Author's note: While there is no details surrounding Dracula and what he does there is mention of rape and felt I should warn readers as this is an unfortunate thing that some women have experienced. There is NO details surrounding it but it is mentioned. However Dracula isn't the only one finding release which is the reason for the chapter name.

Chapter 8

(Needs relieved)

Dracula's point of view

It was late as I flew through the air. There was still no sign of Katie. It was as if a giant marker had simply erased her from existence. I knew she was out there somewhere with my enemies, though. The very idea of her among slayers made my blood boil. The idea that she had willingly gone with them brought ideas of all the ways I could punish her. Though even angry I knew there were some things I would not do to her.

Katie was a very beautiful girl and I wanted her to stay that way. She had an oval face and large innocent looking blue eyes. Her lips were full but not puffed out. I almost groaned as I remembered her full looking chest; though I'd never actually seen her breasts, and tiny waist. She had beautiful long slender legs which I longed to have wrapped around my waist in the heat of passion.

I landed on the edge of a building as the thoughts of having Katie beneath me became too much for me to concentrate. When I narrowly missed a sign I knew it was time to land. Need roared through me. I wanted Katie and I wanted her now!

Hearing a woman laugh I looked down to see a dark curly haired woman on the sidewalk far below. My heightened eye sight looked the woman over. She had a large chest and hour glass figure. Her eyes were brown instead of blue like my Katie's but she could be of use to me. Her body could give me release.

Katie's point of view

I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear as dusk came to an end and darkness took hold of the sky. Dracula would definitely be up now even if he had slept before; awake and capable of searching for me. Danielle had told me because I wasn't marked and hadn't been bitten that he couldn't actually track me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved. I never wanted to see the vile creature that had taken me prisoner again.

Danielle had looked at my scar and was pleased to find it wasn't infected. She told me she expected it would be because branding was something the count liked to do. He'd brand humans and then allow the injuries to purposely get infected to enjoy watching the inflicted person's agony. It made me at least a little thankful the count had not allowed an infection to happen to me.

I was surprised to learn she too had been branded years ago. He had not tried to make her a bride though. Instead he'd planned to make her a slave. Luckily she'd escaped and then was helped by a few slayers. She'd even married one of them and been blessed with Dennis.

"You're safe Katie," A masculine voice assured me. Slowly I looked back to see Parker looking at me. "I will protect you."

I couldn't help but give the handsome blue eyed man a small smile. "I know you'll do what you can for me. I do appreciate it." I lowered my eyes to the ground.

Gently he raised my chin to look into his face that now held a five o'clock shadow. As I looked into his blue eyes I felt a sense of peace. I don't know why but I moved toward him. Parker released me as I put my head on his right shoulder. It was instantaneous I felt strong muscular arms come around me and hold me to him.

Parker stroked my hair and I clung tighter to him. I needed to feel safe and here and now in the slayer's arms I did.

"Parker, take Katie to get some rest," Danielle said from several feet away.

"Come on." With his arm around me Parker led me down a long hall and into a room. "You can stay in here," he said turning on the light. I entered the room but didn't release him. I looked around and smiled as I realized where I was. I was in Parkers bedroom.

"Get some rest. He can't enter even if he were to find us; which he won't," Parker assured me. He started to pull away and I grabbed onto his hand tighter.

"Stay?" I asked suddenly afraid to be alone. "Stay with me." Parker looked at me and I knew he was fighting an internal battle on whether or not to stay. "Please?"

He pulled away from me but not towards the door. I watched as the curly haired man walked over to a dark brown chest of drawers. He opened the second to the top one and pulled out a black t-shirt. "Change into this and get into bed. I'll be back in a minute."

"You'll stay with me?" I asked hopeful. Parker smiled and touching my cheek he nodded and left the room so I could change. Pleased I changed out of the dress I now wore and into Parker's t-shirt. I put my dress over the back of a chair and then climbed into his bed. I could smell the scent of his aftershave and I loved it.

Hearing a knock a few minutes later I called, "Come in." The door opened and I watched as Danielle and Parker both entered the room.

"It's not I don't trust Parker but are you sure you want him to stay with you?" Danielle questioned. "He does have a habit of snoring." Parker rolled his eyes and I giggled. I knew the redhead was just making sure no one was trying to take advantage of me.

"I want him to stay, please."

"You're both adults I just wanted to make sure that you were certain. If you are simply afraid to be alone you can stay with Sonya or…oh wait no… she'll want Dennis. Monica will be occupied to. I guess you could stay with me…" I couldn't help but look a bit disappointed. "No Parker should stay here with you. A woman never feels safer than in the arms of a man." She smiled at me and giving a wink left the room.

"Sorry Dennis' mom is kind of…"

"It's okay," I interrupted. "She just wants to make sure you aren't trying to take advantage of me."

"I would never…" I smirked and he scowled at me realizing I was teasing him. "Katie you shouldn't..." His sentenced died.

"Shouldn't what?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.

"Look that good in my shirt." Parker's eyes were looking everywhere but at my eyes. I looked down to find I was on my knees and certainly not covered by the blanket. I looked back up and new the look that was now in his eyes. The eyes of concern he'd had were now filling with desire.

