Hi, so I'm really sorry about the delay in updating this story. My excuse (and yes I know an excuse isn't really acceptable, but it's all I can offer along with this chapter) is that I've been bogged down with schoolwork, that and the fact that I have little me time between school, a part time job and trying to reach my 17th birthday so I can learn to drive legally lol.
He felt her stir before her eyes fluttered behind their lids and she stretched languidly, a jaw-breaking yawn forcing itself from her mouth. He quickly put down the book he'd been reading and made his way over to her side, eagerly watching as she laid her head on an out stretched arm and opened her eyes to stare into his rapidly darkening ones. She gave a small smile that was ten percent innocent and ninety percent wicked as she ran a finger along the arch of her neck and down the side of her body to disappear under the sheets.
His eyes followed the movement of that lone finger like a starving man, rage instantly blossoming within him at the sheet that covered his view, especially when she arched and let out a low moan. His eyes shot up to meet hers at that moan and he was rewarded with the sight of her half lidded eyes gazing straight into his. Her eyes were clearly saying come get me, but as tempting as that was they still hadn't finished their talk, though……… it wasn't as if they couldn't talk later……… his mind was quickly made up as her pants became more frequent and her moans rose in pitch. He quickly pulled the sheet off of her heated body, his eyes already locked onto the hand buried between her legs.
Giving a low growl, he moved her hand away, ignoring her soft whimpers of protest as he slid her onto her side, back facing him and manoeuvred his body onto his side until he was able to slide inside her from behind. His vision became nothing but the colour sliver as Serena flung her head back and arched against his chest, a low moan seeming to have coaxed its way out of her throat. Her pert posterior pushed back at him, encouraging him to move, something he needed no encouragement in doing.
His slid in and out of her body, trailing kisses along any available skin that somehow managed not to be covered by her luscious hair, their legs tangled together as they lost themselves in the throes of pleasure. He felt her body tighten around him and let himself go, sinking his teeth into the smooth arch of her neck, each suction of his mouth creating another wave of pleasure to go through them both. Eventually he pulled away, his hunger sated in more ways than one.
"That's one way to wake up I guess."
He chuckled into the back of her neck, delighting the way shivers emerged from the spot and travelled round the rest of her body. Pulling himself out her body he slid his hand around her body until it was resting just under her generous bosom, turning his hand until he was able to gently palm one of her breasts.
"I know you might not want to hear it but I've got to teach you the basics to being a vampire. How to hunt, the basics in how to use your core powers…"
"My core powers?" "Yes, I believe that is what I said."
"Dariiieeen!" "Serreennaa!" He didn't have to see her face to know she was pouting, her body language telling him all there was to know.
"To answer you unspoken question your core powers are the ones that all vampires come with, such as simple mind control. Contrary to popular belief, the rest of your powers don't come from the person who created you, they develop themselves over a period of time."
"So basically you're saying you have no idea what sort of things I'll be able to do."
"Basically? Yes."
"Anything else your highness thinks I should know?" "Not at the moment, now you need to go take a shower while I go make a few calls."
"You best not be using my phone, my bill's already through the roof."
Shaking his head, Darien rolled off the bed, aware that Serena was watching his every move.
"If you don't hurry we're going to be late for our appointment. With that he strolled naked into Serena's living room, ignoring her question of "What appointment" and leaving the slightly annoyed owner of previously mentioned living room behind him.
Sighing, Serena made her way into her bathroom. She was still extremely confused about the whole situation, but she felt a calmness within her whenever he was within touching distance. Who did he think he was anyway? Ordering her around in her own home. Huffing Serena stepped under the water, allowing it to beat out the kinks in her neck and back.
While Serena was in the shower, Darien was taking the opportunity to get in touch with the rest of the vampires within his kiss, asking them to meet him for lunch. He also took the liberty of phoning in for Serena, calling her in sick for the rest of the week. Smirking he knew, she wouldn't have been too pleased with his actions but he was anticipating the fight she'd put up after all, she was unbelievably hot when she was angry, she'd already proved that last night.
