Chapter 5
I woke up in a huge four poster bed wrapped up in thick blankets and curled up on Vlad's chest. I smiled and curled up closer to him, and I could feel him relax a little as I started to stroke my thumb up and down is collar bone.
A knock on the door startled me enough to sit up, which was the point when I realised I was only wearing my underwear. I looked at Vlad accusingly and he laughed and sat up to kiss my shoulder with a cheeky grin.
"I could hardly let you sleep in your clothes, they were filthy. So I had them sent down to be washed as well as sending out one of the servants to buy you some new ones."
I was about to speak when there was another knock at the door. I glared at it and Vlad laughed again as he got up to let in a group of three humans and a vampire dragging two clothes rails full of clothes between them.
They bowed to Vlad, ignoring the fact that both of us were barely wearing anything. He held his hand out to me and I gathered as much courage as I could as I stood up and walked over to him, all the while feeling very self-conscious of all the eyes on me.
The humans were obviously working hard to keep their faces neutral as they looked at me but the vampire made no such efforts. He was staring at my chest and leaned over to Vlad to compliment him on finding such a pretty human snack and asking him if I tasted as good as I looked, all spoken in Romanian.
Vlad laughed and went to reply when I looked straight at the vampire and told him if he didn't take his eyes away from my chest I would put a stake in his heart before he could lean over taste me for himself.
The vampire looked shocked and apologized repeatedly but I was too preoccupied with the look Vlad was giving me to care. I waved the vampire away and the three men quickly turned and left us alone.
I turned to look at the clothes they had brought up when Vlad pulled me back to him, lifting me easily to wrap my legs around his waist as he crushed my lips with his own.
He carried me back to the bed and lay on top of me as his lips ran down my neck and his fangs grazed my earlobe as he whispered to me.
"I don't think anything has turned me on more than the love of my life verbally bitch slapping my brother in perfect Romanian."
He ground his hips up into mine in order to prove his point and I gasped in pleasure and dragged my nails down his back as I felt his rock hard erection pressing into me.
"I d-didn't know he w-was your brother!"
I was finding it hard to speak and think clearly as Vlad moved his hands down to start rubbing me and tease his fingers around the edge of my panties while I spoke.
Vlad chuckled and moved his lips down to my breasts as his fingers continued to work down between my legs with a skill that could only have been learnt over a very long lifetime.
I arched as he pushed the very end of his finger inside me and growled as he pulled it back out again with a devious smile on his face.
"You are so wet down here; can you feel it dripping down onto the bed yet?"
I moaned and arched off the bed again as he pushed two fingers right inside of me and started up a steady rhythm. His other hand reached around me to unhook my bra which he carefully removed and chucked across the other side if the room.
He slid a third finger in as his mouth latched onto my right breast and he sucked hard. I gasped as I felt the tug which seemed to come from a lot lower down.
Suddenly the door burst open and we pulled apart, Vlad pulling the duvet up to cover us. Three vampires who looked as old as the books made of animal skins you find in museums. They were all dressed in black leather with high collared capes and white hair.
Vlad looked at them with pure hatred in his eyes and hissed at them as they came to a stop at the end of the bed. The one in the middle who was obviously in charge bowed slightly and the others followed suit.
"What the hell do you think you are doing barging in here like this, I explicitly told you I did not wish to be disturbed."
"I am sorry your highness, but the council feel you are neglecting your responsibilities and I have been sent to remind you that there is still the matter of the slayer attack in England just moments before the vampire council arrived and you are supposed to be proposing your plans for the slayers guild. The council believes that it is more important for you to be in session rather than with your human pet."
Vlad went to reply but I placed my hand on his shoulder and sat up carefully before I spoke.
"Excuse me but I may be able to help with these matters, after all I was the one who instigated the attack in England. I can tell you now the slayers will have already moved their headquarters and decommissioned your spies, and any attack you launch will fail. And I am not a pet, I am a fully trained slayer and I advise you to watch your tongue before I remove it."
The oldest vampire gave me a look that would kill birds in mid-air, then bowed to Vlad again and left as quickly as he had arrived. The two vampires left apologized to Vlad for their master's behaviour and turned to follow him with a small bow.
Vlad turned to me and I flinched at the look he gave me. He turned his head away and stood to walk to the walk-in wardrobe they had now hung my clothes in. He reached out and picked up two outfits that had been lain out for us before walking back to me.
He dumped on outfit next to me and I looked up questioningly. He sighed and started to get dressed.
"Thanks to your lovely speech where you threatened my most lethal opponent and declared yourself as not just a slayer, but one who had caused the deaths of almost three hundred of my kind in just one attack, you now have a huge target pinned to your back. And if I leave you alone now someone is going to suck you dry in the blink of an eye, and since I have a council session I must attend, you are just going to have to come with me."
I gave him the iciest glare I could as I sat up, then I got out of the bed and started to get dressed in the stupid outfit they had placed out for me.
It consisted of a lot of black lace and leather and coupled with my long black hair and naturally pale skin I looked a lot like Vlad's sister before she was killed.
I heard a gasp behind me and turned round to see the pain etched all over Vlad's face, and I could tell he was thinking the exact same thing I was. I looked down and walked over to the wardrobe, but was stopped when Vlad put his hand on my arm.
"Don't change; you look beautiful like this, just like she did."
"I don't want you comparing me to your sister all the time."
"I won't, you are your own person. You just looked so much like her, but the longer I look the more I see how different the two of you are."
I nodded and gave him a small smile, then I took his arm and we walked out to the council chambers. Just as we were leaving the room I looked round and realised I had never seen a building like this in Norwich. I turned to look at him with confusion on my face.
"Where exactly are we? I am assuming the vampire headquarters but no-one actually knows where it is."
"We are in Romania, although I can't tell you exactly where."
