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?

12. Chain

*~Chain~*

Victor was caged and in chains when Todd and Marty arrived at his side. He didn't fail to notice Marty's tousled hair and Todd's grin of sexual satisfaction as they appeared next to his cage. "Victor, there's something I have to tell you," Marty spoke as she struggled to hold back her tears. "I'm very sorry... but we're over. I want to be with Todd."

"I apologize, but I was mistaken about how I feel for you," she told him with a downcast expression.

"You're lying," Victor spat. "You still love me. I can see it in your eyes. Look at me... and tell me the TRUTH."

"I- I do not... love you."

"Don't deny it, Marty. You still love and want me. If you no longer love me, then give me a kiss good-bye. I will know by our kiss if you're telling me the truth."

Marty hesitated, knowing Todd would be furious, but she just had to feel Victor's lips upon hers one last time. She wanted that one final kiss from him before he had to leave her life forever. Eventually, she gave in to her own desperate need.

"Todd, let him out so I can kiss him good-bye," Marty insisted.

"I am not letting him out so you can-."

"Do it, Todd," Marty said forcefully. "I have to give him a proper good-bye. Let him out... for me."

Staring into Marty's sweet face, Todd went against his better judgement, and he eventually relented. Even in this - getting rid of Victor - he was going through so much torment. "Make it quick," Todd said as he set his brother free. "I want you to tell him good-bye NOW, Marty... so we can have him removed from the underground lair... and we'll never have to set eyes on him again."

Todd stood there with his arms folded across his chest, waiting for Marty to kiss his twin brother farewell. Marty took a step closer to Victor as he reached out and tugged her into his embrace. As his lips crashed onto hers, their kiss became one of steamy passion and Victor knew without a doubt that Marty still loved and wanted him.

Pulling away triumphantly, Victor stared into Marty's eyes. "You still love and want me, Marty. I knew it," he spoke.

Todd felt great anger as he viewed Victor and Marty's passionate kiss. "Marty, you have to decide, me or Victor," Todd insisted.

Feeling torn apart, Marty said with frustration, "I am the one in chains here. It's so unfair... I love you both, and I cannot choose either of you. Maybe it's me who should leave and never return."

"If I have to choose, neither one of you can have me. I am leaving here," she revealed.
