Godric & Kristina Meet: Part 1
GODRIC'S POV:
(After finishing a call with Eric)
That was definitely interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have time to sit and ponder the affairs of Louisiana right now. My sire has decided to make a surprise visit and according to Isabelle, he has a female with him.
I must admit that I am curious to meet the creature that my maker has brought to my nest. I can only think of two possibilities: 1) He has taken a pet or companion, or 2) He has brought his infamous goddaughter to meet me. I am assuming that it is his goddaughter, since they were just in Shreveport together.
Exiting my office, I set off toward the sitting room to accept my Sire. As I turn the corner into the hallway, I sense, before I see or smell, another presence. I hear a female ending a phone call before seeing her slide a phone into her back pocket.
I take the chance to appreciate the view. She has long, curly blonde hair that reaches her waist.
I allow my gaze to follow her hair, and see that she has a curvy figure, just how I like it. Her hips are covered in snug, but not tight, jeans that showcase her tight, supple ass.
As I am gazing, I see her stiffen, before turning around. Now I can appreciate the front view. She is wearing a V neck blouse in a floral print with a band just under her ample bust.
She appears to be around the age I was when I was turned, but with Supes that could mean anything.
Maybe I was wrong; I can see how any man or woman, Vampire or not, could be charmed by this woman. Maybe he will share.
As soon as my gaze reaches her eyes, I know that I will not have to share. I feel the pull.
She is the one Pythia told me about, my mate. I am instantly in front of her, where my lips meet hers. She doesn't pull back, so I take that as a sign to continue.
I gently back her up against the wall and rest my hands on her curvy hips. After a few minutes, I slide my tongue across her bottom lip, silently asking permission to deepen our kiss. I am grateful when she allows me entrance.
Unable to control myself, my fangs snick into place. I am surprised when I feel her canines extend into an upper and lower set of fangs.
I can't help myself, I must feel them.
We both start licking and caressing the others fangs when suddenly, she nicks her tongue on my fang.
Her blood is amazing, like liquid sunshine. It feels like I had a hollow place in me that her blood now fills. I can feel the power in it, but it feels so much stronger than someone her age should.
I pierce my tongue on one of her top fangs and allow the blood to pool. She instantly starts sucking on my blood and I can feel my blood taking root in her.
I honestly don't know how much longer I can keep myself from claiming her right here in the hallway. But, I can smell that she is a virgin and I know that I will need to be gentle our first time.
Luckily, or unluckily, we are interrupted by someone clearing their throat. How could I not notice someone else in the hallway with us?
I immediately know that it is my maker. I really hope that she isn't 'his'. Even though I can smell that she is a virgin, I can also smell him on her and smell his blood in her. Now that I smell her, I can also tell that she is Fae. She must have been masking her scent.
"The search is over." She says which just confuses me. I see Vlad shift his gaze from her, to me, then back to her.
"Sire, what a pleasant surprise, I wasn't aware that you were in the states until a few minutes ago. Please, do tell me who this lovely creature is that I am feeling the mating pull towards." I make sure to say 'Mating Pull', now please tell me that she is his goddaughter and not his pet.
Vlad seems to be in a daze, but snaps himself out of it to introduce us. "Child, allow me to introduce you to my goddaughter, Princess Kristina Brigant. Kristina, if you hadn't already deduced, this is my eldest, Godric, Sheriff of Area 9 Texas." Thank the Gods! Wait, that means that she is Niall's granddaughter, and he would never allow the Heir to Faerun to be the mate of a Vampire.
"It is a pleasure to officially meet you, Godric." She says with an innocent smile on her lips. Oh, what that smile does to my already painful situation in my jeans.
"The pleasure is all mine, believe me. I have heard many things about you and it is a pleasure to be able to put a face to the name." I tell her honestly, causing her to blush. I do believe that is my new favorite color.
Niall is going to kill me, if Vlad doesn't first. Everyone knows how much he loves her like he would his own daughter.
"Well, now that everyone has become acquainted, I believe that I need to check in with the Sheriff." Vlad says with his infamous smirk.