"I take it you approve?" I asked rather boldly. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' I internally shrieked. It was as if someone else had control of my body and voice. I wasn't easy or forward and I'd just met the slayer before me.

Parker cleared his throat. "I uh…I think you should lie down and cover yourself with me. I mean with the blanket," He quickly corrected. I couldn't help but smile at him. I didn't however do as he asked.

"Katie…" I watched as he suddenly turned his back on me. "I um…I think maybe I should find some pants for you."

"Do you want my legs covered?" I asked watching him suddenly look uneasy even turned away from me. Slowly I got off the bed and came up behind him. "You don't like my…"

"I like your…" Parker turned around and froze seeing I was standing there. He tried to look at my eyes but the temptation became too much and he glanced down before he could stop himself.

"You're not afraid of me are you?" I asked stepping closer to him. "Does it look that bad on me?" I asked reaching him. I touched his chest and knew he liked what he saw. I'd noticed a bulge in his pants that hadn't been there a few minutes ago.

"It would look better on the floor," He replied struggling to speak.

"Is that what you want?" I asked. Before he could even answer I reached up and gently kissed him.

Parker kissed back before pulling back. "Katie you're a beautiful woman and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want you but I can only behave for so long and…I don't want you to regret this."

"Then don't stop after tonight." I kissed him again and any resistance the blonde man had was instantly gone. Parker suddenly became almost aggressive as he grabbed me and kissed me possessively.

All thoughts left my head as our kisses became passionate. I raised his shirt and Parker slipped it over his head and let it fall to the ground. I ran my fingers over his perfect abs. Only a long thin scar scar across his left side marred his body from being perfect.

"What happened?" I asked running my left index finger over it.

"Bad fight," he replied and kissed me again. My eyes closed as his mouth connected with my neck. My eyes opened as I felt the t-shirt I wore raise up. I looked at him and was even surer I wanted him.

"Are you sure?" He asked. I didn't speak to answer him. Instead I reached over and unsnapped and unzipped the jeans Parker currently wore. He smiled at me and removed the shirt he'd given me to wear.

"Beautiful," He said looking at my now revealed chest. Parker suddenly picked me up and wrapping my legs around his waist he carried me the few feet to the bed.

I couldn't help but moan as Parker moved his mouth over my body. I wasn't a virgin but this was a new experience. It had taken Sam over a year to get me into bed. I'd known Parker only hours and here I was becoming impatient to feel him inside me.

"Parker," I half moaned half pleaded.

The blonde man smiled at me as a pleased look showed in his eyes. He leaned down and whispered into my ear, "Are we becoming impatient?" He moved his hardened member over me and I whimpered. "You're so wet for me," Parker whispered rubbing himself over me and between my legs without entering.

"Parker please," I begged.

"Please huh?" He said. I reached down underneath us and reaching between both our legs I rubbed my hand over his scrotum; causing the slayer to moan. "You win." He lifted himself and I let him. Parker positioned himself and entered me.

I moaned at the sensation of him inside me. Parker wasn't any quieter. The slayer began a rhythm I couldn't resist. I raised my hips to meet his thrusts. He felt wonderful but I wanted him deeper. "Harder," I said huskily.

Parker didn't hesitate. He raised a leg up over his shoulder and as he thrust deeper; I moaned in pleasure. He dropped himself lower and I practically screamed in pleasure.

"You're so damn flexible. I love it," He said as he twisted me into new positions and road me to pleasure again and again. Parker brought me so many times I lost count before finally coming again.

I moaned at the feel of his orgasm and the feeling of him releasing inside me. Parker laid his head down on my back having turned me over taking a very dominant position. "I don't share," He said breathing hard. "My bed and only my bed."

Parker was still inside me as he made his statement. "I don't want anyone else."

"Good." Slowly he pulled out and rolling over he lay on his back looking over at where I was still on all fours. He reached over and pulled me down so my head would rest on his chest. "Mine."

A smile crossed my face. "Mine," I said and rubbed my hand over his stomach.

Parker reached down and tipping my face up he kissed me. "Yours," He agreed. I smiled and snuggling up to him I fell fast asleep in strong arms.

Dracula's point of view

I looked down and the dead woman on the ground. In my anger I had not only raped the human woman I had tortured her and finally killed her. She was innocent I admit but I didn't care. I knew I would never do what I wanted to do to Katie for willingly leaving me. The human that lay dead at my feet allowed me to release my anger as I wished without actually harming Katie. However Katie would know of my anger. I had ordered Sedrick to take pictures so that my bride would know what she had caused. I wanted my bride to know an innocent had paid for her treachery. I didn't know if it would affect Katie or not but I was guessing it would make her feel guilty at the very least.

Relieved and fed I felt more relaxed. I had needed release far more than I realized as suddenly ideas came to me. I had missed the most obvious way of finding Katie. "Sedrick. Check the tapes and see if the cameras got a flash of the license plate. We can track my bride through the slayers." Sedrick nodded and left the room.

I walked to the window as dawn approached. "You may have gotten away for a time young Katie but I will have you back soon."
