I Love You Both

by angelsinstead

Marty has been waiting impatiently for her vampire lover to come and take her away from her unhappy existence. She would provide him with sustenance and sex, and he would provide her with safety from the abuse and unhappiness she had known in her life. How could she have known it would be so complicated? How could she have known that HE would want her, too?

8. Destruction

Destruction

Todd sat in the great hall of the underground chamber sipping from a glass of bloodwyne as he spoke to Caleb and Kharis. "When do we go to rescue Marty?" Todd asked the ancient vampire.

"These things must be handled delicately. If we act too quickly, we risk Marty being hurt in the ambush," Caleb stated.

"When we rescue Marty, I will destroy my brother," Todd vowed.

"You really hate him, don't you?"

"He took the woman I loved from me. He wants her for himself."

"And you can't stand the thought of that," Kharis said quietly.

"Victor will not have her. Marty is mine," Todd spoke in steely voice.

As Todd planned Victor's demise, Marty too lamented. She feared the destruction of her heart for loving both brothers. She stood at the window, watching the leaves falling to the ground.

"Come back to bed," Victor called out to her.

"I can't," she spoke in a painful voice.

"He's not coming for you, Marty," Victor said as he lay on the bed reaching out for her.

"Maybe not tonight. But he WILL be here. And what do I tell him when he arrives?" Marty said sadly. "How do I tell him that I love you both?"

"You'll just be honest. As you were with me," Victor stated. "If he truly loves you, he'll understand."

"Todd will never understand," Marty said as a tear slid down her cheek.

Victor rose from the bed and took her in his arms. "Don't cry," he said as he tenderly kissed her. "If Todd casts you aside, you'll always have me."

"That's what you're hoping for, isn't it? That he'll be angry and destroy our bond... then I'll be yours."

Victor stared into her eyes. He couldn't deny it. He wanted Marty for his own. He didn't want Todd in the picture.

"You and he are both alike. Ruthless and possessive. And as stubborn as hell."

"You're the stubborn one," Victor laughed as he lifted her in his arms and carried her back to bed.

"Let's make love again," he coaxed.

"Don't you ever get enough?"

"Of you? ... Never. I will want you forever, Marty," Victor said as he nibbled her neck.

She sighed when she felt his fangs. He was hungry again. Like his brother, Victor was always ravenous.

"Then let's have some sex while you have a snack," she said as she caressed his hair.

"I love you," he whispered before sinking his fangs into her soft flesh.