I escort both of them into my study that I had previously vacated. I sit in the chair behind my desk as Vlad and Kristina each take one of the visitors chairs.
I am about to ask Vlad the reason for his visit, when Kristina abruptly puts her hand up to stop me; I just raise my eyebrow in response. She instantly digs some kind of handheld device out of her large red purse.
***All telepathic communications will be inside asterisks***
***She is scanning the room for listening devices*** Vlad informs me telepathically.
That is a gift of his maker's bloodline. Vlad can communicate with any in his bloodline telepathically. So can all of his children and grandchildren.
Kristina starts moving around my office, using her detection device. I have my entire nest swept twice monthly, so I am sure that she won't find anything.
I am surprised when she reaches behind a book on my bookshelf and pulls out a bug. She just looks at me with a quirked eyebrow and Vlad's damn smirk.
Within the next three minutes, she has discovered four more bugs. One under the chair she had been sitting in, one above the door frame, one on the underside of my window sill, and one on the underside of my desk.
After she has placed all of them on my desk, she places her hand over them, closes her eyes, and says something lightly under breath. The five devices instantly disappear.
After sitting back in her chair with a satisfied smirk on her face, she motions for us to continue with our conversation.
"Well, that was enlightening. I have the entire nest swept twice monthly for bugs." I state, trying to figure it all out in my head. Who would be stupid enough to risk their life planting bugs?
"Obviously someone knows that. Here, take this and sweep the area's most private to you daily. If you press the red button, it will release a signal that will temporarily jam all transmissions." Kristina says while handing me the device she just used.
"So, the room is now secure?" I ask, which she just nods an affirmative to.
"Now that all the security issues are taken care of, I have come to check in, Sheriff", Vlad states.
"Of course, I was serious before. It is nice to see you Sire. How long will you be visiting my area?" Not that I would ever admit it to him, but I have become weary of this world recently. Luckily, I now have a reason for existence, and she has been smiling at me since we met in the hall.
"I'm not sure yet, but probably a month or so. I came to visit you, I have missed you my child. Plus, I wanted to introduce you to Kristina and she also needed to be in the states." He informs me.
There is a knock on my door, and I can tell that it is Isabelle, my second, and some human. After telling them to enter, I realize that the human is her pet, Hugo.
"Sheriff, Elder, Your Royal Highness, would you like any refreshments?" Isabelle asks, being the excellent lieutenant that she is.
"Two Royalty Blended's. And….?" I ask looking toward Kristina.
"Make it three, please." Well, that is definitely a shocker, but Vlad doesn't seem surprised.
A confused Isabelle and an obedient Hugo leave my office to fulfill our request.
"You are both welcome in my area as long as you would like. If you would feel more comfortable, I can make available one of my other properties for your stay." I offer, but knowing my maker, he is already staying wherever he wants.
"We have the penthouse suite at the Hotel Camilla, but thank you child." He states just as Isabelle and Hugo return with our bloods.
Hugo places two on the small table in between the guest chairs, while Isabelle places mine on my desk. I notice Kristina looking intently at Hugo, and I must admit that I am getting slightly jealous.
She is my mate, and apparently my mating instincts are already coming into the equation. Vlad must have sensed this, because he shot me a warning glare.
I have heard the stories of Kristina, The Angel of Death. She is known as a sweet, kind-hearted Faery. But you do not want to be on the receiving end of her wrath. I think I will just take their word for it.
Kristina surprises Isabelle and Hugo by thanking them both. Isabelle asks if we need anything else, to which we all decline, before excusing herself.
"To a new beginning", Kristina states as she raises her bottle of blood. Vlad and I both lift our drinks in agreement. While Vlad and I both take a sip of our blood, Kristina drinks down half of hers.
I didn't think it was possible to be turned on by someone drinking BOTTLED blood.
Yet again, Vlad must have sensed my arousal, because he just chuckled while rolling his eyes.
I can't help myself, but I continue to stare at Kristina, my enchantress. She will be mine; of this I have no doubt.
She looks up in time to see me staring at her, so she graces me with her bright smile. She is the sun that I haven't seen in over 2000 years.
She gets a mischievous look in her eyes and I see them change from a deep emerald green to a shiny light green.
