in the bonds before finding the sound of my own heartbeat and studying it. I reimagined the room, everything flooding back, a few seconds later I settled on a heartbeat of which was not my own.

The sound was far away, but gradually came close to my naked body. I let the little bit of free movement I had in my wrist point at Alucard. I took a deep breath in and let it out.

"Good job Iona. We will be working more on that in the coming weeks, not just in this room but in other rooms as well. That way you're at a disadvantage and we can hone in on these skills." He stroked my back as he spoke. "I'm doing this so that you can protect yourself when you're alone and when the castle may be empty." I nodded my head. I understood the justification behind his actions.

He rubbed my back for a while, my tense muscles relaxing under the pressure of his hands. Not before long, his long fingers found their way down to my cunny.

"Oh, baby… You're still so wet down there, aren't you?" He asked in a sexy tone. His fingers parted my pussy lips. A single finger found its way inside of me. I moaned in response. He, ever so slowly, finger fucked me. Just one single finger was all he used before slowing to a complete stop. A second later the girth widened, two fingers now. He found the same rhythm and speed. Over and over again he would do this, adding another finger and before long his whole fist was inside me.

The moans that escaped me were loud and drawn out. I didn't know what to do at this moment. A tingly feeling was building up inside me and it continually built. A sensation of warmth flooded over me. I was cumming on his hand. My body jerked, but Alucard never stopped or slowed his pace. Only until my body was a tired little puddle did he ease his hand out from inside me.

"You're such a good girl. Do you feel better Iona?" He was leaning over me. Whispering quietly. I shook my head up and down. I felt amazing but felt better when he laid his naked body on top of mine. The warmth from his skin covered me and I could tell his dick was hard from fondling me.

"Should I fuck you again Iona?" He said after a while.

"Yes…" was all I could muster in return…