An hour later…"You arrogant bastard! What gives you the right to call me in sick? Some of us need the money to survive, never mind live."
He'd been right, she really was a scorcher when angry and Darien had never been one afraid of getting burned. Shaking his head, he sent her a devious smirk, something known to bring countless women to their knees, no matter their status in society, unfortunately it did nothing more than convince Serena that Darien really was an "arrogant bastard". He watched her long legs as she moved, appreciative of the extra swish her already short skirt had taken as she stomped down the street, her heels clicking along the pavement.
Before he could respond, they both heard someone calling Serena's name, accompanied by the sound of hurrying footsteps. Turning around, they both caught sight of a pretty red head moving intently towards Serena. A sound of delight escaped Serena as she moved to meet the woman half way, her own face a lighting up at the sight of the woman. Darien lent back against the restaurants entrance, observing as the two women launched into a conversation that was almost too fast to follow, neither seeming at all bothered by the need to pause and take breath.
Obviously having been forgotten by Serena, Darien grinned ruefully before he made his way to meet his friends, confident Serena would figure out where'd he'd gone when she'd finished talking. Skilfully manoeuvring his way through the restaurants many tables Darien came to a halt before his kiss; 6 individuals that he trusted with his life……… as much as a life you could get while being undead anyway.
Sitting down, Darien glanced round his friends: to his right sat Andrew, the "older brother" of the group, blonde hair, wicked blue eyes, killer smile he was model material which while helped draw in customers to his arcade, wasn't exactly needed in his line of work; next to him was his girlfriend Mina, the blonde airhead of the group, she was a model with shoulder length blonde hair, cute dimples in her cheeks and robin blue eyes; next came Lita, the tomboy who could cook up a storm… literally, her restaurant was a major hit throughout the city. Shoulder length brunette hair, warm brown eyes and a wicked sense of humour, usually aimed at the person next to her, Ami.
Ami was a bookworm as well as one of the most intelligent people to walk the earth. Her profession as a doctor did nothing to dampen her ladylike demur, though it did contrast against her dark blue hair and eyes. Raye was the firecracker; she had dark purple eyes, black hair and one hell of a fiery temper. Being Darien's baby sister did nothing more that motivate Raye to make a name for herself in the world, something she accomplished by becoming one of the most sort after models in the world.
Last came Chad, the slacker in the group, though you didn't want to make him angry or insult Raye, his girl friend. He had shaggy brown hair that often hung over his eyes and dark chocolate pools for eyes. He was often the cause of Raye's fiery temper to be ignited with his easy go personality and charming smile that had women clambering all over themselves just to be near him.
"Where the hell have you been? I've called the apartment at least six times. Was it so hard to move that lazy ass of your and return anyone of those calls?"
"Good to see you too Raye, I'm doing fine, yourself?"
The rest of the table laughed as Raye fumed in her seat.
"Judging from the smug smile threatening to split his face in two I'd wager a guess and say he was with a girl last night."
At Andrew's words, the smile on Darien's face deepened, piquing the interest of the group, but before anyone could say anything further they were interrupted by a high pitched squeal, quickly accompanied by the rush of an over made up red head as she latched herself onto Darien's arm.
"Darien darling, why didn't you tell me you were coming by hmmmm? I would have had Emerald wipe you up something extra special."
Darien tried not to gag at the overwhelming smell of Beryl's perfume.
Because my plans for the day and well… the rest of my life don't really concern you Beryl, now would you kindly let go of my arm?"
Beryl pouted at his words, her eye lashes fluttering in an overly exaggerated way, but before she could speak, Darien found his lap occupied by a warm body, his vision filled with midnight blue eyes before his own eyes closed and he returned the passionate kiss placed upon his eager lips. Gasps flew around the table at the scene they were witnessing, the couple ignorant of the looks they were receiving until Serena pulled back, placing one last kiss upon his lips, her arms staying looped around his neck, feet kicking in the air slightly as they hung over his legs.
"Missed me baby?" Serena giggled at the smouldering look in his eyes, "Like you wouldn't believe sweetheart."
"Darien…… Who the hell is this? Another one of your clingy tramps?"