Just then she stands up and starts walking towards me. Well, the night might just get more interesting yet.
KRISTINA'S POV:
(After finishing her call with Pythia)
As soon as I disconnect my call, I feel another presence enter the hallway with me. Instinctually, I try to 'read' them, but I get nothing.
Instantly, I turn around and see what looks like a 17 year old Roman boy.
This must be Godric. He is taller than me, with a strong build, light brown hair, and blue eyes that seem to carry the weight of his 2000+ years.
Not only is he silent to me, but I feel a tugging on my soul towards him. As soon as our eyes meet, I know that he is my Eternal Mate.
He is immediately in front of me and his lips meet mine in a passion filled kiss. The next thing I know, he has me backed against the hall wall with his hands resting possessively on my hips.
We continue sweetly tasting each other's lips, until I feel his tongue glide across my bottom lip seeking admittance, which I grant instantly. How can anyone taste so good? Or be so good at kissing?
All of these feelings start swirling around inside me. I must have opened up my empathy. But it seems that his feelings are just mirroring mine: lust, need, hunger, longing, and hope.
It all starts to become too much when I hear his fangs come into play. Just the thought of them is enough to cause both sets of mine to join the party.
I purposely cut my tongue on one of his fangs. I just couldn't help myself. In response, he cut his tongue, which I start stroking to encourage the flow.
He tastes so….powerful. I think he must have been something other than human before he was turned. I am sure I could live off of his blood for eternity.
I'm not entirely sure how long we stood there, but all too soon we hear someone clearing their throat. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that got lost in the moment.
As soon as I look away from Godric, I see Vlad leaning against a door frame with his arms crossed and that damn smirk of his on his face. Before Godric or Vlad can say anything, I take charge of the situation.
"The search is over." I state simply, to which Vlad just glances at Godric before returning his gaze back to me with a surprised look on his face.
"Sire, what a pleasant surprise, I wasn't aware that you were in the states until a few minutes ago. Please, do tell me who this lovely creature is that I am feeling the mating pull towards." Godric asks a still surprised Vlad.
Finally snapping himself back to reality, Vlad formally introduces us. "Child, allow me to introduce you to my goddaughter, Princess Kristina Brigant. Kristina, if you hadn't already deduced, this is my eldest, Godric, Sheriff of Area 9 Texas."
"It is a pleasure to officially meet you, Godric." I tell him with a smile.
"The pleasure is all mine, believe me. I have heard many things about you and it is a pleasure to be able to put a face to the name." He says while returning my smile.
His voice seems so familiar to me, but when have I heard it before? I know I have never talked to Godric before, and Godric and Vlad don't talk much, so I couldn't have overheard him.
"Well, now that everyone has become acquainted, I believe that I need to check in with the Sheriff." Of course, Vlad just has to be a smart ass about this.
Godric escorts us into his office. Well, it actually appears to be his study. As soon as I walk in, I know that something is off.
The aura of the room is unbalanced. I bet Godric doesn't realize that he has listening devices in his office.
I can tell that Godric is about to speak, but I put my hand up to stop him while I dig my Bug Detector out of my purse, definitely one of my better investments. I also tell Vlad telepathically what I am going to do. I know that he can communicate with those of his bloodline telepathically.
I end up finding five bugs throughout the room. Once I am sure that I have found them all, I place them on the desk. Summoning up some magic, while being careful to keep my scent masked, I de-materialize the bugs, and then sit back down.
Godric was quite surprised that, even after having his office swept regularly, that there were bugs. That is the problem; regularly. I give him my bug detector and advise him to sweep daily. Now to find out who put them here?
While the boys talk shop, I start to run through questions and scenarios in my mind about the bug planter. Who would be that stupid? Who would have enough knowledge to know when the area is swept? And why haven't I seen any of this?
I am brought out of my thoughts by a knock at the door. The Vampire Isabelle enters with what appears to be her pet. He smells strongly of her; not bonded, but they have definitely shared blood and a bed.
She asks if we would like refreshments. Godric, not knowing what I would like, request two bloods for him and Vlad, then looks to me.
I can tell he is surprised when I request a blood as well, I can feel it. I can also feel how surprised Isabelle is.
Godric states that we are welcome to use one of his properties while we are here, but Vlad declines.
Within a few minutes of their departure, Isabelle and her pet have returned with our bloods. I get an uneasy vibe off of the pet, so I decide to 'read' him, hoping that Isabelle hasn't glamoured him useless. Glamour is a bitch to get around.
I learn that his name is Hugo and that he is very upset with Isabelle. So upset that he is willing to betray the woman he claims to love, that Rat Bastard.
Having gotten all the information that I need out of him, I exit his mind and put my shields back up. I thank him and Isabelle, surprising them both. I might be a Princess, but my Momma taught me manners.
I raise my blood for a toast before drinking half of it. My anger and rage at this betrayal are making me blood thirsty, Royalty Blended will have to do for now until I can get some real blood.
I look up from my drink to see Godric staring intently at me. I smile at him in response. Then I get an idea of how to tell him of what I have learned.
I stand up and walk over to the side of his desk. I bend over and, unintentionally, give him a view of my chest. Ok, maybe I shouldn't have done that, it seems to have distracted him. Men.
***Telepathic conversations will be in asterisks**
***Just what were you planning on doing? He was already aroused from seeing you drink blood. *** Vlad states in my mind.
I am still getting used to the whole hearing vampires thing, but Vlad has learned recently that we can direct thoughts to each other.
I sigh; well I might as well get this over with before they realize that their bugs don't work.
I walk over to a still dazed Godric. When he realizes that I am standing next to his chair, he turns so that he is facing me. I take the chance and sit myself on his lap, surprising him even further.
Boy was Vlad right, Godric is definitely aroused and from the feel of things, I will be a very happy Goddess.
Godric gets over his surprise enough to wrap his arms around me, pulling me close. He then does a very 'Supe' thing and smells my hair. Being this close to him, I take the opportunity to smell him as well.
He smells slightly of Vlad, and power, but also he has an earthy smell, which is definitely turning me on even more than I already was.
After regaining my senses, I remember that Vlad is sitting right across from us. I instantly turn bright red and hide my face in Godric's neck, which just causes both Vlad and Godric to chuckle.
I look up enough to glare at Vlad, which effectively shuts him up. I lean back into Godric's neck and whisper, "I would like to give you a gift. I know who the traitor is, but you must promise me that you won't kill them. Can you promise me that? Can I trust you?"
I am strictly using this as a trust exercise. I know he is a vampire and I would never allow a traitor like Hugo to live. But I need to be the one to kill him. Godric already has a heavy conscience, and he needs to let me carry this burden.
After what looks like an internal struggle and maybe a silent conversation with Vlad, "I haven't known you very long, but I know I can trust you. I promise, now who is the traitor?"
"Please call in your nest mates and their companions or donors." The members of this nest need to know now not to cross me or mine.
With me still sitting on his lap, Godric takes out his phone and sends a text to Isabelle ordering what I requested. It takes a few minutes for them all to arrive.
While we are waiting, Vlad just watches us both with love and happiness in his eyes. I remain on Godric's lap. It just feels so right to be in his arms, plus I adore the kisses that he is placing strategically on my neck.
To prevent further embarrassment, I make sure to completely block out the scent of my arousal from going any further than our little bubble; although, I am sure Vlad knows the effect that Godric is having on me.
All too soon, there is another knock on the door. Godric gives a little pout, which, of course, I kiss.
"Later, Mo Chroi(My Heart)", I promise in my, mostly, native tongue before he commands his nest mates to enter. There is Isabelle, Hugo, a male vampire, one female human, and two male humans.
I never even thought that Godric might have a human. I can't help the feelings of jealousy that build up in me. Hopefully, I am just overreacting.
I do hope that he realizes that I would never share him. Faeries, Handmaidens, and Gods are all very sexual creatures and are very open when it comes to sex.
But when it comes to mates, female Faeries and Goddesses are very territorial. We will often take more than one mate, but our mates do not take any others.
We are fiercely possessive and most times, we can't control it. People think vampires are possessive, but they don't hold a candle to us.
